STELLA POV

Hyunjae chuckled to himself as Stella stood in awe, recalling the events of last night. 

"Wait...you two know each other?!" Juyeon gasped, bewildered. 

"Oh yes.." He began. "She's my neighbour," 

"Yahhh, really?!" Eric exclaimed. 

Stella really could not believe that Hyunjae was standing there before her. He really wasn't lying when he said that he had dance practice. 

"Um..I..I have to go. I will catch up with you later, Juyeon," Stella stated, as she scurried out the door and searched frantically for the door displayed with "AUDITIONS".

"but..there's still so much time left..." Juyeon said, dumbfounded. 

Stella rushed into the room, and took a seat next to a girl on the floor in the studio. She came with 20 minutes to spare, so she thought she would introduce herself to some people, especially since she needed the girlfriends. 

"Annyeonghaseyo, My name is Park Stella, or Park RaeHwa. Nice to meet you," She started.

"Hey there, my name is Oh Min-Seo. Nice to meet you too," a voice responded.

She was really pretty. Short brown hair that sat just above her shoulders, clean white skin and very petite. They began talking and getting to know one another, until the manager started to announce names to come and audition. 

Stella's palms were sweaty and her breathing hitched as she stepped up when her name was called. Min-Seo gave her a thumbs up and smiled.

"You got this...," Stella whispered to herself. 

"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Park Stella. I will be performing a billie eilish medley for you, i hope you enjoy,"

Stella was nervous to say the least. She felt that she was beginning to shake a little, but she pushed her nerves aside and took a deep breath as she began to play her guitar, sat on the stool in front of the company. 

She sang: idontwannabeyouanymore x bury a friend x when the party's over x listen before i go x wish you were gay x no time to die. 

Throughout the song, she switched from guitar to piano, piano to guitar, whilst singing. 

As she sang the last note, she sighed and took a deep breath, before bowing politely to the judges. 

An applause filled the air as MinSeo ran to her and hugged her. 

"You were amazing. really, you are truly incredible and talented," MinSeo smiled. 

"We will be in contact with your results, Miss Park. You may leave now." 

Stella thanked them and left, after wishing MinSeo good luck, and exchanging numbers with her. She walked towards the door, and saw 3 boys with their ears positioned as if pressed against something. 

"Juyeon?...Chanhee?...Hyun..Jae?"

"It was Juyeon's idea. I am only here because he forced me to be on the bottom so he could look into the window." Hyunjae stated, with a hint of sadness in his voice. 

Stella rolled her eyes, and looked to Juyeon. "How did I do?" Stella asked. 

Juyeon truly had no words. "You...you...you were unbelievable," he stuttered, turning pink.

"Thank you...," Stella said sheepishly, also turning pink. 

HYUNJAE POV 

Even though Hyunjae was against the idea, he followed Juyeon and Chanhee to the door and crouched for them to climb on top. As much as he hated to admit it, he really wanted to hear Stella's voice, if she could even sing that was. 

He pressed his ear hard against the door, listening intently. A stunning voice was not what he was expecting. Her voice was beautiful, magical - angelic in fact. She was truly gifted - playing the guitar, piano, and singing alltogether. She was really perfect - but Hyunjae could never admit that.

JUYEON POV 

Juyeon was really desperate to hear Stella's voice. He had a deep feeling that she would have an amazing voice - and she did. 

The 3 boys had their ears pressed against the door. Chanhee couldn't help but wonder one question. 

"Hyung...do you perhaps...have a crush on Stella?" Chanhee began. 

"Yes," Juyeon and Hyunjae stated at the same time. 

"Huh?!" Juyeon and Hyunjae looked at each other. 

"Did you say something, hyung?" Juyeon asked.

"Me? um..no. I didn't." he said, chuckling to cover it up. Juyeon sighed. He really did like Stella - too much for his own good. Chanhee heard Hyunjae, however he really didn't want to cause any trouble between them, so he brushed it off. 

The door opened and the three of them looked up to see Stella. Juyeon complimenting her and them both blushing really irked Hyunjae -  but he could never interfere now.
