The Show Must Go On

"What? You're dating him?!"

The people inside the practice room gasped and whispered to each other when soyeon, one of my dance teachers shared the headline of the news today.

It's early in the morning and we're practicing our performance for kbs gayo daechukje 2020. I have my collaboration stage and my solo stage that night. That's not part of the promise of Bang PD, that's really part of the program.

"yeah." I answered simply.

Soyeon's eyes widened. "you lied to me last night when you said you were meeting a girl?"

I nodded awkwardly. I looked at my members for help but they just shook their head and help the dancers to tease me. They're a big help. Argh!

I stared at my phone where the article from bighit was released.

" Jungkook and Sinb has been dating for 3 months." -Bang PD

Source Music and Bighit Entertainment confirmed jungkook and sinb' s dating rumor.

The other members know what's happening, actually all idols in the bighit labels. There's one rule. No idols outside the company will know the truth.

I feel guilty that I can't tell it to my friends.

From: Moonbin (ASTRO)

Jungkook is very unfortunate
to have you. JK.
I'm happy for the both
of you.

From: Eunseo (WJSN)

Omg? We just talked about
him last night! Why didn't you
tell me?!

From: Dahyun (TWICE)
Damn. 3 months without even
telling me? Kidding.
So happy for you.

Actually, I don't know what to answer to all of their questions. This is so sudden.

I know, bighit is a big company now, surpassing Big 3 companies. From rugs to riches, indeed. But it doesn't mean, it will stay up there, once the fans will be disappointed, it will be the end. No matter how talented you are, when you're not famous enough, or the people  chose to be blind because that other group is more popular than your talent.

Popularity, and you're just talented.

"okay, let's go back to practice!" soyeon shouted.

Groaning, I got up from the floor and put my phone aside. We started practicing my dance for the studio choom that will me filmed tomorrow, after practicing the performance for the year end shows. I have so many things on my plate right now, and the pretention just added to its weight.

We practiced my dance as the artist of the month then straight to our dance practice of our new song called Mago. It's just days since it was released. We haven't rested a bit except yesterday.

After the music shows, we will be shooting our memoria, and another variety show. After all those schedules, I will come back here to practice again for tomorrow's artist of the month.

I can't even think a schedule for that pretention. He's busy too, I know! But why the hell he didn't oppose to this bad idea?

After NYEL, are we going back to normal? Or we will still pretend the next year until he gained the fans' trust again?

"sinb..." eunjo called.

I blinked several times when I noticed that I wasn't moving when everyone was dancing. They all stared at me, confused.

"sorry, let's do it again." I apologized but soyeon just sighed.

"I think, you need to take a break. Let's go on to mago. Without sinb." she said
