OPEN YOUR EYES (BLIND I) - MUSIQ SERIES PART 2

24. THE SHOW?

Since the only way to make the CEOs believe Heejin was telling them what had happened, she tried to explain to the best of her abilities her relationship with Mrs Kim and Minji. Axel was there the whole time, finally hearing exactly what she had dealt with from a very young age, and it took everything in him to not jolt up and go to Heejin's house to kill that woman.

"And you haven't told your parents about it?" Mika asked her confused when she finished her story. "I get that you don't want to tell your brothers, but what about your parents?"

"My mother has been trying ridiculously hard to keep Yunghoon connected to his family, and I know as soon as I tell them they will try to cut all ties with them. It would be very selfish for me to do that," she tried to explain.

"But you need to get away from that woman. There is no way we will let you live with her after hearing this."

"I have nowhere else to go. Besides, she only lives at my house for around a week every month or so. It sometimes varies, but it's usually like that."

"What about the trainee dorm?" Lin asked the other CEOs. "She could live there during those weeks."

"They are full right now. We would have to rent another one, and just for one person..." Mika reasoned. "Nari is also a no-go, and she is the only Korean trainee I think she is close enough with."

"Let's do something, then," Alix spoke up. "Why don't we move the dates for the show forward? It's the perfect excuse."

"But even if we do that it still would take us at least a month to set everything up. She would have to be with her yet another time," Lin said.

"She can stay with Jisung and me. We have free rooms and I don't mind. If she is okay with it, of course." Alix turned to Heejin, who was trying to decide what to do, as it was not something she could do so easily. "Tell your parents you are staying at a friend's house to prepare for the evaluations or something like that."

Heejin and Axel had not understood what they had meant with 'the show', but seeing they were sure of everything made her feel more at ease. She knew she could trust the CEOs, so she decided to give in and agree to it. She had to do something about Mrs Kim, and she needed help to do that.

"Alright, I will do it, but what is the show thing you were talking about?" she asked them confused. "How does that help this situation?"

"A debut show. Your possible debut show," Lin explained. "MusiQ's first girl group debut show."

Since not long before Alix had told her there was no way she would let her debut in such state she was very confused, and even more so when Minako and more than half of the trainees had turned their back against her. There was no way she could form a team with any of them when they would not even look at her.

"Best case scenario, you debut in the new group; worst case scenario, you end up in one of the free spots at the trainee dorm during that time," Mika told her. "If the first one's the case, you wouldn't need to explain anything to your parents, but you would need to if it doesn't happen."

They had not explained how the show would work, but she guessed from what they said that it would be a survival type of show and they would have little to no say in who ended up debuting. Either way, she knew she would have to make it to not have to explain anything to her family.

"I will work hard," Heejin told them. "I will make sure you do not regret asking me to debut as a soloist and I will make sure I make it to keep things peaceful in my family."

"We will start working on everything now and prepare the announcement for the other trainees for tomorrow. For now, though, we must explain everything to them," Mika said looking at Axel. "Come on, let's go back. Don't worry, I will not say anything about your family, Heejin. I will just tell them you explained everything and Axel has nothing to do with it."
