"Chae?"

I blinked multiple times and turned my head towards the door where Geonu and Jungwon were standing. I rubbed my eyes and realized how dry they were, "Were you zoning out on that wall the whole time?"

I frowned, "I suppose so." The two boys sat down on my bed, "What? What happened?"

Jungwon seemed scared, "I may have told the others about your anxiety?"

"Oh is that it?" I asked. At this point I didn't mind. I'll be spending months with these boys so I have to tell them eventually.

"And they were discussing about whether to give back your part to Heeseung." Geonu whispered.

I sighed, "I knew it. They think I can't do it." I muttered.

Jungwon put his hand on my back, "No, no, we haven't decided yet. You're still center."

Geonu grinned, "Jungwon defended you too. I didn't think he was so passionate."

"Because it's wrong that they're judging her capabilities because of her anxiety even though they saw how good she performs." Jungwon argued.

I laughed at their small bickering, "Well thank you both. I'm just- I'm leading practice. I didn't have a slight idea that we'd have a moving stage that complicated. We just started getting in sync. I don't think there's a hope we'll get a good score." I said miserably.

Geonu ruffled my hair, "Come on Chae. Don't think like that. We can do it. You're an amazing leader."

I glanced at the door, "The others don't seem to think so."

"That's because they're worried about you." Jungwon said. I raised my eyebrow, "Okay- well and also they think that it'll interfere with your performance."

I subconsciously leaned my head on Jungwon's shoulder, "Won't it? I barely survived Rain's evaluation."

"You won't overcome your anxiety over night."

I glared at him, "It's been a good 4-5 years. I think that's long enough."

"I honestly think you held it together pretty well." Jungwon pointed out.

Geonu started laughing which made me and Jungwon look at him funny, "Hyung- are you okay?" Jungwon asked.

Geonu started wheezing, "No- it's just- you two- adorable!" Then he fell off the bed, "AGH! Owww I think I hit my funny bone."

I looked at Jungwon then Geonu, "Should we help him?"

Jungwon pouted, "It is the morally right thing to do."

I sighed and looked over the side of the bed where Geonu glared at me, "You okay?"

Geonu got up, holding his elbow, "No thanks to you. But what I was gonna say was you guys known each other for four days and you're already hugging."

I shrugged, "Jungwon just makes me feel comfortable."

Jungwon did a finger gun at me and then winked or tried to. I didn't know how to react, "Jungwon- what the-" All of a sudden I felt flustered. No one has ever winked at me.

I fell backwards on the bed and covered myself with the pillow, "Meanies." I muttered while the two boys laughed at me.

"Hyung she looks cute right?" Jungwon asked innocently. Before Geonu answered I smacked Jungwon with a pillow.

Geonu laughed, "Damn if that wasn't a friend zone I don't know what is."

I sat up and fixed my hair, "I'm going to cry, I swear."
