it’s not that dayeon expected the role of leader to be easy. not at all. however, she also didn’t expect to be met with such resistance from some of her teammates. she believed that working together and putting on their best performance would be beneficial for everybody, which is why she can’t help but let out a huff of frustration at how eiji seems to be against the idea of dayeon as the leader.
“can we go over the chorus one more time?” she sounds like she’s practically begging at this point, but there were some parts of the choreo that she thought could look better if they tried it again with the counts. dayeon didn’t want to be some hard-cut leader. she believed in taking her teammates with her and being someone who supports them from the back. of course, this may not be the best for everybody, but if she had to take on this role, she wanted to do it in a way that would work for her. that way she could pay attention to everybody else as well.
when it feels like eiji’s ignoring her, she walks up to her and gives her a light pat on the shoulder. “i’d like to go over the chorus again. i think there’s a move where we weren’t completely in sync.” she’s a bit more straightforward this time because that seems to be what works with this specific teammate.
