Decisions

Alaska's POV

After I finished the performance I felt like crap to be completely honest. I danced with every last bit of energy I had but I didn't think it was enough. People still messed up, I guess that's okay but it really affects the score. I was scared.

I was trying to control my breathing at the end of three performances as I held my ending pose, it was hard. The others managed to hold the ending pose as well but I could tell they were even more tired than I was. I felt bad because I know they want to show their potential but just because you work hard for something doesn't mean you're enough. Sometimes doing your absolute best still isn't enough...

My team all went into a straight line and bowed down to the audience who cheered which made my heart feel warm. They seemed to like it which made me happy. The dance team got on stage with us which slightly made me uncomfortable. Please judges, let us pass we worked so hard for this performance and some students got really upset at me. What if I overworked them all for nothing?

"Looking at the results we did see something that the dance team didn't really have and compared it to ABO." Mr. Spellman said. "But there's also something in the dance team that ABO hasn't perfected."

You swallowed harshly as you placed your hands behind your back and look down for a few seconds and then proceed to look back up at your fate.

"The dance team has had no mistakes in their performance, everything was executed perfectly while ABO made mistakes." Ms. Waters said. "ABO looked prepared but they seem to have not a lot of practice and they struggle to achieve some parts."

Mr. Spellman looked at Ms. Waters and nodded his head agreeing with her, my heart was beating so fast. Was she going to eliminate us then? I started to look down in disappointment, it was my fault that my team didn't do their very best.

"However," Mr. Spellman spoke. "The dance team played it safe like they always do. It gets boring to watch performances with little to no new surprising and exciting dance moves. You cannot see the charisma and passion in their moves, it's like a robot that's being forced to dance."

I looked up with hope in my eyes, was it true? They really meant that?

"I agree with Spellman," Ms. Waters smiled softly. "ABO has shown their true colors, it looks like they work hard for what they are passionate about. You guys work as a team but also individually, there are some things you lack in but all you need is more practice. You guys seem like a true team, I see the feelings and emotions written all over the dance your faces."

Mr. Spellman stood up with Ms. Waters and smiled proudly. "ABO has passed, you are now officially this school's second dance group."

I looked at my team who immediately cheered and jumped up in excitement, we did it. They all hugged each other while I stood alone watching them with a smile on my face.

"Alaska! Get in!" Bella giggled and motioned for me to get in the group hug.

I hugged all the members and embraced this moment, I couldn't believe that we passed!

When I walked off the stage with my team I was greeted by a tall man who reminded me of Gordan Ramsey, wait was that-

"Aren't you JYP?" I gasped.

"Yes." JYP chuckled.

Wait, do I bow? That's what they do in Korea right? It wouldn't be appropriate for me to do it in America... Unless...

"Oh my god." I smiled and held my hands together with nervousness rushing through my veins. "Hi, my name is Alaska! Thank you so much for visiting America, what can I do for you?"

I didn't notice who was standing next to JYP because of how nervous I was, I was just so confused to see him in my school like how does that even happen?

JYP turned to his right and spoke to the boy next to him with red hair who looked a lot like feli-

HOLY COW IS THAT FELIX LEE?

I choked on my own spit while JYP spoke Korean to Felix and then finally Felix turned to me with a smile.

"JYP says if you could follow us out the auditorium and talk in the hallways, there's too much noise in this assembly." He said in his thick Aussie accent.

"Y-Yeah." I was shaking at this point because Felix is my bias in Stray kids. WHO WOULDN'T BE SHAKING AT THIS POINT.

I walked with them into the hallway and looked at JYP with a nervous look on my face, I had no idea why they wanted to talk to me.

"So JYP can understand you but thinks you'll be more comfortable talking to me who is around your age. So I'll just tell you what he tells me," Felix says and turns to JYP and then back to me.

"Got it." I looked at Felix and admired his visuals up close, I have never met an idol in person.

"We are scouting girls to become trainees and to debut in a survival show that will be airing in 2 months, we saw your performance out there and JYP thinks you have the talent to dance really well," Felix says. "Do you know Twice?"

I nodded my head up and down with a small smile while Felix goes to say that JYP compared me to Momo and says I reminded him of her but when she was on Sixteen. It touched my heart but they scouted me? I wasn't that good to be completely honest there should be other girls that got this opportunity.

"I would get hate though." I interrupted Felix to which he studied my facial expressions. "I'm sorry but I may look a bit Asian because of my eyes, however, I'm not Asian at all and it would be wrong to go into an industry that I am not ethnically apart of."

It broke my heart because I know I wouldn't get another opportunity like this but it's just the truth, how could they expect me to become a trainee when I wasn't Asian at all! The public would drag me and I've already seen it happened.

"Then we debut you in a non-k-pop group, it won't have k-pop at all and you can perform as an American singer," Felix explained with a reassuring smile. "Do you know who I am?"

