[ ep 3.0 ]

keita then did the killing part, he seemed so relaxed doing it. it was as if the killing part belonged to him. "cmon we already know who" I said.

"Okay let's vote " I clapped my hands together, and everyone voted for Keita. who cutely showed us gratitude with his whole body.

did I mention that Kuanjui was learning the dance in a split? I was shocked to the max because DAMN. anyway, we proceeded to learn the choreography. 

Chen Kuan Jui learnt the choreography really really quickly, so after a few watches he began teaching us the choreography.  soon, we caught up with Group K who was quite ahead of us at the start.

we begin practicing nonstop. until the sun went down, and the moon came up. my stomach started hurting though.

it felt like something twisted my stomach so tight and wouldn't untwist it, in addition to that someone was also punching me in the stomach nonstop.

I tried to ignore the pain as we continued practicing but the stomach pain was stealing my focus. I couldn't focus, sweat beads increased at least 3 times, and goosebumps also formed.

fuck. it hurts. "jiaqi, are you okay?" Keita asked me as I clenched my stomach. I lightly nodded. "okay let's take a break" Keita said.

they all surrounded me, kuanjui helped me grab my bottle and open it for me. I drank the water but the pain wasn't going away.

what could be the cause? fuck. FUCK. fuck. no way it's the time of the month. I always get very painful cramps, I swear it would've given me abs from the pain I have to endure.

" I'll go to the toilet for a while" I told them and they nodded and told me to be careful. even moving around was painful, I clutched onto my stomach and used the walls outside the studio to support myself then headed for the girls' toilet.

I checked and damn it. it was a pool of red. it didn't stain my pants, thank lord. but out of all the time, it decided to come right now.

I wiped it a little, then went out. I was about to go to the dorms when Matthew surprised me outside. "Matthew hyung, I'll go to the dorm to get something I'll be right back" I told him.

he offered to follow me but I refused, asking him to go back and continue the practice, and also to tell the others I was okay.

I then made my way to the dorm and to my room. taking my sanitary pad, a new undergarment, and a plastic bag to throw my current fully red one away.

After I was done cleaning up, I went back to the studio to practice again.

the star masters came to check our choreography and I wasn't feeling the best. my stomach was killing me, but we'll have to perform so I guess I have to try to not let it get to me.

we started off well, but then on my part, I felt a nudge in my stomach and couldn't sing or dance properly. everyone else did very well though. it was just me.

the star masters proceeded to praise everyone. everyone but me. " jiaqi, you're an all-star what is this"

"my son dances better than you "
" you are not prepared, I have nothing to say about you"
" don't think that just because you're the only girl you wouldn't get eliminated.  don't test water"
"youre dragging your team down"

I wasn't. My stomach wasn't letting me function properly. that was the harshest evaluation I've ever experienced. As soon as the star masters left, a tear rolled down my face.

I'm not sure if it was from the physical pain or...

"Are you okay?" just like that, tears started streaming down my face. "do you still have cramps?" zhang hao asked and I nodded. 

" I'm sorry," I told my team. I'm sorry for pulling them down. I'm sorry for not performing well and not meeting their expectations.  I'm sorry for bringing the mood down. I'm sorry for crying. I'm sorry.

"no, don't be sorry. you did nothing wrong jiaqi" they told me, and they hugged me. comforted me. they're like the big brothers I never had.

zhang hao brought me a cup of warm water and a heating pack. they sat with me at the corner of the studio for a while in silence. their silence was comforting, to say the least.

I drank the warm water and placed the heating pack on my stomach. "别哭了(stop crying alright)" Kuanjui told me and ruffled my hair. then gave me a side hug before going back to practice.

Min also went back to practice after ruffling my hair. I leaned on Keita's shoulder as he was beside me and sniffled a little.

"alright alright, do you want ice cream later?" he asked and I nodded. "okay, let's continue practicing" he said and I nodded. zhang hao stood up first and held his hand out for me.

I took it finishing all the warm water he got for me and placed the heating pack aside. they all ruffled my hair and now it looks like a birds nest. I retied my hair before joining them to practice.
