The Reason? - Yoon Jeonghan

Chapter 21

"We have a shooting today, and then practise until late." Joshua said as the boys packed their bags with the food Ophely had prepared the day before. "We probably won't be there for dinner."

"It's okay, if tomorrow is as full as today, please tell me so I'll make you all lunch too." Ophely answered. They were the only ones left in the kitchen, the other Seventeen members running around the dorm getting ready and packing their bags for the day. "I'll be at the dance studio by noon, so if I change with Jeonghan, you'll find me there."

"That's alright, I think in about six hours we'll be there." Joshua smiled and bid her goodbye, being the only one left in the apartment.

Ophely really hoped that she would be able to learn the choreography for the boy's new upcoming release, however, she wasn't the best dancer around and the boy's schedule was already filled to the brim. But until then, Ophely was going to study and do her homework for school, make herself lunch and pre-prepare dinner for later that day.

And what Ophely meant by that is a whole morning of boredom. Wake up early, follow lessons early, do the homework in the middle of the morning, and then start getting her lunch ready and starting to prepare dinner. At the same time she managed to talk with her best friend who was binge-watching a series at half three in the morning (French time zone). She would have to talk to her parents in the evening after practising the dance.

Lunch came quickly with Ophely eating her meal all the while finishing up dinner and putting it in boxes to put in the fridge. It always made her current life more pleasant to work in her own body, with a sense of familiarity.

Her phone in her pocket indicated a message being received, announcing the arrival of one of the Seventeen managers waiting for her at the entrance of the building downstairs. She picked up her belongings that she would need that afternoon and made her way to the front door putting her shoes on and leaving the dorm while making sure to close the door behind her.

Her bag rested against her back as she rode the elevator down, her phone in hand and an answer being written out for the manager. She wasn't wearing anything fancy, not that she had any sophisticated clothes in her closet, comfortable in her joggers, normal t-shirt and baggy sweater. This was how it had been for the previous days with the busier than ever boys. Waking up with them and making sure jeonghan had the most time in his own skin as possible, having half of the day to herself and then the afternoon spending time at the company practising in both bodies. So workout clothes were what was needed, trainers on her feet and her hair in a high ponytail; cap on her head and mask covering her face.

Once downstairs Ophely searched for the manager at the front of the building and followed the man once she saw him waving her over beside the usual car she used.

The ride followed in silence, Ophely messaging the boys' group chat to tell them that she was nearly at the studio.

It was boring, nobody could deny it. Waiting in an empty dance studio with no one else but you for company. But Ophely had nothing else to do. With her laptop on her knees, she worked on her school work, communicating with her friends for details about some things that they might have learned during the class. At least, with those that were still awake at half past five in the morning (Hint - Amélia) because they had a party on a Tuesday night and she hadn't slept at all.

The only thing she could hear in the room for some time was her typing on the keyboard and her spoon hitting the sides of her lunch box.
