Chapter 10

Putting on their outfits, the other members were setting up the speaker and area where they would dance. Most of them were already in full makeup and in costume.

Jieun wore a cropped suit like top with strings that wrapped around her torso. The pink top matched the pink heeled boots laced with black strings. To finish it off, she wore a white skirt.

Yin looked amazing with her large pink cargo pants with chains hanging from a white belt. Her top was a white cropped hoodie with the lettering of pink that dripped down.

"You're looking stylish," Jieun complimented. Yin smiled and nodded her head. She was still feeling upset over Byungho not being here.

The sun was starting to set as the city lights glowed in the darkness around them. Streetlights filled the sidewalk, allowing people to see their feet in front of them.

"Jieun!" Hearing her name, she turned to find Wooyeon standing there. He held out a flower to give to her. "I got you something for having an amazing performance."

"I haven't even performed yet."

Shrugging his shoulders, he shook the flower, signally for her to take it. Jieun grabbed the purple flower and smelled it. The scent wasn't too strong, but she still smiled and thanked him.

"Jieun, we are performing now," Beom urged her.

"I have to leave now. I'll talk more afterward," Jieun signed as Beom took her hand and pulled her to the center of the clearing.

She stood in her spot ready to perform the new cover they'd been working on. Hitting the play button, the familiar music of "Kick It" by NCT 127 blew out of the speakers. Yin stood in the center replicating Taeyong's part in the intro.

As the first chorus played, Yin performed right in the front and then switched over to Sumi. She didn't quite execute with enough power, but Sumi wasn't focused on becoming a brilliant dancer.

Heading into the first verse, Jieun and Beom performed the duet part. Body waving up, she mouthed some of the lyrics as the others filed in on the side to switch the perspective and allowed Jieun and Beom to move out of the way to get ready for the next formation.

Chaewon took the center next and did a decent job of giving off emotions to the audience.

The audience was cheering and singing along with the song as some even waved their hands back and forth. Similes were littered all across their faces as they watched COS:MIC perform.

Returning back to the chorus, Yeojin took center as they walked forward. Hands in the air with her hand clamped into a fist. Taking three steps, they would stop and rock their hips before repeating it again.

As they changed formations Hyerin moved to the center. She had a softness in her eyes, but her body moved sharply.

The song continued and when they got to the dance break, Yin was in the center of the circle. She kicked, punched, and leaped around before kicking herself off of Sumi's leg. Jieun took center as they started to finish out the song.

Out of the corner of her eye, Jieun noticed the male with the hoodie on. She smiled to herself immediately knowing who it was. This time he wasn't alone. A few other figures stood next to him. Jieun just figured that he brought some of his members along.

When the song ended, Jieun gasped for breath. Her lungs were screaming and she hurried to drink her water.

Beom dug into her bag and pulled out Jieun's inhaler. Giving her a quick nod of gratitude, she breathed into the device which calmed her body down.
