Bohye handed out a sheet of paper tilted Aegukga. The members looked at each other confused.

“Um… Teacher Lee, why are we practicing Aegukga instead of a pop song?” Minhyuk asked.

“Because, you all need to work on long high notes. This is the perfect song to practice for those needs. All we have an audience.” Bohye pointed at you and Daeso in the corner. “Now some of you have the female part, by some of you I mean all of you guys, us girls have the male part now try to stay on beat,  stay together, matching the male part, and we’re singing it acapella.” Bohye walked to her piano, started the metronome. “One, Two,” She pointed at three to cue the members.

Until the day when the East Sea's waters and
Mt. Baekdu are dry and worn away,
God protect and preserve us.
Long live our nation!

Three thousand Li of splendid rivers and mountains,
filled with Roses of Sharon;
Great Korean People,
stay true to the Great Korean way.

The pine tree atop foremountain
stands firmly unchanged under wind
and frost as if wrapped in armor,
as is our resilient spirit.

Three thousand Li of splendid rivers and mountains,
filled with Roses of Sharon;
Great Korean People,
stay true to the Great Korean way.

Autumn sky is void and vast,
high and cloudless,
the bright moon is our heart,
undivided and true.

Three thousand Li of splendid rivers and mountains,
filled with Roses of Sharon;
Great Korean People,
stay true to the Great Korean way.

With this spirit and this mind,
give all loyalty,
in suffering or in joy,
love the country.

Three thousand Li of splendid rivers and mountains,
filled with Roses of Sharon;
Great Korean People,
stay true to the Great Korean way.

Everybody clapped at the end of the song.

“Ilhoon, can you start from ‘Autumn sky is void and vast.’ again?” Bohye asked Ilhoon.  He nodded. Bohye restarted the metronome.

“Autumn sky is void and vast~” Ilhoon sung as high as he could. Everybody but Ilhoon clapped. He blushed in embarrassment.
