Chapter 29: ONE MIC

I went back to my room and locked myself there. I am crying right now. I’m sorry Mark. It’s just that things should not go this way. I’m sorry I can’t do anything.

“Unnie!” Jimin keeps on knocking on my door. “Don’t you want to eat with us?”

I wiped my tears and pretended that I’m not crying.

“I’m full Jimin. Thanks for asking.” I said while I’m still staying at my room.

I’m torn between two things, my dream and Mark.

I’ve waited for this long for my dream and suddenly you came, Mark. I don’t know what to choose right now. I don’t know what to do.

I took my phone and just look for some tweets or posts.

When I opened my IG account, Mark’s post was the first one I saw. It was a picture of Peter Pan crying with a caption “You mean more to me than anything in this world.”

Peter Pan told that in the movie. He knew it and it breaks my heart even more. Please don’t say that Mark. I’m trying my best to ignore you right now. I really have a very sensitive heart and a sensitive personality.

A lot of fans commented, “Don’t worry oppa, we’ll always be your Tinkerbell.”

I wished I didn’t open my IG account.

I turned my phone off so no one will be able to contact me for a while.

“Unnie!” Jimin shouted again. “JYP-ssi is looking for you.”

JYP? Haaay. -_-

I immediately wiped my eyes, opened the door and went out of my room.

I greeted JYP.

“Newbies will be joining us tomorrow on the ONE MIC. On the last part, you’ll be there too. You just need to show your faces there.” he said.

“Oh, okay.” I said.

“I just dropped by to say that. Oh did you just cry Rhianne?” JYP said.

I shook my head and pretended, “I suddenly felt dizzy maybe due to migraine but I’m resting now.”

“Oh is that so? Take a rest now so you’ll be okay tomorrow.” JYP said.

JYP was about to go out when JB was in front of the door.

“Oh, JB. What are you doing here?” JYP asked.

“Oh, I was just about to ask Rhianne something.”

JYP looked at me. “Rhianne, JB is going to ask you something. I’m going.”

I wonder what JB will ask me. I pretended that my head is aching as I approached the door. “Is there something you wanted to ask?”

“What happened?” he asked.

“About what?” I said.

“About you and Mark.” he said.

“I told you, nothing happened.” I said.

“Then why are you ignoring him?” he said.

I looked down and said nothing and here comes the awkward silence.

“So you’re really ignoring him. Did he do something?” he said..

Don’t ask me more JB. Please?

I took a deep breathe.

“JB, I know you’re concerned with your group but it has nothing to do with Mark. If he thinks that I’m ignoring him please let him know that I’m sorry. I didn’t mean him to feel that way. But, there are things in this world that are better off unknown.” I said.

I went inside our dorm leaving JB there.

ONE MIC

Everyone was so busy. The staffs are preparing the music, the lights, everything. You can see that everyone is feeling nervous with this.

6mix and I were together inside the dressing room. Actually we don’t have a special number we’re just going to join the JYP team on the last part of the concert.

“Rhianne, someone is looking for you.” a staff said.

I went out of the room.

“Ui Bong?!” I exclaimed.

I can’t contain my feels. So I immediately hugged him.

“How are you?” I hit his shoulders. “Why did you leave without saying anything?”

He put his hands on his nape. “I’m sorry. Something happened at home. I really need to go back there.”

“Is everything fine now?” I asked.

“Uhm, everything is a little better now. I still can’t attend the training but I’m happy you’re going to debut.” he said.

I gave him a sad look.

“UI BONG???” Jimin said.

Jimin hugged Ui Bong so tight.

“Yah, Jimin. I can’t breathe.”

“Oh, sorry.” Jimin said. “Are you going to be a trainee again? I missed you so much. There’s no one who’s noisy during acting class.”

“You’re still there so it’s still noisy.” Ui Bong said. “Soon, I’ll return. I promise.”

Jimin smiled. Suddenly I saw Mark looking at us. He immediately removed his eyes from us the moment I saw him.

“Papa Tuan!” Jackson said.

I looked at my back and saw Mark’s father.

Everyone greeted him and Mark went near him. He is together with Mark’s mom, Mark’s siblings with the Koh Family.

“Rhianne!” Jessica said.

I smiled at her and hugged her. She whispered to me, “Where’s Jr?”

I smiled at her. “I’l
