Jennie's POV

"And our next judge. Is an actor, model, influencer, dancer, song writer, and one of the leading man of the upcoming movie titled 'Be with you'. And one of the hottest rising actor of this generation. Let's us give him a around of applause. Mr. Kim Jongin!!"

I was going crazy. I closed my eyes a few times, trying to see someone else but I was him. Kai was seating in front of me, in back of my friends, and in back of Lisa .

In that moment, when I heard what the host said, I felt all my blood in my body stop, to then run through my veins, pumping my heart so fast that I could hear it's beating in my ears. I felt my body sweat, my knees started to get weak, and my voice disappear.

Kai is here....

"Jennie, are you okay? Honey, let's go, let's change your clothes"Hindi ko namamalayan kung paano nakarating sa dressing room nang tulala.

Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko, mananatili nalang dito sa backstage? Aalis? Hindi na itutuloy ang pageant na ito? Hindi ko alam.

Pero ang isipin ang mga buwan na pinag pagudan ko ay parang gusto kong isawalang bahala muna ang lahat nang nararamdaman ko ngayon. I want my parent to be proud of me again. Gusto ko silang matuwa once na manalo ako.

Pero paano? I don't know kung anong gawin ko.

Kai is here. He's one of the judges panel. He was there, watching me. He was there, staring at me.

Parang bumalik sa akin ang ng memories na meron kaming dalawa. Noong panahon na masaya pa kaming dalawa hanggang sa umabot na kailangan naming mag hiwalay.

"Fuck"Ganun nalang ang pag sapo ko sa aking mukha at hindi alam kung iiyak na o ano. Hindi ko talaga alam ang gagawin ko.

"Jen, are you okay? Kailangan mo nang magpalit"Napatingin naman ako kina Darlin na ngayon ay nandito upang suportahan ako. Nag laan talaga sila ng oras for me. Even them, napagod at napuyat dahil ko.

Ganun nalang ang pag hinga ko nang malalim bago tumayo na at sumama sa kanila. I need to continue this pageant. Madaming may didisappoint if umatras ako.

I'm here for the title, not for him. Not for Kai!

I changed my clothes into pink fitted dress, above knee pairs with my black heels. Pare-pareho kami ng kulay ng dress dahil iyon ang sinabi sa aming ng panel.

After that, niretouch nila ako and sinamahan ulit na pumunta sa may line.

Please, focus, Jennie. Focus!

Take a breath, okay? Don't be nervous, love, ha? Just enjoy this pageant and always smile. We're here, we're going to support you...

Good luck, love. I'm so proud of you...

"Lisa...."Nasabi ko nang maalala ang mga sinabi n'ya sa akin kanina. I don't know but I want him here beside me, to hug me and tell me that this pageant will be fine.

I shake my hands and take a deep breath. Kailangan naming bumalik sa stage because sasabihin na agad ang special awards. Nag scanning na kase and may mga may makakakuha na agad ng awards.

Nang sabihin ng organizer na lumabas na kami ay sunod-sunod kaming rumampa making the crowd went wild. Nakita ko pa sina Lisa na ngayon ay pumalakpak habang ang aking mga kaibigan ay katulad ko na parang balisa because Kai's here.
