from me to you | liskook

Saying that I am stunned at the sight before me is an understatement. I was in a total state of shock that I can't even process clearly the whole ordeal that I am facing, nor how to react to it.

Here I am, in the female's washroom, trying to grasp the whole situation and fighting the feeling of my legs turning into jelly. Without much thinking, I dashed from one of the cubicles towards the door without looking back. I hastily sprinted back to the waiting room where my other companions are staying at the moment.

"Lisa!"

The girl with the red hair went towards me with a questioning look as I opened the door, panting.

"What happened to you? You look like you have seen a ghost."

"Did you get lost?" Another girl with raven hair, having her make up fixed looked at me curiously and smirked, "Again?"

I simply shook my head in response. I don't think that I will find any appropriate response after what I have witnessed earlier. I felt myself flushing hard by just the mere thought of it.

"Are you sick?" The strawberry blonde girl asked me while feeling my forehead, "Why are you so red and warm?"

"U-um, I j-just..." I stammered, trying to look for words.

They just raised their eyebrows at me waiting for my reply.

"It was just probably because I was running from the ladies going here." I answered at last, giving them the most convincing smile I could muster.

It looks like they did not take notice of my forced smile and tensed gestures as they went back to what they were doing.

Phew.

The last thing I want to do right now is to recount to them the most traumatic experience I've had, like literally five minutes ago. I took a deep breath, pushing all thoughts from my mind and settled on the chair to have my hair and make up redone.

Putting my earbuds on and listening to music, I felt myself starting to zone out and relax. This is not exactly the right time for me to be distracted because minutes from now, we will be rehearsing for our comeback stage with two of our new songs.

This comeback is just as important as our debut stage. The immense success of both our debut songs has set the bar higher for us, so the result of this comeback will determine whether our previous achievement is just a fluke or not. Adding the fact that we are from one of the big three entertainment agencies in South Korea, the pressure is just building up.

Ugh.

Thinking about it makes me want to throw up and run away. That, however, is not an option. I have come a long way to just give up. I have sacrificed a lot just to be here!

These are the words that I kept on telling myself whenever I was feeling hopeless and about to surrender. All those years of training that felt like an eternity, and now I'm here! I have finally attained what I have aspired to be and I would definitely give my 100% in it.

Even that little incident earlier wont faze me.

Ugh. Shut up brain! I clearly instructed you to shove that horrendous thought away.
