The seats were fully reserved, the tickets were sold out a day after the incident with chandelier.
The ambience around the theater was different tonight.

You could feel that all eyes were nailed solely on you and Jimin, following your every move, their curiosity over the new face of the main dancer as well as dark aura amplified the vibe of tragic love story depicted in four acts showcase. Especially after the accident that killed one of the most notable prima ballerina in the country, the news spread like wildfire and people were too excited to watch the show as well as checking the grand chandelier that became the talk of the crowd.

The huge lamp had been repaired and reinstalled, it looked exactly the same like before.
The weather outside was cold and cloudy, -it was beginning of winter, but it didn't deter your spirit to give your best.
Tonight was fundamental to your career, a feat to enrich your portfolio as stepping stone you needed to get invitation for main roles. Although deep inside you knew, now that you had Mr. Kim as your sponsor, several notable directors would look for you, you didn't need to seek out on them anymore.
You are spreading your wings wide and ready to soar high, embracing the result of all your hardwork.

You looked at Jimin, and as much as you mourned for your failed relationship, but at least you could still dance with him again, maybe for a few future showcases, hopefully. Mr. Kim never said anything about forbidding you to meet with him.
You were pretty satisfied just to be able to watch him from the side.

However, there was something different about Jimin tonight.

You rehearsed the performance with him almost ten times already, nailed every move flawlessly as the show director praised you everytime. The throbbing lingering ache around your toes and your hips were silent witness of your endeavor to master the role in a very short notice. You knew everyone would compare you with Sophia. So it was only natural you have to show them that you were far better than her to be matched with Jimin.

Aside from the one time you missed the practice, for the rest of them you were always punctual, practicing every move hundreds of time each, carefully set your diet and meal plan to meet your nutrition needs as well as maintain your stamina and frame.
You also had to practice the mind of steel, disregarded the vile look from other performers and uncomfortable atmosphere you had to endure.
