His Obsession | kooku

Chapter 22: Save Me

"Don't be nervous. You can do it."

Jieun kept talking to herself for the past 30 minutes. She was so nervous. She's hoping she won't forget the lyrics once she's on stage.

"You're Jieun eonnie, right?"

Jieun turned to the blonde haired girl and smiled. "Uhm, yes. Hi. You are?"

"Rosé. Park Rosé." She had the warmest smile. Her eyes twinkle together with her aura. She looks nice—or so Jieun thought.

"Hi. Nice to meet you."

She sat beside Jieun and hugged her all of a sudden. Jieun didn't know what to react so she hugged her back. But she almost froze when Rosé whispered to her.

"Prepare to loose, eonnie. I came here to win."

She broke the hug, Jieun can see the fire in her eyes but she suddenly turned back to her warm expression from awhile ago.

"I'll see you around, eonnie." She waved her hand. "Good luck." Her last words sounded so insincere.

The whole situation didn't helped and it just made her more anxious.

The door suddenly opened and all of the contestants in the room turned their attention to the people walking inside. The contestants gathered together to greet them.

"How is everyone doing? You guys nervous?" Said one of the judges.

"We're doing great, sir! Right?" Rosè answered and they all nodded with her, except Jieun.

Two men entered the room and the girls can't help but to scream at their appearances. They whispered at each other, telling how hot the two men are.

"Aigoo. Don't strain your voices girls." Said one of the female judges.

Jieun gasped when she saw her man, staring straight at her. His facial expression is neutral but she can see his emotions through his eyes. She bit her lip, trying to stop herself from smiling. He's wearing an orange suit with his perfectly styled hair. Damn. He looks good in everything he wears.

"You're Jieun-ssi, right?"

Jieun bowed at the blonde man who went inside the room together with Jungkook. "Y-Yes."

"Good luck." He smiled a little, showing his gummy smile.

"Thank you, sir." She said politely.

He chuckled at her. "Just call me Yoongi."

"T-Thank you, Yoongi-ssi." They both exchanged smiles but was interrupted when Rosè suddenly went in front Jungkook, extending her one arm.

"Jungkook-ssi, it's so nice to meet you. I'm a big fan—"

"I'll be cheering you from my seat, baby."

Jieun froze from where she was standing when Jungkook went to her, completely ignoring Rosè, and whispered in her ears.

"Good luck, everyone."

The judges left one by one. The last ones to leave were the female judge and Jungkook.

"Gosh! He's really rude." Rosè stomped her feat lightly. "That's why I like him." She smiled, glancing at the doorway one last time before turning to Jieun, giving her a death glare.

Jieun immediately turned her back and ignored her glares. She focused on calming herself, Rosè is the least of her concern now.

The staffs ordered them to get ready as the show will start in 10 minutes. Jieun went outside of the waiting room to get some fresh air but the scenario outside just made her condition worse. There were lots of people on the halls, running and organizing things as the show will start in a few.
