Episode 2
Previous chapter:
If you are not one of the 12 people, you will be released to the ground, the space of dropouts. "Ground?" You will conduct another voting to decide the 5 members to be eliminated. "What? No way. Again voting?" I was shocked by the announcement The elimination will proceed in 2 hours.
A timer suddenly showed up on the screen and started counting down from 2 hours.
"This is freaking me out..."
Current Chapter:
Aera's POV
We were all still at the egg like gate, still trying to process everything. No one wanted to vote again.
"Let's explore a little!" someone said and everyone put their bag down including me. I didn't really have anyone to stick to and Heeseung was talking with someone else in the front of of the group. We all went to the huge practice room, I stood at the door and just looked inside.
I don't feel like socializing right now...
I turned around and entered the room in front of me, it was a individual practice room. I loved it a lot "This is perfect..." I started dancing a little to the music playing in my head "Oh! I'm sorry!" I turned around and saw the guy from the Any Song unit, he turned around and was about to leave "Ej-ssi?" "Yes??" "Oh so that is your name sorry I was trying to find your name because I am very forgetful, but I didn't wanna say that! I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your performance it was really refreshing and your voice is very pretty!" I said
I feel like I said way too much....
"Oh, really? Thank you! This really made me feel a lot better, especially because your performance was amazing. I loved it, Aera-ssi" he said smiling
I feel like his smile could just purify the world-
"Ah, thank you, Ej-ssi" I smiled at him "Uhm do you mind sticking with me and discovering this weird huge cube-like building?" he asked nervously "I don't mind at all!"
We walked out of the individual practice room laughing and talking about random stuff, as we stood outside of the room everyone else was looking at us suspiciously. I stopped talking and cleared my throat "Uh, Ej-ssi. I think that it's better if I just explore on my own.." I walked away feeling anxious as everyone's eyes finally left me, I decided to walk up the stairs near the practice rooms.
This is just who I am, introverted and extroverted. I can handle social interaction very well and I enjoy it a lot, though when I felt all eyes on me it's just too much. I have mild social anxiety, but I'm trying to overcome it. One of my brothers friend always helps me with it, because he also suffers from this anxiety.
Once I got up the stairs I saw another individual practice room and a closed off room, I opened the door and entered the room. I saw a screen with the I-land logo on but nothing more "This is probably the voting room.." I said and exited the room.
