MINJU'S POV

Since early I went out of the bedroom and went down, Eomma was not yet awake so I went out of our house and I'll just commute. I also asked the address to Oppa and I could go, I had enough money I was so okay. I hailed a taxi and told the driver the address, when it got up it was very quiet so I took out my earphones and just played. I used to talk to Oppa, but Oppa wasn't with me. When I arrived I immediately got out of the car and paid the driver, I entered the building and immediately entered the elevator.

I hit the 3rd floor, I waited a few more minutes. I'm also nervous because the elevator might have stopped and I don't have anyone with me, I breathed a sigh of relief as I reached my destination. When I got in there weren't too many people so I just sang, maybe someone will come in again and then say my voice is good. And hopefully Jeonghan will be the one to hear, because he seemed disappointed when I said Jungkook was the first to hear.

"I was down my dreams were wearing thin" I started.

"When you're lost where do you begin

My heart always seemed to drift from day to day

Looking for the love that never came my way"

I stopped singing when someone applauded, I knew it wasn't Jeonghan so when I turned around I was surprised to see ... Jeonghan applauded.

"Jungkook's right, your voice is beautiful." He complains me.

"T- thank you..." I said.

"You're early, I texted Mingyu he said you're not at your house anymore. I'm worried I thought you weren't going." He said to me.

"I'm going because Eomma and I will fight otherwise, I don't want to fight with Eomma anymore because it's too noisy." i replied.

"Do you have a problem with your Eomma?" he ask.

"Yes..." I answered.

"Mind if you share your problem with your Eomma?" He ask.

"But it's okay if you don't want to, I'm not forcing you." he added.

"I will say my Eomma and I have a problem, I want to throw out my anger." I replied.

"Okay go on." He said.

I sighed and spoke. "I'm so tired to be her daughter." I said.

"I can't feel her love for me, I just did everything but she doesn't seem to notice my presence. I agreed to this workshop because I don't want us to fight, I'm already jealous of Oppa because Eomma still takes good care of him. Me? No, I didn't show him all my awards at school because I knew he would compare me to Oppa again,So sometimes I think. What if Appa was still here, what if he hadn't disappeared? I'm tired of Eomma, it's too much." I explain.

"Mingyu is the only one he cares about and pays attention to? What attitude does she show when you are in front of her?" He ask.

"Her attitude to me when I'm at her front? Tsk, that attitude like she doesn't want to see me one day, like that." I answered.

Jeonghan fell silent, I knew he wanted to speak but he couldn't continue. We just kept quiet until there were more people, the woman with short hair, wearing a white dress and shoes. She was staring at Jeonghan, sometimes when she looked at me every time I was close to Jeonghan she looked worse. Obviously likes Jeonghan. I just ignored his stares, as if he wanted to kill me because I was close to Jeonghan. When it started, we were grouped into ten, because so many people joined.

We had something to do per group, we were given a script. The scripts are not familiar but our coach does explain to us on what to do per line, and each group also has coaches. It's in different countries so it's okay, after discussing with the coaches, my group mates and I had a meeting, it was a good thing that Jeonghan became my group mate. And I can feel the stare of the woman with short hair, I won't take Jeonghan away from her. Her stare was really disgusting so I also looked at her badly, she immediately averted her gaze so I could breathe easily.

"Is what I said is clear? This is how we do it, I know we're nervous but we cando it okay?" I said, calming their hearts.

"Let's trust ourselves, we can handle it." Jeonghan's consolation.

Other groups have already performed, while we are especially nervous. Will the outcome of our performance be good?

"Next is Jeonghan and Minju's group." coach calls our team.

We got up and went in front of the trainees, our groupmates started acting. Jeonghan and I will be in the scene later, yes Jeonghan and I will be acting because our role is to be in a relationship. That girl with a short hair glares at me, it's just an acting. When Jeonghan and I left, I took a deep breath and started.

"Why did you do that to me? All I did in this relationship was understand you and everything but why did you still manage to fool me?!" I said.

It's just an acting, isn't it?

"Let me explain, everything you saw and heard was wrong, I can't do that to you." He said.

"What did I see? He kissed you but you didn't even push her or anything?!" I acted that I ask him.

"I didn't expect that, I was also shocked. Please forgive me." he said.

"I can't forgive you because of what I saw that al-" I was cut off from what I was about to say when he suddenly kissed me.

He kissed me on the... lips, I didn't expect it. He was my first kiss, how do I feel. My heart is beating faster, please stay away. When I felt Jeonghan's lips move away from mine I looked at him, I looked badly at him. To my surprise, the coaches, as well as those on the other team, suddenly applauded. I saw that the woman with short hair was looking at me badly, I just turned away and looked at my groupmates and Jeonghan.

"Your performance is very good, there are different concepts but in your group and that is what we are looking for." the coach said.

We went back to our place, our workshop ended early so Jeonghan and I had a "friendly" date right away. We were walking quietly, so I wasn't used to it. When we're the ones together, sometimes it's noisy, sometimes it's not.

"Uhm Minju?" he called me.

"Yes?" I answered.

"About what happened earlier, I'm sorry." he said.

"Okay, ours was worth it." I replied.

"You're not mad?" He ask.

"Why would I get mad? Our performance is okay." I answered.

Actually, I'm not angry. There was a part of me that liked the kiss, there was a part of me that I was nervous. Nervous about how I would feel for Jeonghan, my feelings were worse for him.

This is hard.
