Euphoria- Park Jong-Seong

CH:3

"The fourth dropout received 6 votes......Ej."

All the other contestants looked at the dropouts who eere just announced as their face fall down.
While Anushka looked down on the floor thinking over what she heard hours before they were voting.

"So who do we vote?" Anushka heard a voice saying as she got into one of the room, it was coming from the attached bathroom of the room.

She wanted to leave the room but didn't, sat on the bed which was close to the bathroom.

"Whoever you guys are voting out you do, but I'll vote Anushka." Her ears preeked at the mention of her name.

"But..why?" She heard the famaliar voice of Jake. "She is good"

"Just because she was your best friend doesn't mean that she is on top."

"You guys are so selfish."

"Maybe."

"Hyung you should stop being a childlish and act like a grown up now. You clearly are scared because of her"

"Who said I'm scared-"

"You are!"

"It is!"

The guy scoffed and it was silent for a bit. Anushka got up and left the room, knowing that she'll be voted out.

Anushka looked down feeling kind of guilty that others were chosen instead of her. Whoever defended for her, she is greatful of them but also heated up.

She can handel this on her own, others dont need to save her ass.

That is what she thought, she sighed one last time and stopd up as everyone did, crying their eyes out.

From other seat, Seon, Nicholas along side with Youngbin who were glaring at the girl but got distracted by their friends.

As the young girl watches other, she felt a tug by her side. Looking over she saw Taki with crystal eyes.

"Ay..Taki" She said hugging him as he brust out into tears. "Promise me that you will come back from that rotten place hm?"

Taki let out a soft chuckle and nodded.

"Good." They pulled away, Anushka wipped away tge tears of the boy from his cheeks and smiled at him as he did too.

"Fighting!" She told him as he went inside the egg with pther dropouts.

The i landers watched their friends going away with crystal eyes and moved away from there when it was gone.

They all wave and some people cry, all Anushka could do is stand there and hope for the best for them.

Soon they came in a circle and cheered for iland as the girl stood there awakardly with a small smile playing on her lips.

Their pictures came up on the screen and the others stopd their amazed.

Then everyone went to choose rooms.

Anushka cursed under her breath as she moved along the group of boys.

She went to the purple room, seeing that it was one of her favorite colours, other than Black and wine red.

It had three beds, she chose the one which was closer to the bathroom, a bed beside her and another one across them.

She sat down on her chosen bed, keeping her things on it.

Anushka was taking out ger things from her bag and keeping the regular utems on the side table, that's when the door opened, Jay and Sunghoon came in.

"Oh...Hello." Sunghoon said doing a 90⁰ bow.

"Hello." Anushka did too, standing there awakardly as they stood there too.

Jay raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?" he asked, his tone slightly defensive, though his posture betrayed a hint of unease.

Her smile widened into a smirk. "Hmm, let me think..." She tapped her chin mockingly. "Maybe... choosing a bed? You know, like what other are doing right now?"

Jay scoffed. "Well, maybe you should choose another room. Leave this one to us."

Anushka frowned, placing her hands on her hips. "Excuse me? Last I checked, there weren't any 'boys only' signs on thid bedrooms door."

The tension between them thickened as they exchanged quick-witted remarks, their words bouncing off the metallic walls. Jay crossed his arms, clearly unimpressed, while Anushka stood her ground, her fiery spirit shining through.

Before the argument could escalate further, Sunghoon stepped in, raising his hands to mediate.

"Alright, alright, calm down, you two," he said, a slight chuckle escaping his lips. Turning to Anushka, he added, "You can stay here; it's no problem. Don't mind Jay-he's just scared of women."

Jay shot his friend a glare. "Excuse me?!"

Sunghoon shrugged with an innocent grin. "What? It's true."

Anushka stifled a laugh as Jay grumbled something under his breath, throwing his bag onto the bed across from hers. Sunghoon chose the one beside her, offering her a friendly smile as he got settled.

Anushka rolled her eyes playfully, muttering, "This is going to be interesting," before continuing to unpack her things.

Throughout the time Anushka was unpacking her things, she could feel the tense glare of Jay's and she decided to do that too.

When their eyes met, she would glare back causing Jay to look away with a slight gulp.

After she was done, she got into the bathroom which was in the bedroom, it doesn't have camers like the ones outside the room.

She changed into her pjs, a black shirt with pants fully and out of the bathroom. She bend down to keep her clothes suitcase. After keeping everything she finally hit on the bed and slept immediately.
