Chapter 12

<January 2022>

Eunhye's P.O.V

It's the second week of our promotions and yet I still feel nervous whenever we have to perform. Not to mention that we're promoting at the same time as NCT 127. 

I mean of course I'm happy that I get to see Mark after 2 months but we'll start competing for a win starting next week since they're not eligible to compete for a win yet this week.

"I'm so nervous, we're competing for a win today right?" Chaewon asked while fiddling with her phone.

Gaeun nodded at her, "Yeah, I'm not sure that we can win though since this is only our debut. Let's hope for the best." she said truthfully.

"Are we doing the opening act again?" Soomin asked. Jieun, who was the calmest in the room right now, nodded. "We're the only rookies debuting this month so we'll most probably keep on performing first for this month's promotions." Jieun added.

I looked down at the floor, suddenly feeling worse than before. What if I mess up during the dance break? It would probably ruin our chances in winning today's show. Not only that I would probably embarrass myself, Mark would be watching me embarrass myself.

"Yah, ice princess. You don't need to hide your emotions when you're with us." Jieun called out to me, causing the other members to turn their heads towards me. "I know you're nervous and worried right now, no need to hide it." she encouraged me. 

I look over to Jieun, letting out a small smile to assure her that I'm fine. Chaewon walked towards me and hugged me, "Aww look at you, you're actually so nervous to the point you're shivering like a small hamster." she cooed at me.

I blushed at the affection, "Thankyou..?" I asked, confused at how should I act towards this kind of compliments.

Knock knock.

We looked over to our waiting room's door, wondering who would be knocking at such time since the performance isn't until later. Our manager went to open the door us, revealing our visitors.

NCT 127.

I widened my eyes and immediately looked over to the mirror to check if there's anything weird with my face right now. Jieun raised an eyebrow while looking at my actions but I just ignored her.

"Yo, dongsaengs! Congratulations on your debut!" Haechan entered our room loudly, the other 127 members following behind him.

Taeyong sighed loudly, "Haechan, where are your manners? Gaeun and Chaewon are older than you." he scolded the maknae lightly.

I discreetly looked over to Mark, who was also looking at me from the corner of his eyes. My heart leaped over from happiness, it's really been awhile since I last saw him. I'm a little bit disappointed that he dyed his hair blue since his original hair color is my favorite look on him. But regardless, I feel more than happy to see him again even if it's just a glance.

I looked over to look at my other members, most of them were talking to their partner during the assessments. I looked over to Jieun and Soomin, who are talking to Johnny and Yuta respectively.

"Min Eunhye, right?" 

I stopped looking around and looked at the person who had just called me, who happens to be Haechan. "Ah yeah, I'm Min Eunhye. Is there a reason why you called me, sunbaenim?" I bowed politely to him.

 "Can I get your phone number?" Haechan asked with a smirk. 

Huh? Why is he asking for my number? Maybe he wants to be friends?
