The next morning, I woke up to the familiar buzz of my phone vibrating against my nightstand. Groggy, I reached for it, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. As the screen lit up, I saw a message from Eva. My heart skipped a beat as I opened the text.
Eva:Hey, I auditioned for JYP!
I blinked at the screen, a mix of excitement and nerves washing over me. The girl I had just watched dance so passionately was now telling me about her audition. I couldn't help but feel proud of her. But I also felt a little guilty. Did I really want to mention that I had seen her audition video? It felt too intrusive, too personal.
I quickly typed a response, trying to keep my excitement in check.
Me:That's awesome! How do you think it went?
I hit send and sat up, feeling my heart race. I was curious about her experience but also nervous about how our conversation would go. Would she want to talk about it, or would it feel awkward?
A few moments later, my phone buzzed again.
Eva:I think I did well! I was so nervous, but I really enjoyed dancing. I just hope they liked me!
I smiled at her enthusiasm. She sounded genuinely excited, and I could easily imagine her vibrant energy shining through her performance.
Me:I'm sure they did! You've got the talent for it. What did you dance to?
As I waited for her reply, I couldn't help but replay the video in my mind—the way she moved, the confidence she exuded, and that bright smile at the end. She had something special, something that could easily catch the eyes of the judges.
Eva:I did a choreo to Mantra by Jennie ! It was such a fun routine!
The anonymity felt safer, and I didn't want to complicate things just yet.
Me:Nice! I bet you nailed it! Mantra is my favourite song!
Eva:I hope so! They told us they'd announce the results soon. I'm so nervous but also excited! I did not audition for the sake of joining, my friends made me do it, but now as i submitted it i can't help but wish i am a part of JYP!
My heart ached for her; I remembered my own auditions and the mix of hope and anxiety that came with waiting for the results.
Me:Just remember, no matter what happens, you should be proud of yourself for putting yourself out there. That takes a lot of courage!
I hit send and leaned back against my pillows, feeling a strange sense of connection with her. There was something comforting about knowing we both understood the pressures of performance, even if we were in different worlds.
Eva:Thank you! That means a lot to me! 😊
As I read her response, I felt a warmth spread through me. It was nice to be a source of encouragement for her, especially since she didn't know who I really was. The thought of her not linking me to the idol life I lived made me feel a little freer.
Me:Any plans while you wait for the results?
Eva:Just practicing more and trying not to overthink it. Maybe hang out with friends later. What about you?
I paused for a moment, contemplating my reply. The truth was, my schedule was packed with practices and commitments. But I didn't want to get into that right now. I wanted our conversation to remain light, to feel more like friends than anything else.
Me:Same here! Just keeping busy, you know?
Eva:Haha, I get that! It's always good to stay busy. Let's both keep working hard!
We continued exchanging messages, sharing our thoughts and laughter. I found myself feeling more and more at ease with her, enjoying the simplicity of our conversation. The nervous energy I felt earlier faded away, replaced by a genuine connection that felt refreshing.
As I set my phone down after our chat, I couldn't shake the thought of Eva dancing so passionately for the audition. A small part of me wished I could tell her how great she was, but for now, I was content just being "Lix," the supportive friend in her corner.
But as I settled back into my day, I couldn't help but wonder what would happen when the results were announced. Would our paths cross in ways I hadn't anticipated? Would she find out who I truly was? Only time would tell, and for now, I was okay with letting things unfold naturally.
(A/N: Oh i think I drank too much coffee. I can't stop writing! Is it my 3rd update now?)
