“Here are the keys.” Hara handed Youngji a silver key with a yellow coil keychain holder.

“Thanks a lot, unni.” Youngji gave her a hug.   “No, I’m really glad you decided to dance again.” Hara excitedly smiled.   Youngji nodded, “Me too.”   “I already told my employees one of my friends would be using this studio so you shouldn’t have anyone bothering your practice.” Hara looked around, “It’s a little small-“   “Unni, I’m just one person. It’s perfect.” Youngji assured.   Hara looked at Youngji’s small portable speakers, “You still have that?”   “Ah, my mom kept it after all this time. Although, I’m pretty sure I told her to just donate it a long time ago.”   Hara shook her head in disbelief, “Mrs. Heo is just..”   “More stubborn that you think.”   The two girls giggled.    “Well, I have to meet one of my designers, so I’ll just leave you here for now?”   Youngji nodded and followed Hara out to say goodbye.    When Hara left, she slowly closed the studio’s door and looked around the empty studio. She was facing the wall with the big mirror when she took a deep breath and connected her phone to the speakers.         “Mino-yah, whats wrong?”   Mino blankly stared into his empty music program as he slouched in the chair, “Nothing.”   “Well… just want to remind you that your album…”   Before his manager could continue Mino glared at him.   He put his hands up showing his loss, “I’ll go get you some coffee.”   Mino-yah, want some coffee? Her smiling face flashed in his mind.   “Aish, why the hell am I thinking about her.” he says to himself. Seemingly making up his mind, he grabs his phone in his back pocket.   Calling 'Minguk’s mom’   No one answered, instead Mino heard a familiar sound that made him sit up.   I love you love you
I love you love you
You know~ you know I love you~   “Hey Mino do you want-“   Mino held his hand up to stop his manager from speaking.
I took off my glasses and put on a skirt
Anytime, tell me if it’s becoming on me
Although it’s embarrassing I tried on makeup
Although you laugh, please don't, just tell me who am I being like this for anyway?   Mino’s eyebrows furrowed. This was Youngji’s favorite karaoke song. He remembered that she liked it so much that she made it her voicemail.   -  ♫I Love You - Navi ft Tablo♥   “Youngji, your turn! Sing something!” Hyeri pulled her out of her seat.   “N-No! I-Its okay. I’ll watch!”    Mijoo looked at Mino who was talking to Seungjin, but now he was staring straight at Youngji. Mijoo grabbed the karaoke remote from Jackson.   “Hey! I was about to sing some..” he lowers his voice into a whisper, “JYP.”   “Yeah, let Jackson sing. He’s been waiting.” Youngji quickly answered.   Jackson raised his eyebrows, “Why you suddenly acting like you care about my feelings?”   Youngji rolled her eyes. He’s so unnecessarily dramatic.    Just then, Jackson realized that Youngji, who loved karaoke, didn’t sing the whole night., “Yah, Heo Youngji. Are you sick?”   “WANG-“   Before any bickering could start, Jinyoung sat down and handed the mic to Youngji, while Mijoo pressed the play button.   Youngji was rarely shy and nervous, but she looked out and made eye contact with Mino. She quickly looked away and could feel heat accumulating at her cheeks and ears.   “Why are you turning into a tomato?” Jackson loudly exclaimed.    'I’m going to knock him out, then tie him to a chair, then torture him like how they did it to criminals in historical dramas.’ Youngji thought.   Youngji quietly sang the first part of the song, looking anywhere but at Mino. 'What if my voice cracks? Is my hair okay? Oh my gosh, why did I wear sweatpants today?', these were the only thoughts that filled Youngji’s mind.   Everyone cheered, but only Mijoo bit her lip because she could feel how uncomfortable her same aged friend was, "Youngji is going to kill me."   The song was soon coming to an end when Mino suddenly got up at the interlude and grabbed the second mic on the table. Youngji’s eyes followed him until he was standing right in front of her, “Mino..”   He brought up the mic to his lips,   "At first it was familiar and convenient to acknowledge you as a friend~
But as time passed things changed
Before I knew it You were changing to me bit by bit”   He took one big step closer to her.
"Honestly I started to want you too
I was kinda scared
Since it'd be awkward for me to tell you
Since I was afraid we'd grow apart
You still don't get my feelings do you? You probably don't know”   Mino wrapped his open hand around her forearm and eventually made his way to her hand, which he held softly, but securely. He
