Jimin's POV

Once inside the dressing room makeup noona started doing my makeup. Okay not before squealing and squishing my cheeks. Things are literally getting awkward I swear. Other students who are to perform in the event were also looking at me. Some with find smile, some shocked and some with the look I can't fathom. I don't like this attention. I always have loved attention I get for my talents and character not for looks. Noona wiped my face with a cleansing tissue and massaged a moisturizer on my face prepping it for makeup.
"Your skin is already pretty Jiminie I don't think you need much" she said and smiled at me
I reciprocated her smile and thanked her. After about half an hour she finished my makeup. I have to say that I really loved the way she did my eyes. She smoked it with shimmery brown eyeshadow that made it pop out with a hooded look. Talented that is what people around me are. She removed the clips she placed on my bangs to keep it away from my face and straightened it. She styled it in a way that my bangs fall on my forehead lightly parted in my left side. I look okay. After that it was time for me to change outfit. According to the choreography I will first start with a song called "Lie" and after it's done Taemin hyung will join me and we will dance "Spring day". For "Lie" I will have a white under shirt with black skinny and black glittery jacket and for spring day I will just take off the jacket and will tie a thin scarf around my neck. We are trying a new choreo for "Lie". Am dancing with a blindfold. I will dance listening to the beat and rhythm of the song. It is quite challenging but I think I will be able to do it since we have practiced it well. The adrenaline in my body is deceiving. Though I look calm outside am literally shaking inside. I hope we will do it well. When everything was done I saw Jin hyung walking inside and looked around for me. Before even I called him he spotted me and came. He held my hands and rubbed his thumb on my knuckles. It's such a simple action but it calmed my nerves to a great extent. He knew how nervous I will be and how to calm me down. To him am just a open book. He can read my reactions and emotions well.
"You look sexy Jiminie yet cute as hell" he said
"Hyyuuuunngggg" I whined
"Remember you are born to dance and succeed. You look dashing and you can capture the heart of audience" he said confidently
"Thank you hyung. For everything" I smiled at him. I really am thankful for everything he have done so far. Never once left me and have always cared for me. He is my strength and a solid anchor.
"Out in 2 mins" Taemin hyung yelled
Jin hyung took the black silk cloth on the table and tied it around my eyes. He took my hand and lead me to the stage.
"We will be watching and cheering you Jiminie. Perform well" he said and kissed my head. Taemin hyung then lead me to the mark where I will start to dance from. Countdown started. My thoughts are blank now. Music started and I felt lights on my face. I started to dance. I felt all my nervousness vanish. A heavy weight from my shoulders lifted off. The knots on my stomach eased. I could not hear anything other than music. My body moved in accordance with music. I felt like a river that is flowing in it's desired direction breaking every restrictions and limits pouring my whole hearts content in my reactions. "Lie" ended soon and Taemin hyung took stage from me starting "Spring day" choreo. I took off my blindfold and ran to back stage to take off my jacket. Noona stood there with a choker and removed my jacket and put on the choker. "This will look better than scarf Jiminie" she said. I could care less now. I ran to join Taemin hyung sliding beneath him while he does a summersault elegantly. We danced it with smiles on our faces. This feels good. The song soon ended and we left the stage after bowing to the audience. We heard students screaming our names even after we left the stage.
"Jiminie we did it" Taemin hyung lifted me from ground spinning and yelling
"Yeeeepppp" I got caught off guard. He is on cloud nine. Well me too. We performed just the way we practiced. Everything went well. Our practice paid off. Taetae's performance will be on afternoon after all the dance performances. I rushed to change my outfit into the shorts and tee I wore previously not bothering to wipe off my make up and ran to Audi. Hyungs and Taetae sat two rows behind from the front. I tried to walk to them but stuck in crowd of students who surrounded me and commented things I could not decipher. They were are speaking at the same time. Panic Rose in my body when students around me started touching me. I closed my eyes holding a whimper that threatened to slip away from my throat.
"Leave him alone" a deep voice growled. I was soon pulled from the pool of students and my face was planted on a hard like surface. I opened my eyes only to see Taetae's outfit from morning. I let out a sigh in relief. Jin hyung the peeled me off of Taetae and guided me to the seat they reserved for me beforehand. Once seated I saw Jungkook hyung's cold stare towards the crowd who were separating from the crowd.
Questions clouded my mind.
Why were they crowding me? I could findanswer for that. They wanted to congratulate me but...
Why would they come so close to me?
Why would they touch and try to grope me?
Why Taetae sounded cold and jealous?
Why Jungkook looked like he was about to kill those people?
I felt a hand on my back running in up and down motion. I thought it was Fun hyung but it was actually Hobi hyung who had a comforting smile on his face while Jin hyung was gave me a bottle of water. I took it gladly and downed half bottle. "You have to be careful Jimin. Crowds like that are going to be there around you for a while until they find something or someone" Yoongi hyung said. The thought itself made me feel like throwing up. I can't envision myself daily stuck in a crowd like that. I nodded slighlty and slumped down in my seat. "Don't worry Jiminie we will be around you and keep you safe" Hobi hyung said in a soft voice. I nodded again. This is going to be one hell of a ride. I sighed.
