"Hey! Sungkyu! What the heck are you doing!" I complained as I pull my arms from his grip.

"Just come with me. Hurry!" he said.

"No!" I pulled myself and was able to escape from him. We both stopped walking. "What do you want from me!?"

"Would you please keep quiet? We don't have much time," he commanded as he looked around. He is wearing a mask and a beanie and I don't know if people recognized him. "Hurry, let's go to the car!" he said cautiously.

Is he going to make me clean their dorm again? At this hour? I got pissed because he's being inconsiderate.

"I still have work!" I protested. I turned my back from him and marched my way went back to the horror house. But before I could enter, he gripped my arms.

"Sungkyu... Stop this! My boss is going to fire me!" I said controlling my anger and again, I pulled my arms from him and turned back and walked away.

"Don't let me do this Babysoul," he threatened.

"Whatever!" I yelled.

He sighed. I heard him say, "Okay then." Then suddenly, he ran after me, lift me and carried me and literally hanged me over his shoulder!

"Yah!!! Sungkyu!!!" I shouted as I pounded his back.

"Ouch!" he complained so he slapped my butt!

"Help!" I shouted but we already reached the car. The manager, I think, opened the door and Sungkyu literally dropped me inside the van. I'm telling you, this is kidnapping!

"Ouch!" I complained. He immediately closed the van and went to the front and sat beside the manager who seemed to be driving for them. "You are so heavy! My shoulders hurt!" he whined.

I was about to fire words when someone cried "Kyaaahhh!" I looked up it was Dongwoo and his face almost crying. "Jebal! Stop following me!"

"Huh?" I looked at him open mouth. Why is he so afraid of me? Again he shouted. And then I remembered Dongwoo is afraid of ghost. He is such a baby. If only I'm in a different situation I will definitely roll on the ground laughing.

Sungkyu turned to us and slapped Dongwoo's arm. "Get your senses together. That's Sujeong!" Sungkyu snapped. Dongwoo looked at me questioning. "Are you really Sujeong?"

I nodded and said yes. He sighed loudly. "Why do you have to work like a ghost! Aish chincha! This is not good for health."

"I'm sorry," I consoled then I looked at Sungkyu. "Yah! Sungkyu! Why did you drag me here?"

"Shut up! Just fixed yourself because you'll be having an interview with the vampire."

"Huh?"

"Didn't you receive my messages? I've been texting and calling you all day!

"Sungkyu hyung is saying the test is good it's good really," Dongwoo interrupted. "It's a good help. They say when you work hard for everything you will reap the best. So when you go to the interview do your best. I think you'll do well. Why this is so urgent but don't worry. But your clothes? What should we do? Don't worry the panels are not a monster. Maybe quite but not entirely. I heard you talented so you'll do well."

"What?" I asked. Dongwoo said a lot but I didn't understood a thing. I turned to Sungkyu. "Sungkyu? Where are we going?" but he seemed busy with his phone.

"Just fix your face. Remove those make-up you have," he ordered.

"I will, but please clear everything! What's happening?" I asked but before he answered someone called him.

"Jebal sajangnim. Just wait for a minute we're coming. I promise," I heard him say. And then he kept saying yes yes and then he said sorry.

"Hyung, please hurry up," he said to the manager.

Sungkyu looked at me irritably, "Why didn't you remove your make up yet?"

"I can't simply remove this. I need water, my towel, my clothes!" and then Sungkyu threw a tissue to me.

"What! If I will remove it with this, I'd look like an abstract painting."

"Then just stay like that," he dismissed.

"Where are you taking me anyway? I'm telling you this is kidnapping! How could you drag me like this against my will?!"

"Dongwoo already told you right?" he answered. I looked at Dongwoo and he smiled.

"But I didn't understood what he said!"

"I texted you for like a hundred times!" he continued. "I even called you! I wasted so much time for this okay!"

"But I didn't receive anything I swear!"

"I demand an answer!" I yelled when suddenly we're in front of Woollim building! My jaw dropped as I gather all the pieces of what Dongwoo said. Test? Training? "Wait, I'm going to have an audition at Woollim entertainment now?"

"Why are you so slow. Come one, the judges are waiting. The audition has been extended for 10 minutes waiting for you." Sungkyu said as he made his way inside the building.

"Let's go?" Dongwoo offered. I think I just had a mental breakdown. Let me get this straight. I'm going for an audition at Woollim Entertainment, without practice, in a ghost costume? Please someone tell me this is a dream!

I absent mindedly followed them. But the looks on the people we pass by brought me to my senses as they look at me weirdly. Of course they will look at me like that cause I'm wearing a ghost costume. I was disheartened.

Sungkyu led me to a room with a sign 'practice room' but before he could open the door, I grabbed his arm.

