Chapter 21
When Dark Turns Into LightJihyun's POV:
I bit her lip in anticipation as she nervously hopped from one foot to another. Currently, I was backstage at Music Bank. In a few minutes I would be making my debut as a soloist. We Got Married cameras were following myevery move. My cellphone vibrated in her pocket. Fishing it out I found two unread messages lighting up the screen.
Breathe in and out. You'll do fine Jinnie. - <3 Your hubby
YOU WILL DO GREAT AND GET THAT NUMBER 1 SPOT. -Hyuna
"JIhyun? You're on after this act." The stage manager ushered me to a different section of the stage. I found Eric Nam standing there with his manager as make up artists finished their last minute touches. He glanced to his side and sent me a reassuring smile. Jihoon appeared by my side, hand out.
