It's You | Ryuryeong

"NAE!" they answered

A few minutes later, Chaeyeon and Chaeryeong did their duet dance.

After that, Chaeyeon did her solo, of course a lot of the students cheered for her. While Chaeyeon was still performing, Chaeryeong was nervous at the side waiting. She couldn't breathe properly because of nervousness.

"Hey Chaer, just calm down, you'll do great" Yeji said and patted her back

"I know... I'm j-just nervous" Chaeryeong said and took deep breathes. Usually one these kind of occasions, Ryujin was there to wait on the side with Chaeryeong before the younger could step on stage. Ryujin would always compliment her and comfort her before she performed and today wasn't just her day.

Chaeryeong can't take Ryujin off of her mind, they always did dance and performances together so how will she get rid of the thought of Ryujin if she's going to perform in a while.

"Ryeong, stop thinking about it, you'll do great" Eunbi said

"Yeah Ryeong, you're our power maknae remember?" Yena said

Chaeryeong took a glance from the side, checking if Ryujin was in one of the seats watching but none, she was disappointed but at least she saw Lia, Winter and Giselle watching. Even Yuri and Natty.

"Thank you Lee Chaeyeon!" they heard and Chaeyeon went to them as soon as she got finished. The MC did a little bit of talking so Chaeryeong could have some time

"U-unnie... she's not here" Chaeryeong said as she fiddled with her fingers

"Who?" Chaeyeon asked

"Ryujin.... she always tell me that she'll watch me perform... no matter what but she's not here today" Chaeryeong said worriedly

"Ryeongie, you'll do great no matter what. That's the important thing. A lot of the students are waiting for you, you don't want to disappoint them right? you're our powerful maknae, the one that no other can beat" Chaeyeon said and Chaeryeong felt a little bit better after that. She was then called to perform

While Chaeryeong was performing, the other girls were watching from the side.

"Its kind of sad" Eunbi said

"What is?" Yena asked

"Its Ryeongie's performance and Ryujin's not here" Yeji said

"Worse part is...." Chungha trailed off

"Its Chaeryeong's last performance here" Chaeyeon said and sighed

"If only Ryujin knew...." Chaeyeon added and glanced over the audience, hoping that at least Ryujin was at the side watching but none.
