Not Backing Down

Suyeon walked into the practice room the next morning, casually sipping on a slurpee. Lately, he had been taking the practice sessions more seriously in order to beat Yoona at her own game. He knew very well that if she lost in the competition, she would end up revealing her true face to the world.

He put down his duffel bag when he heard the awfully familiar cheerful voice from behind him.

"Suyeon!" Semin exclaimed, jumping up and down in joy.

"Why are you high on energy this early in the morning?" he frowned. "Did you end up having too much sugar with your kiddie cereal?"

"That was lame!" Semin scowled, lightly slapping him on the arm.

"Hey, don't hit me!" he protested. "I'm older than you!"

"But here in this training room I am your senior," she shot back. "Since I joined the program before you! You should be glad to get beaten up by me!"

"What do you want, Semin?" he asked warily.

"Oh right!"
