THE ZOO [FF NCT AESPA]
The Part 13

“Kang ssaem?” Who is laying himself on a soft sofa in the room of the band club. “guru if the vocal?”

“O,” replied Hendery who was picking up an acoustic guitar which he then propped up on his lap. “dia has registered us,” continued Hendery who just informed Yangyang that Kang Ssaem asked them to appear at the school anniversary event which will be held in a month.

“Two only, hyung? Hyung will play guitar?”

“Ya... depends on what song we choose,”

Yang who nodded thought about what song the two of them would perform.

Finally the band club will perform on a stage, not on broadcast club radio or live on Yangyang's instagram account which was previously full of German-language comments, until recently it was full of Korean-language comments indicating that Yangyang's popularity had begun to spread to the country he now lives in.

Giselle supported her cheek with her right hand and her left hand was still clutching the banana milk that Yang had just given her. He listened to Yangyang's story saying that he would be performing at the school's birthday show. The uninhabited class this afternoon echoes Yangyang's enthusiastically speaking voice. Yang spoke while holding onto a guitar that he brought to instrument class today. Yangyang's enthusiastic movements made his guitar a little shrewd and almost fell down.

“I heard the cheers club also appeared,” said Yangyang, after finishing telling me. “what's right?”

Giselle nodded. “Mmm,”

“Wah... must be very cool,” Yangyang imagines a group of cheers who perform with his acrobatics.

Giselle who had finished sipping her banana milk then stood up and took her sports bag. “I train first, Yangyang ah,” said Giselle who will head to the sports hall to meet with her club members.

“Oh? O..” The one who nodded looked at the back of Giselle who started walking away.

Giselle then flipped her body as she was near the classroom door. “You didn't go home?”

“I? Mm yes, after this,” Yangyang raised his guitar. “I will practice once again,” he said.

Yangyang then looked at Giselle who closed the classroom and went away. Giselle's attitude today is so strange, different from usual. He looked gloomy and ignored Yangyang's jokes.

Yangyang practiced guitar for quite a while. Occasionally he twirled the guitar tuner when it was felt that the strings of his guitar did not emit the appropriate tone. Yang who no longer plays the violin on the instrument practice exam.

Keyboard and guitar are new musical instruments that Yang who loved since he attended school in Music. Yang still likes to play the violin and classical piano, but lately he chose to display modern songs that become a conversation on the Korean charts.

JRNTCH….

DRAP DRAP DRAP!!

The sound of fast running footsteps covered the sound of Yangyang guitar passages. Which seemed to gnash his forehead as the footsteps broke his constitution. The one who put the guitar on his desk. He rushed to the door of his class.

“Giselle ah!!” Sound from the hallway.

Yangyang stopped his hand that was about to open the door of his class. He was silent behind the door.

“Giselle ah!” The voice called out to Giselle again. Who peeked from the glass in the door of his class.

A person in the same clothes as Giselle took Giselle's hand and made her turn to look at her. “Giselle ah? Wae's? If you cry and leave, we don't understand,” he said.

Yangyang could now only see Giselle's back staring at one of the cheers members who was in front of Giselle. Yangyang also saw there was Karina who stood further away from the two of them.

“Already, Yeri unnie,” Giselle is heard speaking softly with a vibrating voice.

Karina walked closer to Yeri and Giselle. “Giselle ah...” call Karina worried.

“Are you disappointed that Joy didn't choose you?” Ask Yeri. “Hya, the stage of the school hall is not large, our number is too much, so not all members can perform,”

“Aniyeyo unnie,” Giselle shook her head while crying. “not because of that..”.

“Then why? Did those three kids tease you again?” Yeri tried to say her second guess.

“Aniyeyo..” replied Giselle again. “aku...I'm just disappointed with myself, unnie.”

“Giselle ah.” Karina rubbed Giselle's arm.

“Hya aniyaaa Karina hugged Giselle who looked annoyed to the point of crying as she pleased.

“Giselle ah, all need process, maybe your process longer than your friends, but I believe you can,” Yeri sounds encouraging Giselle. “trust me, I was in your position,” he continued, makes Giselle and Karina remember Joy's story about Yeri a few days ago.

“Unnie.”

“I hope you also understand the position of Joy,” continued Yeri. “ia just do not want to happen accidents or unwanted things on stage. Therefore he needs to select again cheers members who will do acrobatics on the school's birthday stage later,”

“Ne Yeri unnie, I understand,”

Yeri then helped Giselle wipe her tears, she then hugged Giselle while patting Giselle's back. “Gomawo,” said. “nah, Karina and I should return to the hall. You want to come or rest?”

“I just rest, sunbae. I want to go home,” replied Giselle who did not need to participate in cheers practice for 3 meetings, because the focus of the exercise is only for selected members to appear at school birthday events.

“Alright, we go back first yes,”

Giselle waved her hand at Yeri and Karina who looked in a hurry to return to practice in the sports hall.

GREEKK…

“Gi.”

Giselle took a few seconds. He looked at Yangyang who had not yet escaped from behind the classroom door. “Not home?” Ask Giselle who walked past Yangyang.

The one who turned her back looked at Giselle's back towards her desk. He sees Giselle unraveling her hair after she pigtails very high like any other cheers girl.

“Gwaenchana?” Ask Yangwho confirmed Giselle's condition.

“You heard, yes?”

“Mmm.. mian,” Yangyang stepped closer to his desk and Giselle. “You. You look thinner,”

“Do not entertain me,”

“Mian,”

A very awkward atmosphere of silence enveloped the two of them. Giselle continued to stare at the window on her left that displayed the twilight sky as well as the autumn leaves that flew by the wind.

“You... not so perform on stage huh?” Yang who still voices again.

“Hya,” Giselle sounds annoyed.

“A.ani..I mean.” Yangyang played his nails while still standing next to Giselle who refused to look at her. He is still looking out the window. “do you want to be our band vocalist?”

Giselle silently did not answer. Giselle did not realize that Yangyang could clearly see the reflection of Giselle's face from the window beside her. Yangyang was surprised to see Giselle who was apparently crying in silence. She was crying again. Her tears were seen pouring down her cheeks. Giselle was as bothered as she kept biting her lower lip.

“Giselle ah,” Yangyang pasted her palm onto Giselle's head.

“Huaaa!!”

Yangyang was shocked to hear Giselle who let out a cry so loud.

“Eh?! Giselle ah!”

“Why did you touch me?!” Giselle hit Yangyang's stomach which stands on her right side. “don't touch me!”

“Aw! Aw! Mianhae!” Yangyang who got a blow from Giselle.

“Huaaaaaa!!! Hiks hiks...” Giselle covered her face with her hands. His mouth still made a sound of crying.

“Gi..Giselle ah, relax.” Yangyang tried to calm Giselle down while looking at the classroom door, hoping that no one would be there.
