~Yuna~

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

I saw the first model leaving, it was as if I had stopped breathing. The lights were now on, I saw behind the screen that it was dark out there. The music was loud enough for us and probably the entire street to hear and not to mention, I was about to throw up

I am nervous, who wouldn't be ? There would be tons of important people out there and I just had to make one small tiny mistake just to disappoint him and that was not.. what I wanted.

"You're okay?" Changmin asked as he put his arm around my shoulders. I shook my head

"I'm about to throw up"

"Don't. Just think of the small event we had yesterday. This is fun Yuna. You remember the crowd? You remember the cheers afterwards? They're cheering for you. Take that adrenaline, find the sparkle. I assure you, you will not regret this. It's an amazing feeling when you get out there..." Changmin said

~Flashback~

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

"Changmin, where are you taking me? We should be at the office, helping Mr.Kim right now"

"No, We're.. having fun tonight" Changmin smiled

"Huh?"

"We're having F-U-N tonight. I'm going to show you that being on stage, is the best thing you can ever do. You don't have to be good at something in order to be on stage, you can be... just you" Changmin smiled as he continued to drive

I was starting to get worried, not just only about what Changmin were planning but I was also worried about JaeJoong, him being angry and disappointed at me. I had to find a solution for him but... why aren't there any options? It just seemed like an impossible thing to do at the moment. I promised myself that if I could keep this job, I would definitely make ties, find models and be friends with them and if there is a situation like this ever again, I'm going to force my friend to walk for me..

We soon arrived downtown, parking outside some kind of club and when I got out of the car, I could hear music coming from the inside. But the weird thing was... it was horrible. It was not pleasant to your ears... instead.. it was painful

"Where in the world are we?"

"Welcome to Freak Night" Changmin laughed

"What are we doing here? Why did you take me here? We should be .."

"Just chill. As I said, we're having fun. Let's go"

I sighed as I dragged my feet after Changmin. I might as well do as he wants since I wasn't able to get home without him taking me, I had no idea where we were too so that would make it a lot more difficult for me...

"CHANGMIN!!!" The guard said happily when we came to the front door

"Hi!"

"It's been awhile. Coming here to laugh and applaud as usual?"

"Yup. My friend here.. needs to relax a bit.. She seems to be.. very... tense.." Changmin smiled at him

"Sure thing. Your friends are my friends. Come in Come in"

We came inside after the guard let us pass, we didn't have to wait in line like the other people were. I stayed close to Changmin, just in case we were somewhere where I could.. I don't know.. get hurt. But not that I think that Changmin would take me anywhere just to let us get hurt, but who knows.. I'm just being paranoid as always..

We finally arrived at the main room where everyone was sitting. People were laughing and applauding and I soon found the reason why.

A boy on stage who didn't know how to sing or play the keyboard, was being the entertainer at the moment. Maybe that is why they call this club a Freak Night.
I followed Changmin as a tail, trying to not loose sight of him as he was looking for some seats.
In the end we found right in front of the stage at the front and as soon as we seated, the boy got off stage and a girl came up.

Everyone applauded, whistled and soon the music came on. This was a karaoke bar !
The girl smiled happily at the crowd and suddenly she started to sing. It was painful

My ears wanted to be cut off at the moment she started to sing but the thing was, she didn't care if she couldn't sing or not because she was laughing and seemed like she was having a good time. People started to laugh at her goofiness and applauded along with the song and they even sang along

A smile started to appear on my lips as I sang along with the song as well and applauded to the beat.
When it was over she got off the stage and the MC for the night came up and laughed

"We really have crazy singers tonight and we want more!!!!!" He shouted

Cheers broke out from the audience and suddenly a scream was heard across the table. I looked to the left to see Changmin cheering and screaming crazily. He was laughing his head off at the same time and seems like he was having fun. I couldn't help but to join him and the others, scream and shout as well

About 30 minutes passed and I finally found the fun in the club. There was a lot of crazy singers but they were all fun. The way they sang, acted on the stage. They were so serious and they didn't care if they couldn't sing. As long they were having a good time along with the audience

"NOW WHO'S NEXT?!??!?!" The MC shouted and looked at the audience

I smiled happily as I looked around, waiting for someone to come up

"YOU TWO!!!"

Changmin stood up immediately and cheers broke out

"THE GIRL TOO!"

My eyes instantly widened in shock as Changmin helped me to stand up

"CHANGMIN! NO!" I whispered

"We can't go back now" He smiled

He pulled me up on stage and we were both handed 2 microphones and then the music started. I recognized the song of course, it was the song from the musical Grease, You're the one I want

The crowd cheered and applauded and I was standing there like a fool, the dimmed light on me as I was staring at the tv-screen in front of me

"Don't think Yuna. Just sing. Let everything out. HAVE FUN" Changmin said to me

"Sing.." He encouraged me

It felt like I had to sing since the crowd where cheering wildly and I didn't want to destroy the mood by not singing, so I took a deep breath and started

As soon as the song started I sang along and suddenly cheers broke out. I was surprised and the overwhelming feeling, the adrenaline by the audience's voices and cheers took me over and suddenly I felt excited

Changmin laughed and when it was his turn he started to circulate around me, and then he started to tease me. I felt like I had to do it back, because he was teasing me, so why couldn't I as well?
I raised an eyebrow cockily, joking of course and sang.
When the chorus came the entire crowd sang along. When the female part came up again suddenly all the girls in the crowd were singing along and I couldn't help but to laugh while singing.

