Her Only Audience

Chapter 11

And the Netizens immediately noticed Hannah's improvement just by watching the comeback stage. There were comments like:

"Wow... She has improved a lot. Her voice is not shaky anymore...she almost sounded like her studio version." said one

"This is a ballad...maybe she's more comfortable  with ballads than with dance songs? JYP should give Madame more ballads." said another

Still there were comments of doubts:

"They only had a few steps in the song. There was no dance. That's why maybe she can follow the simple steps. Once they sing a dance song again, we would see if she has really already improved."

"That might be a lucky performance. We need to see the next performances to see how consistent she will be like the other 4."

But apparently, there are some Hannah fans that are now bolder to support her with comments like:

"I will give her the 'Best Improvement' award. Our Lady Hannah is so hardworking! And it's paying off. Keep on fighting, we will always support you!"

"Wow, is she empowered by marriage? I liked her beauty from the start but I was a bit doubtful about her talent. But now, I swear she's really the face of the group! She embodies the group perfectly!"

The Madame manager is on a good mood.

“So what happened? Did you observe anything different from how she prepared?” asked the manager

Riz was called by the manager to review the result fo the comeback stage.

“No...it was the same...she was very nervous...well...until her husband came to surprise her.” said Riz

“Oh...I heard Siwon came...” The manager said nodding. So...it seems the marriage is helping Hannah more than he expected.

Can he hope Hannah’s husband is the key to help Hannah fully recover?

----------------------

Hannah is pressured...with that “great” performance and with all the noise it created...she is afraid she’ll not meet expectations...she is sure she just got lucky then...what will she do now?

Hannah saw a call and immediately picked it up when she saw who it is.

“Hello, Oppa?” asked Hannah while eating the noodles she just cooked.

“I saw your performance online...and I also read the comments. You did a good job.” said Siwon

“Yeah, it’s the first time I did...so I am very happy...but...”

“But?” asked Siwon “But what?”

Hannah did not answer for a while.

“Hmm...But?” asked Siwon again

“I’m afraid that I just got lucky the last time. What if I can’t perform like that anymore?” asked Hannah

“Hmm...” Siwon thought this might happen due to the doubting comments he read just a while ago.

“Don’t worry, who knows, you might get lucky again right?” said Siwon

Hannah laughed. “I sure hope so...it was weird though, Oppa. That was the first time I was totally not focused on the performance..my mind was elsewhere...I can’t even remember that I sang at all.” said Hannah “But surprisingly...it was my best performance.”

Hmm...that is quite weird.

Siwon took a few seconds...no a minute to think...

“Oppa? You still there?” asked Hannah

“Hannah.” Siwon said finally.

“Hm?” asked Hannah

“When is your next performance?” asked Siwon

“Tomorrow.” said Hannah

“What time are you free today?” asked Siwon

Today? Weren’t they suppose to meet 2 days from now to see Siwon’s nephew?

“We end rehearsal until 10PM, Oppa.” said Hannah

10PM. Tsk...Siwon has a 5AM flight tomorrow to Jeju for a photoshoot. He needs to go to bed early if he wants to make it to his flight in a good condition.

“10 PM...Hmm...I’ll go over JYP by 10PM then, I’ll meet you somewhere at the back.” said Siwon

“Huh? But...Oppa, are you sure? That’s already late...and why are you coming?” asked Hannah

“There’s just something I want you to do for me later.” Siwon ended the call shortly after that.

What is that? Hannah is troubled.

--------------------

They were done with the rehearsal at 9:30PM. Hannah immediately took her things and ran to the shower room so that she can bathe ahead of everyone else. The entire practice, she keeps on remembering that Siwon will be waiting for her.
