Quick update right? Hehe hope you enjoy! Just one question to all of you - I have a little cousin coming over tomorrow and I'm wondering you guys know any of those silly jokes that six year olds seem to enjoy? Knock knocks, why did the chicken cross the roads.. Etc. He really likes them and I'm supposed to be entertaining him for a few hours waah! Comment a few please! Wish me luck xo      -o- Heri's POV    One good thing about me was I never got nervous before a performance. I stressed it all out around a week before, and when it got to the stage I usually didn't feel worried or anxious.    I couldn't say the same for some other people backstage with me. A girl was sobbing in the corner, and her friend was trying her best to dab at her running make up desperately.    Everyone receives pressure.. it's just handling it at critical times.   The dance I was performing today was a fast, powerful dance with popping in between the breakdown dubsteps. I really enjoyed learning it and my teacher had said I had improved drastically since last month.    ...Mwehehe I wonder why?   I didn't feel the need to tell her about my personal coach. I had just grinned at her smugly.    One of the most critical things that I had learnt from Jongin oppa was probably the performance aspect of the dance. It was fine getting all the choreography sharp and correct, but the audience won't receive it if you don't have facial expressions.    "Park Heri you're up in 10 minutes." a stage manager called from his position with a clipboard.    I stretched some more, rolling my head around my neck and jumping to keep warm. My costume for the performance was quite funky - a simple white crop top in the style of a long sports bra, and a orange onsie on top. I wasn't zipping up the onsie on the top half of my body though, and I quite liked it. It was casual and easy to move in. My hair was in its natural form: black, long and slightly wavy. It was out of its normal braid though, and just down. I had to practise flicking it over my shoulder naturally.      I was definitely showing a lot more skin than I usually did, and vaguely felt a bit self-conscious but I wasn't embarrassed by my body shape. It was what was expected of an idol, but just with more muscle.    I practised backstage as much as I could, but spent most of the time trying to check out my peers. Shaking out my hands, I took deep breaths as the manager ushered me to the entrance of the stage when it was almost my turn.   I watched the person in front of me go, and it had been the person who had completely broke down into tears before. She was holding out well, but her movements seemed sloppy at parts, and there wasn't much variety in her facial expressions. She just looked stressed.    Once her performance ended, she got off stage and the manager shoved me foreword.   This was it.    -o-    Jongin sat between Sehun and Chanyeol as they watched the showcase. Their trainees were undoubtedly the best, but to him they seemed to pale in front of Heri. Not through their technique, but more through their passion for the subject. He frowned slightly. She wouldn't leave his thoughts for a second and it was getting slightly disconcerting.   "She's been crying, look at her eyes." mumbled Chanyeol, looking pityingly at the girl who had just gotten stage.    "She's one of ours right?" Sehun answered. Jongin nodded. It was Haejin, he remembered.    "I heard she buckles easily under pressure." he said quietly as the music started. His eyes followed her carefully as she performed.    "Yep. This is definitely not her best." Sehun noted, looking distressed. "She's going to be cut."      The other two said nothing, but silently agreed.    Jongin felt the urge to flinch as she rushed through the movements, obviously wanting to get off stage as fast as possible. He felt almost relieved when it was over and she practically ran off stage.   "That was sad." Chanyeol muttered. "I wonder who's next?"   Jongin couldn't help the wide smile that spread across his face when he saw the name that popped up on the screen.    "Hyung why are you smiling like that you're being creepy."    Jongin simply elbowed him and watched as a girl walked out on stage. Sehun let out a low whistle and Chen stiffened as he recognised her.    Well Jongin did not recognise her whatsoever - what was she wearing?!    Jesus, the amount of skin she was showing. He bit his lip as his eyes roved over her form. Although her lower half was completely appropriate clothing in the form of baggy trousers, it did not make up for her upper half which was almost completely visible. The outfit showed off her slim arms, sleek collarbones and flat, toned stomach. Her makeup was very light compared to the other trainees, but her natural beauty shone through.      "She's hot." Sehun commented dryly, and Chanyeol made a noise of agreement. Jongin felt a swell of pride. She was going to kill this stage tonight, he knew it.    When she brought the mic up to begin her multi language introduction, he found himself staring at her lips more than anything else. Her voice was sweet and respectful, and she was polite.    "Hello everyone, my name is Heri and I am very happy and honoured to be performing here tonight. I hope you enjoy my performance!" she said first in English. She then moved onto her other languages, to which he was surprised to find that French was one of. “大家好，我叫河狸，我希望你们都对我的表云感兴趣。Bonjour, je m'appelle Heri, j'éspère que vous aimeraiez ma performance aujourd'hui." Her accents were very impressive, and her tone was very natural.    "Is she going to dance? The top doesn't look very stable" Chanyeol whispered. Jongin flinched when he saw how loose they were.   "Yeah she is. She should be careful." he replied quietly.   "Wait how do you know?" Sehun asked suddenly, and Jongin merely put a finger to his lips as the music started.    Her performance was full of energy, and her facial expressions were extravagant and just on pointe. The popping was perfect and raised cheers from the crowd, but it was near the end of the routine when she did something different to her usual choreography and Jongin frowned. She lifted her leg higher to spin round, and almost fell but she then leapt smoothly into a fast front walkover and continued her dance like it had been planned.    She looked like she was having the time of her life on the stage however, and Jongin couldn't help but feel proud at her improvement.  She then finished with a sly smir
