I gulp as I peeked through the velvet red curtains from behind stage. You can do this just breathe. I nervously played with my fingers trying to comfort myself, but receiving nothing. This was it. The audition and I am going to sing Blackpink's Stay.
I paced by and forth feeling the palms of my hands sweat. Where is he? I looked down at my watch. He was suppose to be here 10 minutes ago.
"There you are!" my boyfriend Jihoon called running over to me out of breath. I weakly smiled feeling my eyes to begin to weld up with tears.
"Jihoon I'm nervous. I can't do this" I groaned hiding my face in Jihoon's grey hoodie, breathing in his cologne.
"Love listen.." he hugged me before pulling away to look into my eyes. I stared back into those beautiful brown eyes as they switched from comforting to seriousness. "I think it's healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care, that you work hard and want to give a great performance. You just have to channel that nervous energy into the show" he spoke sternly not blinking once.
"You're making it sound all easy. What happens if I mess up!?" I crossed my arms across my chest stubbornly.
"(y/n) who gives a damn. I would rather see you killing it on the audition and make a mistake. Instead of just singing it with no passion and not making a mistake" he grabbed my arm trying to snap me back to his attention.
I swallowed air as the backstage manager warned me that I have a minute until I went on stage.
"(y/n) it's time to go on" the manager came over. I shot Jihoon a worried looked as I was being dragged away by the manager.
"Love I believe you in!" Jihoon shouted blowing me a kiss before I turned the corner to the entrance of the audition room.
I closed my eyes remembering Jihoon's words. I just have to believe in myself. I grabbed the mic and eyes were looking at me eagerly.
(a/n- eng lyrics)
"So easily, with harsh words
You put scars in my heart
Without even saying sorry " I sang timidly walking forward.
I closed my eyes thinking of Jihoon's words yet again.
"Before the dark night traps me in
Don’t leave me
Do you still love me? If you feel the same
Don’t leave today
Don’t ask why it has to be you
Just stay with me" I opened my eyes not feeling as nervous as I was moments ago.
"I don’t expect a lot right now
Just stay with me" I sang into the mic smiling at the people present in the audition room.
I finished the song perfectly as the people who were in the audition room gave me a big round of applause. I smiled bowing at them before going out of the room. I felt a rush of adrenalin hit me like a bus. I felt so hyped I just wanted to keep singing.
"Babygirl! You did so amazing" Jihoon shouted picking me off the ground. I smiled feeling proud for once in my life.
"Jihoon that felt amazing "I let out a huff pulling him close to my lips that they were almost touching. "And how did you know that I did well?"
"I heard you from outside. See look what you can do when you believe in yourself" he laughed looking at my lips before returning to my eyes.
"Just kiss me" I rolled my eyes pulling Jihoon to my lips. Not only did I learn to believe in myself that night, but I learned that I truly was lucky to have Jihoon in my life.
