Chapter 96. Merry Love

Taeyeon's POV

I nervously crumple the scratch paper on my hand while the make-up artist is doing a retouch on my face. I bite my lower lip and get another scratch of paper. However, the make-up artist seemed to notice my behaviour since she's been glancing at me curiously.

"Is something the matter, Black Pearl?" She politely asks with a concern tone of her voice. I look at her reflection by the mirror and smiled while shaking my head, "Nothing to worry about actually. I'm just too nervous," I reasoned, which is half of it was true.

"Well, you don't have to be too nervous when you're good-looking on stage. You're so cool, awesome and more! I'm now your number one biggest fan!" The make-up artist squeals in delight. I shyly smiled, "Thanks. That helps me boost my confidence again,"

"By the way, I'll be the one who's going to do your hair. Mr. Jang said that your supposed to be hairstylist was not feeling well. But don't worry, Black Pearl, I'm good in hairstyles," I nodded at her opinion and look down.

Not long after, the door creaked open to find a man rushing towards us with papers on his hands. He bows as soon as he's now behind me, "Good evening, Taeyeon-ah! The Black Pearl leader wants to give the lyrics to you in case if you forgot some of the lines. Anyways, just for practice," He handed me the lyrics of Baekhyun and I's song.

I smiled at him and receive the papers on my hand. "Thank you," I thanked as he also bowed again before exiting the dressing room. "Well, while I do your hair, you should be practicing at the same time!" The make-up artist said as I also smiled for a little bit and starts reading the lyrics.

Why is it that, most of my solo or duet performances gone epic fail at first? I mean, Suga and I haven't practiced together before. So as for J-Hope! But.. Now, also Baekhyun. Did I forgot the supposed to be schedule for our practice? But as far as I know, there were no schedules scheduled for me before.

While the make-up artist was busy doing my hair, I'm also busy remembering my line and such. Making sure if I pronounce the word accurately, emphasizing the main sentence and even singing it in a perfect tone and note. I didn't even realize that I'm now singing it in a smooth way, "Wow. Your voice is just so unique," The make-up artist complimented.

In an instant, blood hurriedly rush through my cheeks. "K-kamsahamnida," I wryly said while looking down. "I envy those people who were gifted with beautiful and golden voices. Such as you," I stare at her for a moment by the front mirror.

"I-I'm still improving my singing skills. I think it is not enough, or is it, it is not that beautiful yet," Taeyeon's lips curved into a frown. "Why? Are you still not satisfied with what you had right now? I say, it's just your thought that persuading you to think for some negative thought. But in the eyes and ears of the people, they heard more than enough. It was just too high for them to reach your own high notes, Taeyeon-ah. You should be thankful that you had such as a gift," She's right. I should learn to be contented.

I bite my lower lip and stare at myself by the mirror. Will I still become as this beautiful after this night? Will I ever be the person they were proclaiming as a goddess even if this time will come to an end? Will I still be the Cinderella that they were been looking out?

It snap me back from my senses when the make-up artist sprayed my hair as a finishing touch. "There. You're good to go!" She exclaims as I examine my hair of the way she did it. I smiled in satisfaction when I find it really beautiful and attractive, "Be ready, Taeyeon-ah. Two performers are left and it'll be your turn to hit your special performance together with the Black Pearl leader. I'll be going out for a moment," She bows and tap my shoulder with a smile before she strode off the door.
