(ch.88)

Once everyone got their turn, Chin knew 12 out of 15 songs, everyone was impressed by her, they gave her compliments as she said "Dang, that was easy," out of breath as she sat on the ground.

Xaing clapped his hands and said "Look at what guys did to her, now she looks as tired as a giant panda," in a sarcastic tone. He continues "but always let's get practicing while we let this panda rest," in a serious tone.

Chin glared at him and gently smacked him on the leg while some of the dancers were giggling, she got up and said "Hey, you meanie butt! You know what I'm not tired, I just needed to catch my breath," in a bold tone.

Bojing interrupted and asked "Can I play one more song," in a curious tone as he looked at Xaing, he nodded so he started to play the song. She listens to the song but she never heard this song, she looked at the other dancer to see if they knew the song but they shook their heads, she shouted: "What song is this?"

Bojing stopped playing the song, giggled, and said "It's a song no one knows about cause it's not released to the public," in a joyful tone.

Chin asked, "At least let me know who's the singer."

Xaing agreed with her and added "Yeah, the singer has a good voice. I really like their song, who's the singer," in a kind tone.

He shooked his head and said "Sorry, I can't tell you the singer I promise the singer I'll not tell their identity to anyone," in an apologetic tone. "But anyway let's start practicing," he added as everyone got into position.

Chin asked "Where should I be," as she looked at Xaing.

Xaing looked around and said "Um, you can stand next to Bojing," she went next to him, which was behind Xaing. Soon they started to dance, she automatically knew the song and started to follow along. After an hour, many backup dancers have used all of their energy so they sat on the sides, soon the only person that still dancing was Chin.

Bojing said "How- are- you still- dancing? Aren't you tired," out of breath with a tired tone.

Chin said "Not really," as she continues to dance but then the music was turned off, that when she stopped and look at whoever turned off the music, it was Xaing. She asked "Why did you turn off the music," as she untied the shirt and started to flap the shirt to make her cool down.

Xaing answered "Cause you need to take a break or you'll overwork yourself then I'll be in trouble with your brothers," in a serious tone as he made an upset face. She knew he was right so she just sighed, sat down, and asked "So do we just sit here or what," as she went to grab her phone.

"We just talk or just go on our phones," Xaing replied in a calm tone.

Chin added "Do some sleep," in a curious way as she looked around, there were some that were sleeping.

Xaing looked and answered her "I guess," in a hesitant tone as he gave her an unsure smile. She nodded then she laid down while playing on her phone. A few minutes later, Xaing asked if everyone was ready to practice, everyone got up except Chin. Xaing called her name but she didn't reply, he checked on her, he said "She fell asleep, what should we do," in a calm tone as he pointed at her since she fell asleep in front of the big mirror.

Someone said "We could let her be, I think we'll do fine with her in front of the mirror," in a calm tone as they agreed so they begin to practice. 30 minutes later, Chin saw the reflection in the mirror of them dancing, she sat up and said "Omg, sorry I fell asleep, why didn't one of you guys wake me up," in an alarm tone as she got up.

Xaing went to turn off the music, then he said "It's fine, you danced for almost 3 hours with little breaks so I kinda expected for you to fall asleep," in a soft tone as he gave her a gentle look. He announced "Okay you guys, that will be it for the day, if you guys want to you guys can use the shower room if you don't then go home and rest well," in a kind tone.

Everyone went to the shower room while Chin asked "Seriously, why didn't you wake me up now I feel embarrassed," in an upset tone as she was packing up.

Xaing smiled and said "Don't worry, they know that you ran out of power so you were just recharging," in a joyful tone as he was grabbing clothes and went to the shower room.

Chin glared at him and said "It's not funny," in an annoyed tone. While all of the guys went to take a shower, Chin went to look around the building as she was looking, she saw that there were so many good-looking idols and backup dancers as they were leaving for the day. Chin tried to go back but she didn't know where she was, she started to panic and she tried to retrace her tracks but she kept ending in the same spot.

She got a call from an unknown number, she answered it she was so happy to hear Xaing voice asking where she is. She said "I- I don't know, all I know is that the lights are turning off," in a scared voice.

