CHAPTER | 006
A month has passed since the show started. three constants have now been eliminated and you have been trying your best to get out ever since the first trainee left. many people started to notice your lack of effort and started to call you out for it while your 'fans' argued for you, saying that you must be tired. yet still your rank has not changed. you're still ranked A while many have moved down. including nabi. the two of you were shock when jungkook was the one who moved her rank down, saying she needs more training. yet when the judges start saying stuff like that to you, he always makes excuses on your behalf which annoys you. his words and influence are the reason why you still haven't left.
you headed to the place where the note you found on your bed said. there you saw nabi. everyone else was asleep so no one would see you two nor would the camera. "any news?" you asked. nabi has been trying her best to contact jungkook and tell him to pay less attention on you or else it seem bias. people have already been spreading rumors that the two of you have been secretly dating because of the amount of attention he gives you. "no. he won't even look at me. he has completely changed when i first met him" nabi said. you sigh and shake your head. "it's clear that he won't stop until he makes me an idol. i have already came up with an idea. i plan having a mental breakdown so the producers won't have a choice but to kick me out" you said. "do you think they will believe you?" nabi asked and you nodded. "they will. after all, i used to suffer from depression and anxiety. it will work out well. i mean it's common for trainees to get depressed" you shrugged.
"aren't you worry about the popularity you have gotten" nabi asked. of course you are. you have become everyone's favorite trainee. both in korea and international. people found your social media accounts and started following you. your life is now different because of this stupid show. if jungkook didn't pay any attention on you, maybe you won't be have been this popular but he did so now you have no choice but to suffer the consequences. "i don't care about it. if i keep it or not after i leave this shit place. honestly once the group debuts, i might just tell the truth so they can leave me alone and stop convincing me to sign with other labels" you said. "i overhead the staff talking yesterday about you. apparently many labels are ready to sign you up. some even tried to convince the staff to rig the vote so you could lose" nabi replied.
"tomorrow is the evaluation. i purposely made sure not to have the dance. heck i might even make myself trick or skip a whole line of the song to get myself out" you said. "you sure got lucky with that talent of yours. i trained since i was little to become an idol. my voice wasn't good enough for my family so i tried so hard to live up their expectations. yet you were born with it" nabi said which made you laugh. "you really think i was born with talent? i worked hard too. especially to beat that annoying cousin of mine. always bragging how many people love his voice. i just wanted to make him shut up so i started practicing. look nabi, you don't need your family's approval. it took me years to learn that. you're an amazing singer. you're destined to be an idol. don't give up" you said. "well, i'm going to bed now. see you tomorrow. i hope you keep your rank" you smile and wave before walking.
"so why is (y/n) trying to get out of this show" nabi's eyes widened when she saw jungkook walk out of the dark. "w-what are you doing here? how did you get in?" nabi asked. "can't i come see my girlfriend" he asked as he walks up to her and caress her cheek. "you have been ignoring me" she pushes his hand away. "i'm sorry. i have been so busy lately. you know how the life of an idol is" he said. "so tell why (y/n) desperately wants to leave?" jungkook asked as he holds her hands. "why would i tell you? you will just give her more attention and have her stay" nabi answered. "don't tell me you're mad because of that? should i give you more attention?" he leans towards her face whip made her blush. "s-she never wanted to be an idol" nabi burst out. "really? she has the talent for one" jungkook said. "she told me herself that her dream is to be a lawyer" nabi said. "a lawyer? so why enter the show" he asked as he pulls nabi into a hug which made her heart race. "s-she is covering for the real contestant 24. she said that contestant 24 is in a coma" nabi said.
"are you sure she wasn't lying to you? what if she hurt contestant 24 to be in here?" he asked. "that's what i thought too so i asked someone to do a background check and her story is true. she really doesn't want to be an idol" nabi said. "i see...you should go to bed. you have your evaluation and you need a good sleep if you're going to perform. sleep well" he kisses her forehead. "goodnight" she smiles and waves before running back to her room. once she was gone, jungkook's facial expression changed. "ugh, disgusting" he wipes his lips off. "nabi, you're so naive. that's why i agreed to be your boyfriend. you will do whatever i say because you love me. i would have gone after your sister but she wouldn't have been this easy to manipulate" jungkook said.
"but (l/n) (y/n)...she seems more fun to mess with"
