CHAPTER 17
The remedial evaluation day came… all the trainees, board members and the trainers are all present in the stage room. Yibo is looking at the crowd but he didn't saw the person he was looking for. He turned his look away feeling like something is off.
Meanwhile the remedial group are waiting in the other room Gee is also there cheering up her new friends.
Se Ju: Bro! Thank you so much for all your effort. We will do our best. (he smiled)
Gee gave them a smile but she was trying to keep herself okey but she was feeling dizzy.
Japanese girl: Even if our schedule starts earlier in the morning and finishes later than yours at night, you still exert so much effort in helping us.
Se Ju: yeah, we hope we didn't ruined your schedule but you look-
Gee: im okey, don't worry (she smiled) after this, I'll be able to get back to my routine because we will be in the same schedule
Se Ju: (he smiled) yeah, thanks bro
They bro fist. Then they proceeded to the stage room.
Gee went in through the other door and sat beside Yuna and Leo. When she saw Yibo in front she waves at him but Yibo just gave him a look and tuned it away immediately. She just pouted.
The individual performance started…
Gee was trying to fight her dizzyness while watching the performance. But during the whole event were just blur in her eyes. Leo and Yuna were observing her with worries in their eyes but Gee was just rubbing her eyes several times to keep her self awake.
Then the whole performance was finished. Ms. Kim was saying something but the sounds coming from her mouth are turning to a water like sound to Gee's ears and her vision became blurry and the people were slowly turning into small fragment of lights then suddenly it went all gone. Gee fell almost fell on the floor but Luckily, Leo was able to catch her. Yuna was shouting her name but she can't open her eyes until it totally became black.
Yibo ran fast as he could and grabbed Gee from Leo who was shocked. He glared at him so he let go of her. Yibo put Gee on his back and he stood up.
Yibo: Please proceed with the announcement. He just collapsed due to lack of sleep. Ms. Zhang will come with me in the clinic. (he looked at Yuna)
Yuna nodded.
Leo: Hey, Im coming too.
Yibo just gave him a look saying he can't.
Leo: (gulped) I I'll come with Yuna.
Yibo headed outside followed by Yuna and Leo. Maya ran after them.
Se Ju and the rest got worried and was about to go but Mr. Zhang stopped them.
Mr. Zhang: You can see her later after the result. (he smiled)
At the AMPM Ent's clinic.
Gee was laying on the clinic bed sleeping. Yibo, Leo, Yuna and Maya were listening to the resident physician.
Physician: You don't have to worry about him, he just collapsed due to lack of sleep and over fatigue, but with days of enough sleep and rest with the medication I gave him, he'll be back in just days.
Yuna: (sighed in relief) Thank you doctor.
Yibo was looking at Gee with confusion in his eyes. Suddenly, the remedial group were all gathered at the door headed by Se Ju. He ran inside bending to Gee and was holding it her hands while crying. Yibo and the rest were surprised.
Se Ju: Brooooo! Wake up! I-its me Se Ju, wake up! Don't walk in the light bro!
Leo was shocked he pulled him away outside. They all went outside and Yuna closed the door.
Leo: Why are you acting like he was about to die? He just collapsed due to lack of sleep and over fatigue. He was just sleeping right now.
The remedial group moved away from Se Ju who were embarrassed due to his over acting.
Maya: Let's keep our voices down, we might wake him up.
Yuna: How was the result?
Se Ju and the rest looked away and they became sad. They felt suddenly a depressing atmosphere.
Se Ju: They were able to pass (smiling at the 5 male trainees on his left side near the wall opposite to the clinic's door and to the girl beside the Japanese girl) but we will have to take the third remedial evaluation next week.
Yuna looked down upon hearing the update from Se Ju.
Japanese girl: The trainers even the board members were very honest and kind in telling us about what we lack and things to improve. But they said we have improved though we should train harder (keeping her tears with a smile)
Se Ju: Mr. Zhang told us to do it on our own this time. Though its not bad to get help from someone but we have to think about his health and the fact that he has his own group evaluation coming up this week.
Gee: So what?
Everyone were surprised when Gee was suddenly standing in the door behind them. Yibo was looking at him.
Yuna: Hey Gee, you shouldn't-
Gee: im okey Yuna. (she turn her look to Se Ju)
Se Ju: Bro, im sorry we caused you your health
Gee: don't apologize, I chose to do it, and I will do it anytime for you guys.
