His Cinderella (Jin X Reader) ✔

Chapter 34

Chapter 34

At the voice, I immediately turned in his direction and looked at the person with big eyes. My eyes were initially surprised, but quickly turned into a happy one. As if by magic, my lips formed a smile as I saw the person approaching. I raised my hand and waved to the person who perceived my waving with a smile and then waving to me. Next to him were his group members, who only discovered me on second sight and gave me a friendly smile. I could hear Namjoon whisper something to Jin, who nudged Namjoon into the pit of his stomach with his elbow. The rest of the boys started laughing at the leader.

"Miss Lee ... do you know the guys personally?", the only female stylist asked me in the round and looked at me with curious eyes. Her eyes sparkled with the question, and she looked a little jealous as well. Not exactly unobtrusive, the others also looked at me, but a little looser. "No, not really. I'm just friends with Jin. I just saw the others a couple of times", I said, as I stood with the boys, though I could just smile away from that question. After all, it didn't matter to her how I feel about the boys. Still, I haven't made me lie, because Jin literally shouted my name through the building.

When I arrived, he smiled at me from one corner of his mouth to the other, so it looks very painful to me. "You look so different with a dress. Not that it does not look nice. It is very nice, even ", he tried to talk out obviously embarrassed. Again, the boys started to laugh, this time they laughed about Jin and made even funny comments about him. "Jin, what did you want to tell me?", I asked him head, because I didn't make sense of this situation. On the spot, everyone held the flaps and looked at Jin expectantly. Jin looked around and suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me away from the pack. I looked back to the others, who watched us in amazement. The stylist called after us, "We will wait for you here!"

"Where are you taking me?", I wanted to know from him, who was standing in a dark and quiet corner. He turned to me and answered my question, "I want to talk to you in peace. It doesn't have to be known by everyone what I have to say to you." He looked in all directions and then he suddenly attacked me with a hug. He had gently wrapped his arms around my waist and put his head on mine. My heart started pounding wildly against my chest. A whole flock of butterflies flew into my stomach, making me hot and cold at the same time. "What's wrong with you?" I asked against his body. I really had no idea what he has. I raised my eyes and saw him deep in his brown eyes, which drew me every minute deeper into their spell.

"Now out with the language, Jin. What do you want to tell me now?", I finally wanted to know, why he wants to talk to me alone in private. He opened his mouth to speak, but was replaced by another voice. "Uhh.. am I disturbing with something?", it came cautiously from the mouth of the stylist's mouth, which has discovered us close to each other. We didn't notice how he approached.

Being caught by him so close to Jin, I immediately pulled away from him and took a big step to the side. A safety distance. Jin raised his hands defensively and shook his head with light red cheeks. "No, no," he said quickly, scratching his neck and looking everywhere but not in my or the stylist's direction. "We've got to your sister, because it will take some time to get ready for the concert", he explained, trying to cover the situation. You could tell, that he didn't feel well finding us in such a pressed situation.

Sighing, my eyes wandered to Jin, who looked at me with a sad expression. "That's my cue to go", I said with the same expression on his face as he did. One last time I looked at him. I don't know if I'll ever see him again if my plan fails.

"Come," the stylist waved to me, whose name I still don't know. He used to run and stopped when I did not follow him right away, because Jin grabbed my wrist before I could run past him. "We'll see each other before the day is over," he said with firm conviction and a serious look. Then he let go of my wrist and let me go after the stylist.

"What was that?", I grumbled thoughtfully, what all this could have be. Maybe he knows something? Shaking my head, I wiped that idea aside. There was never any indication. I've always been careful not to give anyone near him. Even though it was hard for me to shut up and not reveal everything.

After a quarter of an hour we came to a door whose name was "Sweet Charry". From inside I could hear many voices talking excitedly. The loudest voices were from Eunbi and stepmother, who complained about everything and anyone who didn't conform in their image or just get in their way.

"Just go in, Lee (Y/N). They are already waiting for you", he shared without knowing that I was not really close to them. I would never want to be in my life either, maybe I would have done anything earlier, but over the years, that desire disappeared more and more. I nodded and swallowed and knocked loud and told them my name so they would know who will enter. Before I could set foot in the room, I was already bombarded with questions from stepmother and Eunbi. I was really surprised by her tone of voice, which didn't sound like always. I think it's more because the stylists and designers are there. They don't want to throw a bad light to them.

When I saw my stepsister, I could not keep my mouth shut. I had to admit that the stylists and designers did a very good job. Eunbi's make-up was not as over-the-top as it usually clanked tons upon her face. Her hairstyle could have sprung from a magazine and her outfit was as pretty as an idols.

"What are you looking at?" Eunbi yelled at me as soon as the manager of Big Hit stepped in and kicked out all but the three of us. He has said that their appearance need to be for BTS now, who will also be there, only they will sit in front. The manager also said that other idols will come too, wanting to experience Sweet Charry live and want to know how Sweet Charry's voice is in live.

A thick lump had formed in my throat at the thought. When I had to think of these many people, my heart slipped in the pants or underpants, because I'm currently wearing no pants.

"Here", stepmother chattered and put a microphone in my hand as we walked into another room, which is right behind the stage and has a good view on it. The microphone will be mute during the gig, and mine will work only.

"Just do not fax or you'll get to know me properly. Then all you love is no longer safe", she threatened dangerously in my ear. Then her daughter chuckled and took the other microphone in her hand and left the room, smiling happily. Of course, she had put on my cats mask, so she really comes across as Sweet Charry.

"You know which song you will sing? Earlier, the fans have voted what it will be. It will be 'Hopeless Love' by Park Jimin", stepmother said without asking me if I know the text or not. Luckily, I know it. Hopefully, Areum will arrive in time before Eunbi will sign the contract and my plan will be canceled. My original plan has fizzled out, so I had to move on to Plan B. All I need is the will of my deceased father and then I can show that I am Sweet Charry and not my stepsister.

"It will begin immediately," said stepmother, who has a big smile on her face. A smile of victory over me and a proud smile on her plan and birth daughter. Also, I have a smile, but not as she has, but another. Which one? - A smile of hope and confidence.
