Chapter Two: Ae Yeon (1/2)
"You know that Ryugi is going to take longer than twenty minutes, right?" Ki Yeon announces as soon as the leader walks out.
"With both Ryugi and GD recording, I'll be surprised if they do end up finishing." Madison comments.
"The two won't leave until somebody practically forces them out. Which is why Seunghyun went along with them." Young Bae tells them. "As well as recording it for them."
Ae Yeon smiles, what they were saying was true. Ryugi Unni and Jiyong Oppa were always pushing for perfection. Ae Yeon always thought it was a leadership trait, but after talking to Minzy about it, it was just those two. CL was a bit more chill than the other two. It was probably a trait Ryugi picked up from Jiyong-Oppa.
"Why don't you guys just go through it with out her. Show us what you got." Tae Jun takes a seat in front of the mirrors, Hyung Seok following suit.
"Tae Jun Oppa! You should take Ryugi's spot!" Ki Yeon suggests.
"Ha. I don't think Tae Jun has the skill nor the talent to do it." Madison tells her friend.
"I do too!" Tae Jun jumps up, his pride slightly hurting
"Alright, You know how to do it?" Madison teases.
He just gives her a look, she raises her hands in an 'I'm innocent' like way.
"Let's get started" Hyung Seok calls out, grabbing the remote to turn on the stereo.
"WAIT! Am I singing Ryugi's parts too?"
"Good luck with that Oppa." Was Madison's reply. Hyung Seok turns on the music and the girls (Plus Tae Jun) take their places.

"Yeonnie, your steps are off." Hyung Seok pauses the music.
"But of course, I was brilliant." Tae Jun interjects proudly.
"Minus the fact that Ryugi starts on her left foot. You started on your right." Hae Won points out.
"Nobody is going to notice." He brushes off.
"Why don't you ask TOP hyung about that." Youngbae adds in. "Not to mention that you lack the RPG vibe."
"Embrace the RPG." Madison jokes. Tae Jun takes a deep breath and crosses his arms across his chest.
"Maddy, the way you are standing suggests that you are anxious and want to finish this, but Hae Won's stature suggests that she just wants to have fun. And Hyung Seok, you need to calm down a bit. Your shoulders are tense, which results in you becoming more stressed and leading to you getting frustrated easily. And Chara, wipe that look off of your face, that is just rude." The girls laugh. Tae Jun stands triumphal, with Young bae chuckling next to a smiling Chara and an annoyed Hyung Seok. It was a pretty accurate impersonation of Ryugi, with exaggeration.
"Alright. Let's try it again girls."

In the recording room, Seunghyun goes over the latest recording, Jiyong watching what he does over his shoulder, offering suggestions here and there. While Ryugi is sprawled on the couch, with her eyes closed, much like she was dozing off.
"Oh, god, no. That try was even worse." She tells Jiyong and Seunghyun when they finally play the recording.
"We can always combine the multiple takes you two have done." Seunghyun suggests.
"No, it would sound better if we could get it right in all one shot. Ryugi has it in her." Jiyong guestures towards the mess sprawled out on the couch.
"Oppa, Hyung Seok is going to get mad if I am gone for too long. Let's do one more take. This time, try to not screw up." A cheeky grin appears on her face.
