I got up and made my way towards the entrance of the room where one of the staff members was calling the candidates.

"Are you number 105?" the staff member asked.

I nodded my head slightly.

"Please come this way," he said directing me to the room.

"Can I know your name, miss?" he asked before I went in front of the judges.

"Y/N, Park Y/N."

"Okay, you may go in, now." He said giving me a small grin.

I walked to the center of the room. I glanced in the direction of the judges and saw three official-looking people seated.

One was a man who wore square-shaped glasses and was wearing a navy colored suit and pants of the same color. he wore a Rolex watch on his right wrist. and was tapping on it from time to time. he was giving me a stern look. and I guess he didn't look with my outfit as he was judging me.

"Please introduce yourself and the song you will be singing." One of the judges said to me in a harsh tone. Looks like somebody's day isn't going the brightest, huh?

"y-yes." I took a deep breath and prayed to God one last time.

"My name is Park Y/N, and I am in sophomore year at my school. The song I am going to sing today is paper hearts by Tori Kelly." I bowed and greeted them.

"You may start, sweetie." One of the judges who looked like a lady in her late 40s said to me with a smile on her face.

I smiled back at her and then, I started to sing.

At first, when I started singing, I felt edgy, but as I got deeper into the meaning and lost myself in the tune, I forgot about the judges, the surrounding.

I didn't even know that I had closed my eyes while singing. When I opened my eyes I saw the faces of the judges. They were devoid of any emotion.

Shit! Did I sing that bad, that they are disgusted in me now? They are gonna kick me out, for sure!!

"Miss Park.........that was..........." they paused for a while.

Okay now, they are pausing for quite a long time now. It's freaking me out now!!

"Excellent!! Mind-blowing!" the guy who was looking at me seriously at the starting of the song exclaimed all hyped up.

"H-huh?" I said shocked by the reaction that was given to me.

"That wasn't bad, though." The lady said with a smirk.

"Hmm, can you sing in a duo?" the third judge asked. He can speak? I thought he was unable to speak-

Wait did he just- just questioned me if I could sing in a duo?

"Excuse me, but I don't quite get it?" I asked confirming that my ears didn't betray me or something.

Everyone in the room whipped their head towards the Judge in utter surprise. The other two judges were staggered by the words that left his mouth.

"Are you crazy Bang?" the lady asked him.

Suddenly the staff member came and asked me to wait in the waiting room for the result.

I quickly dashed outside the room. Did I hear him right? Did he ask me if I could perform in a duo?

After waiting for a long time we all were asked to go home.

I guess after all I wasn't selected. At least I tried. But why I am feeling so down all of sudden? And why would "The Bang man" ask me to perform in a duo?

I reached home and greeted my mom and dad.

"Honey, why do you look so down?" my mother asked me.

"Nothing mom, just tired, had a busy day at school," I said trying to smile at her.

"Okay, do you need something to eat, sweetie?" diverting from my answer as she knew I wasn't gonna talk about it until I feel like.

"I will come down, mom," I said kissing her on her cheeks and skidded upstairs to my room.

"Uh, I am so tired," I said dropping myself on the bed.

My phone beeped.

I reached out for my phone which was kept on the side table. I unlocked and found texts from Emily and Molly bombarding my inbox with hundreds of questions.

"Woah," I said at the speed they type their text. Like within seconds they type 10 texts!

I replied to them that I will tell the story they were excited about, tomorrow. I don't want to type or talk with anybody at the moment.

I seriously feel like a zombie.

I dragged myself to get freshened up before sleeping.

when I laid down after getting freshened up, I wasn't feeling sleepy though. I kept staring at the ceiling.

Questions that I didn't want to think about came rushing in my head.

Would I get selected by the agency? Did they like my singing?

It looked like they did, but.........

Nevermind, I shouldn't be thinking about it now. I need some rest, it was a hard and tiring day after all.
