The Underground Star series: Unknown
There's a belief that you will encounter three types of love; the first love, the one great love and the true love.
I have never thought I'd be nervous until today. Few more minutes and it will be out. I wonder what would people react when they will hear and see my work. I was restless for months for this day.
Apart from being nervous, I am glad that I can show people what I have worked hard for how many years on my birthday. I hope everything I did is worth it. I cannot afford to disappoint everyone.
"Are you nervous? Chill. I know everyone will love it. We worked hard for this, especially you. Make them leave in shock girl." She said while patting behind my back. It really surprises me sometimes that she can really find me despite I'm in a cabinet right now, hiding from everyone else.
"Yeah.. thanks but I feel like my stomach's turning." And I was cold sweating. She just laughed.
"You're admirable really. Everyone will adore your work, Jade."
"You know what, I am still not used to being called by my second name. Can you just call me, Jenn or Jilin if we're not working?" I rolled eyes hearing my second name but that's my pseudo name after all I have to get used to it by now.
"Nope, I will keep calling you Jade. And it's 23:59 already, are you ready?" she said handing me the phone, but I refused.
"No, thanks. Just leave me alone here." I'd rather die than to look at the phone or any gadgets right now.

It's probably out now since I heard my phone was ringing nonstop. I am scared to see who were calling but its annoying to think that I failed to put my phone on 'Do not disturb' mode.
I just answered the phone without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?"
[Happy birthday and congrats! You made it! We made it this year!] I heard Yuta on the other line and so as the 127 boys cheering in the background.
"Well, yes. And thank you also, for not telling anyone I was here in Korea for three years. Thank you so much." I was completely overwhelmed by the fact that I don't have to hide in the basement anymore.
[I need to go now, we have schedules tomorrow. Let's catch up soon. Happy birthday again!] and he then dropped the call before I could say goodbye.
Jina then came back, but this time she was in panic. I was even more nervous to see her panic. I may have been disappointed the public.
"Oh my god, your brother is coming back from Japan. Like, right now. Are you okay with that?" She was really worried about me but not about herself when the fact that she talked with him multiple times and always hiding me from his sight every time my brother step his foot in this building.
"Yeah, I have no choice but to face him now. My face is literally everywhere in the news right now, theres nothing to hide anymore." I lied. As much as I would love to be ready to face my brother, I really can't compose myself even though I have practiced it already.
