It was her first talent show, and you will never forget it.
Chaeyoung had auditioned for a talent show competition in our city and it really wasn't a big surprise to you that she got into the final round.
It was a day before the final round and Chaeyoung was feeling nervous as ever.
"Oh my gosh.. Ahh.. I'm so nervous Y/N" she said jumping up and down and shaking her hands.
"Geez calm down Rosie it's not like you're gonna lose or anything. You've practiced like a million times and i don't know how but it keeps getting better EVERYTIME" You said playing a few notes on her keyboard.
You were at her house hanging out with her because when are you not hanging out with her right?
"I know but there's gonna be lots of people tomorrow and it's different than the previous rounds"
"Girl, even if the whole world was watching you, i know for a fact that when you get on that stage, your voice wouldn't shake a bit" You replied looking at her and giving her a big smile.
"Aw thanks Y/N, you're the best. Now let's rehearse one more time" She said smiling back at you. You positioned your fingers on the keys and started playing the song.

You cursed yourself for not buying these things earlier, and now you're late for her special day. You were currently buying Rosé her favourite box of chocolates and a rose, because why not, to congratulate her after she wins the competition. Although she hasn't performed yet, isn't it quite obvious who was going to win? (The queen topped the Australian auditions fight me on this)
You drove like you were in a scene from Fast and Furious through traffic, praying that Chaeyoung hasn't performed yet. When you got there, you slipped through the doors of the auditorium and immediately felt the effect of the air conditioners. Damn, what was up with the guy in charge of the AC system.
You stood at the back of the auditorium and tapped the shoulder of a young lady who sat at the back.
"Has it started yet? " You asked with a polite smile.
"Yes, two people already sang.. You're kinda late" She replied chuckling. You gave her a big grin and sighed in relief because you knew that Chaeyoung was the last to perform amongst the three finalists.
Just then, the lights dimmed, and a spotlight shone the centre of the stage. You could've sworn it was an angel that stood exactly where she stood. The crowd cheered then quieted down as she brought the microphone to her lips.
Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes, but it's the only thing that i know
That voice. The voice of a thousand angels singing in heaven(not to kill the vibe but, dramatic much). That voice that you were so familiar with. That voice that you have once fallen for. That voice that you are still falling deeply for. That one in a million voice swept the auditorium like a hurricane.
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes, it is the only thing that makes us feel alive
You could feel everyone suck in their breath as she sang. Nobody breathed. Nobody moved. Everyone was astonished by the power in her voice.
We keep this love in a photograph, we made these memories for ourselves, where our eyes are never closing, hearts are never broken and time's forever frozen still
You were sure, time froze as if the universe itself wanted to hear her voice.
So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans, holding me closer till our eyes meet, you won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home
You did not know why, or how, you've even rehearsed this song many times together, but this performance made you feel like you had been deaf your whole life and now was your first time being able to hear.
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul, and it's the only thing that i know
Out of all the people present, she managed to find you, at the back of the hall, and smiled at you. You locked eyes, no one daring to look away, no one wanting to look away.
I swear it will get easier, remember that with every piece of you, mm it's the only thing we take with us when we die
Chaeyoung had you in a trance, a trance that you never wanted to be free of. A sudden warmth covered you like a blanket and you knew at this instant that you just, loved her.
So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans, holding me closer till our eyes meet, you won't ever be alone
And if you hurt me, well that's okay baby only words bleed, inside these pages you just hold me and i won't ever let you go
You mouthed a "Thank You" to her for staying by your side through everything up until this point. You will never admit it to her but you felt a tear roll down your cheek right after that.
Wait for me to come home

"See i told you, you would win" You said unamused as she ran up to you and hugged you tightly.
"I saw you crying back there" She teased while pointing at your face.
"What? I didn't.. Why would i cry?" You replied handing her the rose and box of chocolates "And congratulations" You continued as an effort to change the topic.
"Awww.. You didn't have to.. But i guess now i have to finish it.. And I'm not sharing! Thanks Y/N! Love you lots!" She laughed. Chaeyoung kissed your cheek, linked your arms together and skipped towards the exit, not to mention dragging you along.

Ugh what a typical song, i know, but i don't care. I almost made it to 1000 words though so i deserve a reward, i'm gonna go eat now.
