Chapter 29

"Star," Seomin called Star who's playing with her food while smiling. But she's not responding on their call as if she can't hear them. She's looking to nowhere, penetrating each person who passes in her frint.

They are on the school's cafeteria, eating their lunch. It's Sunday but they took a make up class.

"Yah, Star!" Seomin said louder but she just smiled widely then shook her head.

"She looks insane." Chahyun whispered to Seomin while chewing her food.

"She really is." Seomin said then flickered Star's forehead and it finally caught her attention.

"Ouch!" She massaged her forehead while glaring at Seomin, "What did I ever do unto you?"

"You're not listening to me."

"I am listening!" She said then ate a spoon of rice.

"Duh!" Seomin just snorted then maked face at her. Star just continued eating while glaring at her.

She then looked at Chahyun who's just silently eating.

'This is now getting longer.' Star thought. Chahyun has been quiet for a few days. Usually, she is the loudest and most talkative among them. But seems like the world turned upside down.

"What are you thinking, Star?" Seomin asked while mixing her juice with the straw. Star pointed at Chahyun using her fork. "You're thinking of her while smiling crazily earlier?"

Star showed a poker face, "You should've cleared what you're asking about. What I was thinking earlier is different from what I am thinking right now." Then she shook her head in dismay, "Just... plans for my future." But she's actually thinking about her date with Ten yesterday.

"What are your plans for your future?"

She smiled sweetly before answering, "Secret." Then she munched her slice of loaf bread.

"Aigoo." Star just laughed at her. "We don't have trainings for today. How do you want to spend the rest of the day?"

"You mean, after class?" Star asked and Seomin nodded. "Hmm, do we need to go somewhere? Let's just rest at home." Then she pouted.

"Speaking of going somewhere. Where have you been yesterday? I forgot to ask you."

Star stopped herself from smiling, "I just had a date."

"Heol!" Seomin closed her mouth in surprise. She also caught Chahyun's attention, "With whom?"

Star hugged herself and smiled, "With the one and only me, myself."

Seomin's bright expression slowly turned into an expression of disbelief. She rolled her eyes and looked at Chahyun. "Yah, Chahyun, let's have a date." Chahyun just nodded at her.

"Ooooh. Here comes a couple." Star said while wagging the spoon between her thumb and index finger.

"Change topic," Seomin took a sip of her juice first then wiped her lips with a tissue, "I heard they are going to announce who's going to be revealed next as SM Rookies girls."

Star's eyes widened, "Oh really?"

"Yep. And I believe you'll be one of the chosen trainees!" The she clapped timidly.

"I guess not. I just entered the company." Then she took a sip from her water.

"Yah. You know Ten?" Star blew the water from his mouth and coughed, "Oh my, are you okay?"

"O-oh, yeah." She tapped her chest and nodded.

"Goodness. Be careful while drinking!"

"I know. *cough* What about Ten?" She asked then wiped her lips. She felt her cheeks turning red but she tried to stop her emotions.

"He entered SM at 2013 but debuted as one of the pioneers of SM Rookies in December that year, the same year! You can be like him. You're so talented, girl, and our trainors likes you."

Star laughed at her, "Don't conclude that much."

"I'm certain." Then she hooked her arms on Chahyun's shoulder, "We are sharing the same thoughts, right?"

Chahyun just nodded while wiping her lips. "I'll just go to the restroom." Then she stood and walked away. The two just followed her with their eyes.

"I guess she's really having a hard time." Star said.

"I think too."

Monday, the Rookies are busy grooming theirselves for a pictorial. Earlier, they practiced for their show in Bangkok and they only have 3 days left before they fly to Thailand.

"My back is hurting." Taeyong whined while massaging his waist. He's sitting on a chair beside the wall.

"You better stay still in there." Jaehyun said while their make-up artist applies make-up on his face.

"Yah, Ten. What can we expect from Thailand?" Johnny, who's busy looking at a magazine, asked Ten.

Ten who is also in front of the mirror and being groomed thought of their fans, "Expect screams, bro."

Johnny looked at him and threw him his magazine. "I mean, places, weather, and such! Never talk to Chittaphon, guys." He said then pointed harshly to Ten. But it was meant as a joke.

"I heard we have a big fanbase from there." Taeil said.

"It's true. That's one of the reasons why we're going to have a show there." Doyoung agreed.

"They're so cool." Yuta said.

"Yes. I didn't expected that the tickets will be sold out for ten minutes only." Jaehyun said in amazement.

"I think it's because TEN is a Thai so we sold them for ten minutes." Taeyong said.

"That's a bad joke. Try again later." Hansol said then tapped his head.

Ten just smiled while feeling proud.

"You guys are gaining many fans more than we expected." The hairstylist that's grooming Ten said.

"Oh, thank you. We didn't expected it too." Ten said.

"I already thought of them gaining a lot of fans. They're a package of beauty and talents." The make-up artists that's grooming Jaehyun said.

"Aye..." the boys reacted as if they're not convinced.

"You guys are still young yet you're already enjoying the success. You're not even debuting yet." Another make up artist said.

"Oh, thank you." Doyoung just thanked while being fluttered with their words.

"There are lots of girls that loves you. How are you going to choose one from them?" The hairstylist joked.

"Wah, we're not prepared for that yet." Hansol said.

"Taeil hyung's getting old, he must be eyeing someone already." Taeyong joked then laughed.

"Yah, I'm not that old yet!" Taeil said while laughing.

"Perhaps, we're not yet allowed." Jaehyun said.

"I'm focused with my career tho." Doyoung said.

"Can a policy really stop a person's heart?" Jaehyun's make up artist said, "I mean, during your no-dating policy period, you liked a girl, can the policy stop your feelings?"

Ten nodded while laughing inside. 'I unbelievably broke that policy already.' He said in his mind.

"When I was in my teenage years, my father told me I can't date during high school. But I liked a guy and in the end, we had a thing until before graduation." Ten's hair stylist said. "Ten, you're done. You're next, Hansol. Sit in here."

Ten stood and sat beside Taeyong in a couch. On the other side of the room, there's another couch where Yuta, Johnny and Taeil sit. They're facing each other.

"But I'm just wondering, how will you handle a situation wherein the two of you liked the same girl." Jaehyun's make-up artist suddenly said.

"Oooh. That's too much." Taeyong said.

"I hope that won't happen." Doyoung said.

"That should not happen." Ten said then laughed. He leaned his back and roamed his eyes around the room. He stopped as he saw Yuta looking at him.