Xaing said "Calm down, just still there. I'll come to find you," in a calm tone, then he hung up. She turned on her phone's flashlight on her phone as she sat on the floor while she waiting for him the lights begin to turn off. After a few minutes, she got tired of sitting on the cold floor, she got up and went into a room. She kicked something while looking in the room when she looked she saw a box of pins and tape rolls. She had a flashback of something that causes her to start to have trouble breathing, her heart rate increase, she was sweating, and everything was getting bury.

She feels so dizzy that she lost her balance but someone caught her but she couldn't see the person since her vision went bury then she lost consciousness but she did she whispered "Xaing?" When she woke up she looked around and asked "Where am I?"

Xaing said "You're at the hospital when Bojing found you but then you lost consciousness," in a calm tone as he stood next to her.

"Oh ok, by the way, does Lai know about this," she asked in an uneasy tone.

Before he could answer, Lai ran through the door to her and shouted "Chin are you okay? What happened? Are you unwell? Answer me," in an anxious with a worried face.

She said "Lai, calm down, I'm fine. Look I'm not badly hurt, I just fainted so don't worry," in a soft tone as she held his hand to reassure him that she's fine. Then the doctor came in to check on Chin, Lai asked what's wrong with Chin, the doctor said "Well she has some bruises on her body, her heart rate was higher than normal, she was sweating, and her oxygen level was low but now it's back to normal. Is there anything chance that there's abuse where she lives," in a disturbed tone?

Lai was shocked when he answered "No, there is no abuse where she lives. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with her?"

Chin interrupted "There's nothing wrong with me. It's just because of my phobias, the reason for the bruises is because I'm really clumsy so I often fall or bump into something," in an honest tone as she looked at Lai.

When she said the doctor understood everything, the doctor said "If that's it then she's healthy, no need to worry. You guys can leave when the IV is done, when it's done then press the button the nurse will come to help," as he looked at Lai, then he left.

Lai sat down next to Chin and asked "When did you start having these phobias? Are you sure you're okay," in a soft tone.

She nodded as she held his hand then asked "By the way, what time is it," as she squints at the clock.

Xaing and Lai looked at each other confused, Lai said "It's almost 10:30 pm, are you sure you're okay," in a worried tone.

"Oh ok. I'm fine, it's just that I don't have my contacts lens in so that is the reason why I can't see. Can one of you guys grab my glasses in my backpack," she said with an apathetic tone. Xaing gave her glasses to her, she put them on. After an hour, Chin's IV was done, Xaing pressed the button after in a few seconds a nurse came in and begin to take out the IV. Chin asked the nurse where did they put her contacts, the nurse said she put them in the drawer, then she pulled a cute contacts lens case out of the drawer, Chin told Lai to put them in her backpack.

Xaing left before Lai and Chin, while they were going back home, Lai said "I'll have to go back to work so I'll drop you off then go back. If Xaing or Zhe asks where I am, just say that I'm at work," with calm as he parked on the sidewalk.

Chin nodded and said "Mmm," as they walk at the entrance, then Lai use one of the keys, that Xaing gave to him, to open the door. Lai opened the apartment door for her, he said "Ok I'll be going on. Get enough rest and call me if anything, ok bye," as she waved back at him, then he left.

When she looked around, the whole apartment was quiet and dark except the kitchen light, she quietly walked to her room as her life depends on it so she doesn't wake anyone up. She got into her room she laid on the bed for a few seconds then she got ready to take a shower, when got her things she quickly went to the bathroom. She charged her phone and then she went to sleep after the shower.

"Are you sure you're not tired, it's almost 12 in the morning," Hong asked with a concerned tone as she looked at Yu?

Yu asked "Yeah, I'm not tired plus I don't care what time it is, as long as I get this done," in an unexpressive tone as she typed the parts without looking at Hong.

Hong yawn and said "If you say so, just don't stay up too late. I'm going to sleep now, goodnight," in a tired tone as she got in bed. Yu gave an "Mmm" without paying attention, she was too busy in her own world to hear anyone say anything.

When Hong woke up, she unplugged her phone, checked what it was, it was almost 4 am, she went to take a shower but when she turned on the lamp she saw Yu sleeping with her laptop opened. She couldn't help but get curious, she grabbed Yu's laptop and started to read the new script.

