Be With You

"1, 2, 3! Chin up! Move your hips! Posture!"

While my hand placed on my waist, chin up and began to walk on the stage with the other candidates, my eyes were wandering around the whole place trying to find someone from the bleachers while I made sure that I tried so hard to follow all the instructions from our pageant coach.

We have been rehearsing for two hours now. It was kind of exhausting but I had to keep on reminding myself why I joined here in the first place.

Laughing with my co-candidates from other departments after our coach made funny remarks, I wiped the sweat from my nape using my handkerchief and continued to listen to what she had to say, giving some advice that we needed to do for the upcoming event.

It was already 3pm in the afternoon and it was too hot, luckily I decided to wear my black racer back partnered with black sweatpants. Also Quen reminded me to use one of his caps that I took on his car a while ago.

The rehearsal that we're doing is documented by the filming department but Quen wasn't there since he has training for the upcoming basketball game.

But Tanya was there, with her team busy filming the whole rehearsal session. We had eye contact multiple times but I tried my best to just ignore her.

I know what I want and she has nothing to do with it. She already said what she wants right? I don't need to hear additional drama from her.

An excited smile crept on my lips when I saw that my friends were coming and sat on the bleachers.

and there he is, my Quen quietly sitting on the bleachers with a gym bag hanging on his shoulders looking so fresh from his training.

"I heard Jung will be assigned to the film department to take photos for all the candidates." I heard a flirty giggle from one of the candidates. Ah, yes she's from the tourism department.

"Should I wear a bikini then?" a candidate from the engineering department commented. "Is he dating anyone right now? Maybe I should ask him while we're doing shoots?"

I internally rolled my eyes as I heard them continue to talk about Quen.

This is not definitely not the first time I heard this kind of conversation from girls in every department since Quen was very famous in our university but of course hearing this kind of stuff was different now.

I ignored them and diverted my gaze where my friends were seated. Consciously aware that some girls are gawking at Quen. I waved my hand to my friends but my eyes were definitely looking at the man whose attention was only to me.
