The sight made me smile for no reason.
Dalkak-!
While I was silently stretching with Gary, another trainee appeared.
Tteokbokki coat and beanie.
Like Gary, he looked like a pretty boy, but the feeling was different.
While Gary had a warm spring, it was a chilly winter over there, and unlike the calm and neat Gary, he had the impression of an arrogant prince.
It was a face that was so impressive that I remembered it even when we had dinner yesterday.
He's turning eighteen next year.
I said hello to him, who came in wearing earphones, but all I got in return was a nod of his head.
As I blinked, Gary whispered.
"He's always like that."
"I see."
He is similar in height to Gary, in the early 170s, but his proportions are good.
Slender body and intelligent face.
The guy who was leaning against the wall and quietly listening to music turned his head briefly when he saw my gaze, but then ignored it.
While al the time I was practicing on the practice room, Sunny didn't say single words to me.
But...
The conversation with Sunny happened when I went out into the hallway where the water purifier was to quench my thirst.
"Hey."
When I turn my head, I see sharp eyes.
I smiled back.
"My name is not 'Hey', it's Raj, Raj Morningstar."
"Ah."
"If it's awkward and you have a hard time saying my name, it's okay."
I said With a gentle smile and soft voice.
In my experience, people who seem to have this kind of personality need to be soft in their tone of voice and strong in their content.
Otherwise it won't work.
"You said, your name is Raj, right?"
He looked like he was very reluctant to speak.
"I want to tell you something, do you have time?"
"What?"
"There's something I couldn't say yesterday because I didn't have time."
As I blew open the paper cup and poured water into it, I nodded to the other person as if asking them to speak.
Black eyes stared at me.
"You said yesterday that you, gave up being a trainee because of your dancing skills."
"… … ."
What's wrong with this guy? Why is asking me about that?
"I'm sorry, but I'm not smart. I don't understand what you want to say."
"therefore…"
Sunny's answer was delayed, perhaps because he was struggling to find the right word.
"I means don't give up."
"Oh yeah?"
"If you are going to give up midway or leave suddenly, just ask to leave now. For everyone sake"
At this point, I get curious.
What was the inside story of two years ago when two trainees left and their debut was canceled? What made one person nervous and the other full of caution?
Or is it because it was strange that I said yesterday that I gave up on being Idol because of my dancing?
Hearing him' say, "For everyone's sake," it seems that the camaraderie between trainees is not a bad thing.
Sunny pointed with his chin at Gary beyond the practice room window.
"I don't know about you yet, but Gary is stuck in the practice room for over 13 hours a day. The other members are similar."
I listened to the story in silence.
"Up until now, I've only focused on debuting, but if something goes wrong this time, I really don't know what will happen."
"So if you're going to give up, give up now?"
"yes."
I nodded willingly.
"Okay."
"Yes?"
"I'm giving up now."
An absurd expression passed across Sunny's face.
"I beg your pardon?"
"Your right, If you're going to give up halfway, give up."
Sunny expression became urgent when he saw me answering calmly and muttering, 'Should I pack my bags now?'
"No. That's not what I mean is-"
"What I'm saying is that you don't want me to give up. is not it?"
Sunny seemed speechless and could not reply, but then nodded.
I smiled.
How much experience do I have in fighting?
I survived among over 100 other trainees, and this wasn't even a funny situation.
Of course, the person concerned may have said this because he was worried about his older brothers or younger siblings.
"So you're saying I hope you don't give up and work hard?"
"… Yes."
"Okay, I'll work hard. Please take care of me in the future."
When I smiled and held out my hand, Sunny suddenly took my hand.
"Then I'll go in first."
Sunny blinked and tilted his head. It looks like it's dried, but I'm not sure where it dried.
by the way. The friendship between them is amazing.
Seeing two people say the same thing, it seemed like they were taking very good care of each other.
what. I can't help it because I still feel like an outsider.
Still, I feel a little discouraged when I hear people say out loud, 'Don't hurt us in the future.'
But what can I do?
I couldn't help it since we hadn't known each other long enough to build trust yet.
It's something that can be resolved if you don't rush and just focus on your debut.
I smiled at Sunny and returned to the practice room.
"What did you talk about with Sunny?"
"huh?"
"Your expression looks a little serious."
"It's just not that big of a deal."
Gary expression seemed to be revealed for a moment as he looked at me and smiled as if he knew what was going on.
"Sunny is a bit clumsy in interpersonal relationships. He sometimes misunderstands what he says, so please understand."
"no. He was kind and nice, but…"
Sunnylaughed when I said that he was kind and nice.
Sunny, who came back in, passed me by like the wind and took a seat next to Gary.
The wary gaze still remained.
It feels like I brought home a stray cat.
While I was thinking about that, the time gradually got closer and closer to around 9 o'clock, when the lesson started.
10 minutes before starting.
I opened the door wide and saw someone coming in.
"Brothers! "I'm here!"
The one who shouted loudly like a newborn baby was the youngest of the trainees.
Avi Pandey.
He was a guy I remembered because he had a unique way of speaking.
