In Gee's room.
It was 4:05 am in the morning according to her phone placed on her side table. She was already awake wearing a tshirt which looks bigger for her and a black pajama and she was stretching. Then she went to her closet and she opened it. Her clothes were all organized in her closet. She organized them before she went to bed at 10:00 pm. She arranged them according to length and types. From sweater, long sleeve hoodies, some sleeveless hoodies, checkered long sleeve polo, short sleeve polo, black Tshirt, powder blue tshirt, green, white tshirt, black and white sando and her skin toned bust binder. Below it were rolled pants, jogging pants, shorts, jersey shorts, beside it were her everyday clothes that are rolled according to color. On the doors of the closet, there were 3 black caps. She put in her drawer her rolled underwear, on the other one were her socks, then the other one were white face towels.
From her closet, she took her gray tshirt , sweater and black jogging pnts and socks. She put them on her bed then she went to the kitchen to wash her face and brush her teeth. She went back to her room then she changed her clothes , she put them laying nearly on her bed. She tied her bangs up, put on her black rubber shoes, she took her phone and headset from the side table then she headed to the door to go outside.
She went to the gate and the guard opened it for her when she said that she will jog. She gave him a salute then she started to jog. The guard was left with confused face, she was puzzled by it.
Its still a little dark when she came back. She used the stairs instead of the elevator to go the 5th floor of their dorm. When she reached their floor she turned back and decided to go to the rooftop. On her way up, she didn't noticed that Yibo came out from the door on the 7th floor because she was listening to her music player. Yibo was surprised. He was wearing a white shirt and black jogging pants and rubber shoes, his earplugs are still hanging on his neck. He was about to go downstairs when he noticed that the person he saw has a different pair of shoes when that person turned he smirked when he guessed and he was right it was Gee. He noticed that she was sweating and she looked like she came from jogging. He got curious so he followed her. Gee was jogging at the steps while he was just going up normally. Gee didn't noticed that her right shoe lace got untied and her left was stepping on it so when she lift her right foot she stumbled on her feet and she almost hit her face on the steps but she was able to land her hand but her knees hit the stairs and she cried on the corner while holding her knees. Yibo got worried, but when he was about to go to her but he stopped.
Gee: Gaaaah why am I wearing wrong pair of shoes again??? (she shouted) So that's why I stumbled (she realized) its Moru's fault. (her face was mad and kicked her right shoes off like a child but she immediately took it back again and wore it)
Gee tied her shoes then continued to run the stairs again. Yibo couldn't believe his eyes on what he have witnessed. He got worried but he realized it was useless.
Yibo: Crackbrained…
So he decided to go downstairs and was disappointed at himself for following a weird person like her.
Gee has finally reached the rooftop, the 20th floor of their dorm. She was almost running out breath but it all vanished when she was welcomed by the mixed of cold breeze and warmth brought by the rising sun.
Gee: (she walks forward with her eyes closed) Waaah it feels goooood (she stretched her arms and she bathed in the refreshing feeling the she removed her earphones)
Its already 6:55 am when she went back to her dorm. Yuna was preparing in the kitchen when she came.
Gee: Goodmorning
She smiled at Yuna but she didn't even gave her a look. Gee just smiled but she felt sad.
Gee: Ah can I help you? Im not a good cook but I am a good assistant (she smiled)
Yuna finally looked at her and she handed the loaf of bread.
Yuna: Use the bread toaster. Don't toast them too much. (she sadi without a smile)
Gee: (surprised but it made her happy so she accepted it with both hands) yes ma'am!
Yuna got irritated and went back to the stove.
Gee: s-sorry, uh w-what should I call you by the way? Ah for me you can just call me Gee (she still smiled)
Yuna: Yuna (she said without even looking at her)
Gee: Yuna (she smiled)
They were eating when her phone rang. It was Moru. She turned down the volume and continued eating. She was eating happily because of the delicious soup cooked by Yuna. She didn't noticed but Yuna smiled while catching a glimpse of her on how she was consuming the soup and the garlic rice she cooked. She was like a kid who have tasted those for the first time.
When Gee was finished , she checked her phone and she saw 10 missed call from Moru and a text message saying…
Moru: Why did you took one of my rubber shoes. Did you ate your breakfast? Im on my way to your dorm meet me at the gate.
She replied..
Gee: Don't go here, you have work today. Our training starts at 8:30 am Im probably inside the dance room once you get here. I'll return your shoe this weekend. I also had the most delicious garlic rice and chicken soup this morning. Im so lucky to have a roommate who is a master chef. So don't worry too much.
She volunteered to wash the dishes again but Yuna left her without a word which made her sigh and somehow sad.
