Practice Makes Me Look Bad

Se-Ah POV

It was 8 am. I stood in the practice room watching GOT7 goof off with each other. It had been a week since I had gotten permission to be in the video. I wasn't sure I would be able to do this but, honestly, it was an experience I couldn't pass up. I had asked J B if he was sure he wanted me in the video. I could destroy all their hard work, but he assured me, I was perfect for the part.

Jackson stood to the side of the room, staring at me. He was the only one I hadn't really interacted with. I wasn't sure if he even liked that I was there. I felt uncomfortable. He could be intimidating.

J B gathered us together and started playing the track for the music. He passed lyrics out and I stared at them. Wait, I had to sing too! I looked at him and he just smirked at me. "You haven't even heard me sing yet. Are you sure about this?" He nodded and placed his hand on my shoulder. "You got this." Jackson huffed and walked to the couch, sitting down.

The music started playing and I wandered around the room as the guys started singing their parts. I only had three lines, in the middle, but I was really nervous. YoungJae walked up to me when it was close to my part and laid his hand on my shoulder. He sang with me, his voice so perfect, there was no way I could compete.

"In the dark, I hear you calling

Still seeming to be far away

All I can do, wait in the rain" ( yes, I have lyrics and the music ;))

Of course, I never hit the right notes. Jackson was drilling me with his eyes, making me turn away. No good, I could see him in the mirror. I took a deep sigh. We did this over and over and over. YoungJae helped me every time. I started to get it though. My voice becoming more confident.

On repeat 20 something, YoungJae didn't sing with me as expected. "Whoa." Yugyeom said quietly. I actually didn't hear him. I was so into the lyrics by this time. As they continued singing, I just kept going, joining in at my part.

J B stopped us and sat us down. He wanted us to sing together. Jin-Young and YoungJae were to ad lib as they wished. Mark, B B, and Jackson added their rap parts. I could tell the three had practiced together. It was amazing. I sounded so out of place.

We continued like this for two hours. Taking small water breaks to rest our vocals. I loved watching the process. I never knew they did things this way.

YoungJae POV

I had heard her sing when we played the first day we met her. She had a very good tone and I convinced J B to add lines for her. J B seemed to trust me and I told him I would help her perfect them. I was excited for her but Jackson seemed to have an issue. I would have to ask him what was wrong later.

We practiced and practiced. At first, she was very nervous and her notes were off slightly. She was actually closer than I think, she thought she was. After a while, she seemed to be getting it so I stepped back and let her sing. Wow, this was perfect for her range. She seemed to be an alto soprano, and with the background thunder effect, she sounded sexy.

We continued until we had been singing for about two hours. I was excited to see her sing in the studio. I whispered to J B. "I think this is perfect for her. I will help her some more so she will nail it." J B nodded. "Ok, let's take a break and then we will start choreo." I handed Se-Ah a bottle of water and began showing her our stretches.

Jackson's POV

I felt like she didn't need to be here. I wasn't sure but something felt weird to me. Maybe it was like I felt she was trying to gain something by being here. I was, sometimes, un-trusting of new people. I didn't mean to be but I wanted to be protective of my brothers. J B could be too trusting but as the leader, I trusted him to know what he was doing.

I watched her as she sang. She kept moving around the room, as if it was helping her. I could hear her as she got closer to me. Her voice wasn't bad actually. Maybe she could do this, but I still wanted to know what she wanted from it.

When YoungJae stopped singing with her, I expected to hear flat notes and hesitation. There was none. Yugyeom said it before I could, whoa. She was talented. So maybe, I would give her a little slack, but she still needed to prove to me she wasn't out to hurt us.

Se-Ah POV

That was fun. NOT. I was already tired. I had agreed to this though and there was no way I would back down. I wanted this to be the perfect comeback for them. If I could help, then I would do anything.

J B started going over the choreo. I was actually not in the beginning of the choreo until it got close to my part. "Se-Ah, you will be in the background. The rain will be falling on you as you sing. That is when your hero comes to save you and you will dance together in the rain. It will then fade out and your part will end. All in all, about 45 seconds." I nodded, "Perfect." They all laughed at the sarcastic excitement in my voice. Wait, he said hero..who?

I stood behind them as they went over their choreo. I was actually shaking. I was nervous to do a couple's dance. Suddenly, as my part came on, J B and Yugyeom started dancing together with an umbrella. And...J B was dancing my part...oh lord...Yugyeom was my partner. I watched carefully. I was dizzy, blood rushing to the brain in anxiety. He was my bias. All I could think was Oh god....

They finished and I looked at J B. "Oh , is that all?" I blushed and turned around away from them. He laughed. I took a few deep in and out breaths. I actually was very good at choreo. I always seemed to pick it up quickly so this should be ok, as long as I don't trip him or fall on my own ass.
