There I was the moment I was the most nervous about. Not my performance but my interview with Serin.

„We are now with our rookie star Kim Lina."
„Hello everyone my name is Lina." I tried to act normal in front of the camera but I was so nervous.
„I listened to your song earlier and I must say it's sooooo amazing."
„Thanks a lot it means a lot to me hearing it from you."
„After all we once trained together it feels good to see you doing good."
„I am very thankful to my company for giving me opportunities and of course to my fans who made me come this far."

„Yes yes its all our fans who make it possible but leaving that aside many people might be curious about something else." what is she doing? This wasn't in the script.
„Wah what could that be?" I tried to stay calm.
„Many people might want to know if you are dating someone currently." I clenched my mic tightly and continued to smile. I tried my best to stay calm.
„Of course not. How could I have time to date if I am dating with someone it's the practice room. I am there every day."
„Yes it's true it's hard to find time for ourselves. With that we will conclude the interview. Look forward to her new song which will follow soon."

The cameras turned off and I sighed. I looked over at her. She was calmly removing her in ear piece and she was about to leave but I was so angry that I grabbed her arm and dragged her along.

„Let go of me you crazy witch." she pulled away her arm.
„You must be crazy. How dare you ask me questions that weren't in the script?"
„Why are you so angry? If you are not dating anyone what's the problem?" she came closer and pushed me with fingers which made me stumble.
„You know something don't you? Or else you wouldn't do this."
„Our Lina is smart as always. That's why always hated you. Acting like you know everything better. You disgusted me." she pushed me again. I can't do anything to her if she is angry she might say things to the media which could cause harm to S.Coups.

„You know what? I hate seeing you do well. We were doing good before you showed up. Don't forget your place. How dare you drag me in front of everyone." she got louder at the end.
„Do what you want just leave that person out of it." she laughed.
„I am only interested in you. By now you should know that my little slave." she whispered the last part in my ear and walked past me. I felt like vomiting. What should I do? I have to perform soon.

„Here you are I was searching for you everywhere." Takuya came. Thankfully.
„Takuya I- I think I am having a panic-„
„Everything is ok." he hugged me and helped me to breathe properly."
„Get me my phone." he took it out of his pockets and I put in my AirPods and openend my chat with S.Coups I started the last voice message he sent to me to distract myself. It took some time but I started to calm down. As I was feeling a little bit better I dialed his number.

„Hello? Are you done?"
„It feels so good to listen to your voice." I said.
„What's wrong?"
„I am about to perform but I suddenly lost all my confidence I don't know if I can do well."
„You don't have to worry about that a bit. Just think how hard you practiced for this. If you think it wasn't enough then I will tell you it was more than enough you practiced so hard for this more than anyone and you are ready for this. You are gonna meet the people who support you once you are on stage so don't think about anything else. I believe in you Lina you can do it."
„You really have a way to make me calm down."
„I did? I am so glad I thought I am saying nonsense."
„It helped a lot thanks."
„No go and prove everyone how amazing you are I am rooting for you."
„ Alright I will call you later."
„Good luck." I hung up and gave Takuya my phone.

„You are ready?" he asked and I nodded.
„I can do it. Let's get this done."
„We are all there for you."
„Thanks."

I was waiting for my turn and walked up the stage and hearing the fans made me forget everything it felt so good to stand here again. I could never give this up.

The story is slowly coming to an end. Of course I am gonna drop a bomb before it ends so get ready. 😉
