'Come out in 10 minutes. I'll pick you up'
'Where're we going?'
'Norae bang. You said you haven't gone yet'
'Nae'
I ended the phone call.
I looked through my suitcase full of clothes and threw on Adidas leggings, an adidas top, and my old basketball jacket for my club.
I pushed a cap onto my half damp hair and grabbed my Adidas superstars
Grabbing my phone off the ledge of my bedside table, I walked through the living room to the door.
"Ohdie ga?" (Where you going) Jihyo unnie asked curiosly from the couch
"Out. I'll be back in an hour" I slipped my shoes on
I was meeting PD-nim at the parking lot outside of our dorm so I headed out.
When the elevator doors opened, no one was there. I waited for a little bit on my own.
Wow, it really is starting to get cold in Korea. Living in LA and Christchurch I never really felt the cold. Especially because I was only in Christchurch for the time that it was summer.
I didn't wait long, until PD-nims black car stopped where I was standing
I open the door to the backseat and climb in
"Annyeong-haseoyo" I say politely
"Aren't you cold" He turns the car around to leave the small parking lot
"A little. Gwenchana-yo"
The rest of the ride was prettying silent. Unless PD-nim asked me simple questions that I just answered yes or no to
"I just got a text that the boys are already there" PD-nim quickly looked at his phone
It only took 10 minutes and we were infront of the Norae bang
PDnim opened the door for me and I walked in. It was actually really quiet. I guess everyone is at work or at school
"Annyeong-haseoyo" I bow down as I walked in
He guided us to the room the boys were in and I opened the door to see them all on their phones
"Disappointing" I joked around while shaking my head
"I'm angry at you" Mark oppa joked back while looking up from his phone
"What why?" I ask sitting on the end of the row. Next to Youngjae oppa
"What time did you go to bed last night?" He asks giving me a stare
"I don't know"
"Yes you do"
I shake my head indicating for him to stop talking about this and he laughs
They all bow down to PDnim and say their hellos
"I know you guys are busy but I thought it would be nice to have a casual talk" PDnim starts
He starts talking about Got7's future plans and everything that he is planning for them in the future. It sounds like a lot for them, I think they'll be able to manage it though. I want them to hit it big
We finish off the taking and Junior oppa was the first to start with a simple song.
All the oppas one by one sang a song along with PDnim
It came down to only Mark oppa and me that hadn't sang a song.
"Sing one together" Jackson oppa suggests
I look through the book but there was nothing that I wanted to sing
"Sing this with me" Youngjae oppa suggests pointing to a song in the book
It was 'Almost is never enough'
"Okay. I don't know it very well" I warn him and he starts putting the number into the Norae Bang machine
JB oppa hands me a mic and the instrumental starts to play
~Almost is never enough
I gave Youngjae oppa a smile as I added harmony to the last note. I put the mis down embarrassedly but no one said a word. It was so silent that it hurt
"Okay. Mark oppa, your turn" I hand Mark oppa the mic trying to get out of this awkward situation
Youngjae oppa gave me a high five and I smiled happily
After getting over the awkward silence, Mark oppa finally grew some balls and rapped. I didn't know what song it was, but it was an English song that I think was quite old
The rest of the time we just mucked around and used up the time we had left on the Norae bang machine
PDnim had to leave earlier which left just the boys and I. We used up all of our time on the machine so we were just sitting on the chairs doing nothing
"Where're you going now?" Mark oppa asks
"Training centre" I reply checking my phone to see what the time was
"Do you have a ride?" JB oppa asks. I shook my head
"I can grab a taxi" I suggest
"I'll go with her to the training centre and you guys go back to the dorm" Mark oppa told JB oppa
"Arahso" JB oppa agreed
It's really easy to grabs taxis in Korea. There's so many of them that you just have to wait for one to come down the street
We grabbed a taxi really quickly and jumped in. Mark oppa told the taxi driver were to go and we were off.
I lean on the window and close my eyes. I'm actually so tired, but the showcase is tomorrow and I have no choice but to practice if I don't want to embarrass myself and stay in major
"I know you slept at 4 last night" He sounded like my dad
"Stop talking to Jihyo unnie 24/7" I say sitting up
"You need to know how to take care of yourself"
"I do. Oppa, don't you understand that I have to compete tomorrow with a dance that isn't completed, and one that I haven't even started yet."
He realised that I was just tired and stressed out. He couldn't win me anyways
He pulled me into a hug
"I'm just worried" He says apologising though he didn't do anything wrong
"Are you feeling better?" I ask remembering that he wasn't feeling too well yesterday.
"Molla. Not really" He replies. I knew that he wasn't feeling too good because he would usually just say that he's fine.
"You can go home after dropping me off"
"No, I'll help you for a little first"
I jump out of the car as soon as the taxi drops us off in front of the training centre. Usually they would drop us off inside the carpark, but the taxi driver couldn't do that so the fans saw us.
