Hongjong || Seonghwa

Today was finally day. I woke up somewhat excited for what this day had to offer. I was eager to present my work to the judges, possibly shocking them with it. 

I knew it was good, I had put days and days of work into that piece. 

They have to like it, I am sure they will. 

As I was done with my shower, I spent a while just drying my hair with a towel, trying to get it to be as neat and nice as possible. 

I ironed my outfit and as I softly took care of my face covering the bruise I had on my face with the concealer I recently bought. 

I sprayed from perfume before slowly putting my watch on as I looked at myself in the mirror. It felt weird to be all dressed up like this. 

I didn't hate it, it's the best I've looked in a while but It was just hard to look at. 

I pushed my hair back slowly behind my ear as I gulped heading out putting my shoes on before heading from the back door.

I put my papers in my new bag, heading to the hideout a little early to rehears once and for a all before bringing my set with me to school. 

As I entered the gates, I saw students from different majors, each holding up their projects, someone looked nervous, while eithers just clearly didn't want to be here. 

As my eyes travelled the students around, I seemed to notice a couple ones that seemed.. somewhat excited. 

Maybe a little to excited for comfort. 

They seemed to be chatting with each other, laughing and even hugging one another. It wasn't unusual, I knew them for a while now, they've always been this happy and excited. 

But somehow today felt different. They weren't their usual type of happy, it felt almost hard to decipher. 

I found myself eyeing them slowly as I approached them, and when I had gotten close enough to heard their talking, I simply looking away and mostly down trying to avoid their gazes and expressions.

However to my surprise, Yunho had stopped me and as I looked at him, he simply had a smug smile as he said. 

"Good luck with your project hyung."

I didn't know how I was supposed to take in that information. Was I supposed to be happy? or afraid?

I simply looked at Yunho for a while taking my hand back as I nodded my head at him. 

"Thank.. you"

I looked back at them, my eyes locked with Yeosang's eyes and I could almost sense his worry. I gave him a little smile as I walked away, going to put my piece in the display room. 

Our homeroom teacher especially warned us to have everything in there an hour earlier. As I walked in, I searched for an empty place to fit my piece looking a little around at the other projects. 

I suddenly started to feel nervous and anxious and my presentation. It had only hit me, that in barely one hour, I'd be standing in front of judges presenting my work and finally seeing if I'd be able to get my degree or not. 

I don't think I'd be ready to ever find out though. 

If by any chance, they don't appreciate my work and end up not handing me any degree. I'd loose it. I haven't thought of any alternatives to that.

I worked so hard to ensure my first and initial plan, running away with a degree, would be a success. I really don't have anything left in case I receive a degree today.
