After organizing myself, I sang alone while waiting for Jimin's text; an uneasy feel permeated inside me. Walking down the stairs as I received Jimin's text.


"Stunning!" Jimin smiled as he glanced at my outfit; a sparkling white gauze dress that reaches just above my knees, a pair of silver high heels that clicks when I walk, my hair tied into a messy bun and a long crystal earring hanging down my right ear. 

"Thanks, you do look mature in a suit." I said. 

"Really?" Jimin smiled as he start walking.

I followed up and quizzed:"Are you nervous?""About what?""About the performance tonight." I added. "Who doesn't have stage frights? At least we aren't alone." he laughed."True, I hate to perform in front of people, though somehow I still want to be recognized for my 'talents'. Aren't I just a selfish person." I commented with a laugh."I know this sound old but the truth is there are different types of people you will encounter in life, some people are more open to others and other who doesn't like to stand in front of people.


No matter which type of personality you have we always have to live this life, and the mature way of solving the problem is coming out with a solution that's most suitable for yourself."

"We know your smart Professor Park, you don't have to show off." I joked.Suddenly, Jimin looked at me with a serious expression and said:"I'm serious, if you have any problems that bothers you, feel free to message me anytime." I didn't know why Jimin said that the way he did but it felt awkward to ask so I teased Jimin by saying:"Now you've eventually evolved into a Councillor." 


Jimin gave a small chuckle as we reach the entrance of 'prom'.

Handed the girl my ticket as I grabbed a drink from a table, I scanned around to to look for Jungkook but I can't seem to find them anywhere, maybe he's still practicing with his partner? Embarrassingly, I do realize that I care about Jungkook more than I think and maybe it's time to admit it.


The crowd sat down in their seats and the performers sat down in their performing order. I gazed around as I made an eye contact with Jungkook, I gave him a little wave and mouthed hi. The president soon came upon the stage and made a five minute speech, after that a student came to announce the first show that's going to be performed.


After watching a few performances i already feel sweat covering my hands, I was afraid that Jungkook would see me and Jimin's performance; I instantly regret accepting Jimin's invitation. What if Jungkook gets angry? 


 The sudden blast that came from the speaker interrupted my thoughts as I hear "Now it's time for Park Jimin and Lee Jieun to perform their song, round of applause for them please."


Stumbled up from my seat as Jimin gave me a hand, I nodded with a smile in return knowing my face was red from embarrassment; I let go of Jimins hand. Almost walking by Jungkook's seat I felt nervous, but surprisingly it was empty.


I let out a small sigh as we entered the stage, Jimin gently whispers:"We can do it!" 

We both sat on the piano seat after the crowd fell into silence. Gently, my fingers danced on the keys as me and Jimin sang, I glanced at Jimin as he looks back -his eyes filled with confident and sparkles, it some how cheered me up- at me.

Minutes after, we ended our song with a silence crowd. I felt nervous, did they not enjoy our performance? After a few seconds, the crowd exploded into cheers, screams, and applause, I looked at Jimin with a grim as he mouthed:"Nice job!"Quickly I exited the stage as Jimin followed, he asks:"Why are you walking so fast?" "Nothing..." I replied as I felt glad I got this over with while Jungkook was still away.