She finished washing the dishes but Yuna was still in the bathroom so she decided to brush her teeth. Its already 8:05 when Yuna was finished. Yuna was there for 40 minutes. She smiled at her but Yuna was still cold at her. When she was inside the bathroom, she screamed in silence and she bathed as fast as she could. She was finished at exactly 8:20 then she ran to her room and put on her clothes, and fixed herself for 8 minutes. In the middle of that duration she heard the door opened and closed so she even got faster. Then she hurriedly went outside
Gee: Waaaaaah so it was true that pretty girls like her bath longer than guys.
She was running out of breath when she came to the dance room. Everyone was already sitting on the floor when she came. She was the last to come though she was just 3 minutes late. She was so embarrassed because everyone was looking at her. She was understand because one of the rules written in their guidebook was about punctuality. Being 1 minute late is still late. Yuna felt a little guilty about it so she went to her.
Yuna: Im sorry, you were late because of me. (she apologized with her face down)
Gee: (she was surprised and she lift Yuna's shoulder) oh no, no its not your fault, you don't need to aplogize.
Yuna: (was still facing down) Im sorry
Gee: No, please don't, please lift your head up.
But Yuna is still facing down and saying she is sorry.
Gee: ah o-okey, it's okey Yuna apology accepted.
Yuna finally lift her face up. Gee felt guilty because she noticed that Yuna had tears on her eyes so she instinctively wiped it and gave her a smile.
Gee: Thank you very much for the delicious chicken soup and garlic rice.
Yuna was a bit surprised but she didn't said anything and went back to her seat. She sighed because she was hoping something but Yuna is still cold towards her.
From the right side, Maya was observing them and she was so jealous she was glaring at Yuna.
Ms. Kim finally faced them after she had checked their attendance. Then everyone transferred to the next room for their English and chinese language lesson. During their english language class Maya sat beside her along with her friends so she was able to get new names but she can't remember them correctly. Ms. Geronimo was very impressed to Gee's english language skill when she asked them to introduce their selves. Even her fellow trainees were impressed. She said that she's bad at other subjects but English was her most favorite subjects during her schooling days.
After their language training, they had their voice lessons with Ms Geronimo. There were only 5 of them who passed the first vocal test by Ms. Geronimo, 2 females and 3 males including her. They had their quick break. They were all in the cafeteria and everyone was chatting while she was relaxed and eating fast while standing. She finished first and went outside the cafeteria.
It was already time and most of her fellow trainees were not able to finished their lunch. Only 5 people were already inside the voice lesson room. 25 of the trainees were 10-157 minutes late and they were lectured by Ms. Geronimo then they resumed.
After the voice lesson training they came to their choreography lessons with Senior Kite. Senior Kite doesn't want to be called Mr. Kite so he just want them to call him senior Kite. He showed them a dance routine and he asked them if they can do it. Everyone got worried but there was a guy in black shirt who stood up and performed the dance routine Kite showed. He was able to do it. Then she stood up and she was also able to do it. Kite applauded them.
It was already 7:00 pm when they finished their training with Mr. Kite. Ms. Kim and Ms. Geronimo were also present.
They were all sitting on the floor.
Ms. Kim: Before we end our training for today. Im expecting everyone that you were able to get to know each other as a we gave it to you as an assignment.
Most of the trainees were confident except for Gee, Yuna and the guy who was able to do the dance routine showed by Senior Kite.
So the recitation begun. Theybwere able to give 6-10 names of their co-trainees except for Yuna who was able to tell her name and how she was good in english language and how was able to be in a dance group when she was 7 and the guy who ranked first in their choreography lesson, she was also give 5 names.
The guy who ranked first in the choreography lesson was able to give Gee's name but only how she ranked in both the vocal and choreography lessons. When it was her turn. She was able to give Yuna's name and how good she was in cooking . The guy who ranked first in the choreography lesson but she got his name wrong, instead of Leo she said Leon and Maya whom she met first on their first day. Ms. Kim was a bit disappointed at the two of them and everyone. She heard someone said that they're good with vocals and choreography but bad in socializing. So she raised her hand and she stood up when Ms. Geronimo permitted her.
Gee: Im aplogizing on behalf of Leon if we disappointed you.
Leo: Its Leo
Gee: ah yes Leo, because we were not able to spend time with others because we finished our lunchbreak due to the limited time we have so that we will make it in time in our training. I believe it s more genuine and will have a permanent spot in our memory if we will be able to remember them based from their talent, skills and their personality as we spend time with each other during our training days.
Leo: I agree with him. (he bowed in apology)
Ms. Geronimo and Kite also showed that she has a point. Ms. Kim smiled.
Ms. Kim: What's your name?
Gee: Ah Gee ma'am
Ms. Kim: Im so disappointed in you
Gee: Ah? (she was puzzled)
Ms. Kim: You are a spoiler.
Gee: Maam?
Ms. Kim went to her and she hold her in her shoulders.
