JULIA
Breathe in. Breathe out.
It's okay, Lia. You're gonna be okay.
"next is... Choi Julia?"
I stood up from my seat and grabs my guitar. It took only a few seconds that I realized I already stands on the stage and all I can see were the judges that staring at me with so much hope. Especially the guy with the dark hair.
"you can start whenever you like, dear" The woman with the eye smile said.
I nodded and fixed the mic position and my seat, I can see how my hands were trembling and how my heart beats so fast right now.
Relax, Lia. Relax. This is gonna be over soon.
I let out another deep breath and look up to the judges again, my eyes then locked with Soobin, who gave me a small smile. That kind of calms me down a little bit.
Here goes nothing...
"1... 2... 3...."
I strum the guitar and started singing the first verse.
Ijeneun yeonrakjocha batjil anha
Now you won't even pick up my calls
Neo daesin deullineun mumigeonjohan moksori
Instead of you, I hear a dull voice
Himdeun naldeuldo issneun geonde Jamkkaneul mot igyeo
There are always hard days, But you can't win over that moment
Tto dareun daeaneul chajaga
and you look for an alternative
Shit. I'm actually doing this in front of people, not just in front of Danny and my family on Karaoke night. Just close your eyes, Lia. Just let the song sinks.