"Sungkyu, why are you doing this? So that you could humiliate me further?" I asked full of bitterness.

He smirked. "I'm not that bad. Can't you see I'm already helping you? Since you are not prepared, just sing a song you have mastered. I know you know what I mean. Good luck," he said and opened the door.

The scent of the office welcomed us and I saw three people sitting in a long table. The guy at the left side is the AR Manager, I've seen him on TV before with Infinite. My eye caught the name of the woman in the center which reads Ms Soyu and the guy at the right, I don't know who he is.

"Whoah!" they gasped when they saw me. "This is the audition area. Are you sure you entered the right room?" the AR manager asked. I bowed, "Yes sir. I'm here to audition."

"Name?" the woman on the center asked. She seemed strict but she is so beautiful. I might even think she's an actress if she is not on the judges' seat at the moment.

"Lee Sujeong-imnida."

"Okay. Lee Sujeong. Since you are a walk-in auditionee and you haven't submitted any documents, tell us about yourself and explain why you are wearing that kind of costume," the AR Manager asked.

"First of all, I'm so sorry if I look like this. I was on my job when Kim Sunggyu came and dragged me here. I act as a ghost in a horror house," I simply answered.

I was to say more about myself when Ms. Soyu interrupted. "Kim Sungkyu? How are you related to Kim Sungkyu?" she asked curiously.

"Ahm, he's an acquaintance," I answered.

"What's your name again?" Miss Soyu asked.

"Lee Sujeong-immida," I humbly answered. She seemed stopped.

"You can start already. We waited for you so you better give us something that is worth it. Just go on. Show us what you got," she said after a while.

I gave them a bow first. I gave a big sigh, I closed my eyes and I started to sing.

I let my emotions overflow and let it take me to the dimension of the song. Like there is no one looking at me, that I'm singing my heart out alone in this room. I sang 'Only hope' cause it's the first thing that came into my mind and like Sungkyu's advice, I sang it cause I already mastered it. {<A/N> I'm so sorry. I can't think of a better song}

I only stopped singing when I heard the judges clapping.

"I must say. I'm impress with your voice. It's smooth and soothing and you can hit the high notes pretty well," the AR Manager said. "Good job," he even said nodding. I'm fluttered!

I looked at Ms. Soyu and waited for what she's going to say. "I'm sorry but for me, I don't think you can qualify as a trainee in this company. You're way too weak and I don't accept people who are not always prepared," she said which shocked me, and even the other two judges. "And you're short, also I can't see your face because of that make-up. What if at the back of that you're ugly? I don't want to accept you. That's it," she dismissed.

Maybe if those words were knives, I would have died already. I just bowed at her then I looked at the judge at the right.

"Ahm... I," he cleared his throat and continued. "I agree with her," he said with his head down. I'm confused, he was only clapping for me a minute ago. I nodded to him though I felt I melted where I was standing.

"Come on," the AR Manager said. "Guys, we all know she is good!" he defended me.

"Not on my taste," Miss Soyu said. "And didn't you hear her? She said Sungkyu brought her here. Clearly she is just using Sungkyu!" she fired.

She is using Sungkyu.

She is using Sungkyu.

She is using Sungkyu.

Those words echoed in my head and sent millions of needles in my heart.

"Ahm... Sujeong-shii, please go out for a while please. We'll call you back later," the judge at the right instructed. I walked and went out of the room like a zombie with those word still floating in my head.

She is using Sungkyu.

You destroyed him.

You're dragging him down.

You are worthless.

Like there are voices in my head reminding me of those hurtful words.

I saw Sungkyu outside but I walked pass by him.

He grabbed my arm, "So how was it?" he asked.

"Are you happy now?" I weakly asked as tear rolled down my face. Stunned with my actions, he slowly removed his hand from my arm so I slowly walked away.

I really feel so humiliated, dejected, awful, worthless... I wasn't able to control my tears. I went to the stairs and cried.

If only I can bring out all of these feelings through tears...

I cried while pounding my heart. Why do words hurt more that punch?

I'm still crying wondering what to do next with this earthly life then suddenly I saw a hanky in front of my face

With my face smudged with tears, I looked up.

"Hoya?" I muttered.

<A/N> Please read. Important.

Everyone, I'm so sorry if I don't update fast. I'm just a student and it's hard to find time to write. TT_TT Also, I'm writing 3 stories other than this and all demanding for an update so sometimes I don't know what to update first.

TBH, this story has no concrete plan. Hahaha. It's supposed to be 5 chapter short story but it got extended bec of so many ideas screaming in my head. Even I don't know what happened between BS and SG in the past. And I don't know what going to happen next! Though I already have ideas for that. But, I can't just jump to those story parts without making the flow of the story smooth.

Thank you very much for being with me all these time. I ask for understanding and patience. I'll do my best to give you better updates. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