They were waiting outside just to get a glimpse of some of the trainees.
They started to follow us to the door, we walked quickly as they filmed us.
Mark oppa grabbed my hand just incase and started to pull me to the door
The fans started to ask questions and I couldn't answer because there were so many, and also because I'm probably not allowed to
He opens the door and let's me in first before letting himself in
I pressed he button for the elevator and we went up to the 4th floor. Which is the floor with all of the dance practice rooms
We take the first room which was luckily empty.
As soon as we get in, I plug my phone into the aux cord
"Have you started making it?" Mark oppa puts his stuff down and walks to the middle of the mirror and bobs down
"I don't know if it's any good" I try to remember the dance I made in my head
"Show me" He says and I start to play the music
I start showing him some of the dance that I made last night
"You have no strength in your moves" He says and I go to turn the music off
"I'm tired" I defend myself
"Do it again but without music and slowly"
I do what he says. I start doing the moves that I made up slowly without music. I counted in my head
"What's this?" He starts to do one of the moves that I just did
"I don't know"
"You can't be unsure in what you're doing" Is he going to be like this the whole day? He's not usually like this
"Why're you being like this?" I was confused. Is he mad at me?
"Because to get this done by the end of today, we need to work quickly and perfect everything"
I just nod and keep working on the dance
I'm p
~ 4 hours later
Will he stop being such a bitch?
He would just criticise me the whole time and be a bitch about everything
We were in the middle of picking the dance for the second dance that I had to do
"I don't like the 'Slow Motion' one" He was really starting to push my buttons
"What one do you want me to do then?" There was no other dance for me to do
"
I sigh and start playing that song. I show him the dance and his face didn't change
"Stop being so weak with your moves" Mark oppa criticised me once again
"Are you doing this on purpose?" I took my cap off and ran a hand through my hair before pushing my cap back on
"Why does it look like you're not trying?"
I started to get hot in fustration.
"I don't know oppa! I am! I'm so tired right now and you're pushing me so hard. Why're you being like this?"
He looked just as angry as I did. What is he angry about? He doesn't even have anything to be angry about
"If you're not going to try, then I'm just wasting my time here"
"I am trying.." I trailed off incase he yelled at me even more
"Well it sure doesn't look like it" He stands up and grabs all of his stuff and starts walking out of the room frustrated. What did I do to him?
I was trying my hardest though I'm so tired right now. I feel like I'm dying and he's just making it worse. But what did I do to him? Nothing
I started to practice on my own but I just couldn't concentrate or think.
I grab my phone out of the six cord and look for someone to call. I needed someone to talk to. I usually don't like talking to people in this situation, but I needed to talk to someone because I honestly don't know what to do or what I did wrong. I don't know how to solve this
I tried calling Jackson oppa
Bringggg, bringggg
Just to my luck, he didn't pick up
I turned to my mum, she was the next person I knew to call
Bringgggg
'Hello?'
I smiled at the familiar voice of my mum over the call
"Mum" I say sitting down in the corner of the room
'What's wrong darling?"
Just listening to her voice soothed me
"Whys Mark oppa being a complete bitch today? He said that he'll help me with my dance and he's being such a dick about it and making everything difficult"
'Where is he?'
"He just left"
'I know for a fact that he's not feeling well at the moment. You're probably tired and stressed and things didn't match up. You can do it on your own though. Can't you?'
"It's just so annoying and stressful. He's just making it worse" I wanted to burst into tears, but I won't
'You've got this, you don't need him'
I chuckled a little before answering
"Love you mum"
'Love you more honey, you've got this'
I end the call and I take a massive breath
So maybe he just wanted to go home but I was being difficult? I don't even know.
I plug my phone in again and start to play that song reallyyyyyy loudly. It relieved a little bit of stress
I practiced,
And practiced,
And practiced.
Until my body couldn't practice anymore. It was just past midnight
I finally got everything done, obviously not to my liking, but it's done
My phone suddenly rang and I looked onto the screen to see that it was Jackson oppa.
"Hello?"
I pick up the phone call
'Beth, I just saw that you called now. Mihane'
"That's fine" I started to pack my things up
'Where are you? Have you had dinner?'
"I'm still at the training centre. I'm going to leave now. I'm so tired"
'What?!' He almost yelled into the phone 'Yah, are you crazy? Do you want me to pick you up?'
"No no. I'm going to take a taxi"
There was a silence over the call
"Is Mark oppa at the dorm?"
'Yes he's in our room. Do you want me to put him on the line?'
"No, tell him that I say to rest up. Is he okay?"
'Still sick, but doing better I think'
I sigh. I probably made him more sick
'Okay rest up. You're probably knackered. Want to stay the night at our dorm?'
"Aniya, I have filming in the morning so I'll have to stay at our dorm."
'Balli jah'
"Yes oppa, bye"
I end the call
