"HI GUYS! IM YOON SU-YEOUN, GLAD TO BE WORKING WITH YOU GUYS...PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME SU" Su said with a boxy smile plastered on her face.
"So, guys, this is Su-yeon and she's officially joining us as of today," bangchan said hinting hesitation in his voice.
"Heyy..." that almost sounded like a harmony dude.
"Heyy?....well care to introduce yourselves.... or maybe ask something?" Su said trying to put away the awkward air.
"Well, Su I'm bangchan, the leader, I'm sure you know that part for everyone...have you been briefed?"
"Oh yes! I've been briefed," said Su.
"I'm sure you'll get to know more along the way...you can call me Chan by the way" replied Chan.
"Tell us something about yourself, Su" Changbin said wanting to start a conversation.
"Well, I'm turning 19 soon and have been training at JYP for 5 years of which I've been trained with the production team for 3 years, Professionally I'm a vocalist. I used to live in America when I was 8 so I'm fluent in English and basic Spanish. Hope I can be of some help," said Su with a full 90° bow cause the way everyone was looking at her..damn..looked like a bunch of teens picking up on a pre-schooler.
Jeongin had been looking at Hyunjin who was staring at his plate possibly with the worst expression ever until he looked up and spoke "You couldn't possibly find a better time to come...its 1 at night."
"I'm sorry my flight landed a bit late...I had gone to meet my parents last week" Su said.
Hyunjin hissed out with annoyance "Of course... She had to stir up trouble the moment she came", he said as he pushed away his plate and went back to his room slamming the door.
"He's just in a bad mood...please don't mind him," said jeongin following Hyunjin.
"Oh, sure it's alright ha-ha" Su said still trying not to make this any more awkward.
"Come on in then... I'll show you the room," bangchan said gesturing towards the hallway.
*Walking off*
"We haven't prepared much because we thought it'd be the best if you decorated your room the way you want it to be...I hope that's fine" bangchan explained while Su hummed along.
"Also, practice starts sharp at 9 and the schedule is posted by the management on the official group which you've already been added to...I've added you to our personal group chat as well...dinner is kept in the fridge if you wanna eat something...so just use the oven and the Wi-Fi password is shared in the personal chat."
"That's your room...we leave together at 8:30....so get up a bit earlier...Good night!"
"Good night!" Su said.
By 3, I had finished setting up my room, put up some lights and plants, set up my table and my wardrobe, and then finally removed my makeup and went to sleep with some jazz music.
the table in front of the bed
wardrobe at the corner
the washroom
*At eight forty-five in the morning*
BANG! BANG!
"Hey, Su...are you awake?? we've gotta leave" said Minho.
"Yeah...be there in five" she groaned pushing herself out of the bed.
The woman didn't even shower... just packed up some extra clothes...drowned herself in perfume brushed her teeth, tied a bun, and legit RAN FR. She didn't even realize when the alarms had gone off. I mean obviously she had a flight yesterday, rushed over here as soon as she could...she was tired.
*Living room*
"Hey sorry guys...I slept a bit late yesterday so couldn't wake up on time'' Su tried to justify herself.
"Can we skip over the explanation part we're already late" hyunjin said clearly annoyed.
"Yeah, I'm really sorry."
"Your breakfast?" inquired Han.
"I'll skip it don't worry" she said forcing a smile and taking faster strides to reach up to Chan.
"Hey Chan, I really am sorry. Setting up things took a bit long."
"I mean I did tell you we'll wake up early" he chuckled "But don't worry it's fine, it could happen once in a while" he said shrugging off a smile.
I did smile back but I knew I had disappointed them the very first day we had to start as team and I felt very guilty. We drove off to JYP and were obviously questioned about why we were late.
"Only if some people could appreciate their chances right now or maybe pd-nim might've looked for more punctual people, we wouldn't have to listen to all that right now" Hyunjin sneered putting in the pen-drive. Bangchan sent off a look of sheer disapproval to him, but man pretended not to notice.
"Have you been told our routines Su-yeon?" Leeknow asked.
"I've been practicing your routines accustomed to woojin sunbae's positions so yepp I know...don't worry" Su replied
Lee know smiled back and said, "Alright let's start then!"
.....
We had been practicing for hours right now. Legit hours...omg I stank dude YUCK! and i was tired as hell. all that jet lag and the sleep deprivation was hitting me at that one moment.
In the middle of rehearsing miroh, I slipped and fell..hard fall I must say..everyone came up and looked at me.
I assured them I was fine...but I kept messing up.
"I think we should take a break" said Felix
and the moment lee know hummed back everyone legit banged themselves straight on the floor with grunts and groans filling up the room except one person, the one person who had been looking at me as if he would pierce through my soul right at that moment- HYUNJIN.
"Why should we? because we've got to adjust with our new frail addition" he said
"Hyunjin pleas-" bangchan tried to put this fight off but hyunjin paid no heed.
he marched straight towards where bangchan and I stood "why should i? all of you were talking nonstop about how good she is and that's how much? She can't even dance properly, do heck with the singing please."
I had had enough of this shit please I know I messed up, but one bad day cannot define me..I was tired as hell and that's reasonable.
"Hyunjin..I know you're annoyed but one bad day cannot freakin define me right now..I came back home after a long flight yesterday at 1...so obviously there's jet lag, I slept at 3am because I had to set up my room and right now, I have been dancing for hours before I slipped, by accident which could've happened to anyone " it's almost as if I had revolted back. None of it was my fault, he had been treating me like shit for no good reason since the very first day and I chose not to put up with it.
"Also, about me being any good...I have proved myself and won my way here so please do not question the ability right now...I understand you have a problem adjusting with me but you should try keeping that to yourself....comprise? Because that's what teams do, there are several things I could say as well but I choose not to, because I really do not want to spoil my first day here" I said all of that looking straight in his eyes.
"Practice ends in 15 minutes anyway... can I go home earlier...I think I've sprained my ankle?" I said waiting for lee Know's approval.
lee know nodded softly and Su rushed back to the dorm.
"You should be sorry hyunjin, it's not her fault she was chosen to be a part of this team and believe it or not she already has joined us, so you need to understand that we are working as a team right now..stop blaming her" said changbin.
"I'm sorry Hyung " was all he could mutter before he rushed out.
