XV. Eye-Catching

Our team's practice was going very smoothly. I was chosen as leader again, which I felt like was a regrettable idea. But most of our members had good ideas and Sihyun and I created the choreography.

Minju was good a suggesting very provocative dances, but it was good, that would make our team's popularity explode. Mostly now, it was mainly popularity that gets you through the eliminations.

"Jimin and Hyokyung are both too cute for this concept." I pondered as I watched them. But Jung Sara and Hayoon both fit the sexy concept perfectly.

It's been 2 days since my mother went under surgery, and I assumed it was finished by now. But I couldn't see her until next week because it could take her up to a week to wake up.

I sighed as I tried to think of more eye-catching moves. Miss A was also a JYP group, so I had to do this perfectly for else it could be disappointing.

One of the dance coaches stepped in a took a look at what we had so far. We hadn't got that far, so we were worried that we would get criticized.

After finishing what we had of the dance, I looked at the dance coach.

She looked at me. "You're the leader, right?" I nodded.

"The choreography is just sexy-dancing, there's no technique involved whatsoever." She said bluntly.

I bit my lip and nodded.

"Miss A is under JYP, just like you. Everyone will be expecting a lot from you, so it has to be good. Lead better, do better, so it won't be regretful in the end." The dance coach said.

I dropped my head and nodded.

Once she left, my members told me that it was okay.

I was really stressed. I kept thinking, I can't do this, I can't lead them. I didn't lead my previous team to success before, why would I lead this one? Plus, I couldn't focus on making the performance when all I could think about was my mom.

I let out a sigh. "Can someone else take over for a little? I need to clear my thoughts for a second and I'll be back." I said, exiting the room. I stopped by the vending machine to get a drink and went outside for a walk.

I shivered a little since I didn't have a jacket on in the middle of winter, but the cold didn't bother me that much. Watch, tomorrow I'll be sick. I said in my head jokingly.

What if this performance gets last? I sighed at the thought. The results weren't clear of who was last last time, but it would be now. I didn't want to shamefully be 5th place with a song that came from my company.

If it does, JYP won't let me debut for another 10 years. I laughed at the thought, but I knew that if I seriously fucked up I would be dead meat.

I neared a park and heard laughing. I squinted at the group of boys by the lamp. One of them was holding a big camera. I recognized him as Kim Byeongkwan, the dancing machine.

As I neared, they turned to me.

"Who's there??"

"Who is that? They're wearing a mask--"

"Dudes I'm getting creeped out."
