Chapter 9 - YOU'RE CONFUSING

After their quick lunchbreak, they all went back to the dance room. Yuna was still alone but Gee and Leo went back together. When they saw Yuna on the left side near the wall they looked at each other and nodded. They sat beside Yuna, their order was, Yuna near the wall, Gee and Leo. Yuna looked at her and Gee gave her smile but as usual Yuna didn't smiled back but she just shrugged and smiled. After a minute, Kite entered the room.

Kite: Everyone, I would like to ask all of you to please refrain from doing things that will distract or bother your choreography trainer today.

Everyone got excited but still they are trying to keep their excitement specially the girls.

Gee's eyes were wide opened and was so surprised when she saw a the person she wasn't expecting that day. She was smiling so wide.

Kite: Your trainer for today is none other than Yang Yibo. Before his debut, he has won several dancing competition and has been studying different style of dancing. He is the most talented dancer I have ever met among the idols that I have been training and he has been one of the trainers of AMPM ENT China for 2 years.

Everyone was so amazed.

Yang Yibo: (he felt shy as he was bowing as Kite introduced him.) Thank you. Hi everyone.

Gee was so ecstatic, it's the first time he saw him in black shirt and black sweat pants wearing a black cap and without make-up.

Gee: I didn't thought he would look more handsome in person with bare faced. (she was smiling with eyes sparkling)

Leo: (he was puzzled) I thought you were friends? How come you seem like its your first time seeing him?

Gee: it's the first time I saw him in this daylight. The first I saw him without make-up was after our race and it was kind of dark and his hair was covering his face.

Leo: how long have you been friends with him?

Gee: (she's counting on her fingers) 1 week?

Leo: what? (he was so confused and was shaking his head) your weird.

Yibo: after our warm up, I want you to get your numbers on that table and please put it on for our dance activity today. (then he bowed)

Leo: he seems more serious in personal. He so different when his hosting and on those behind the scenes and their group's vlogs.

Gee: yeah, and I think it's a proof that he really is something that he is one of the trainers. Im so looking forward to it. (she smiled with excitement and thilled)

The 10 female trainees were all lined up and the 20 male trainees too including Gee. She got the number 21 and Leo was 22.

Gee: (was very happy like a child as she was showing his number to Leo) haha this is my favorite number and the same number when I auditioned you know (it fell a little)

Leo: lucky for you (he was pressing Gee's chest so the number would stick perfectly)

Gee: (smiled and pressed it too) thanks man

Yibo: (his eyes got wide open upon seeing them. He went to her and she grabbed Gee's hands then they walked outside) excuse me

Everyone was surprised and confused as they walk outside even Gee was surprised and confused.

Gee: ah senior Yibo wait

Yibo: (he let go of her hands and he took a deep breath) are you out of your mind?

Gee: huh?

Yibo: (he pressed Gee's chest right on the number, he was kind of shocked) nothing? (he thought)

Gee: (she presses it too) thanks, hm maybe I should pin it, it keeps on falling.

Yibo: (surprised and getting mad) you- why are you?- (he stopped and just released a deep breath and walked inside)

Gee: huh? Hey senior Yibo, why did you have to take me outside if your just concerned about my number, but you were kind of ignoring me you know, your confusing me (she said while following him)

Yibo: (turned his back and faced her) don't just let any guys touch you even if you're flat (then he turned back and continued walking and he went inside the dance room)

Gee: (touches her chest) but im wearing a chest binder (she pouted and went inside)

Yibo: please line up everybody (he said seriously)

Girl trainee in braid hair in front: senior Yibo even if your close with Gee you should treat us fairly okey? (she smiled and acting cute)

Yibo (didn't even look at her) I don't have any time for that so you better prove why you got here same as with him

The girl was shocked and she seemed a little pissed.

Yibo: we will play a random kjcpop songs for 20 minutes, which you have to dance or sing along with it. Our staff will record how long you can stand and how many dance and song you can remember, and the 3 persons with the highest number of scores will get to choose their piece for this week's individual assessment and the rest will have to pick from that box.

Upon hearing it, some of them got nervous and some were excited and confident. Gee and Leo shake their hands.

Gee and Leo: lets do our best! (they both smiled and laughed when they said the same thing simultaneously) hahaha

Yibo's eyebrows wrinkled when he saw the them, good thing he was wearing a cap but Yuna noticed as she was observing Yibo since he grabbed Gee's hands and went outside.

Yibo: Me and Kite will still observe how you dance even if you make it to top 3 or not and it will be the 75% of your ranking result for today.

