It took a crazy long time before it got to Yura's turn.Too much nervousness dwelled in her stomach making it feel heavy like she had binge-eaten. She felt intimidated by girls who were more fitting for the role in terms of beauty and stage charisma,dancing and singing.She had more than enough dirt on Mr Hong to make him debut her.She lied about paying bloggers to talk about the news.She said that to threaten him but that doesn't mean she wouldn't do so if for some reason he doesn't add her in the group.
The ball was still in her court.Comforted by that thought, she waited patiently for her turn.Soon her number was called.After a few seconds of breathing in and out to calm her raging nerves a little,Yura walked up the stage podium at the center of the hall.Lots of eyes settled on her as she did.
She followed the same pattern that others did.A brief introduction of her name and greetings to the judges.
There were eight judges,most of which were some of the agency idol's and industry big names.Among them was him.Kim Tae Sung. 'didn't he had a shoot?' Yura thought,he smiled at her.Some of the others had stern displeased looks on their faces.Yura wasn't deterred by them and went on dancing as the music began playing.A spotlight shone on her as the rest of the room went dark.
She was lost in the beginning and was constantly going out of steps to dance to the upbeat hip-hop song blasting from an unseen speaker.
If she went on like this, there's no way she would make the lineup.It seemed unthoughtful but she gave up trying to do steps that she had memorised and just let loose of herself.Letting her body and feet do whatever dance they could. Almost everyone was dazzled by her moves and magnetic charisma. There is a reason why the stage was built.It was to check and rate every trainnee's stage presence to see if they could keep a crowd engaged it went more than just being able to sing and dance.
Tae Sung quickly rated her a ten.He was more than hypnotized seeing Mi Yeon perform.It wasn't even a real stage performance but it got his stomach reeling with butterflies.She never had this in her.The girl he knew before was completely different from the one on stage.She switched up completely into a different person after the incident. And he liked this new Mi Yeon alot better than the old one.She changed for the better.
Some of the judges who were initially disappointed now watched in awe at her jaw dropping performance.The music stopped and she was asked to sing afterwards.Yura sang 'Heart attack' by demi Lovato and 'Delcacomaine' by Mamamoo.Her vocals were on point and steady. "Was she always this good?"
"I don't believe it! How did she turn from a loser to an ace overnight?"
"Daebak! Is that really Mi Yeon?"
Criticism and praise were whispered by the other trainees and staff alike.
Two floors above from the hall ground stood a figure dressed in black hoodie and cargo pants.His heterochromic eyes focused on the girl performing.She is the reason he was there at that moment.
