Jimin's POV

"Lift, and bend. Mila be sure to- yes, perfect." Ms. Juliet watches us very carefully and critiques our every step. "Jimin, walk softer- exactly."

It only takes about 5 minutes to finish our scene, but with Ms. Juliet watching it feels like hours.

Today is the day. Ms. Juliet was kind enough to allow Mila and I to practice one last time. 

I worry that I  might get off tempo, since I've heard the music so many times. I swear it even plays in my sleep now-and especially in my nightmares.

"Beautifully done, you two." She smiles at us softly. "Now you'd better get going. Your audition is in an hour-"

"Please." I cut her off. "Just...please just watch us one more time- just in case-"

"Jimin." She snaps. "Today is the day. There is no time for you to practice again!"

Mila scoffs and glares at me. 

"Can't you see how hard I'm working?" She complains; and she's right. She's been working like crazy. "Why have you been slacking off so much? Where is your mind?"

"I think the better question is where are your friends." I hear Ms. Juliet mumble. 

"W-What? That's not fair...it wasn't my fault that-"

"There you are, sweetheart." I feel Jungkook's arms wrap around me as he kisses at my neck and shoulder. "Did you miss me?" He smirks, and I feel the judgement from the other two in front of me. 

"Wait- This isn't what it looks like." I try to shrug him off but it's as though he's stuck to me like tar. 

Suddenly Eunwoo walks into the room, but he's wearing Sehun's clothes. I gasp and feel myself start to panic. I've been avoiding him for so long...why...why now did he have to show up?

Again I try to  escape, but the room changes and everyone but Eunwoo melts away into a sticky black puddle that encloses the whole room.

I'm stuck in a  corner and the black tar is climbing up my shoes.

"Jimin, please understand. He was the one I wanted to be with this whole time. Why can't you just be happy for me?" 

I close my eyes and ears, but I can still see his face in my head, and it keeps distorting.

The music from the love scene continues to play, but it's getting louder and louder. The speakers are bursting and its turning to a static mess. 

"You're stuck here, Jimin. Open your eyes and realize that this is your life." He spits at me. 

I open my tear filled eyes to see him glaring at me, and all of the  people I love are behind him. They're all glaring, all disappointed in me; and without me knowing it, the black tar has climbed all the way up to my eyes and before I know  it everything is black.

"Where am I?" I ask into the black obis, groping around to find something to hold on to. " How did I get here?"... images of my home and my parents ripple through the air, and disappear. Pictures of who I used to be, flake away; and no matter how hard I try to hold  on to them- they vanish.

I fall to my knees and begin to weep, and when I look down...I see my reflection in the blackness...

"Your dreams are fading Jimin..." My reflection says  to me, his voice is wispy and echoes... "We have such a long way to  go...why are you  running in place?"
