Chapter 6 - FEELS LIKE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Inside the dance studio there were 30 trainees, 20 were male and 10 were female including her but she was standing between the two groups.

Then a woman entered the room followed by 2 woman and a man of 25-35 of age. Then Sean ( in a red checkard polo with white tshirt, jeans and rubber shoes) and Yibo (blue powder with white t shirt and ripped black jeans) entered after them that caused a noise of fangirling and fanboying over the two specially Gee who was staring widely smiling at Yibo.

The woman in wihte shirt paired with pink dress signaled everyone to settle down. She is Ms. Kim Choon Hee 42 y/o

Ms. Kim: Good morning soon to be idols of this entertainment agency, I am Ms. Kim Choon Hee. I am the the chairman of your training team. I will be your, personality development trainer, proper etiquette and the female group's dance trainer. I hope we could work well. Anyway, I know you were all surprised to see these two Chinese superstars, as you can see they are part of this batch's training team. But I would also like to remind you that their being part of the team is a classified information. Everyone in this batch will be removed once the fact about them being one of your trainers come out to public.

She gestured everyone to sit.

Ms. Kim: you will be meeting with us everyday 8-10 hours a week but Mr. Yang and Mr Zhang will not be here everyday due to their busy schedule. But they will be training you every week for 3 months. So lets get to know your resident trainers first.

Ms. Nana Himitsu:( (Short red hair, black leather jacket with fur, red in black shirt with ripped jeans and balck boots) Konnichiwa, I am Ms. Nana Himitsu from AMPM ENT Japan but you can call me Ms. Nana, I will be your visual and dance trainer. Yoroshiku.

Kaito: (black shirt, black jeans black cap) Hellow everyone, Im Kaito from AMPM ENT Korea I will be one of your dance instructors.

When Sean stood up, the girls couldn't help their fangirl scream. So Ms. Kim gestured her hands again.

Sean: Thank you (he was smiling and acting shy) Hello everyone, Im Sean Zhang from AMPM Ent China, I will be your vocal trainer for 3 months, I hope I can impart my experiences and skills t you and may we meet in stage someday.

Everyone clapped at him, he went back to his chair bowing.

Yibo: Hello everyone I'm Yang Yibo- ( he was distracted by Gee)

Gee couldn't help herself she waved so hard and smiling widely to be noticed by Yibo, everyone gave her a glare except for the girl with brown curly hair wearing a tank top and a skirt and boots, she was Yuna, Sean also gave him a look like he was saying she have to behave herself but she was just puzzled and just continued waving at Yibo.

Yibo: I will be one of your dance trainer for 3 months.

Yibo went back to his seat but Sean stood up.

Sean: He is also from AMPM Ent China. (he went to his seat again) Bro at the back (he waved and smiled)

Gee: (waved back and smiled)

Ms. Kim: (stood up in front) Before you proceed to your dorms. We will talk about the house rules that you have to follow during your training. (she gestured her hands to a staff to distribute the manuals)

So as you can see there are cameras here in this dance room and you will also find them in other areas even on your kitchen dorms so we can monitor if you really are following the rules specially your diet. Any physical and endurance training aside from the program we will give you are allowed even sports but joining professional competitions are prohibited for it my cause conflict to your training schedules and serious injury.

Gee : (her thoughts) ah that's why Mr. Zhang asked me to quit racing (she frowned)

Ms. Kim: You have to take care of your physical appearance, having scars may somehow affect your appeal. You will be given weekly dermatological treatment.

Everyone got excited

Ms.Kim: Developing friendly relationship with each other is promoted but having intimate relationship with a fellow trainee or with an outsider is forbidden to avoid conflicts and issues that will affect your emotional state. Any form of bullying will not be tolerated. You will stay here for as long as before you debut so you have to bond as a family. For we call AMPM ENT a family of talented idols and artists. Your training duration before you debut depends on your talent and skills of course.

During the discussion, Yibo was sneaking a glimpse to Gee several times but Gee was so focused in reading the manual and listening to the speakers she didn't noticed it while Sean was observing Yibo and it made him smile he seems to come up with an idea.

Gee didn't even noticed the girl beside her slowly getting her seat close to her and she was acting shy. Yibo smirked because of it and Sean laughed silently. When it was Yibo's turn to speak, Gee got so excited if she can grow her neck long like a giraffe it will just to have a better view of Yibo.

Both Yibo and Gee were surprised when their eyes met and Gee gave him a very wide smile but Yibo ignored him like he was irritated so she pouted. Sean was having fun observing the two.

When Yibo came back to his seat, his ears were red because Gee was just looking at him the whole time and he tried to never look at her. She caught Gee smiling wide at him, she even waved at him. He was so irritated. The girl beside her seems irritated too because she was waving and smiling like an idiot. So the girl finally tapped her in her shoulder, Gee was surprised so she smiled at her.

