The next day, I was up early, unable to sleep much. As I got in the car leading us to Show ! Music Core, I put on my earphones and listened to some music.
" Hyerim-ah, we have arrived " an excited Minnie woke me up.
I had fallen asleep.
We got our makeup done, put on our outfits and went to perform on stage. I felt the same feeling I had felt the day before : a lot of excitement and energy from the crowd (a/n : this parallel universe is covid-free yayyy), but also quite a bit of apprehension.
On that day, we had no other schedule except a post-performance interview with the hosts, Chani from SF9 and Hyunjin from Stray Kids.
They were a big deal and this interview made me feel pretty nervous. However, they made us comfortable before the camera rolled on so it went smoothly.
After that, we ran onto TXT who were getting ready for their performance. We talked for a bit.
" Beomgyu ? " I asked quietly.
His face shyly turned to me with a little smile showing on the corners of his lips.
" Where is Yeonjun ? "
" Oh, that... " his smile faded away. " He felt sick, I don't think he'll be here for the rest of our promotions. "
" Oh alright... fighting for your stage then " I looked at the ground.
This couldn't be a coincidence.
Did he fake being sick so he could avoid me ?
No, Hyerim, the world doesn't revolve around you. You barely even know the guy, get to your senses.
After we got back to the dorms and ate, I decided to text Mark.
Hyerim
hi there
Mark
hyerim ! how are you ?
Hyerim
i still can't believe we
finally debuted tbh
Mark
i know that feeling
you deserve it though !
Hyerim
ahh that's nice of you
i'm lucky to have a senior
like you for a friend
I immediately typed something else after sending that last text.
Hyerim
we're friends... right ?
Mark
hahahaha of course we are
Hyerim
phew...
Hyerim
anyway, i am once again
asking for your help
Mark
that's what friends
are for :)
Hyerim
well....... could you give me
yeonjun's number ?
beomgyu said he is sick and
won't participate in the group's
promotions for a while
Mark
oh
i see
well
hm
i guess he really is sick then
Hyerim
you think that he
is faking it... ?
Mark
he could have, but it's his
job we're talking about, and
he loves being on stage
so i find it odd
anyways, here's his number
Hyerim
i see...
well, thank you mark !!
i can give you dayoung's
in exchange ;)
Mark
...
