Chapter 5 | Hardships

Chou Tzuyu

'The moon is beautiful, isn't it?' It's been a month and a half since I saw his mesmerizing eyes once again. And until now, I can't forget his smile and eyes when he said that phrase. I badly want to see him again or even just chat with him through text, but sadly I can't. We are currently at the company building, recording our debut song then proceeding to dance practice. As TWICE, we've been attending interviews, reality shows, and photoshoots. Yes, we're rookies but it doesn't mean that we're not busy.

"Chou Tzuyu, you're next!" I heard my manager called me, I'll be the last to record my line from our song 'Like a Fool'. The lyrics were made by Daniel Kim sunbaenim.

I'll be quick since I only have 2 lines, but I was wrong..

"Chou Tzuyu! You only have 2 lines and yet you can't perfect them!" The song director angrily shouted at me, which caused the atmosphere to be awkward.

"Are you even an idol?! Seriously, how the hell did you become a singer?! Oh, right! You got selected because of your popularity!" The director's words stabbed right through my heart. Call me emotional, but who wouldn't get hurt by that?

Yes, I admit that my singing abilities are not 100%, but isn't it their responsibility to teach us from our mistakes as a singer?

"I-I'm sorry, I'll try my best." That's the only sentence I manage to blurt out.

"Will your sorry be enough when your group falls down?!"

"N-no sunbaenim.." I looked down, how can I handle looking at them?

"Let's just start again, give Tzuyu some time to regain herself then she will continue the recording." After my manager spoke up, we left the room and sat in a chair not too far away. My manager tried to comfort me but I showed him that I'm fine. After some minutes, the director called us saying that we're wasting time.

I manage to sing even if tears are threatening to fall down. We bid goodbye to them and left the room. But when we reached the door, one of the staff whispered but enough for me to hear it.

Fast Forward

"Tzuyu-ah! Dinner is ready!" Jihyo unnie shouted from the kitchen. While me? Laying on my bed, being drowned by my thoughts.

"TWICE won't last long because of her. She's just a pretty face that used her family's money to be an idol."

"No.. It's not true.. I'm not just a pretty face.." I told myself with tears threatening to fall down.

"Tzuyu?" Dahyun unnie knocked from the bedroom door.

"Come in unnie." I told her after wiping my face with a towel. I'm certain that my eyes and nose are red due to my drama.
