"Oh. My. God. Where the fuck is he?!" Ji Eun drags her fingers furiously through her thick black hair. She had dieted for an entire month for this day. She used a full six hours on her skincare, hair and makeup. She even spent over a million won on her outfit alone. Yet, here Ji Eun is, pacing around back stage as the second to last performance ends, alone. This can't be right. This must be a mistake.
The girl stops and stares at her pained reflection as she wonders where she went wrong. She made sure that she nuzzled her way into her Oppa's heart. She played the cute innocent girl and she even kissed him. Though it was indirect, a kiss is a kiss. She continues to play the last two months through her head as she attempts to find a fault in her actions.
"You look beautiful." The girl spins around to face the owner of the dark rich voice. Sangwoo. His light hair is slicked back and his broad shoulders are decorated with a blood red blazer. He is even wearing earrings. He must have gone all out for today.
Min Ji Eun can't help but swoon. "Oppa! You look amazing yourself." The pale singer happily crosses the room to her companion, her light pink heels clacking enthusiastically as she goes. "We're next up! I'm so nervous." She wraps her small arms around the man and snuggles her face into his chest.
Sangwoo's presence is very comforting to the poor girl, but not enough to completely relieve her of her jitters. The back stage was dark and people were running around like rats as they continued to adjust lights and other special effects. Everything was just stressing her out and making her even more nervous. At least the slut isn't here. It helps to know she has Sangwoo all to herself.
"Listen, they are about to introduce us." The low rumble of his vocal chords makes Ji Eun want to abandon the damn talent show and just stay like this with Sangwoo forever. But that is and will remain a mere fantasy. The girl lifts her head, careful not to smudge her makeup, and takes Sangwoo's strong slightly callused hand in her own. "Let's go!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our final act! Let's give our duet a warm welcome! Min Ji Eun and Ohhhhhhh Sangwoo!" The announcer's voice booms over the cheering crowd. The room is full of flirtatious whistles and desperate screaming and clapping on clapping on clapping.
Heading out first, Ji Eun waves her hand in the air and blows kisses to the rambunctious and tipsy crowd. The auditorium is packed! People fill the room mostly at the front towards the stage, some close enough to look up her skirt. To the back are tables of food and drinks as well as a tv crew. "Wow," She breathes as her face is taken over with a large smile.
Before she knows it, Sangwoo slips out and greets the eager crowd. She glances at her male counter part to see his sparkling eyes surveying the crowd. He must be amazed by how many people have come just to hear them sing. But it was only to be expected. They are going to be the powerhouse couple of the college after all.
The overhead lights dim and the cheering dies down. All eyes are on her. Ji Eun. Like they should be. Creeping in, the pair's song washes over the silent crowd. Coming in at a smooth high pitch, Ji Eun began to sing the words she had spent so much time practicing.
Hey body began to sway and her clammy hands hold tight onto the microphone. Reaching the end of her first part, Ji Eun holds out her last note for a layering effect with Sangwoo. Oh Sangwoo. If his strong jaw line and broad body hadn't entranced the crowd, his singing did. It was if time stopped and the only thing flowing was his resonating sound, his low velvety voice.
╭ ╮
"Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song"
╰ ╯Sangwoo. Everything about him screamed love and utter devotion. The gentle way he held the microphone, his faint smile, the dreamy look in his eyes. All this love for Ji Eun is being shared openly through this song. But, why hasn't he glanced or winked back at her, like they always did in practice? Pointedly, the singer follows his warm gaze directly into the back of the crowd where it has been focused the entire time.
It was her. It was Y/n.
She looks like an over emotional fucking farmer. Did her scarecrow grow legs and moonwalk away or something? With her disgusting overalls and disturbing tears falling down her face. Why the fuck is she holding a dwarf's hand? Why does she have her pinky in the air? What is wrong with her?
Ji Eun's love and happiness immediately transfers into hate and jealousy. This can't be right. Ji Eun stares at the man as he finishes his last verse. Though not completely obvious, one things stands out. Just like the girl, Sangwoo was holding up a single pinky finger.
"She has everything," Ji Eun whispers.