Ms.Kim: I never thought that someone will stand up and be able to realized what was the most important thing in getting to know a person. As she said it right. We promote a family bond between our talents and even between our trainees. I do not want to spill it but he already did. (she said smiling)
Gee: ah hehe , guess im sorry again? Hehehe ( was surprised and she awkwardly smiled to her and everyone scratching her neck)
Yuna and Maya were impressed even senior Kite and Ms. Geronimo.
They were dismissed. Maya tried to approach her but Leo came first.
Leo: Hey bro! (raised his hand)
Gee: Hey (she smiled and hit Leo's palm)
Leo: good thing you came up with that idea earlier.
Gee: ah that? Actually its really hard for me to remember names and I prefer genuine bonds rather than small talks to get to know a person.
Leo: well yeah your right. Anyways you saved me there (he smiled) thanks
Gee: That's nothing. (she smiled)
From a distance, while Gee and Leo were talking. Yibo just arrived and he is on his way to his unit located at the 7th floor on the beside the building of their training and dorm building but connected by the elevator. He saw Gee was talking to a guy. When he got near them Gee noticed and Gee got very excited.
Gee: ah dude gotta go, nice meeting you Leon. (then she ran towards Yibo)
Leo: hey its Leo (he shouted)
Gee: Senior Yibo! (she was calling his name)
Yibo gave him a look but he ignored her.
Gee: aish! Senior Yibo! Wait! (she walked fast so she can ride the elevator) haha good thing your bodyguards aren't with you?
Yibo: they went home already.
Gee: ah I see, but its already 8:00 pm why are you still here?
Yibo: (he looked at her with a little shock)
Gee: ?
Yibo: None of your business..
Gee: aish don't say that, of course its my business now, I'll worry about you of course. You're one of our trainers and your just alone here and its already nighttime, what if someone else saw you instead of me or one of your stalkers was following you and just suddenly approached and harass you or something.
Yibo got irritated.
Yibo: None resident will not be able to get inside this building.
Gee: None resident, oh yeah I guess your right.
Gee: eeeeeh?? None resident? You mean you live here???
Yibo just ignored her.
Gee: for real?
They reached the 5th floor. Yibo opened the door.
Yibo: Go and sleep early. (He said it while pushing her outside the elevator but Gee was fighting)
Gee: w-wait, what floor are you??
Yibo: You'll get suspended if you go there.
Gee: ha? Wait
Yibo: someone's waiting for you
Gee: huh? (she turned her head and she saw Yuna with Mr. Zhang)
Gee: ah (when she looked back at Yibo)
The door was already closed.
Gee: aish (she pouted )
She was kicking the floor while walking towards their unit.
Yibo remembered the scene of Gee talking to a guy and they seemed close. He smirked out of irritation.
Gee saw Mr. Zhang and Yuna entered their unit so she knocked on the door.
Mr. Zhang opened it and he gave her a warm welcome by putting his arms on her shoulders. She was puzzled and she got worried because she saw Yuna was irritated so she removed Mr. Zhang's arms.
Mr. Zhang: oh im sorry. By the way, I came here to congratulate you on your training today. You did great!
Gee: ah thank you Mr. Zhang ah by the way I just want to ask if how much should I pay for my share for the food? Im so sorry I didn't asked about it. I planned to eat outside for this week –
Mr. Zhang: Oh no, you don't have to worry about that. Yuna likes to cook so I asked her if she can share her dishes with you.
Gee: ah no Mr. Zhang, I can manage my own. Yuna's cooking was terrific I might always crave for it but I don't want to burden her.
Mr. Zhang: No its okey.
Gee: (she looked at Yuna who is quiet in the kitchen preparing their dinner) No Mr. Zhang, you have helped me a lot.
Mr. Zhang: Okey, if you insist.
Yuna: Im already set to prepare food for two people and he bought a lot for the two of us, its aligned for the training's healthy diet program. You'll waste yourself if you just eat anything from the convenient store.
Gee: (she smiled upon hearing it from Yuna) ah thank you, thank you very much! (she bowed to Yuna)
Yuna was surprised but she just ignored it and gave her the knife and the bowl of beans.
Gee happily accepted it and she started to wash and chop it.
Mr. Zhang: Just in case you forgot Im still here.
But the two were busy.
Mr. Zhang: ah right, then I guess I have to go. Well see you two this Friday for your vocal training.
Gee: ( finally looked at him) are you coming on our training with Sean Zhang?
Mr. Zhang: Ah ye-yeah I might pay a visit.
Then Gee went back on chopping thr beans.
Yuna: (looked at him with a question on her face asking but without sounds) You didn't told her ?
Mr. Zhang shook his head in response.
Mr. Zhang: anyways I really have to go. Goodnight. Hey Gee look after my sister if anyone tries to make a move on her. (he said heading to the door)
Gee: oh sure mr. Zhang leave it to me (she smiled) thank you for visiting us.
Yuna was already frying the tuna in olive oil.
Gee has closed her eyes to smell the fragrance. Yuna looked at her and she smiled.
