Chapter 104: Swan (4)
"Phew, should I try the choreography one more time?" still wearing his uniform because he hadn’t had time to go back to his assigned room, which was still the same until they got re-ranked in a couple of days, Ari carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead as he sat on the ground while recovering.
After witnessing Benjamin and William Forbes’s fight, Ari returned to his own team’s practice room, but it wasn’t much better there.
Due to repeated arguments, Leo and the rest of the team couldn’t agree about how to split the remaining vocal parts apart from the Main Vocal, which was given to Ari.
In addition, the other boys were quite resistant to doing the girly choreography and bubbly pink concept, but couldn’t figure out alternatives, so rather than hash it out or even practice, it was put off until they had filmed the signal song.
Not wanting to be found lacking, especially as he knew one dance trainer and one vocal trainer didn’t like him, once Leo dismissed them, Ari found himself a small practice room and practiced not only his team’s song, memorizing all of the parts, but he also practiced the signal song.
The most surprising part of it all was his unexpected practice partners, who were sweating even harder than he was.
Ari glanced up, glancing at Alfonso, whose thick hair had snapped another rubber band, and, surprisingly, Suzuki Rei, who was mouthing the song words while glaring at him in the mirror.
Meeting the Japanese boy’s eyes, Ari lifted one brow and asked, "What now?"
"It’s midnight, huff huff. Do you still...huff plan on ...huff practicing?" Suzuki Rei asked him with a face that was redder than a tomato.
His red and black hair was damp with sweat and hung limply around his face, while his white shirt was soaked through and transparent.
Both Suzuki Rei and Alfonso had followed him to the practice room, and Suzuki Rei dutifully followed everything that Ari did with twice the energy as if they were in a race.
