Serious - Justin

You stared at your reflection with tears in your eyes.

"Why am I even here." you whispered to yourself and curled into a ball.

The comfort room was empty and you felt yourself breaking down.

You saw a razor at the corner of your eye and approached it. The blade felt cold on your hand as you trailed it to your wrist.

"Should I try cutting?Would it ease the pain?" you looked at yourself again and hated your being.

It was too much to take. When you joined produce 101 as a last resort in debuting, your agency is going bankrupt.

Your gender was totally not for the program but you had no choice and you were desperate.

In the end, you became a variable in the show and was treated like a toy.Yes you were accepted but you got so much criticism from the people around you especially the ones who don't know who you truly were.

In hopes of debuting, produce 101 was your last option and you took the risk of applying even though you knew that it would be another bitter road.

You remembered the look on the staff's faces, how they thought that a girl like you would bring some fire to the show and become an entertainment.

As expected, you received so much hate from the other guy's fans.

Blood dripped down your wrist as you let the blade sink deeper to your skin. You continued to cut a bit more to lessen the pain that had bottled inside you.

"Nicole! What are you doing?" A figure emerged to the door but you felt so weak and numb that you didn't have the strength to know who it was and collapsed to the floor.

"I need help!" It was the last thing that you heard before losing consciousness.

"I hope she's okay." you heard some murmurings that woke you up.

The light was blinding you for a few seconds until you finally adjusted to the view.

No, you were not in a hospital bed nor in the hospital.

However, you were surrounded by other staffs and contestants inside the lounge.

You scanned yourself and noticed that they let you lie there instead of your room. Was this for another publicity? You were tired of everything.

"Oh! She's awake!" everyone went closer to you and bombarded you with questions.

This was the first time that everyone paid attention to you, but the person who was holding your hand made you wonder.

"Boa sunbaenim." You croaked her name as she stared at you worriedly.

"You're so pale." she placed her hand on your forehead and shooed everyone away.

"I'm okay now." you tried to get up from the big chair but you didn't have the strength to do so.

"You are not." She squeezed your hand and made you lie down again.

You were too weak to do anything so you just closed your eyes and avoided all the eyes that was staring at you.

"Everyone, Nicole is not a toy. She has received enough hate so please don't push her anymore. Even though she's the only female contestant, it doesn't mean that she has to be treated so differently.

A sudden warm jolt made you open your eyes. A guy had approached you, it was Huang Minghao.

"Nicole, please don't do that again."

"Justin,I'm fine now." He pinched your cheeks and gave you a box of vanilla cake.

"Eat this and become stronger." He gave you a small smile amd joined the others who were told to start practicing.

You stared at the cake in your hand, this was the first time that someone gave you something.

You felt special, at least for once.

The last few weeks were hard, a lot of guys continued to leave and the competition was getting more stressful.

Justin would give you his banana milk every practice that you got used to it. You wondered why he always gave you one so you asked him one day.

His only reply was that he wanted to approach me a long time ago. It was pretty hard for him to do so because I always kept some distance from everyone.
Plus, my room is on the opposite side from everyone.

"Nicole!" A voice called your name.

Actually, you already knew who it was because it was so loud and it was filled with excitement.

"Justin,what is it?"

"Here's your banana milk."

"Thank you."

"I think I'm going to be elimin!ted this week." He plopped down beside me inside the empty practice room.

"Me too though, I don't think I will ever make it." I sadly smiled at the thought.

"Anyway, we can't be sad forever." He suddenly became so hyper and dragged me to stand up.

"I don't want to stand up." You whined playfully and sat back down again.

"Aigoo. Let's just hang out when we leave this show." He smiled at me and placed a note on my head with a bit of force.

"Ow!"

"Read it pabo."
I carefully removed the note on my head amd read it nonchalantly.

"Be my girlfriend."

"Are you kidding me Minghao?I won't fall for your tricks anymore." I tried to remove the possible thouggts away and tried not to assume.

"I'm not kidding Nicole." He grabbed my hand and intertwined it with his.

"Are you really serious?"

"Yes."
