Winter <aespa>

(Suggested) -newjeans 6th member
1st person.

Being in one of the most popular k-pop in 5th gen was not easy. Constantly competing for wins and streams. We're all friends, just with tension.
Her stupid blonde hair and perfect face. I hated her.
She had me cornered, she was better at singing, had more fans and was adored more by others than me.
Was it hatred, jealousy or love. Couldn't say.

Supernova took the world by storm. The perfect all-kill song. Everything that Winter is around turns to gold. I don't know if I want to be her, or be with her.

I watched Winter on stage, she moved so elegantly yet powerful. All of aespa were great, but I couldn't take my eyes away from her.
I find myself captivated by her every move.
I hated how much I loved her.

Stepping on the stage felt different when I know she was watching. I danced with my members and focused on the fans yet, I still couldn't shake her out my mind.
She was embedding and infesting my thoughts.

I found my eyes scanning for her while performing 'How Sweet'.
To my surprise, she was already looking straight at me. Our eyes lock, smiling she looks away.
What's that supposed to mean ?
I don't know why what Winter thought of me was so important, but for some reason I wanted her to like me.

"Yeah, don't you know sweet it taste"

My mouth sang the words, but my mind was still stuck on her. I moved on auto-pilot as I took quick glances at Winter.
She's so gorgeous I nearly miss a step.
She's so perfect, I don't think I ever hated her.
The line between love and hate, blurred in competition.

"Look it's a new me, switched it up who's this?"

I was able to focus on the performance and fans after my sudden, unexpected realisation.

"New hair, new tee, new jeans, you and me."

I walked the halls backstage with Hyein, lagging behind the other members.
We smiled and laughed as we reminisced on the performance we just showcased.

"Hi, (y/n)?" I hear from behind me, causing my steps to falter. My heart fluttering for an unknown reason. I turn around to be met with the one and only. Winter. Kim Min-jeong.

Hyein looks at me and back at Winter,
"I'll meet you outside." She whispers into my ear, breaking me out of a trance.
"Okay, thank you." I smile, watching as she walks away.

I turn back to Winter unsure watch to say. Did I feel intimidated or excited? Don't know.

"So.." I start stretching the 'O' messing with my hands.

"I was just going to ask if maybe go out some time." She looks.. nervous? "Maybe out to eat, only if you want."

I blink processing what she said, looking at the eager and giddy expression on her face.
She still looked so damn pretty.

"Erm.. sure !" I reply looking into her eyes, I give my phone for her to put in her number. If she noticed my hands slightly shaking she didn't say anything.

"There you go" She says, our hands grazing each others gently. I smile.

"Well, I have to go, but i'll talk to you later." Winter grins widely at me, making me forget how to breathe.
"Okay." I reply, with a big exhale of air.

I watch as she quickly races her way down the hallway to Karina, who I had no idea was there.
I clutch my phone tightly in my hand as if it was going to grow wings and fly away.

I turn around with a hop in my step towards the exit, I guess I never really did hate her.

How sweet.