The random dance challenge begins…

It was from a girl group, almost all the girls were able to dance but some of the males knows the song including Leo and Gee, they were laughing while dancing. Though it's a girl dance they still dance to it as guys but the others were imitating how the girls are dancing to it.

Next was from a boy group. It was the boys turn but some girls know it too including Yuna but they still dance like girls.

Next was from a boy group again and 5 girls backed out from the dance 2 boys. Leo and Gee were having fun dancing and singing to it.

Next was from a girl group again. Then the random dance challenge goes on. Gee and Leo were having lots of fun while they were dancing even though they didn't know some of the songs but they still dance inventing their own moves but still in a tune. Gee was able to copy the dance move Leo was teaching her. It got Yibo's attention. He was slowly being consumed by how Gee dances. Even if the songs and the dance to it is meant for girls, she still dances to it like a guy. She doesn't even acting cute like most of the girls does. Yibo thinks she looks like a cool guy, a real guy with her moves. He was even impressed when she was able to copy Leo's dance moves. Kite noticed that he was just focusing on the two.

Kite: ( tapped him on his shoulder and he whispered) I know they are good but you still have to observe everyone.

Yibo: (was a little startled and seemed he woke up from something) sorry

Gee was not looking at Yibo at all during the random dance exercise. She was focusing and enjoying all the dance, but when the music stopped. Everyone was kind of tired but some of them where smiling including her and Leo. As soon as she was able to caught from her breath she stood up straight and put her hands on her waist but still breathing heavily, when she caught Yibo's look, she gave her a very wide smile and a thumbs up and she started to clap then Leo followed then everyone.

Yibo gave her a smile that he looked like he was impressed by her and he also followed the clap.

Gee was surprised because it was the first time Yibo gave her that brightest smile ever since they met so she gave a wider smile and Yibo returned another smile like he was saying she did a great job they were smiling at each other when Kite handed him a board.

Yibo smiled a again when he saw 21 has 12/18 points and ranked 2nd, 22 has 14/18 ranked 1st and 7 which is Yuna's number got 10/18 ranked 3rd, but he whispered something to Kite.

Yibo: before we announce the top 3, lets give them another test. Whoever can follow the dance moves im going to show them will get a reward from us. We will treat them something tonight.

Kite: not bad

They nodded to each other.

Kite announced it and everyone got excited but some seemed to lose hope already.

So the music started, it was Yibo's "Light" he collaborated with Kite in making the dance choreography for it but it still not releases yet, they are supposed to shoot its music video within the month.

Everyone were amazed at how Yibo dances, even the male trainees. Gee was focusing on the dance moves, she was trying to do with little moves while seating. After Yibo danced the chorus part, he asked the staff to replay it and Kite danced along with him, they were synchronized and everyone were mouth open while they are dancing. Gee felt so much excitement while she was watching them and she was nodding her head.

Yibo: we will play the music from the beginning, and everyone is free to join in the chorus.

Then the music started. Gee and the other male trainees including Leo stood up and were getting in the flow of the music. Yibo was smirking while he is dancing and when he looked at Gee on the chorus part, his smile widened when Gee was able to sync with him, Leo and 2 other male trainees were able to join too, the female trainee with braid hair tried to join but she failed and went back being disappointed at herself.

When the dance challenge was over, Yibo and Gee did a high five. Leo and Gee too, they all did a high five to each other.

Yibo: (in his thoughts while looking at Gee who is very happy) such a confusing person, if didn't discovered she was a girl, I would have thought that she was really a guy.

While Yibo was staring at Gee, he suddenly remembered a memory of a person he saw before , a girl in short blonde hair and black cap was very happy riding a bike with his friend , they just came from a race. The boyish girl was very happy her smile was radiating in the night. He also remembered her after their race, she was smiling widely though she was catching her breath. His picture of that girl was slowly becoming Gee in his mind. Kite suddenly appeared from his back.

Kite: lets announce the winners now

Yibo: (felt like he woke up from a dream) ah yeah sure

Gee and the rest went back to their seats on the floor, she was still smiling at Yibo but Yibo just gave him a nod.

Yibo: I'll read the names of the top 3 with their scores.

When Gee heard Yuna's name, she was surprised and she look at her and gave her thumbs up with a wide smile, Yuna gave her a nod and a little smile. She felt a little happy because it's the first time Yuna did it to her. When he she heard her name, she couldn't believe it. Yibo was smiling and clapping his hand looking at her, she was bowing to everyone.

Gee: thank you thank you

Then, Leo was the top 1. Gee was very happy too for Leo they gave each other high five and Leo bro hugged her and gave another high five. Yibo was surprised but not Gee. It made him feel a little irritated his eyebrows crossed and he put his cap down a little more. Yuna noticed it.

