Not him, HER

{11- One Step Closer}

Throwing her right leg over her left, her eyes looked down at her knee seeing Bada's hand. She could tell how anxious Leah felt about the whole situation. Sometimes her thoughts consumed her mind and would make her feel anxious even over the smallest things. She over thought them too much making her foot shake or for her to fridge with her rings or necklace. "I think I'm most excited to see Eternal, you guys took so many talented people. I mean you have whacking, ballet, hip hop and other dance styles." Her green blue eyes flickered to Lia who offered her a kind smile. Seeing her smile that way made the corner of her lips turn upwards into a smile. The rest of the women agreed, she definitely took a lot of talented people and placed them in one group. They were all anticipating seeing their performance. On the monitor appeared Daniel and Miyeon. The corner of Leah's lips turning upwards seeing the younger girl on screen. Miyeon smiled brightly at the camera as she held onto a microphone and the card. Her eyes flickering to Kang Daniel who began to speak first explaining what's about to happen. The beautiful brunette woman nodded her head as she continued to smile. Funky Y patted Bada on the shoulder grabbing her attention. She pointed at Leah who couldn't help but smile seeing her member.

"She's the proudest leader out of all of us. I wish someone would look at me that way." Funky Y whispered towards the girl. Both of them watched how Leah stared at Miyeon with so much love and adoration. The first group that decided to go up is Jam Republic. Kirsten intertwined her left hand with Leah feeling nervous but excited about the whole thing. As the crew went on Leah made sure to show her support, she cheered them on even after one member forgot the choreo. She could tell she was panicking trying to remember where she needed to be and what moves to do. Kirsten kept repeating, 'It's okay' and 'keep going.' The girls definitely worked hard and they could all tell. The blonde woman pouted as she saw them all stand in a single file. One of the members was almost crying because of the mistake she had just made.

All the leaders turned to face Kirsten who said she was proud of them no matter what. She didn't have high expectations mostly because it's their first performance. The first time dancing as a group and coming up with choreography. "I want to add that people don't realize that it's hard for them. Especially because they are away from home, I mean in my group we have Marianna and Sakura who live in different parts of the world. Both girls have only one person here supporting them." Leah spoke as she glanced around the room looking at the leaders. She held onto Kirsten's hand as the silver haired woman laid her head on her shoulder. At least they have each other to rely on when things get though. The next group to go up is Team BEBE. Bada's eyes grew big in shock as she turned around to look at her girlfriend. Her lips tugged into a smile as she squealed in excitement. She patted her legs thrilled to see what the concept and dance was all about. Leah scrunch her nose finding her girlfriend quite adorable as she got excited to see her team go up. Everyone gasped in shock hearing the song they chose. All the leaders turned to look at the leader of Eternal who clapped her hands in happiness. They were using a song from Stray Kids, a song she choreographed. "Could you imagine if Eternal chose a song from Stray Kids?" Asked Lia as she chuckled, reaching down for her water bottle.
