Produce 101 x Produce 101 Season 2 (Short Story)

IV. Sejeong x Sungwoon

Special Emcee
Sejeong x Sungwoon

Should I do it?

Sejeong asked herself once more. Their manager told her that she'll be one of the special mc for Produce 101 Season 2. She want to say no but she can't.

"Doyeon, I really can't do it." she said while slowly tearing up.

"I know it's hard for you, Sejeong. But we need to do it." Doyeon said while comforting her.

Sejeong thinks she can't do it because she'll just be distracted by her ex-boyfriend that happens to be one of the contestant of the survival show.

She still can't face him because she's still hurt. She can still remember what her ex boyfriend told her when they broke up.

"Sejeong, this is the best for us." Sungwoon said while wipping Sejeong's tears. He's sad that they need to break up but he know it's just for the best.

"No, Sungwoon. This is not the best for the both of us. We have the same dream to be an idol but we don't need to break up." She's still crying and Sungwoon can't do anything that's why he hugged her.

"I'm sorry, Sejeong. But don't you think our relationship will just be a hindrance in achieving our dream to be an idol?"

"Our relationship is never a hindrance, Sungwoon. It's never a hindrance..." and again. She's still crying that's why Sungwoon decided to just comfort her and not talk about their break up.

After that day, Sungwoon just texted her "I'm sorry. Good bye, Sejeong."

It's been 5 years actually but for Sejeong it feels like it's only yesterday.

"Doyeon, I really can't face him yet."

Doyeon flicked Sejeong's forehead "Yah, wake up, Sejeong! It's been 5 years right? You need to face him now."

"I can't." Sejeong insisted.

"You need to"

"I don't want to." Sejeong said.

"You're just running away from him"

"He's the first one who runaway." Sejeong said while rolling her eyes.

"Still, be matured enough to face him, Sejeong"

In the middle of their chitchat, Sejeong's manager told Doyeon to go outside first because he need to talk to Sejeong.

"I really can't do it." She immediately said.

"Sejeong, you need to do it." her manager is so kind enough not to be mad at her because he know about Sejeong's ex boyfriend; Ha Sungwoon.

"But I can't. I really can't face him now." she said and looked down. She really want to be a special MC, yes but the hindrance is that she know she'll be distracted once she saw Sungwoon. She know herself... She'll cry...

"Sejeong, be professional enough to do your job." said her manager. It hits her so damn much because she know she should be professional, yes because it's her job but... The hindrance.. She's afraid something bad will happen during the recording if she'll see Sungwoo.

"But..."

"Don't let your personal feelings interfere with your work, Sejeong." once again, she's guilty but she nodded.

"I'll try to do my best, manager-nim" she said while looking down. She's so guilty because it's not that everyday she'll be a guest MC for a show and now that she'll be a guest MC, she's acting like this.

"I hope, Sejeong." her manager manage to pat her head because her manager know what she've been through all these years. "By the way, Sungwoon's coming here."
