Episode 7: Together is Better (part 3)
Arin was staring into space, recalling the incident that occurred yesterday.
Hanbin buried his face on he shoulder making Arin flinch as she felt his lips move against her neck, "Please... just let me be like this for a minute..."
She could still remember the way his arm were tightly wrapped around her waist. She didn't even feel uncomfortable in the moment. She actually felt really safe in his arms. And the way he would rub his face in the crook of her neck...
She almost lost control in the laundry room.
"Arin nim... Arin nim?"
Arin looked up to see PH-1 sitting next to her.
"Are you feeling okay?", he pointed to her face, "Your face is red"
Her eyes widened as she placed her hands on her cheek.
"Anyway, are you excited for the performances?", PH-1 leaned back on his chair with his hands in his pockets, "I feel like the trainees all improved a lot"
Arin nodded, agreeing with his statement. "Honestly I'm both worried but excited. Hopefully everyone does well"
One by one all the masters came in, taking their seats.
Okay Arin. Let's just focus now.

"Jall bwa bwa ilreon gibeun eul nuekkindamyeon naegae bbajingoya~"
Her heart skipped a beat.
Arin got captivated by Taerae's angelic voice. The lights shone brightly behind him, making him look angelic. Meanwhile his eyes towards the audience sparkled as his smiled while singing.
Was Taerae always this good looking?
"Ahh the way he smiles is so pretty"
Arin muttered under her breath, "It really is"
PH-1 looked towards Arin and let out a small laugh. Arin got flustered as she felt his gaze towards her and cleared her throat while sitting up straight.

Arin felt goosebumps as she watched the stage.
Right now the 'Limousine' team was performing and they were rapping the lyrics they wrote on their own.
The lyrics were presented in the background as the boys rapped about their emotions in being a trainee.
Although all three of them were amazing Arin couldn't help but be mesmerised by the way Jihoon rapped.
The way he delivered his line, she could feel his emotions shooting right at her. His stage mannerism suited the song and his flow as just out of this world.
She could feel tears welling up in her eye as she got immersed by his words.
He must've been struggling a lot internally...
Every trainee here must be having a hard time right now...
She wiped under her eye while sniffling. I better do my best to help them get through this

"Michin cheok iya mallhae what's the loss to me?"
Blood immediately rushed through her cheeks as she saw Hanbin walking slowly towards the camera.
The camera just captured his charismatic attitude on stage and not to mention his attire was a complete 180 from his normal self.
Not only that, she thought she was going to go insane after seeing the joy Zhanghao had while performing this song.
She couldn't help but be drawn by him, every time he was on camera as the lights captured his soft but sharp features.
Her heart felt like it was going to explode.
This... definitely was NOT a good sign for her.
I think I'm going to lose my mind...

Taerae was walking along the hallway with Junhyeon and Gunwook, conversing to each other about random things.
"I swear that's the reason why I slept on the couch yesterday! I just couldn't sleep"
Meanwhile Arin came out of her room wearing an oversized hoodie because she was bored.
Whenever performances finish, the masters don't have anything for 3 days. It's mainly because the producers wanted the trainees to at least have a day out of the dorms this week as a way to clear their heads.
She noticed the three trainees from afar and she smiled as she rushed up to them.
"Taerae!"
The boys turned around to see Arin running towards them like a child who just saw their favourite candy shop.
Taerae bowed slightly towards her, "Hello Arin masternim"
Her eyes widened at how low his voice was. I'm going to be jealous of the people who hear this in a daily basis.
She flinched slightly as she noticed the gaze of the other two trainees as well.
Arin chucked them a smile, "Hey Gunwook and Junhyeon~ You guys did SO well on your performances today. You have no idea how many times I got goosebumps because of you all"
She rubbed both her arms as the three boys laughed.
"How did you guys feel? The crowd seemed so supportive"
Gunwook nodded, "It was genuinely amazing", he placed his hand on his chest while continuing, "I could still feel the adrenaline from their scream"
"Yeah and it was really touching to see the fans banners for us." Junhyeon sniffed and wiped under his eye playfully, "It finally feels like my hard work is paying off"
Arin smiled and looked towards Taerae, "What about you Taerae? I could see through the screen how your eyes sparkled when you saw the audience"
He rubbed the back of his neck, answering, "I think this performance is going to be one I'm going to remember forever. I just wanted to capture the fans excitement that I didn't even think about looking at the camera"
"But that's what made it so good. You looked so good on camera. It was refreshing to see someone getting captivated by fans", Arin nudged his arm playfully, "I feel like it's going to be an iconic moment for Boys Planet"
He smiled, flattered by the compliment she gave him.
"Well! I'm going to run. Don't stay up too late you guys, your condition is key"
Arin waved to the boys while making her way to the lounge.
Gunwook placed his hand on Taerae's shoulder. "I feel like your stage made a big impression on Arin masternim"
"Really? I don't know.."
Junhyeon scoffed, "Are you kidding me? She legit pointed you out and complimented you separately."
Gunwook wiggled his eyebrows, "OooOoo is this the moment where Taerae becomes Arin masternim's number one pick~?"
Taerae got shy and pushed the guys softly, "Ahh stop it guys. It's nothing like that"

A/N: Arin's reactions in this chapter were literally my reactions.
I rewatched episode 7 to write this chapter and OMG I legit felt butterflies in my stomach the moment I saw Taerae's performance again.
Like I knew he was good but I didn't know how angelic he looked in that moment.
Ahhhh! Ded.
Anyway~ Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter
Much Love xoxo Muah!
