Eun-Ae got up from her snug bed and trudged into her bathroom, trying to get ready for the day. She jumped into the soothing hot shower. She wasn't that nervous, she was positive she wouldn't win. The one lucky person would be announced at precisely 3 o'clock in the Audition Hall. She felt vexation towards her friend, Lalisa, who had placed the bet in the first place. It was all her fault that she had embarrassed herself in front of GOT7 and JYP.
4 Hours Later, At The Audition Hall
"To all who have participated, we thank you very much for giving us many talented performances. Sadly, there can only be one winner. It was indeed a very hard decision and we once again would like to thank all of you. I am very pleased to announce that the winner is..." JYP's voice boomed around the hall,
.
"Park Min-Jung! Congratulations! Please make your way up to the stage!" Eun-Ae felt her heart being crushed, along with all her dreams. Even though she knew she wasn't going to win, she still had a chink of hope inside her. Her grip on the chair's arm had tightened so much so her knuckles had turned white. Park Min-Jung, Park Min-Jung. That name sounded familiar. That name made her so angry. Why? She didn't know. Who is Park Min-Jung?
Her phone was ringing. She slid her fingers inside her pocket and pulled out her phone to see who was calling her. Mum She stared at her phone, open-mouthed, memories rushing back to her. Her mum, who hadn't contacted her since the incident was calling her. Her fingers shaking uncontrollably, she answered the phone and put it next to her ear. "H-hello?" She whispered confidently. "Ah! Darling! You picked up! I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner somewhere." Her mum chirped, as if nothing had happened the past 10 years. Instead of happiness that her mum had finally called her, she felt anger. Such a strong feeling of irritation, annoyance and exasperation, that she felt herself going crazy. "Mum," was all she could say, before her self-control was disabled. Her eyes started to drip with tears. Her walls, the walls that held her up, made her strong, collapsed. She put the phone down, as she couldn't imagine what would happen if she didn't. People around her were looking at her with sympathy and confusion. But no, Eun-Ae had to be strong, for her friends, for her well-being, for herself.
"Excuse me, are you Min Eun-Ae?" One of JYP's staff asked Eun-Ae.
"Y-yes." Her voice still hoarse from the sobbing.
"JYP has asked you to meet him at his office, if that is fine with you of course"
Eun-Ae still shocked took a while to answer.
"Uh. Yes, yes. I'll come meet JYP" finally snapping out of her trance.
