the girls widened their eyes in awe as they find their way to sit in the long table, they were currently in a meeting room.

they all remained silent, the awkwardness hovering as they all werent close despite of the sudden fun they made last night.

cutting the silence was the creak of the door, an intimidating woman in her late 30s enters the room, followed by another intimidating woman with a boy cut type of hair, behind her was a man in his 30s, which is obviously gay, the last one was by far the scariest looking woman they have seen, just by the sharp glare she has given to the girls.

the girls stood up, bowing as they sat back down.

the four of them sat down, staring at the girls' deep souls, making the girls uncomfortably intimidated.

"let's start, im bae yoon jung. i'll be the head teacher and will scold every single one of your mistake."

the girls gulped.

"i'm cheetah, i hope atleast two of you are rappers or you're all dead to me."

the girls swallowed thickly.

"my name's soyou, i'll be the vocal trainer. i hope you girls would meet my expectations."

the girls looked at each other.

"i'm choi young jun. dance trainer."

eunbi first talked, "m-my name's kwon eunbi. i'm the leader among the members-"

"leader? are you sure you're qualified to be one?" bae yoon jung says, cutting eunbi off as everyone  gulped.

"there's no such qualification to prove a person my worth as a leader." eunbi spat, making the girls widen their eyes at eunbi's statement.

bae yoon jung glares at her. "disrespectful."

"thanks." eunbi replies, smiling.

they all introduced themselves, and it was now yujin's turn.

"i'm ahn yujin-"

"oh, your profile here says youve been to detention a lot of times? how did you make it here? did you threat the students?" soyou says, chuckling sarcastically.

the girls couldnt believe what they have heard, sure yujin was known as the bully but what she had said was a bit too rude for a teacher to say that.

yujin was fuming in anger, but she managed to stay calm. "yes, but i never threatened any students to vote for me."

soyou laughed. "you obviously did."

"I SAID I DIDNT." yujin loudly spoke, standing up in anger, as wonyoung and minju, who were beside her, held her arms to bring her back to sit down. (love triangle, charot.)

"yujin, dont." wonyoung spoke, making yujin go back from her thoughts and sit back down.

"i cant believe you girls are being disrespectful to us. well in fact, we'll be teaching and training you for a month." choi young jun spoke, dissapointment written on his face.

"the competition will be held next month, on exactly june 15-- yes, choi yena, why are you raising your hand?"

"im sorry but we didnt know tHIS WAS A COMPETITION????"

the girls freaked out, they never knew this was a competition as they thought they'd only perform.

soyou smirks, "yes, so starting now, you'll be practicing on your dance, and then you'll start singing in the music studio after twoweeks. let me tell you, you girls only have two weeks to memorize the dance you'll be performing, there will be sub unit performances too."

sakura sighed, pressured as she wasnt even the best dancer nor the best vocalist, she didnt even know if she'd be able to memorize more than one song.

chaeyeon noticed the unusual face of sakura. "hey, are you alright? you seem bothered."

sakura just nods, avoiding eye contact as she spoke, "im fine. no need to worry."

"we'll be meeting you girls later at 1pm, after lunchbreak, at the dance studio."

with four bowls of jjampong and jajjangmyeon on the long table, the girls started eating their stomachs out while munching an awkward silence.

no one dared to talk, heck, they werent even close to each other, and it's something to be fixed.

nako scanned each and everyone of them, she noticed how everyone were talking to nobody but there partners only.

yena and yuri were arguing as usual, minju and chaewon were eating while talking, she saw how minju laughed, chaewon maybe joked again. eunbi was eating while telling hyewon, who was eating like a hungry hyena, to calm the fuck down before she eats the whole plate.

yujin and wonyoung were looking like they were inside a puppy love, chuckling at each other while eating, she saw how yujin looked at wonyoung, wonyoung noticed that and looked at yujin, but yujin was fast enough to change her direction.

"hey, i noticed something about chaeyeon and sakura. is something going on between them?" hitomi says, making nako look at her.

"there WAS something between them, hiichan. dont you know?" nako spoke, emphasizing the word WAS.

hitomi shook her head, "no, all i know was that they were close back then. were they in a relationship?" hitomi asks, puffing her cheeks.

"yes they were, but then one day, i never saw them together again."

hitomi pouts, "that's sad. makes me wanna comfort them both."

nako chuckled. "hiichan why are you so cute?"

hitomi blushed at the older's statement, giving a shrug as she took a spoonful of jjampong. "i should be asking you that, why are you so small and cute, nako-chan?"

nako felt her heart flutter, obviously flattered and fluttered because of what hitomi has said.

"hey cute japanese girls! stop flirting" they turned to look to the left, it was yena who said that, earning chuckles from the girls.

nako blushed, "we're not flirting!"

yujin laughed, "sure, shortie. i saw you blush!"

nako glared at the younger, "dont you call me shortie!"

yujin just stuck her tongue, continuing to eat while still chuckling.

"here, i know you love this." chaeyeon spoke, her chopsticks holding onto a riceball as she put it to sakura's plate.

instead of thanking, sakura grabbed the riceball using her chopsticks, "i dont like that anymore."

chaeyeon sighed. "you changed." she muttered, but loud enough for sakura to hear that.

she sarcastically chuckled, "do you expect me to be the same? how irrelevant."

chaeyeon sadly nods.