Girl: Ah I-I've been trying to get your attention but you seemed pre-occupied, you've been waving at senior Yibo y-you didn't noticed me (she can't face her directly)

Gee: oh I'm sorry (she got worried, she hold the girl in her shoulder) did I hit you or something? Or were you saying something? I'm sorry

The girl blushed looking down

Girl: ah n-no um I-

Gee noticed that the girl was blushing so she immediately removed her hands on the girl's shoulder.

Gee: sorry hehe

Girl: Um a Y-your cap, your hair and your tshirt look familiar I thought you are Rin?

Gee: (was surprised and she blushed) ha ah haha n-no Im not haha who is that?

Girl: oh you didn't know him? He is a tunnel utaite.

Gee: ah what? Haha what is that (she felt nervous)

Girl: Sorry I thought he was you.

Gee: hahaha (she was nervously laughing) (her thoughts) shoot I never thought I might meet someone who liked my tunnel utaite profile and of all places I found one here haha (she was scratching her head)

Girl: ah a-anyways Im Maya (the girl smiled)

Gee: ah haha Im Gee, nice to meet you (she lend her hand to shake with her)

The girl was puzzled by her gesture but she shook hands anyway and it made her blush.

Yibo was watching the whole scene of her talking to the girl like they were in a romantic scene.

Yibo: (thought) I thought he was weird and gay but she turns out to be a girl but now she's flirting with a girl. (he smirked and turn away his eyes from them)

Sean: (observing the reaction of Yibo then he turn his look to Gee trying to keep his smile and his thoughts) haha nice one kid.

After an hour of discussing the rules, Yibo and Sean both stood up and whispered something to Ms. Kim, they were bowing to each other even the other trainer. Yibo and Sean had to go because they have another appointment on that day.

The two bowed to them and waved goodbye.

Sean: See you all next time and goodluck)

Yibo: (raised his fist gesturing "fighting")

and everyone waved goodbye and say their gratitude in return.

Gee was surprised to see Yibo leaving. She felt sad. The two were already gone from her sight.

She Was about to raise her hand when one of the boys raised his hand.

MT 2: ah Ms. Kim may we have a toilet break?

Ms. Kim: (was surprised she seemed to remember something she forgot) oh (she went to the other trainer and asked them)

Ms. Kim: oh sure we're very sorry we forgot. Yes you may all have your toilet break for 10 minutes.

Ms. Nana: but please do not run after Sean and Yibo.

Everyone let out a sound of relief and they went outside by groups. Except for her because she ran passed them. She didn't noticed Maya and Yuna who were about to approach her. She was running to the hallway looking for Yibo to the exit she even went outside but she didn't found him so she stopped running and walked pouting her lips.

She was about to return to the studio but she saw Yibo's bodyguard holding Yibo's skateboard. She get hyped and was about to approach the bodyguard when he seemed he saw someone coming for him then she turned and he saw Yibo she smiled wide at him she even waved but Yibo ignored him and passed her.

Gee: ah senior Yi- (she pouted with eyebrow crossing in confusion)

She followed him but Yibo's bodyguard blocked her way but she was able to dodge it sliding and she was in Yibo's front. Yibo turned on the other side.

Gee: (she stood up) I just want to say you thank you about earlier, when you shared your experience during your training and gave us advice to stay and persevere-

Yibo was totally ignoring him but Gee was just following him then his bodyguard was able to grab her.

Gee: and I just want to say goodbye. (she waved at him when bdg released her)

Yibo just ignored her and continued walking leaving her confused.

So she went back to the studio room. Then the orientation and lectures resumed.

When she went back to her seat there are two girls sitting on both sides of her chair at the back. It was Maya and the other one was unfamiliar (Yuna)

Maya waved and smiled at her. She smiled back.

Yuna: You must be Gee?

Gee: (she was surprised) ha? Ah ye-yeah (she smiled awkwardly)

Yuna: (she laughed in her thoughts) she remembered her conversation with Sean

Sean: you will easily recognize her just look for the craziest guy for Yang Yibo

Yuna: I am Yuna, its nice to finally meet you (she smiled)

Gee: Oh, yeah yes nice to meet you (she gave her a wide smile)

Maya: (was acting jealous)

Gee: (turned to her right) hi Maya (she smiled at her)

That made Maya blushed but Yuna's eyebrows crossed because of disbelief.

Meanwhile Yibo was heading to the studio for his hosting job he was riding in his skateboard with serious face almost look he was in a bad mood.

He suddenly remembered how Gee was smiling talking to the girl on her right and that made him smirked.

Yibo: How ridiculous (he said to himself)

At the studio with screaming fans. The staff cued cut to them. One of his co-hosts noticed that he seems not okey because he was very serious the whole time though he is serious most of the time but he can smile. He was surprised and was so disappointed at the same.

Yibo: Im okey, sorry to make you worry.

Co-host: No its okey, you must be tired.

Yibo: (bowed in apology)

Co-host: (he rubbed Yibo's back) ey stop that (he grabbed Yibo to stand straight) Its okey, your fans might worry or misunderstand it, don't worry, just take a rest while were on a break so you'll feel better.

