The Road We Walk On

37 | SNU Auditions (2)

At the same location, unbeknownst to Jenny and Seokkyung. Eunbyeol was also there. Eunbyeol had been really focused over the past few days at nailing her audition. She believed that if she could get into SNU, she would be able to get rid of Mrs Jin and also be reunited with her mother. Unfortunately, the news of Rona and Seokhoon both entering Juilliard had worsened her mental condition. Mrs Jin noticed that Eunbyeol was shaking non-stop.

Eunbyeol-ah, why are you shaking? Are you cold?

No Mrs Jin, I think I am just nervous. It is hard for me to calm down.

Oh dear, in another 2 more turns it would be yours. Do you need to take your medicine to calm you down?

Eunbyeol at first resisted the thoughts but as she saw the faces of the people auditioning and the confidence they each were radiating, she began to panic more.

I think I need my medicine.

Mrs. Jin fished out Eunbyeol's medicine, after she had consumed it. Eunbyeol's nervous ticks had stopped, she was beginning to feel more calm and in control. Soon Eunbyeol's turn was called, Mrs Jin walked with her right till the entrance. What Eunbyeol did not realise was that Mrs Jin had slipped Eunbyeol's phone into her school coat pocket. Wishing her luck, Eunbyeol entered onto the stage.

With the help of the medication, Eunbyeol felt in control and confident. She began to sing, she knew that as long as nothing weird happened, she would be able to sing this song well. This song was a piece that her mother had taught her since young, she had sung this song many times throughout her year. But just as she was about to finish the song, a ringing sound could be heard.

The staff immediately ran over and realised the sound was coming from Eunbyeol.

Miss, you were informed at the start of the briefing that no phones are allowed in the audition. This is against the rules.

No, that can't be mind.

Are you sure, based on the lock screen wallpaper, it is your photo. So this must be your phone, if not you then it must be your twin. Please exit the stage, the judges will deliberate now on how to handle your situation.

Eunbyeol was completely frantic, she waited at the side of the stage for a good minute before being informed that she was disqualified from the SNU audition. Eunbyeol was completely frantic, she just lost her one and only chance to get into SNU and perhaps get her freedom. She had a mental breakdown when she returned back to her seat.

What happened? How did it go?

I got disqualified.

What?

My phone was in my jacket pocket, I remember putting my phone in my bag. How did it get there? Mrs Jin, do you know anything about this?

I was sitting beside you Eunbyeol, I didn't see anything. Perhaps you absentmindedly placed your phone in your pocket - thinking that it was your bag?

That can't be right, I remember placing it in my bag. Eunbyeol was slowlying working herself up into a fit, Mrs Jin tried to calm Eunbyeol down and realise it would be best that they headed home first.

King's Holding, Seoul

Joo Dante's phone pinged.

'Eunbyeol is disqualified' was all the text said. He smirked, looking like the people who would probably stand in Seokyung's way are out. There should be no oppression to Seokkyung getting into SNU. 

Note: Yeah I am making Jenny more badass and tough, I hope you are okay with this change (:
