It had been a week of practicing for Junho, he was already regarded as a leader and rumors had spread about it thanks to the current top 5, they had liked the feeling of him being in charge as he would always guide them as if he had been here before, well he had been here before as he was in charge of an idol group in his past life for about a year.
"You know you could take a break Hyung."
Sungjae said as he panted after practicing with Junho, he had always been practicing with him ever since and they had gotten closer than before.
"What do I always say?"
"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard but if talent works hard then I can say goodbye to my ranking."
"See even you took it to heart."
"Well everyone here aside from you has to catch up with you I don't know how Jinyoug-hyung does it."
"Oh trust me I sucked at dancing before I asked him to teach me, If you lack something its best if you acknowledge it and ask yourself what do I need to do to improve? I knew then that if my dancing skills wouldn't be up to par I would debut as a soloist instead so I asked Jinyoung to teach me."
"I see where you're going."
"And I taught him how to compose a song, he's one of my friends in the agency that can put up with my attitude."
"What is your attitude anyway?"
"You have to figure it out."
Junho then stood up and pulled Sungjae up as it was time for their weekly evaluations since they had heard the bell ringing signaling their free time to practice or rest was done. As the two of them went out from the room they saw the top five girls entering the main dance room as well.
"Hyung"
"What is it?"
"Do you think I can secretly date one of them?"
"You're still 15 Sungjae but hey if you can do it whose stopping you but be warned of the consequences both of you are on it."
"Why are you scaring me?"
"It's for your own good."
The two entered the room they then saw Jinyoung waving at them.
"So everyone's here all right let's begin our evaluation since the ten of you are the top for this week before we begin to shoot three days from now I will now evaluate if all of you are up to par, let's begin with a roll call."
"Bae Su-ji"
"Here!"
"Center, Choi Yu-na"
"Present."
"Go there, now next Shon Seung-wan you go there, then Son Chae-young and lastly Kim Chung-ha"
The five girls then did what they were told shortly they did their parts to perfection, Kwon Jae-seung felt satisfied it was then until he called for the boys to perform, after a while the two groups had done their parts and now it was time for them to perform together.
"All right this is gonna get tricky now Park Junho and Bae Su-ji, both of you go there."
Everyone followed Jae-seung's instructions and did as he told, today was dedicated for everyone to practice the choreography, as Jae-seung watched them he decided that the two centers would remain as they were the highlights for the dance while the rest would take a break.
"All right you two take a break here for ten minutes I'll be back"
Junho nodded and so did Bae Su-Ji, they were left alone, to Junho this was nothing new since he had been alone with Choo-hyun for countless times but to Bae Su-Ji it was a bit weird since it was her first time.
"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself my name is Bae Su-Ji, I'm 17 and I'm a big fan of you!"
"Nice to meet you, I guess you already know me, please take care of me."
"P-Please take care of M-Me Also!"
Su-Ji bowed politely and so did Junho did in return.
"If you don't mind may I ask where you are from?"
"I'm from Daegu, you?"
"Gwangju, this is awkward isn't it well at least for me I'm not used to being alone."
"You have to get used to it, just imagine the fans every time you perform from now on."
"But this and that are different."
"It depends on how you look at it."
The two began chatting until Jae-seung had returned from his break he began instructing them about the move they'll both perform at the last.
"All right since both of you are the centers of each respective group here's what you'll do, you guys go up to the center platform, and after that make sure your hands do the Pick me symbol but together, like one hand from each of you form the symbol as one, do you got it?"
Junho nodded but Su-Ji was somewhat reluctant since it would be aired and perhaps rumors would fly around but she then looked at Junho once again she then decided not to mind it and instead focus on doing her best to keep her ranking.
The two kept practicing until Jae-seung felt satisfied, they then noticed that everyone had returned and clapped their hands as their performance was good, they were then notified that tomorrow would be their last practice together.
"All right now that everyone's here let's practice once more but Bae Yoon-jeong will take over, I'm out, see you guys tomorrow."
Everyone waved Jae-seung goodbye, since Bae Yoon-jeon didn't arrive yet the group decided to bond and get to know each other for awhile except for Junho, he took his shirt off once more, he did it out of habit as the staff had told him it was allowed since they also knew it would boos their ratings.
"Junho."
Junho looked at Jinyoung and tilted his head it was then he looked at the girls that it finally registered into his head.
"Oh"
He immediately put on his shirt back, the guys didn't say anything but the girls were left speechless and blushing, Junho didn't say anything as he quietly left since he too was ashamed a little bit.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom for awhile."