Yu slowly woke to see Hong on her laptop, she slowly sat up while asking "What are you doing with my laptop," with a sleepy tone as she rubs her eyes.

"Oh, I'm just reading the new script," Hong said with a careless tone as her eyes were glued to it.

Yu got excited and asked "What do you think," in a curious tone with a bright face.

"Let me finish this then I'll tell you what I think," Hong answered. So Yu wait there for her answer, then Hong said "You should go wake up the rest of the girls and get ready for the day," so she went to go get ready and wake up the girls.

After a few minutes, Hong got done and she said "I think it's good, I change a few words but I really like it. You should read it to see if you like it" in a kind tone as she got up to go get ready for the day.

"I will when we get on the bus and later I'll send it to Mr. Li, the director, and Mr. Yang to see what they think," in a calm tone. They all left one by one when they were all ready and got their things and soon the only ones in the room were Yu and Hong. They tried to quickly get ready so they don't miss the bus when they got downstairs the crew was leaving the lobby so they quickly followed.

When Hong sat down as she felt someone sit next to her right away, without looking she said "Why do you always sit next to me, don't you have anywhere else to sit," in an annoyed tone, then she turns.

"Is there a problem with me sitting here, I can move if you want me to," in a confused tone.

Hong was shocked and said "Oh my, I'm sorry, Yu, I thought you were someone else," with an apologetic tone as she bowed.

She grins and asked "Who did you think I was, huh," in a mocking tone.

Hong frowned and said "Oh be quiet, I wasn't thinking of anyone," in a grumpy tone. "OK, let's not go to this topic, why are you sitting? Don't you usually sit with Xia or one of the other girls," in a curious tone?

Yu said "Yeah but I want to sit with you plus Xiu Ying is sitting in my spot," in a calm tone as she pointed in the direction. Hong looked in the direction that she is pointing at, she saw Xiu Ying's face glowing with laughter with his sister, the more he looked cute but then she shook her head and whispered "Get yourself together."

Yu tapped her on the shoulder and asked "Hong, are you okay? Are you sick," in an uneasy tone with a worried face.

Hong looked at her and said "Yeah, I'm fine, I was just thinking about something but it's really nothing," Yu nodded. While they were on the road, Yu was reading the script, that Hong edited, Hong listening to music with her earbuds but then she got a DM from a user, that she doesn't know, saying "Hi."

Hong replied, "Hi, do I know you?"

The user texted back "Why would I give that away? It's more fun if you don't know."

Hong looked around to see if she can get a hint but almost everyone was on their phones so that was pointless, she just sighed and went back to listen to music. In a few minutes, Yu told Hong that she like the script and will send it to see what Bai, Mr. Yang, and the director think.

When they got to their first location, it started to rain, the director said "Perfect timing, we have a few raining scenes, we can film those scenes today since it seems like it's going to rain all day. Ok let's get things set up," in a serious tone, then he clapped his hands. Everyone got to work, Mr. Yang told Xiu Ying to go buy umbrellas for everyone and gave him his credit card and an umbrella, Xiu Ying said "Sir, I'm not sure if I can carry all of the umbrellas by myself," in a questioning tone.

Mr. Yang shouted "Is there someone who's willing to run errands," then a person raise their hand so he said "The person that raised their hand, come here." The person that came forward was Hong, Mr. Yang said "Hong, can you go buy umbrellas with Xiu Ying," in a polite tone, she nodded.

While they were walking to the store, Hong said "Couldn't you go by yourself," in an annoyed tone as cross her arms.

He told her "Yes but I want to spend time with you to know you better," in a sweet tone as he smile at her.

She made puking sounds and said "Ew, that was too cheesy that it gave me goosebumps," in a disgusted tone as she rubs her arms.

He just laughed and said "I'm just joking, the reason you're here is just in case I can't carry all of the umbrellas so you can help me," in a joyful tone.

Hong relaxed and said "Oh ok, good," in a relief tone, she breathe out a sigh of relief. Xiu Ying whispered "Maybe I do want to know you better," then run away, leaving her to get soaked by the rain. She run after him, shouted "Hey, Xiu Ying wait for me. When I catch you, I'm going kill you," as people stared at them.