When it was the male part all the guys sang along, even those who were drunk and I started to feel the desire to sing more, stay here on stage forever..

--

"WOW! THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!" I said happily after we came out from the club

"It was nice right? All the people, the mood and everything!" Changmin said happily

"Yes and everyone singing along and ... the feelings when you're on stage.. I totally forgot my ... stage fright" I said and stopped by the car.

Changmin smiled widely and then came towards me.

"That was my intention for taking you here, I wanted to get rid of your stage fright, showing you, letting you feel how it is... to be on stage. It's exciting right? Overwhelming? The feelings and having the crowd with you.. Isn't it amazing?"

"It's... I don't know.. I can't describe it" I said

"I know and.. this is what you're going to feel tomorrow Yuna. When you are walking for Jae, you will be feeling all of this. Maybe not like this, since it will be serious but when you hear the applause when you get on stage, you'll feel amazing..."

~End of flashback~

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

I watched the fourth model going out on the runway, only 10 more until it was my turn. I was breathing heavily, trying to calm myself down and tried to not embarrass anybody since I didn't want to make a name for myself and for JaeJoong.

"Breathe... and have fun. That's the most important part, have fun Yuna" Changmin said as he passed me by

It was his time to walk and then he was gone. The other male model went out as well.. and then the female...

Now it was only one person before me and I started to panic a bit. I had to do this right. Just remember what had happened yesterday. I have to think of what JaeJoong said.
Arrogant attitude. Blank expression and I had to pose at the end of the runway.

Suddenly Changmin came back with a huge smile on his face and he went right over to me and in the next second I was in his arms

"Have fun"

"Yuna you're up!"

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

~JaeJoong~

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

I know the last outfit was coming up at any second right now and that would be Yuna walking. I was nervous, I wanted to rip apart the paper I had in my hands and I was biting on my lip hard.

Suddenly there she was. I gasped at the blank expression that perfectly suited her and the dress that was tightly on her body, forming her curves and her long curly hair flying with the wind as she was walking.

She was confident and there was no anxiety, panic, fear or any signs of nervousness. She was a pro.
I couldn't help but to stare at her as she walked, her eyes was always looking forward and at the end, she posed 3 times before turning around and making her way back.

Not only was I dazzled, I was shocked and just to see how professional she acted, it was almost scary. What had made her change her mind like that? What did Changmin do to her?

Soon all the models came out, walking while applauding and the models were smiling as they were walking. I knew it was my time to walk up on the runway then and I waited until I saw Yuna, who then slowed down in order to let me catch up with her and then I waited for her to grab my arm, so that we could down the runway arm-in-arm together

"What made you change your mind?" I asked as he smiled and waved at the audience

The Cheers was loud, people were applauding enthusiastically .

"Changmin helped me with that.. He... showed me some things.. and somehow helped me to get rid of my fear.. of stages and crowds" Yuna smiled as she walked

We came to the end of the runway and Yuna stood there applauding while I was waving and bowing to the audience. I knew this was my time to give my last model a kiss on the cheek and I turned to her and smiled

"This is the kissing part?" She said while applauding. She was looking away from me and I guess she was embarrassed. Changmin must have told her about this

I nodded quickly and leaned forward to give her a quick kiss on the cheek and then we turned around, while waving, walking back together to the backstage

When we came backstage, everyone was applauding for me and bowing to me. I waved at them and applauded myself

"Successful and you were all amazing. Now change for the after party" I cheered

Everyone screamed and laughed, applauded and cheers broke out before everyone started to leave the place in order to get ready for the party.

"Yuna" I called for her. She stopped in her tracks and spun around to look at me

"Yes?"

"Thank... You" I said and looked at her

Yuna smiled

"Of course Mr.Kim. An assistant should be there for you.. helping you when there's no way out" She said

"But.. how come you changed your mind..? I know Changmin helped you with that but... did it have such a strong impact on you that you decided to walk for me anyway?" I asked, couldn't help but wonder why they didn't make another model walk twice instead of having Yuna walk. That could've been an solution but it was better than nothing...

I could handle some critics about me having a model walking for me twice on the runway.

"The feelings... I felt at the place Changmin took me to, was amazing. I loved all of it, the adrenaline, the excitement and the feeling of knowing that the crowd's with you. I wanted to feel that again and Changmin told me that walking on the runway would be almost the same, just that... it's another feel. It will be the same feelings just.. different.. somehow... and also.. I didn't want to disappoint you. I agreed to help you in the first place and of course I was... considering finding another one for you.. but the main reason all along was.. I didn't want to disappoint you"

After that Yuna smiled happily at me before turning around to go and change for the after-party.

She left me shocked and surprised, stunned not to mention and also speechless. She said she didn't want to disappoint me...I really did underestimate Yuna, in all kinds of ways because of the daily arguing we're having...

I looked at her as she was standing a few feet away talking to Junsu and Changmin

And for the first time, in a very long time... I felt somewhat touched over her concern for me. She didn't want to disappoint me and in order to not do that, she .. overcame her fear... and helped me..

Maybe Dong Ho was right, maybe there is something about her...
