Dream High (On-Going)

Chapter 19

Ryujin's POV:

"And now, I present to you a performance from the Elites of District 9. Let's give around of applause to SatElites!"

I can't stop myself from laughing when I heard the name of our squad. It's kinda corny but we have no choice since Yeji was the one who chose it

The lights suddenly turned off and I heard the sound of the piano

The lights slowly turned on and I saw Lia standing infront of me looking pretty with her dress

She looks so nervous because of the people around us gossiping about her so I smiled at her and cheered her up when our eyes met

"Fighting, Lia!" I shouted and clapped for her. Her mom clapped for her too together with the other old elites

She started singing and I realized that it's Mark who's play the piano together with Younghoon who's playing the violin

Lia started to sing a familiar song

(Play: Be As One by Twice)

Lia's voice is so soothing and calming at the same time. I closed my eyes to appreciate the message of the song. The song is saying that I'm not alone. That I don’t have to run away even when I am disheartened

That we can become stronger, together

I clapped when Lia finished the song. I smiled at her widely and gave her a thumbs up. She suddenly stepped closer to me and hugged me which made me speechless

"I'm sorry, Ryujin-ah"

Even though I can't see her face, I can tell that she's getting emotional so I patted her back to comfort her

"It's okay, let's forget about it from now on and start a new chapter of our lives"

She broke our hug and gave me a small box. I looked at her confusedly but she just smiled at me and pointed out the name under the box

"Sunwoo asked me to give this to you before he left"

Before he left? Where did he go?

I want to ask more questions but she already disappeared right after the lights turned off

I later on heard a familliar voice singing. The song is unfamiliar to me. I haven't heard it before but that's not what matters the most right now

I'm curious about who's singing because his voice is so mesmerizing

(Play Puzzle Piece by NCT Dream)

The lights slowly turned on and infront of me was Haechan

It's him

It's his voice

He's the one who's singing. He's just looking at me with his drowsy eyes and a smile on his face

I can't understand why he's acting weird lately but I can tell that there's something wrong with him. It feels like something was bothering him these days

I wonder what is it

Chaeryeong, Yeji and Yuna suddenly came out of nowhere and they started dancing infront of me

The song was calm and it's unbelievable how they managed to dance gracefully with the song. I didn't expect them to be this good at dancing. I don't even know that they know how to dance

Haechan grabbed my attention when he suddenly stepped closer to me with a red rose on his hand

He's still singing but his eyes were locked on mine. I suddenly felt awkward because of the way he looks at me
