Time set : May 2022
[Dahee's pov]
I sighed when I didn't saw my name in the debut line up. I shut down my laptop and lay on the bed. Unknowingly my eyes fell on a picture. Me and Jungwon... a smile adored my face when I saw our picture of graduation day.
Me and Jungwon were rivals, striving for excellence. But deep down we knew we had feelings for each other and now, we are dating. We had the same dream, shining on stage, be an idol. Not only at school we fought for rank one, even at our agency it was just two of us alternating with the title of rank one. We practiced together, both of us got compliments. But obviously he won in the end. Leader of a global kpop boy group, Yang Jungwon of enhypen won. It was just two years ago when his name got announced to debut. Two years... is a lot.
Yes we are still together but I don't know anymore. I doubt the lovely feelings I had for Jungwon turned into jealousy. I am still a trainee while he already made his name in the industry. Am I that incompetent? I did not notice when the tear started blurring my vision. I love Jungwon but at time like this I hate him for succeeding before me. I started getting doubts.
Or worse... he is better than me, way better... I don't deserve him.
These thoughts always come into my mind. Jungwon deserves better. But I love him too much to leave and he does too. Not everyone would risk dating as an idol. But he... he stayed.
I heard the door of my bedroom open. I turned to the other side of bed to hide my tears. After half a second I felt the bed sink and an arm wrapped around me.
"I heard about the lineup." Jungwon muttered in a low voice. "I couldn't make it. I am sorry." Of course Jungwon had high hopes. "Look at me." He turned me around to face him as I did hesitantly. "You can cry." He said pulling me to his chest.
That was my last straw.
Jungwon's pov
My heart broke when I heard her crying in my arms but I could do anything. I patted her head as she let it all out. At this moment I hate her agency, she trained for two years now. She always came first in the monthly evaluation and has a fan base too. Why aren't those fuckers debuting her? If you think it's my agency then don't. Dahee left hybe after my debut to prevent dating rumours. The staffs and trainees knew we were dating but changing company costed her a lot. It's like starting from day one.
Moments later her sobs died down. "I think I am not enough for you Jungwon. I don't deserve you." I frowned hearing those words from her mouth. "Don't say like that baby. It's not your fault, it's producers who should be blamed. I've seen the selected member's background. Their rich parents must have stuffed a hefty amount for them." I reasoned out. "Besides you are already so talented that you can even debut as a soloist."
She chuckled on my sentence. "You went overboard Jungwon." I felt a sense of relief hearing her laugh. "Thanks Jungwon. For always being with me." I caressed her hair with a smile.
"Anything for you baby. I hope you debut soon and we will be mc together and our fans would ship us." She laughed before responding. "Sure"
Two years later
"woah he looks so good." Dahee mumbled watching her boyfriend's new music video "No Doubt." (go and watch!). "Are you scared that our group won't win this time?" Jungwon popped out of nowhere giving her a jump scare. "I almost got a heart attack and no I trust my fans, we will win inkigayo this time too." So yeah Dahee debuted in a global girl group through a survival show and they are doing really good. They had their first comeback few days before enhypen's. "Really? Mind you when it comes to voting engenes are the best."
Jungwon defended his fandom making Dahee roll her eyes. "Yeah yeah. All you do is engene this, engene that. But if this time you lose then you have to buy me dinner."
"Ok deal."
The end :]
Let's hope they win music shows this comeback!
Or are you guys boycotting it?
