Staged: A BTS Fanfic

3. Jazmin

The day was here. It was finally audition day. I've been preparing for this day since I came here with Annabelle. I breathe in deeply once, twice, thrice times as I look at the double doors leading towards the largest practice room in the building. 

Yuna comes out of the room, a smile on her face as she rushes toward me. "Your turn," she says as she pulls me into a hug before pushing me towards the doors. 

I stumble inside, almost tripping on myself as I feel the judges stare at me. I look at them and then quickly look down. I bow to show respect before introducing myself. I walk towards the speaker, plugging in my phone as I take in another deep breath to calm myself. 

If Yuna can come out smiling then I can do this. 110 percent Jazmin. 110 percent, I thought to myself as I get into position to dance to AleXa's Bomb. After dancing, I take a quick glance at the panel of judges as I walk to my phone to put on Gashina. Their faces were stone as their stares bore down my back. 

Another deep breath in and out. Gashina starts to play as I count down the beats and start singing.

Annabelle was the last one out of the practice room as the rest of the trainees stood up to say goodbye to the judges. Each one of them gruffly walks by us, only some of them murmuring words of encouragement to select girls. As soon as the last judge is in the elevator, we all stand tall and start talking amongst ourselves. 

"C'mon," Annabelle says as she smiles at both Yuna and me, "Let's go to the tteokbokkii place down the street. All on me!"

Yuna and I cheer as we speed walk towards the elevator. There was nothing better than tteokbokki and banana milk after a whole day of stress. Yuna walks ahead of me giggling as she pushes the button for the elevator and gets on, Annabelle following close behind. 

Before I could rush after her, I run straight into a hard stomach. "Ouch," I mutter, rubbing my nose as I look up. In front of me was no other than V. 

"You should really watch where you're going," V says, a mischievous smile lighting up his face, "Jazz Jazz."

"Shouldn't you have been the one watching out," I snap back, "I mean, you can clearly see me from 500 miles away with how tall you are."

"But you're so short Jazz Jazz. You're overestimating my abilities as a tall person."

I huff out loud as I try to sidestep him but V blocks my path with his long snake-like legs. 

"V, I would really appreciate it if you could move."

V ignores my request as he slowly bends down to meet my eyes, golden flecks dancing about his eyes like goldfish. They were, quite enchanting. 

"Why don't you call me by my real name," V asks, staring down at me. I thought I saw a hint of despair in them before closing my own eyes, taking a step back, and crossing my arms.

"Don't you get it V? As nice as you seem to people, I know the real you. You're just an arrogant boy who only loves life because you're famous. You may seem like you care but you really don't. I don't want to associate myself with someone who is like that. It's far too toxic."

I sidestep V successfully as I rush into the elevator. I let out a deep breath as I close my eyes. V is annoying. He bothers me for no reason at all. He pretends he cares but he really doesn't. He acts like he owns the company because he's famous. But why did he look so sad when we were talking earlier. 

The elevator lands on the first floor as I met with both Annabelle and Yuna. I shake my thoughts of  Teahyung out of my head as I grab both Annabelle and Yuna's hands as we make our way out of the building. Both Annabelle and Yuna question why I was so late coming downstairs but I brush the questions off. There was no need to let them know what happened. 

There was no need because... a part of me wanted to keep it secret.