Se Ju: its okey bro, thank you for all your help, we will remember all what you have taught us.
Japanese girl: AMPM Ent was kind for giving us another chance though we might f-
Gee: No! don't say that!
Leo, Yuna, Maya and Yibo were all surprised to see Gee who is serious right now, far from the cheerful and childlike Gee they were always seeing. She seemed to become another person.
Se Ju: No its okey bro, we understand what they said, if we can't make it this time, we just have to train harder then.
Gee: No! Your just being negative again!
Yibo: He is not being negative, he's just saying the truth.
Gee looked at Yibo like her eyes were asking why and saying no.
Se Ju: Its okey bro, senior Yibo is right don't worry about us, what you have done for us is already enough (he smiled and put his arms to Gee's shoulder leading him inside) you should rest now.
Yibo was a little surprised following them with look and his eyebrows crossed a little. Yuna noticed it. Yibo was shaking his head and started to walk without a word.
Everyone said their goodbye to Gee and asked her to take a rest including Maya and Leo. Gee and Yuna were left inside the clinic. Gee was looking out without saying a word.
Yuna: Gee, please take a rest. Once your okey, we will start our own practice for the group evaluation.
Gee: (turned her look to her and she smiled) Yeah, im sorry Yuna for making you worry about me.
They smiled at each other.
It was Sunday…
Gee woke up at exactly 6:00 am. She stood up and prepared herself for a jog. Before she went out, she saw a note on the refrigerator from Yuna.
Yuna's note: I just went home, I'll be back tonight. Please take a rest.
She smiled upon reading it then she jogged her way out. She was jogging coming out from the elevator when she saw Yibo coming from the AMPM Ent office building. She smiled when she saw Yibo like nothing happened last night.
Gee: Good morning senior Yibo! (waving and smiling at him)
Gee ran to him. Yibo is looking at her face.
Yibo: You don't look good. Go back to your dorm and sleep.
Gee: Eh? But I had enough sleep already senior Yibo.
Yibo just sighed and continue walking. She pouted and sighed then continue jogging. She was about to head straight when she saw Se Ju, Japanese girl and the other two male trainees were heading to the training building. It made her smile and she jogged towards them.
Gee: hey! Goodmoring! You didn't went home?
They greeted back and were happy to see her.
Se Ju: ah yeah, we just came from the office building and asked for permission if we can use the one of the training rooms.
Gee was happy to hear it she was smiling wide. Yibo is watching them while waiting with his earphone on his ears but he wasn't listening to music, he is waiting for his body guards.
Japanese girl: did you have enough sleep already?
Gee: yeah! Oh you're going to practice right? I don't have anything to do today, can I go join you?
Se Ju: bro, you can't
Gee: huh? Why?
Yibo: Mr. Zhang told them not to let you.
Gee turned to look to Yibo with confusion.
Gee: r-really? He said that? (she turned to Se Ju)
They nodded.
Gee: wh-why?
Se Ju: He is just concerned about you, risking your health and it might affect your group evaluation.
Gee: huh? But- I'll talk to him-
Yibo: stop being stubborn, its not your obligation to help them
Gee was shocked on what she heard and was looking at Yibo who was straight face looking at her.
Gee: but- I know, I overdone myself but I will be careful this time
Se Ju: its okey Gee (he smiled, the tapped him in her shoulders) we'll be heading first
They bowed and walked their way to the training building.
Gee: wait!
Yibo grabbed her on her collar. She almost choked. Gee was just following them with her eyes feeling sad. Yibo was just looking at her with puzzled eyes.
Yibo: stop being stubborn
Then Yibo left her when his body guards came.
Then next day…
Gee woke up early and prepared herself, ate her cereal and took the last energy bar she has from the refrigerator. She sneaked in to the training building. She was watching outside the door and was saddened by how Se Ju and the rest were trying their best in practicing but they all don't have the energy and Se Ju felt frustrated and was trying not to cry. Japanese girl burst to cry leaning on the wall. The scene she was witnessing was like a needle piercing her heart she can't breathe. She took a deep breath and opened the door then she went in. They were surprised.
Se Ju: bro! what are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here, if Mr. Zhang -
Gee: well, he won't know it if no one's going to tell him right? (she's smiling)
They looked at each other and sighed. Then they closed the door but someone grabbed the door handle reopening it.
