Chapter 10 (1/1)

“I’m sorry, seonsaengnim,” Eunmi pouted.  “It’s okay,” Jae Hwa laughed. “You’re still learning, so don’t worry. You haven’t played for a long time, have you?”  “No I haven’t. I’ve been focused on my singing and dancing,” Eunmi answered. “Play it again until you’re sure that you can do it without any mistakes,” Jae Hwa said. Eunmi nodded before starting to play again. After 2 hours, she was able to play the song again and again without any mistakes. She also learned a few more keys and a new song. “That’s an improvement. Come back again next week, okay?” Jae Hwa asked. “Ne,” Eunmi nodded. “Try to practice whenever you can too,” Jae Hwa advised. “Of course,” Eunmi replied. “Thank you!” “You’re so cute,” Jae Hwa laughed, seeing the girl’s aegyo come out naturally. “Thank you,” Eunmi timidly said. “See you again next week, seonsaengnim!” Eunmi left the room and took her phone out of her bag. She saw that it was 6 pm. She decided to head to an empty dance room. She opened the stereo and music filled the room. She began to dance, practicing the routine that she was taught hours ago. She practiced that and started to freestyle after perfecting it. After a few hours, she decided to stop. “So tired,” Eunmi groaned, sitting down at the floor. She decided to call her family. “Hello?” she heard her mom speak. “Eomma,” Eunmi said. “Eunmi-ah, how are you?” her mom asked. “I’m fine. I was just practicing, but I decided to call you,” Eunmi answered. “Are you done for the day?” her dad asked. “Yeah, the other lessons are tomorrow,” Eunmi said. “How was training?” her dad asked concernedly. “Tiring but fun,” Eunmi laughed. “So you’re enjoying yourself?” her dad asked. “Yeah, but I miss you,” Eunmi said, unconsciously pouting. “We miss you too,” she heard her parents say. “What’s your schedule tomorrow?”  Eunmi grabbed a piece of paper from her bag and looked at it. “I have acting, variety and dancing tomorrow. I start in the morning and I’ll head back on the afternoon.” “I see. I’m sorry that it has to be hard,” her dad said. “No, it’s fine. This is my dream, after all. Besides, it’s just for a year,” Eunmi said, trying not to make her parents guilty. “Always so considerate,” her mom laughed. “Take care, okay?” “Of course, you too,” Eunmi said. “Bye,” the two of them said. “Bye, say hi to Donghwa oppa and Hae oppa for me,” Eunmi said. “We will,” her dad replied. Eunmi then hanged up. She fixed her things and turned off the stereo, leaving the practice room. She called her uncle and told him that training was over for the day and he could come pick her up. So she was waiting outside of the SM Building. “Are you waiting for someone?” she heard someone ask. Eunmi turned around and saw her newly-made friends. She smiled, “Yeah, I’m waiting for my uncle.” “Ah, so you have relatives here?” Yunho asked. “Ne, Yunho-ssi,” Eunmi answered. “You can just call us oppa,” Yunho smiled. “Umm…” Eunmi said nervously, not knowing how to answer. “It’s okay, maybe when you’re comfortable with us then,” Jungsoo laughed. “But if you have relatives here, why don’t you just stay here?” Jungsoo asked curiously. “It’s because of school. Next year, I’m staying here in Seoul and continuing my studies here,” Eunmi explained. 'I wonder if they all live here.' “Oh, well most of us live here, but Yunho doesn’t. He comes from the same town as you. Sooyoung doesn’t live in Seoul, but near it,” Jungsoo explained even though she didn't ask. “So you only come here every weekend?” Eunmi asked, focused on Yunho who has the same problem as him. “Yeah,” Yunho laughed. “I guess we’re the same.” “Hey, I’ve been telling you a lot of stuff about me and you don’t even tell me anything about yourself,” Eunmi said, looking at them. Everyone laughed before they started telling her about their family and some basic information. “Unnie, I thought you were shy though,” Sooyoung commented. “I talk when someone’s asking me questions. And I’m only shy at first,” Eunmi said. “When I’m close or comfortable with people, I become talkative.” “So you’re comfortable with us now?” Junsu asked. “I still feel shy, but I guess since you guys are so confident, it lessens it,” Eunmi answered softly.   A car suddenly stopped in front of them and Eunmi fixed her bag. “Is that your uncle?” Hyuk Jae asked. “Yeah, bye guys,” Eunmi said, waving at them as she got on the car. “See you tomorrow,” the others said. Eunmi nodded and got in the car, closing the door. She turned to her relatives and smiled. However, she turned nervous at their curious gazes, wondering what they might ask her.Two updates in a row! Unfortunately, I think that's it. I'll see if I can update any more later, but if I can't then just wait for the next one! I don't know when it'll be because of school, so I hope you wait for me patiently!  Seems like Eunmi is comfortable with her new friends already. But she's still a bit shy. Please comment and subscribe~!