"Felix," I chuckled. "You're from Stray Kids."

"Oh wow, I didn't think you would know." He laughed. "Well if you make it as a trainee, we can offer you the opportunity to become a backup dancer for us just until you debut."

"But not everyone debuts," I replied with a sigh. "You can't make me imagine those things if there's also a high chance I won't even debut. So many join the industry and try to debut but end up failing, I don't think I'll debut."

"I see something in you." JYP finally said in English. "I think you have the talent and spirit to debut, you just have to be confident."

"Hey, I know I don't know you a lot," Felix said. "But your stage presence blew me away, you danced your heart out and I think if you try hard enough you can debut."

"I don't know." I looked down.

"I know we are asking a lot but we really think you can do it. Just a little braver." Felix said which made me look up at him.

His favorite quote, he really used that on me huh.

"My parents-"

"They will understand," JYP said. "I can talk with them."

I smiled widely and nodded my head, "Fine then I'll do it."

"Yes!" Felix cheered and hugged you which surprised you.

"O-oh." I hugged Felix back nervously being careful not to crush his body with my arms because I didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable.

"Great, we can take you from school right now since we signed you out of the office." JYP smiled.

"What, how-"

"He's JYP, he's as scary as Gordan Ramsey but really nice still." Felix chuckled and led you out of the school doors.

I decided that my school bag didn't matter at that point because obviously I just met my idols and I wasn't going to pass this opportunity. I was so excited yet scared, I felt alone. It was weird because I didn't want to say no or yes, this wasn't supposed to happen. I don't know what to do.

• • •

To my surprise, my parents said yes, they let me go to Korea and I understood why it must've been a bit easier. My parents did love me I guess but they would rather not deal with me for a long time. My mom cares about me but sometimes I can get on her nerves, she pushed me to study in school but I didn't want to. School just isn't for me and this probably helped her open her eyes and realize she should let me go chase my dream.

I was now on a private jet with JYP and Felix, there were 3 other girls on the jet with us which I assumed were other girls scouted by JYP. Now I didn't feel so alone but I still haven't talked to anyone since boarding the jet.

"Hey," Felix sat in front of me while I snapped out of my thoughts and looked away from the window. "You haven't spoken a word to the other girls."

I chuckled and turned around to see all the girls giggling together and then looked back at Felix. "It seems like they're fine on their own, I don't need to speak to them, or do I?"

Felix laughed and paid attention to your small facial expressions as if he was trying to decode you, "No but I just thought you were more talkative."

"Oh." Your face heated up as his cute laugh. "I'm actually really shy, I don't like talking to new people, or else I become awkward and say dumb things."

"I want to see you be awkward." Felix got up and sat next to you and paid his full attention to you. "Do I make you nervous?"

My heart was beating at a fast rate, what do I do? My stomach was doing the Olympics or something because it felt like it was all over the place, what was Felix doing to you? He's just an idol, nothing more.

"Felix stop." I pouted. "I'm already scared and lonely."

"Are you really scared?" Felix's face dropped into a more serious expression as he sat back in his seat. "I know we still don't know much and I'm assuming you're a fan, but I will be here for you every step of the way. Chan was always there for me during the survival show and it honestly made me feel like I was at home and I became braver. Just think of me like your older brother."

It sort of killed me when Felix sibling zoned me, wait I don't seriously have a crush on him! Or do I? I think maybe I feel that way because he's my bias, it has to be! I sound so dumb right now.

"Thank you so much." You smiled at him. "But I'm also sorry for you because you'll have to put up with my chaotic self."

"I have to see Jisung every day, I think I can handle you." Felix snorted. "By the way, who are your favorite groups?"

Time to expose myself to Felix, how fun!

"Stray Kids, Twice, and Weki Meki are my top favorites but I also listen to other groups," I said nervously and hoped he would've asked the question most idols would ask.

"Who's your bias in Stray Kids then." Felix raised his eyebrow at me, damn it!

"You and Chan," I said as I felt heat rush through my cheeks, I looked down in embarrassment.

"Wait really?" Felix's eyes widened. "Am I killing you right now then?"

"Yes," I looked back up at him. "But I think I'll be fine."

"I would do the same if Twice in front of me," Felix explained.

"You guys work in the same building though-"

"It's not the same!" Felix whined.

I laughed at his fanboy whined, "You should go talk to the scouted girls."

"Are you trying to kick me out?" Felix rose his eyebrow at me.

"No, of course not!" I quickly said. "It's just that they look like they're having fun and they look a lot more interesting than me, I don't want to waste your time."

"I find you interesting though." Felix smiled and leaned in a little closer. "You're not wasting my time, trust me."

"There's nothing that special about me though, I just love to dance." I smiled awkwardly.

"I could list 3 things I like about you right now Alaska," Felix said in a lower tone. "You are special, don't forget about that."
