“I’m sorry I got you waiting there, by the way” she apologized, glancing up at the older male- crinkling her nose as he adjusted the hood atop her head; her lips forming a small pout but it remains hidden underneath the face mask she was wearing. She fixes her bangs as she side-eyed the male, “how does being all covered up makes me look about 10— you’re weird“ she teases, raising a brow as she shoves her hands inside her pockets.
Skipping her way as she walks, she hummed random tunes as she smiles; glancing at the male as she sensed the excitement on his tone. She was glad that she finally gets a free time, after a week of being busy with catching up with her school and the daily training – she might as well deserve some time to chill.
“You’ve been busy preparing for debut, huh? How is it going so far?” she questions, realizing the male have yet to debut. She had sure heard a lot about his group from the girls in her school, as well as some male trainees in their company who happened to know the iKON members . She glanced at the older male, tilting her head as she blinks, “Ah, yeah? I suppose I get to see the others too since it’s your dorm and they live there.” she chuckles, chewing her lower lip slightly before she mutters, “I hope it would be fine for the others though to have me around, I mean I’m not quite familiar with many people – not even the ones in my own company”
“You look so tiny.” He made sure to purposely walk while adjusted up on his tip-toes to exaggerate just how much shorter she was than he.
His stare remained somewhat dead, as they walked side by side, once the mention of his current situation as a trainee or soon to be idol, to be specific. Their debut was set for the beginning of the year and yet they were six months into 2015 and no one has seen iKON’s debut. It was exhausting having to explain the fact that the music they were producing just didn’t make the cut and so their debut was left without a real answer other than ‘we’ll be debuting soon’. That’s the only hope he could hand out at that point.
“It’s hard.” Hanbin nodded slowly, replaying the constant struggle to create a track worthy of debut in his mind. “But we’re working really hard to keep our fans from waiting any longer. Debuts are incredibly important so we need to make sure everything is flawless.”
She was in a similar boat as he was. He knew the exact feeling of showing up to a party and only knowing a few people out of a large crowd. That was something idols would always encounter and something they needed to get over. Meeting new people was important in the industry. “They knew I was inviting you. They’re probably more nervous to meet you than you are.” A low laugh slipped under his breath at the completion of his sentence.
“I’m not tiny- I’m fun sized” she pulls down the face mask momentarily, sticking her tongue out at the male before realizing he had just looked taller than he was before. “what on earth—yah!” she squinted her eyes at the male as she noticed how the male had adjusted up in tip toes – knowing exactly he was doing that on purpose. She lets out a huff as she crossed her arms, “If you trip while walking in tip-toes, I am not responsible for that”
Once the atmosphere had turned serious again, she glanced at the male; noticing how his playful look had slightly disappeared, she felt slightly bad for the male. But being in a company that requires not only vocal skills, dancing skills and visual – this kind of thing will always occur. And the fact that not everyone shares the same musical taste is making it harder for them; at least that’s what Yeri assumed after reading an article about iKON’s debut and other artists’ comebacks. “I somehow believe you will debut soon.” she says firmly, nodding as she pressed her lips into a thin line. “Before you know it, that hard work will eventually be paid off- hwaiting!” she smiles small and nudged the male slightly.
She then stared ahead of her as the two walk, though the male had slightly assured her that they knew she was coming – it’s her first time coming to a boys’ dorm and she wasn’t familiar with the people there, she have never greeted them properly or see them in person before. She hoped she won’t be awkward or embarrass herself there at least, “Well.. at least they knew I’m coming. But still though, this is my first time coming into a boys’ dorm and meeting the iKON members as well. Let’s hope I won’t embarrass myself.”
