VI - I need space...
Over the next couple of days, I saw less and less of Do Yum and Jin-Sung. I soon noticed the way Jin-sung had been acting towards me, it confused me till I heard him talking to Jin-Seok. That he was falling for someone secretly, I heard Jin-Seok say my name.
I stopped in my tracks, I made my way to them. "Excuse me Jin-Seok may I talk to you privately? I promise it won't take long." I say to him.
I ran towards Team Rap's studio and looked inside telling him to come in.
I took off my beanie and face mask. "Can I ask you a question before I turn around? How did you figure me out? I hope your not mad, this wasn't planned at all. I just wanted a chance, to do what my heart wanted."
I was turned around, my chin was lifted to look in his eyes. "Your beautiful, Voice and all. I wish I had just as much confidence as you have."
I pulled him in a hug, "You know you are the first person besides my adopted family who has ever said that to me. Thank you Jin-Seok. You better get back, your team will be looking for you. I think I held up enough of your time and I hope you keep this a secret like the other 3. If you need help with anything let me know, I'll help out as much as I can."
He gave me one last hug and wiped my tears away, he placed my mask back on and messed up my hair. I let it go because in my eyes he accepted me for who I am.
He left out the studio doors, I went to the camera as I practiced my lines and dance. Not once fumbling but doing my interpretation of what I think the choreography was. I took a sip of my drink, as soon as it touched the inside of my mouth. My body started to overheat, whatever was in the bottle made me spit out about a liter of my own blood I think.. I covered it with a red towel from my back pocket, I looked up into the eyes of Jin helping me wipe my mouth.
His eyebrows raised and eyes filled with tears, as he watched the blood continue to spew out. Never in my life have I been so scared, I threw the bottle across the room in frustration. "Leave it for now, I need to rest please." Isank down in a dim corner.
My breathing coming out in short puffs, as I just lay on the floor. I closed my eyes for a second.
"KAI! WAKE UP!" I heard them all laugh, without stirring and eyes still closed. I pointed to the dry erase board and told them to watch the video. "It's my apology for having an anxiety attack the last time I was here, I got up to my bag in the corner. Here catch," I had tossed them two bags of snack and walked back out the double doors.
But I took one look outside the door and did a 180. Both of the directors looked at me expectantly, I put my hands up in surrender.
"Kai, you okay to practice?" One of the directors said.
I only nodded and walked towards the front staggering a bit. A headache made itself known, I looked on the mirror everyone's eyes grilled with worry. I brushed it off and pressed play on the screen, I took off my beanie and pulled my hood up. I took my gloves out of my pocket.
I looked at the others, "Who needs help with the choreo?"
I felt a tap on my shoulder, "What are you doing Kai? That's our job." I think I made him mad.
I turned and crossed my arms, I was getting pissed. I feel a few people pull me back and someone covers my mouth. I slid down into the splits, I glared back at the ones who held me. "Don't ever do that again to me!"
I turned back facing the choreographers, "I don't know about you but I have been here for the last 6 hours, practicing and perfecting the flow. To be honest I don't even want all the lines I think a bar or two will be fine for me. I don't mean to sound like an Asshole or a snob, but I'm good. I will help whether you like it or not because last I checked we are Team Rap and it's better we come together for the effort and not dick around, got it. Should I translate that for you or are you good." I scoffed as I look at Hyung laughing in the back silently.
"You have your stepbrother's mentality, which is kind of funny. I hope you don't mind but I just sent your whole speech to him. Hopefully, he doesn't have a hissyfit and comes and take you home." One of the directors said.
"Alright, let's do this, from the top let's do this. Now 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Tak, Tak tak tak." I saw the CEO motion me outside.
"Kai you can't disrespect them or we are going to have a big problem, go apologize. I don't know what is going through your head but pull it out of your ass got it."
I watched as he walked away, I didn't like getting yelled at. I turned around and punched the door with all my might, "Fuck this I don't need this shit, I quit." I said out loud to no one in particular.
I walk away with my bleeding hand against my side, I ignored everyone calling my name. I kept walking, past my room down the stairs and out the doors. But before I could make it out the doors, I was lifted up and brought to a room of some sort.
A cameraman came and gave me a medkit, I pulled my hood up and covered my face with my bangs. I was frustrated as hell, I couldn't even open it. I looked back at my hand, the cameraman hovered over me. He wasn't too sure how to act towards me, I know his name was Jin and he took a liking towards me. Said I remind him of his little brother who just left to the military, "Kai you know you were wrong, you have to apologize to them. I opened my phone up and typed, I think I hurt my throat by yelling too much. I think I just fucked it up for all of us."
I laid my head on the table and the tears made their way down my cheeks, I was lifted. I was having that dream again, her words sliced me to the core. That stupid transfer student Akira from Japan.
I opened the door to look at the CEO, I shook my head. "Sir your not going to like this, you made his anxiety worse than before. Kai mumbled out that everyone looks at him like a burden, he wants to quit. It's bad enough his team members are going after his spot, but what they are saying isn't as innocent as you think." I showed him the video where someone from his team, had put something in his drink. "Sir, before the other members came in he, was spitting up blood, it's all over the studio floor. I didn't get to clean it up fast enough."
I looked at Jin, "Gather everyone and have the one who put something in Kai's drink pack his shit."
"Sir, already on it sir!"
