Undercover Downfall (EXO x OC) [On Haitus]

003 - Displaying vulnerability

Jenny's POV
There, I saw Sehun.
That's right, Oh Sehun.
From EXO.
I swear luck is on my side.
I gazed at him once as our eyes met and I quickly returned my eyes to the tear stained ground.

Sehun's POV
After that "little" disagreement with Suho, I was not in the mood for practice. So I declared loudly to my hyungs that I needed some fresh air and rushed out of the room. I went up to the roof top where I always sit to think.
Usually, the roof top is empty, but to my surprise, today there was someone already there. I saw a girl sitting on the edge of the building with a tear stained face crying. She must have heard me open the door as she immediately rubbed her tears away and tried to mask her sadness. She looked towards me for a second.
Our eyes met. Through her eyes, I could distictly see that she was distressed, before she looked down again. I calmly and cautiously walked forward and sat next to her. Before wrapping an arm around her, pulling her in close.

Honestly, I don't know what makes me want to comfort her, but I did.

Once in my embrace, tears seem to flow out of her eyes once again. She buried her face into my chest and continued to sob. Her tears were soaking into the fabric of my shirt making it wet, but I didn't care. All I cared about now is to comfort her. Her endless bawling went on for a good hour, before she finally looked up and faced me, muttering an apology.
When she looked up, her eyes were still glazed from her tears, but somehow, her ravishing blue eyes still seemed to shimmer. The sun's rays didn't help much in darkening her beauty either. In fact, it enhanced it. Every tear on her face, reflects the light rays making them sparkle, making her whole face seem like its glowing. I was so engrossed in her magnificent facial features that I didn't realise that she was slowly getting up to leave. When I noticed it, I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her towards me once again.

I asked her in a gentle and soft voice,"Why were you crying?"

She replied me "I'm sorry, it's just that someone said something hurtful to me and I just got upset."

I nodded in understanding and calmly told her,"It's okay to cry.But don't let other people's words get to you. It doesn't matter what others think if you. As long as you know that you are not what they say you are, you're fine. It's just like for example, let's say I gave you a gift, but you rejected it, who does the gift belong to?"

"You... "she answered.

"That's right but if you accept the gift it belongs to?" I questioned again.

"Me..."she answers once again.

"Therefore, let's say someone call you stupid and you chose not accept it, that remark, "stupid" belongs to the person, making them stupid. But if you accept it, you are the one being stupid. So you see, as long as you reject the things they say and only stick to what you believe, you will always rise above the rest. Understand?"

She simply nodded.
She then checked her phone and worry started to cloud her eyes.

She adrupty stood up, bowed to me, gave me a smile and said,"Thank you for your kind words and appreciation. I have to go now."

She then walked out of the door. Leaving me there feeling warm and fuzzy.

What is that feeling inside me?

Anyways, since I'm feeling a lot better thanks to her, I should head back to practice.

Jenny's POV
I can't believe I cried into Sehun's embrace. Him comforting me kinda makes me not want to destroy their career.
Urgh.
Can't get side tracked. I still cannot believe that I showed vulnerability infront of him. I hope that gains his trust. Even though the tears were not 100% fake, they aren't all real either.
His speech was quite motivational though.
And I just realised that I only have 30 minutes left to pick a song and choreograph a dance.
A sudden inspiration hit me. I decided to use the incident that just happened as a guide.
Soon, the time was up and we all gathered into the room. I saw Soo Mi looking at me, looking not even the least bit guilty.
Everyone was called by Mr Fan for the examination and I was the last one.

"Jenny" they called.

I took a deep breath and entered the room. I declared that I was going to dance to the song 'mean' by Taylor Swift.

Mr Fan's POV
After Soon Mi's horrendous performance, I honestly have little to no hope in the next and final person to take the examination.
The final person was Jenny. She came in looking calm and said that she would be dancing to the song Mean. I shook my head dissapointedly. I honestly think that her song was a poor choice as it was harder to portray the emotions of the song and majority fail to do so. Making their dance soulless, just pure actions and movement.

No expression.
No heart.

But I guess I underestimated her.

After she finished her dance, I was amazed. She showcased the feelings of being bullied into the dance. Her dance was more of a Modern, Ballet and contemporary kind of dance. She did a few jumps, kicks and even spins with incredible accuracy and balance.Even her facial expression shows some sadness, yet hope in her eyes. The dance was well choreographed and it nearly moved me to tears. It was simply magnificent. I definitely have high hopes for her future...

Jenny's POV
Phew.
I'm glad that examination was over. I nearly cried during my dance. It's not the best dance I have ever danced and choreographed, but with the time constraint, I think I did quite well. I wonder how I did...
I'm so nervous.

30 minutes later
"I have graded your dances and I am sorry to say but only 2 trainees were able to stay in contract. These 2 trainees are—",Mr Fan started.
