The Promise (And I Will Still Find You)

Chapteê 15 [MAMA D-Day]

Twice is in the waiting room when the staff tells them to get ready.

"Are you ready y/n?" Jihyo ask.

"Yes unnie but very nervous right now" she said with a worried tone.

Jihyo cupped her checks.

"Hey--hey, that's normal, you can do this...hmm?" i nod and smiled, my other unnies reassured me and patted my head.

"TWICE, LET'S GO" Jihyo unnie shouted.

"Fighting" we all chant..

After the performance, I felt relieved, but a little bit dizzy. I shook my head, but when we returned to the waiting room, the manager suddenly stopped me.

"Y/n" she called.

"Nehh?"

"We need you right now." I am a little bit confused.

When I turned my gaze to Jihyo Unnie, she just smiled and nodded.

Upon arrival at the IU Unnie waiting room, I am somewhat taken aback because the coordinator or MAMA is also present.

"What's happening?" I sincerely ask.

"They made a mistake. After we perform, you have to perform again for your dance collab." IU unnie explained to me.

"This is serious... what should we do now? hmmm...." I think for a moment.

"We can do this"

"How?"

"We need some changes. Since we will be singing, we need to reduce the choreography so it will not be difficult for me. After we perform, Sir, I need you to play something to pass the time."

They all agree on my idea. As I looked towards IU unnie.

"and i need shoes, unnie." she nod.

After a while

"Y/n"

"Y/nnnie"

"BAE, YNNNNNN." I didn't realize that I spaced out and didn't hear her.

"What's wrong, unnie?"

She placed her hand on my forehead and said, "Your burning."

"Huh?"

"I said you have a fever"

"But I didn't feel it."

"It's best to cancel this and head to the hospital instead."

"No, Unnie, we must do this."

"Don't be stubborn" she worriedly said.

"Unnie i'm okay, please... we work hard for this"

"But y/nie"

"Beside they are waiting, our fans, my unnies... It's my final decision unnie"

"Please y/n, I don't want anything to happen to you"

"Nothing is going to happen, unnie."
I take hold of her hand.

I assured her and put a smile on my face.

"5 minutes", said the staff.

'Neeeeh' and I reach for her hand.

"Let's go, unnie."

We are now backstage, and any minute we will be performing. My heart is hurting again, just like before.

I quietly closed my eyes and prayed. (Please not now, I need to do this)