After the announcement, Kite asked Leo and Gee who topped the dance challenge about the food they want to eat later as their prize for winning the challenge.

Leo and Gee talked a little about it and they both agreed to have ice cream from the famous Ice cream house near AMPM Ent compound.

Yibo just nodded. Gee noticed that Yibo had lost his mood and she was wondering why looking at him.

They were given a 5 minute toilet break. Gee went to Yibo while he was busy tapping on his phone.

Gee: senior Yibo

Yibo gave him a look but he went back to his phone.

Gee: (handed the bag with the tofu she saved for him) its onion breaded tofu, its my favorite but I saved some for you (she smiled)

Yibo: I don't eat tofu.

Gee: eeeehhh??? (was very shocked) aish what a waste, you are the first person I met here who doesn't eat tofu, you sure don't like it?

Yibo is not saying anything.

Gee: (opened the container and she smelled it) oh well.

Yibo: (gave a glance but he continued tapping on his phone) just gave to someone else.

Gee: oh yeah, Leon and Yuna does like it, since its 3, we can have 1 each haha

When she closed it and was about to stand up, Yibo grabbed her hand and took the bag then he put it on his lap and continued tapping on his phone. Gee was very confused but she laughed.

Gee: you know your confusing haha

Yibo: Meet me at the lobby later after the training.

Gee: oh okey, I'll tell Leo (she smiled)

Yibo: Kite will treat him, we'll go first without them.

Gee: huh? I thought the four of us will go? (she went back sitting beside him)

Yibo: I have a shooting tomorrow morning, I have to go first. (he was tapping on his phone without looking at her)

Gee: ah okey, then I have to tell him and Yuna, they might wait for me.

Yibo: do whatever you please

Gee: thank you (she smiled and stood up to look for Leo and Yuna)

From the corner of the room, Yuna was observing the two of them. She was following Gee when she approached Leo, she turned her eyes to Yibo and she caught him gave a glance to the two. She can't understand but Yibo looks irritated but he seemed to relax when he looked at the bag on his lap.

Yuna: so senior Yibo likes her even though she's a guy? Is he gay or he knows about her true identity? (on her thoughts)

She was asking herself when Gee was on going to her direction.

Gee: ah Yuna, I might be late for dinner because senior Yibo has to go first and he asked me to go with him, just leave the dishes on the sink and I'll wash them when I come back (she smiled)

Yuna: you don't have to.

Gee: ah but-

Yuna: how did you met senior Yibo?

Gee: ah that hehe we met after the r- (she stopped when she suddenly remembered about what Moru told her not to tell anyone about his being a member of their chapter)

Yuna: you like him?

Gee: yeah! He is so cool and talented I really want to be friends with him (her eyes were sparkling)

Yuna: not that, I mean do you l-

Yuna was about to say something but Kite was asking everyone to stand up because the training was about to resume.

Gee offered her hand, she took it to help her stand up. Gee was smiling.

The training resumed, Yibo was giving Gee glimpses during the training but he never went to her because of the braided girl who couldn't learn the move.

After the training, Kite announced the ranking for that day. It was Leo and Gee. Some has reacted to it specially the girl with braided her saying to her friends that Gee was his friend and Leo was Gee's friend. Yibo got irritated. He look at the braided girl with his right hand on his back holding the bag.

Yibo: how many points did you gained from the random dance challenge?

Braided girl: 9 points.

Yibo: he got 12, did you learned the choreography I showed you earlier?

Braided girl: n-no

Yibo: he was able to sync with us, how many times did I have to approach you because you couldn't learn the dance move that I was teaching you? I was not able to went to him because he was learning ahead of you.

Braided girl couldn't say anything more. Everyone were quiet and saying he was right. The braided girl was pissed and she walked out.

Some of the boys were shaking their head out of disappointment.

Gee just shrugged her shoulders with her palms open looking at Leo then Leo was shaking his head while his arms across his chest.

Kite: is there anyone here who has a violent reaction to our ranking for today?

No one was saying something.

Kite: Well then see you tomorrow, but before that lets give thanks to Yibo, he' ll be back next week.

Everone gave them a round of applause then they bowed and said thanks to Kite and Yibo. They returned the bow and gave them claps.

Gee: see you tomorrow, Leon

Leo: hey its Leo

Gee: I think Leon suits you more (she was laughing)

Leo: whatever (he waved bye to her walking his way out) see you tomorrow

Gee waved back then she was looking for Yuna but she saw her walking out already and she sighed. She looked at Yibo but he was walking with Kite. Then she walk her way out. She was walking with her head down when someone called her. She turned to see if its Yuna…
