3 days before talent show

(Jack's POV)

I stood in the wings listening to Sarang sing. Her voice was beautiful.

Her voice suddenly cracked on a high note.

She yanked her earphones out and sighed.

"I can't do it. I can't get this stupid song."

I hated seeing her like this.

I sat beside her on the stage.
"Try to stop jumping notes. Guide your voice."

She sighed in exhaustion.
"You just don't get it do you? You can't really just sing a song. You have to feel it. I can't feel this stupid song."

"Hey. Calm down. Just try."

"Usually I'm so good at it. But this song just doesn't work. Besides, I normally don't sing high anyway."

"Sarang..."
I knew it was going to be hard finding an English song to do but this was getting ridiculous.

"I appreciate your help but I need a time out."

She walked out of the room.

I sighed. This was going to be impossible.

She had to do 3 English songs and 2 foreign ones since she was doing a different language.

We hadn't even found one for her and we only had 2 days until the audition.

How I ended up falling in love with this impossible girl I have no idea.

I left to go get her.

"When the days are cold
And the cards are fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide..."

I suddenly heard a beautiful singing voice. I followed it, trying to find the source.

"No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

When the curtain’s call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
