The Reason? - Yoon Jeonghan

Chapter 10 - 1/2

      "I didn't expect him to get it at all, but he still understood after a moment. We put the girl to sleep after that. We had to rest in order to get a better grasp of the situation." Jeonghan nodded, understanding what his friends had done. They were already three to know of the situation. Sleeping on it would make them have a fresh mind and point of view in the morning.

     "I'm sorry for you all, and Ophely. That must have been a hard moment." Jihoon just waved at him nonchalantly.

      "It was nothing, if Joshua is sure about what he is saying, we believe him. In the morning he got us all together as if we were having a meeting. It was just you, well Ophely, who was acting out of place. And since he told us who she was, we believed him." He said.

      "And that accent is phenomenal." Seokmin said from the back of the group, holding two thumbs up in the air. They laughed at his joke, but it was true. Ophely spoke English with a strange accent, in between Scottish and other English-speaking countries. It was far form Jeonghan's Korean laced one when he spoke. "Couldn't be you." He added on a later note. It would have been hard to not believe in something that was right in front of you, so many things going against what you thought to be the truth. They had all quickly accepted the fact that she wasn't their friend. Jeonghan nodded again, waiting for them to continue.

      "Joshua and I have been teaching her a bit of Korean everyday."

      "And we practiced dancing today, since she was understanding Korean quicker than any beginners, we thought that it was somehow related to the fact that she was in your body, who knew those things." The boys all started laughing quietly, shoulders shaking as they turned away from the screen. Jeonghan was still left in the dark, the story on the tip of Soonyoung's tongue. "She's not bad..." He said slowly, grimacing with each word, Seungkwan elbowed him in the ribs, "But she's not good either."

      "She's terrible." The other cut it, "She was dead after two hours, as if your body couldn't handle any more, and then she was bumping into everyone during the dance. She knew where to go, but not how. She is heavy on her feat. Overall, a bad dancer." Jeonghan smiled again as each of the boys started giving their opinions on what had been told.

      "She wasn't that bad, clumsy but still had a lot of potential-"

      "She understood the basis, just had a hard time putting them in order-" It was a never-ending debate on how good she was at dancing.

     "Stop." Seungcheol cut in, his hands cutting through the air, asking each of the boys to quiet down. "This morning, before dancing, Joshua took her to meet with the manager." His ears perked up at that, he leaned on the desk, crossing his arms in front of the portable computer. This was more important information than knowing how she was, the serious stuff should have come first, then the fun.

      "He said that he'll put a notice out saying that you are sick and resting at the place alone while we work on our comeback. Meanwhile Ophely and you will reunite and get a move-on on how to get back in the right body. You also have to learn the choreographies, lyrics and what else we were preparing. On our side, Ophely will physically work your body so that you don't become a couch potato and study for her exams that are coming after the Christmas holidays, she said around the second and third week of January. So the faster you are back in the right body, the better." This wasn't good news, because if they had the bodies meet, it would definitely be Ophely's body moving, not his. Sasaengs and other privacy-killers couldn't know about it, if they did, then that would be a whole mess to untangle.
