"Next!" Jimin heard it well. The judges already seeking the next contestant. He turned his back away from the stage at first to breathe in and out; getting rid of the nauseating feeling from his stomach.

"you can do this." Jimin told himself.

only then did he step onto the center of the stage, standing up high, with a mic in front of him. he's practiced all day and all night-he can do this. it was just him and his mirror back at his home; now it's time for the judges to see what he's capable of.

"introduce yourself, your course, then you may proceed." one of the judges sitting up front spoke.

he steps up to the mic, tapping it lightly to make sure it was working. then he spoke, "i'm jung jimin, a theater arts major."

once the authority figures nodded their head without a care; not even to look up at the constentant's face. their pencils being gripped down by their hands, they let the music take place.

a/n : imagine only
jimin being there,
slaying the stage solo ]

jimin, however, not only plan to pass-he plans on being the best. at the audio cue, he already knew he would burn the stage. he started off with the most basic beat, prepared to blow the audience away. his body moved to each beat it played, to each beat it produced-it was undeniably a beautiful thing to witness; nobody moved, everyone had their breaths hitched at the sudden tension felt inside the auditorium. the judges watched with the fairest eyes; already anticipating what his next move would be.

he was flawless.

he should definitely get in. they needed something different; something that'd really lift the club up to a higher standard than they are now.

the moment it was all over, jimin took a bow, awaiting for their comments.

"right." the judge began. "next!" unfortunately, college was different. jimin's expected compliments and praises flushed down the drain. highschool was better, he thought. he would have the chance to improve based on their thoughts.

reluctantly, he made his way down the stage, only to take off his leather jacket harshly, still irritated at the fact of the rudeness of those people; not even sparing him a glance after his dance was over.

jimin couldn't help but just click his tongue in annoyance.

he didn't leave.

because the next contestant was

"lisa manoban, i'm majoring in theater arts."

the smile. it was there again! jimin gulped nervously at the sight of beauty. he decided to take the opportunity to see her in action; she was the sweetest, most innocent face inside the room. he wanted to see her body language.

and that, he will.

to his surprise, she wasn't alone.

"jennie, also a major in theatre arts." lisa had a partner.

[ lisa's audition vid;
a/n; imagine lisa and jennie
are the only ones on stage ]

jimin couldn't believe how mesmerized he was to be seeing this right now. lisa wore short shorts he would never even have imagined her to be comfortable in.

she coined the term 'badass'; her once straight blonde hair messed into tiny curls, indicating sensuality. both of them were great, amazing even!

he had never seen anything like it before. it was as if the whole lisa he knew was her disguise, she was definitely giving it her all on stage and this was just the auditions. what more if she gets in?

one thing's for sure: he would love to watch more of her moves.

lisa and jennie stopped, facing the judges with a satisfied smile on their faces. their faces overflowing with sweat and hard work in so much effort they've put in to perfect it.

"a-may-zing." the main judge commented, his smile disappeared in a blink of an eye. "next!"

the two girls made their way off the stage, already walking towards the exit.

"gah! i'm starving, lis. we should totally celebrate, like right now. i'm hungry as-" jennie was cut off by her friend when she suddenly received hyperactive sweaty hug from the blonde.

"i can't believe it. we executed that- it was so good! i would love to do that again."

jennie stopped herself from speaking when she saw a familiar shadow approaching from behind her friend. she suddenly pulled lisa behind her, instinctively.

"can we help you?"

lisa's furrowed brows reversed when she saw his face, tapping her friend as a signal. "jenjen, it's okay, he's a friend."

jennie looked over to him from head-to-toe, clearly in awe; not convinced.

"uh, hi. i'm jimin." he extended out his hand which jennie cautiously accepted.

"kim jennie."

"are you kim taehyung's sister or something?"

"uh, no." jennie scoffed in disbelief. "why would i even be related to- ow!" she turned to lisa's direction, who was being pretty obvious enough that she could immediately just admit she pinched her.

"no reason." was all jimin commented, automatically drawing his attention from jennie, over to lisa, who was laughing nervously at the thought of being alone with jimin again.

jennie, of course, had noticed.

"well, i'm off to hit the showers." jennie went past lisa to give her a glimpse of her wink as she left the two assumed couple some alone time to themselves.

only then did lisa realize how embarrassing it was to have imagined jimin seeing her be like that.

but no matter, 'i'm sure he'd understand, right?' she asked herself.

"so, smooth moves up there." jimin started it off. possibly to gain attention and stop the awkward air.

"o-oh, thanks. i didn't get to see your auditions, sorry." lisa was having trouble wiping all the sweat running down her face, so jimin took it and gently patted her face with it. lisa started feeling the cool breeze in.

"ah, it's okay. once we get in, you'll get to see me everyday, anyway."

"but where did you get the moves? i'm very impressed!" jimin added, making lisa laugh at the amazement he was showing.

"i told you i love dancing and college was definitely my target for improvement." lisa took her towel, mouthing a low thanks under her breath out of embarrassment. "i really wished i saw your audition."

"eh. yours was better." jimin replies along with a shrug.

"but i bet i'll be able to see the video-"

"wait, what?"

"you didn't know?"

jimin shook his head.

"jimin, how could you not have noticed a camera was facing you?"

"i was too immersed in the music." lisa laughed at the thought of jimin being completely absent minded to the fact of getting that much attention.

"but auditions are over. and it's not yet your curfew, want to hang out for a bit?" jimin bit his lower lip in anticipation.

lisa winked. "as long as it's your treat."
