Woke up to the sound of an alarm, it is 6 am in the morning, and I have to get ready for my competition; get my hair ready as well as my make up. We need to be at the hotel lobby by 7:30 am then have breakfast.
It's going to be a tiring day for me even though I only have one event today. Time check it is, 7 am, and we have to be at the lobby 15 minutes earlier which means 7:15 am.
Then we head over to the lobby and wait for the rest of my teammates. While waiting for the rest of my teammates, I saw six handsome gentlemen walking towards the breakfast area; the GOT 7 members came down to have their break.
I mouthed "Good Morning Oppa!" when I see them, and they return the smile to me. They look tired but still came down to support me despite their busy schedule.
Then I heard my juniors saying and mumbling something "Omg did you see the guys that going in the dining area?" "They so handsome aren't they?" "They were smiling at us just now." "but they look familiar though..."
Yea, they so handsome girls, they are smiling at me not you... Then Shuting looks at me and laugh. So, I guess she heard it too.
When my Team Manager came down, he will announce to us our bout list, and well my first competitors are Korean. I am feeling nervous knowing that my Koreans are good. After my team manager finished announcing we all went into the dining area to have our breakfast.
As I went to take my food, someone touches my shoulder. "ah omg!" I was in shock before I even turn around and I know who was it already. The perfume scent, I remember his smell.
"Oppa! can you not." it was Mark
"Sorry Yaena, I call for your name, but you didn't respond to me," "are you okay? why are you spacing out?"
"Oppa, I am nervous, my first opponent is Korean," I said. "What if I lose in the first round?"
"Put the plate on your table, we talk outside okay," I just gave him and nodded and went outside.
He straight away pulls me into a hug. "You will do well okay, we all will be there for you. Don't be nervous and do your best, do know that you mix Korean too okay!"
"Hmm, thank you oppa!" I pull out from the hug and look at him.
"Heads up my head. You the best okay! I will see you at your competition area." I nod and smile.
"Look at how beautiful you are when you smile. Come let's go." he held my hand and brought me inside. This makes my heart beats so damn fast. He is holding my hand...
"Eat a lot yaena so that you can have a lot of energy later on." he part away and we went back to our seat.
After breakfast, we head over to the competition venue. We find seats at the place and put our belongings there. Then we to the training court to do stretching and warm up.
When they make announcements to ask us to leave the court, I look up and, I saw the Members there. They were wearing their disguise items; caps and mask so that no one could recognize them. They wave at me and show the fighting sign.
I went up to our seats and said hello to the members. Then all of them hugged me to calm me down. Then I ask my doctor to help me to re-tape my ankle.
After a few minutes, the announcements were calling for the event that I will be competing. While it's going to be my turn, hear cheering from the members and my Teammates, and I can't stop smiling.
In my mind, "I'm not going to lose this first round, and I am going to do my best and not waste the members time supporting me," I told myself I am the best.
After I did my routine, I didn't see my results yet. I was looking at the judge intensely. When the results were out I suddenly heard cheering from the members, then I turn to my coach and saw him giving me and thumbs up.
I turn around and look at the score. I won my opponent by 0.01. It was so close the score. I was super happy that I won the first round.
Time has passed, and I have won another three more rounds. If I were to win this round, I would go to the semi-finals. I didn't deem that I could go this far. While waiting for my turn, suddenly my ankle starts to hurt even more, and it's getting me to worry, so I started to bite my nails.
Meanwhile, It was going to be my turn; suddenly I hear cheering from the member, speaking in Korean " Yaena fighting! You can do this alright!! Hang in there!"
It makes me motivated and wants to win this round too.
When I start to do my routine I could feel the pain, but I continue and finish up my routine, then while waiting for the results, I still try my best to hold the pain.
When the score flashes out I lose by 0.1, and I didn't go to the Finals, and I was disheartened and frustrated... when I was walking towards my coach, I could feel the discomfort on my ankle, but I walk as per usual. I didn't want to worry the others.
After I walk out of the court, My coach comforted me and told me I did well, and we walk up together to the seating area where my teammates and the bap members were sitting there.
As I was coming, still climbing up at the staircase, Mark came rushes to me "Yaena, you Okay? Can you walk?" he greeted my coach first before charging to me with all those words, he looks concerned, then urges me to get on his back, and he piggybacks me.
"Oppa... I'm Okay." I said with a smile and reassured the members I'm Okay too. But Mark insist me on getting his back.
While Mark piggybacks me "Its okay, you did your best, and I am proud of you. You are still my number one Yaena" those words he said that makes my tears to shed which I have tried to hold.
"Oppa, thank you so much... I'm so grateful to have you and the members. Well at least i won 3rd! i guess you guys are my lucky charm" Then I bury my face at his back feeling blessed. "we are here already. He put me down slowly on the chair."
Then I thank Mark again, he smiles at me and touches my head then he goes to seats with the BAP members. They sit a distance away from me. Then my teammates congratulated me and all, but suddenly Mark came over to me with a bucket of ice.
The members are still in the competition venue with me to ensure that I am doing fine. I went to them "Oppas. You can go back to the hotel, and rest, I don't have any more events."
"It's okay Yaena, I will wait for you," said Mark and the rest nodded.
"No oppa, please go back okay? we will go back before dinner." I show them my sad face while pleading.
"Hmm fine, we will go back. Don't forget to message us later," replied Mark
"err Wait, I will buy for you your lunch okay." said the stubborn Mark
"Don't need oppa, they will provide lunch for us."
"Make sure okay! Eat a lot yaena. we will go first." "Bye Yaena," said the members while waving goodbye to them. I'm so pleased to have them by my side... and I couldn't express how I was feeling. All I could say is that I am fortunate and blessed right now.