Yibo: (nodded) thank you senior. (he turned his back and he exercise his breathing)

Going back to AMPM ENT training building. Everyone one was introducing themselves. Giving their names, nicknames, hometown, age, skill, inspiration and their reason for joining. When it was her turn…

Gee: I was a choir member during my elementary and high school days. Im also a member of a local dance troupe in my hometown. We've been performing as back up dancers for more than 10 years in a variety show and local artists in my hometown. I became an official member when I was 7 years old but we disbanded after my brother passed away from an accident 4 years ago.

Maya and Yuna were saddened and the others.

Gee: I have auditioned for almost 2 years to become a back up dancer of STK and other artists performing here in China but I was rejected several times while being a hotel lounge singer and service crew. I also got rejected by other ent agencies before I auditioned here. Im so thankful to AMPM ENT for giving me this chance. I thought I would be a sales agent in a motorcycle company or doing sidelines in singing at hotel lounges and night bars for the rest of my life.

Everyone were touched by her story and they even clapped.

Gee: The reason why I want to become an idol is I want to perform with my favorite artists and be friends with Yang Yibo. (she said it with a wide smile on her face)

Everyone reacted to what she was saying, majority was disappointed and they even laughed at it some just didn't care and she even heard someone said gay.

Ms. Nana gestured everyone to keep it down. Gee didn't showed any sad reaction she just smiled and bowed at them.

The introduction was finished. But before they left. Ms. Kim gave them an assignment.

Ms. Kim: You have a whole day tomorrow to get to know all your fellow trainees. You have to remember their names, nicknames, stage name and be able to tell something.

Everyone were worried but some were confident because they already in groups. Gee got worried because she's bad at remembering names of girls. When she turned to her side she saw Maya smiling and she waved goodbye at her. So she smiled and waved back.

It was already 8:00 pm when they were dismissed.

Gee was following Yuna. Yuna was walking alone like her. They were several feet apart. Then she saw Yuna stopped at the door of their unit and entered. She took a deep breathe before she knocked.

Yuna opened the door, she just gave Gee a look then she went back to her room.

Gee took a deep breath again and went to the terrace. There she released her frustration and worry on how she will talk to Yuna.

Gee: GAAAAAH what should I do. Haha I can deal being in the same room with boys but with a girl? (she sat feeling hopeless of her situation)

Her phone rang, it was Moru calling.

Moru: Yoh! Whats up, did yOu had your dinner already?

Gee: (her stomach growled) ah No (she cried)

While talking to the phone, Yuna turned on the lights in the kitchen and she took out some ingredients she was about to cook something.

Moru: Hey! I thought I told you to take care of yourself? I'll go there.

Gee: hey! No! You don't have to and besides visitors are not allowed at this hour. I don't want to get in trouble fetching you from the police station because they thought you were a burglar hahahaha

Moru: Hey! Its not time to play jokes on me huh? Wait for me at the gates I'll bring you your dinner.

Gee: Hey mom don't worry too much I saw a convenient store near our dorm.

Moru: No! I'll go there right now!

Gee: Hey Moru! Don't over react man! Haha I told you I can take care of myself. Missing a dinner is nothing to me.

They both remembered when Gee was so down after she lost her mother and his brother. She was not eating at all.

Moru: Okey… So how was your day?

Moru asked to change the mood when he knows that Gee suddenly felt sad.

Gee: (suddenly came back to normal) Oh you asked! Well aside from it felt like the first day of school hmmm HAHAHA it was awesome I got to see Yibo again and guess whaaat?? (she said excitedly)

Moru:What?

Gee: His one of our dance trainer!!

Moru: Oh okey

Gee: Hey! What kind of reaction is that?

Moru: KYAAAAAH WHAT OMG!

Gee: Your over acting (she said in a boring tone)

Moru: It's getting late, go eat now. Send me a picture of you eating something decent or else I will go to your dorm.

Gee: what? Tsh okey man!

Then they hang up. When she went inside she smelled something and it made her stomach growled louder. She followed the smell and she saw on the table a dinner set for two. She saw Yuna put a bowl of hot soup in the center. Her seat is also prepared for her. She was drooling. Yuna put a chopstick on her side. Yuna just gave her a look. So she sat imediately. Then she bowed her head.

Gee: Thank you very much.

Yuna: You wash the dishes. (she sdai without any emotion)

Gee: Y-yes ma'am

Yuna: (Raised her eyebrow then began to eat)

Gee: ah can I take a picture of it?

Yuna: (raised her eyebrow again)

Gee: ah my brother asked me to send him a picture of me eating and if I dont do that he will pester me big time. Im sorry I know its-

Yuna: Whatever ( she said and continued to eat)

Gee: ah thanks you, thank you very much.

Then she took a picture with her hand in peace sign then she send it Moru. When she had her first bite. She cried over the meal because it was delicious.

Gee: Waah its more delicious than Moru's

Yuna: Thank you. (without any smile)

Gee was surprised by it and she smiled and continued eating peacefully.
