Solving You

Chapter 17: The Reaction

I sigh, biting my lip as I pace the office nervously. At this point, the show is supposed to start in fifteen minutes and none of the representatives from the entertainment companies have showed up yet.

To make things worse, Jae woke up with a sore throat this morning. Jimin and Taehyung didn't sleep well last night so they're exhausted as well. If we want to make things even better, the girls and I haven't been practicing. We're doing one of the songs that we've already performed before, but that was a week ago.

As another five minutes goes by, I'm ready to give up on the representatives showing. Just as I'm ready to call it quits and leave the office, all five of them walk in just mere seconds behind each other.

"Hello. You must be Lee Ann?" The first to walk in asks. I nod, bowing.

"Yes, Sir. That's me. Thank you so much, all of you, for coming." I answer before leading them out of the office and off to the auditorium where the show is being held.

"We're excited to see the talent you've got for us. From what you sent in the email, it looks like they've got quite the amount of potential." Another one of them responds.

Heading into the auditorium, I'm glad I informed our principal about what I'd been doing beforehand. There's an area sectioned off for all of the people performing in the talent show today, but he sectioned the front row area off from the already sectioned area just for the six of us.

Reviewing over the order of performers, Yoongi's group is fifth in the line up and Jae's group only three behind. After that, the girls and I are two behind Jae. I take a deep breath, trying to keep myself calm. I can only hope that all goes well for everyone. Looking back at the girls who are a few rows behind me, they give me reassuring smiles and thumbs up.

Soon enough, the show begins and we start going through the performers. It feels like it just drags slowly by until finally Yoongi and the boys rush out on stage, each of them a ball of energy. Watching Yoongi begin to scan the crowd like he had at his underground performance, I put my hand up a little and wave which easily catches his attention. He noticeably eases up, not even seeming to pay any mind to the five men sat beside me.

They go on with their performance and I recognize it as one of his more recent songs that he'd posted. He keeps his eyes on me majority of the time, only glancing away a few times to look at the boys on stage with him. You never would've thought that Jimin and Tae has a hard time sleeping the night before by the way they performed.

Glancing over at the men beside me myself a few times, I watch as a couple of them take notes which causes a small smile to tug at my lips.

When the boy finish their performance, they bow before jogging off the stage. However, Yoongi, Namjoon, and Jungkook all break from the other four who head where they'd been instructed to. The girls had informed the boys that they'd 'sneak' into the performers area to sit and watch so that Namjoon and Jungkook would know where to find them.

As they jog over to us, Yoongi breaks from the other two as he comes straight up to me. I grin up at him as he pulls me into a tight hug.

"You were amazing just as expected." I whisper softly as they begin announcing the next performers. I can feel the eyes of the five reps on me, but I ignore it as he leans down and kisses my cheek.

"Thank you, babe." He says with a wink before heading back to where he's meant to be sitting with the rest of the boys.

"Who were they?" The man beside me asks quietly so that only I can hear him.

"Min Yoongi, Kim Seokjin, Kim Namjoon, Kim Taehyung, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, and Jeon Jungkook. They're best friends. They've actually been hoping to audition at some point to become a band together as they all enjoy singing or rapping and dancing together. I know Yoongi writes songs, but I don't know about the rest of them." I answer honestly.
