i felt a brush going back and forth on my left eyelid. it was the day of the semifinals and my makeup was currently being done.
the makeup artist was constantly blending my eyeshadow out as her face kept inching closer towards mine. i could feel her breath fanning against my face and i had to pretend to fall asleep.
this makeup artist, who had been assigned to me ever since the start of the programme, kept her distance between us as close as possible all the time.
"we're almost done, jinyoung-ssi."
i did not respond and instead, i kept my eyes closed throughout this ordeal. i could not really tell her i already have someone i like in case she exposes it due to her jealousy or anger.
i felt her fingers tracing my lips before hot breath was felt on them. i opened my eyes widely and distanced myself away from her as far as possible.
"i'm not done, jinyoung-ssi."
i decided to move to another vanity and called out for another makeup artist, but unfortunately, they were all occupied with the members they were assigned to.
"guess there's only me left."
she dragged me to a nearby store room before locking the door.
"you know, you've been on my mind for quite some time now. why not, say, let's get together?"
her steps inched closer towards me as my feet stood rooted to the ground. the lock was not working and i struggled to open the door with force.
"don't even try to get away from me."
she pinned me towards the back of the storeroom as her palm made its way to my chest.
"what are you talking about?! let me go!"
she dragged her hand down towards my abdomen as her breath fanned against my neck. no this can't happen.
i pushed her away before things started going downhill. i still have to win a certain someone's heart.
i kicked open the door before going out and inhaling all the fresh air along the corridor. i knew such a day would come and i already have been very determined to maintain a clean relationship with her between a member of the survival show and a makeup artist.
seems like she was overly obsessed and her greed towards me got the better of her.
my group made some last minute preparations before we were set to perform. jihoon had showcased his trademark cute moves before it was finally time for the music to be played.
i had received a lot of compliments for my improvements throughout the show and i was excited to show them all to my fans. and hopefully to her.
my eyes roamed the crowd as my part came. i took the center stage and delivered my lines smoothly. that was when i made eye contact with the most significant person in my life.
it was her. she came.
she sent me her signature smile before holding up her banner with my face on it. her support really means the world to me and i flashed a huge smile in her direction, which sent fans screaming at the top of their lungs.
when we were done, i saw a familiar back in the waiting room.
"hey." "hello baejin. good job on the performance." "thanks."
i scratched the back of my head as i observed that she has regained her radiant glow again.
am i slowly winning her heart?
"your support means everything to me. thank you."
she pat me on the shoulder and ruffled my hair.
"as a friend, it was my duty to come."
did you hear my heart shattering?
- i had to include the first part because look at his damn photos like who wouldn't fall in love with him? long chapter! vote. vote. vote!
