Baby Steps

The mood is not right.

I feel the awkwardness inside the practice room.

We finish watching the last cover dance that our dance instructor sent us.

He said that we should memorize all the steps before the end of the week.

Just the thought of it makes my whole body ache already. I think I need to buy one box of menthol paches for my whole body.

But one more problem now, how can we do this if no one talk?

Yoo is busy writhing something again. Jay is dancing trying the moves from the video. He looks not tired at all. Where does he get that energy?

Joon is drinking water and sitting on the floor looking at Jay.

I moved closer to Joon and sat beside him.

I feel like Yoo will just ignore me if I bother him again.

"You're famous now right? you're doing great on your own? Why sacrifice your career to be on a group that we never knew when will get debut?"

As the oldest I think I should break the Ice. Its something a little personal but asking this kind of question will makes us closer.

For me, no assumptions should be made. If you want to know something about someone. Ask.

He smiled showing his dimples.

"Its better to suffer with someone than being alone. Success is nothing if you cant share it with someone. I always envy boy groups. They laugh, cry and fail but grow together. Thats the time that I feel like being on one too."

"What do you think about them?"

He tilted his head.

" I think we can do this, I believe in this company. Jay dance is really great, Yoo looks serious about this too. Things will be better. We will get our debut soon. For me, I need to practice more about dancing."

I admire his positivity.

I should make him the leader..

I think it will be great.

I heard my phone ringing.

"Oh! Its time! Come with me." I stand up looking at Joon with confused look.

I called Jay and dragged Yoo with us too.

"We should keep practicing." Jay dont want to leave yet buy I begged him. Nothing is more important than this time of the day.

We went inside a BBQ restaurant.

"No one should skip meals in this group okay!"

I get the menu on the table.

I feel strange.

I saw them all looking at me

"Serously?"

Wow. They got the same expressions.

"Dont worry its on me."

They happily ordered what they want. We ate like there's no tomorrow.

We talked about each other. We are slowly forming bond now. Slowly but moving forward.
