XII - Hope, Strength & Support



I didn't know what to say, I was shocked. The fans, well the ones I thought I would never have weren't meant to find out this way. The guy from Team Rap had just fucked up. He had signed a contract, stating he wouldn't out any of the information that had happened while he was apart of the show.

I shook my head in disbelief, I looked around at all the eyes around me. It wasn't meant to be this way, "Please excuse me, I need some time to process this alone." I had bowed to everyone, I look at Jinsung, I whispered in his ears.

His eyes were glossy, I already knew what he was thinking, but he nodded his head and understood that I needed some space. I walked out with my head bowed, "Kai please don't leave, let's talk about this?" I looked at the CEO.

I shook my head, "I need some time, please just give me that, come find me in two hours." I pointed to Jinsung, Yum Yum, Jinseok, "They will know where to find me, that is if you want to. I hope you don't find me a burden as I see myself already. You see I put aside my burdens, I don't like it when my heart is on my sleeve. Because in the end, I tend to give too much. My heart it gets stomped on, I really don't need that to happen. I don't need to be judged so harshly for the misunderstandings that tend to happen around me."

I walked out the door, with my head down. My bottom lip was already trembling, I blew out the breath I was holding. I wiped the tears before they could fall. I squared my shoulders and lifted up my head. My thoughts cleared, I need to actually understand what they wanted from me now.

I thought about all of it, I was over-analyzing everything. I stopped myself again, as I remember Grandpa Yongha's advice. I knew he actually cared, I knew the meaning behind his words. His words brought a smile to my face, I thought about Jinseok's words, and Hyun's (even if he was being a dick before). I remembered what they told me after I had completed the first round. THEY WOULD BE MY BEACON OF LIFE, THEY WOULD BE MY HOPE, MY STRENGTH, AND ALWAYS HAVE MY BACK.

I had made my way to the stairwell, I felt around my pockets. I heard the crinkling of paper, I felt the round object in there as well. I pulled it out, what the hell? When did I put a roll of tape in my pocket? I took the stationery out of my pocket, I started writing. My feelings about this situation l was in. The gears in my head turning as the tempo in my head, was slowly forming. I took out my phone, as I put on the recorder. I hummed a few bars. I looked up at the sound of footsteps echoing in the stairwell, I smiled when I see Appa, Kevin, and N all looking down at me with pride.

"I know that look anywhere, she's brainstorming a song. Aren't you Kai!" N had said to me.

I nodded my head up and down quickly, I waved at them telling them that I had to continue. Walking up and down the steps, helped me as I was lost in my train of thought. Everything I just had learned left my mind, as I knitted my eyebrows together.

I had an epiphany, I slammed the door open. It banged against the walls as it echoed in the hallways. To come face to face with who I needed to see at that moment. I looked up at him, who you asked the one and only THE MAN IN CHARGE OF IT ALL. "I need a word If I plan on outing myself. Well, I'm about to do it in style, because if I didn't do that I wouldn't be me now would I?"

"When I perform my last and final songs, you have to promise me that you will not censor any of it. I don't have a filter and I don't plan on having one. You should know this already because I wouldn't be here otherwise."

I walked away leaving THE CEO, dumbfounded with his jaw dropped. I could hear the cameraman and a few stylists laugh at what I had told the old man.

I bowed to them, I walked away as I passed all the dorm rooms. I smiled at all the arrows, pointing at a certain direction. They all stopped at TEAM RAP'S STUDIO. I smirked, they really thought I would go there, these guys are unbelievable. I ended up in the room where I left my now empty suitcase, but the thing was it wasn't empty at all.

It wasn't how I left it though which had me a little suspicious, It was zipped up with a note attached to it.

Kai,

If you're reading this right now, then I assumed right. You went straight for your equipment, which is bad because you just realized that I have it. Well, now you can have them back. But inside here is something I believe, you needed to see. I'm sorry it' took so long for it to come into your possession, but I am happy I was able to get it to you. Go gettem and Make all 3 of your Oppa's proud.

Kevin and N and Kieran

I smiled at the note as the corners of my mouth pulled up. As I unzipped it, I see two pictures. It shocked me though, the picture was of Kieran, N & Kevin in school uniforms. They looked like total dorks, I cracked laughing. The other photo, made my eyes water. It was a picture of Me & Kieran, he was looking down at me with a gentle smile on his face. My arms were wrapped around his neck, it looked like I was laughing at something he had said.

I turned the photo around, The message on the back read:

THE ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD, THAT HAS MY LOVE AND SUPPORT IN ALL THAT SHE DOES. I AM A PROUD OPPA, WHO LOVES HIS LITTLE SISTER.

I clutched the photo to my chest, I grabbed my equipment. I knew where I want to go, to right this last and final song. My tears gone as a smile graces my face, I walked onto the outer grounds. The sight before my eyes, had me blushing.

My Lullaby, My Yum Yum & Grandpa, all stood there with smiles on their faces, when they saw me walking to them.

I brush my bangs out of my face, my cheeks tinted a slight pink.
Lullaby, pulled out a sign from behind his back.

I love you too, Cutie!

I stopped placing my suitcase by the table, I stepped up on the stool so I could wrap my arms around his neck. "I knew you would know where to look, where's everyone else though? What were the arrows for? Did you think I would end up going there?" I had asked Jinsung as he stared into my eyes.

"Cutie, that was CRUSH'S fault, it was meant to mislead you. But I already knew where you were, remember what I told you about your scent. I could find you in a crowded room, there was no way I could forget a scent that meant the world to me."

I backed to the edge of the table as I did a backflip, landing in a cute pose. "Alright, go about your schedule. I have 2 songs to produce and lyrics to rewrite."

I was sitting on the grass now, I unzipped my suitcase. I looked at all my equipment taking each item out, careful not to drop anything. Once everything was set up and in order, I took my phone out of the floor. I synced it to my laptop, my music program popped up already fitting it to the necessary setting I wanted. I smiled when it dinged, alerting me that they song matched to one of my premade beats. I clapped my hands excitedly like a retarded seal.

"Can we hear a sample at least, so we will be ready?" I looked at them, my lips pursed. I shook my head defiantly, "Trust me if you hear an inkling of it you would want to hear all of it."

I pulled a spare USB, out of my laptop case. I looked at them, "I'm going, I need to work on some other things before its finally complete. So I'll see you later, I'll be on both teams apparently the other producer said no one was getting eliminated. Because I had made such an uproar that my news was better than people getting eliminated."

I packed everything up giving the three a hug, "Before I forget, one of you would make a great leader someday. I believe in you three and the others, who I believe who will be debuting you."

I ran with my suitcase, I think I made them confused. I turned back to see Grandpa telling me to come back there. I shook my head back and forth, I ran up the 3 flights of stairs. I made it into Team Performances Studio, with no one in sight. I walked over to the equipment uploading just the song itself without the lyrics, I put my hair in a bun. My bangs hanging over my eyes, I swept them aside as I covered my head with my silver and red beanie.

Stretching and working out the kinks, I was ready. What I didn't know that someone was in the corner, observing me during my whole routine. I ignored the slight noise as they thought they were being as quiet as possible.

"You know its very rude to spy on someone when they are working on something that no one is supposed to see or hear."

I turned to see Ken & Jhope, staring at me with their jaws dropped. I think I turned them mute, I giggled. I packed up my things and I waved goodbye.

I dropped my suitcase in my room and grabbed a few water bottles, I made my way to Team Rap's studio. I knocked and entered, I was told to wait outside.

Uncle was awfully quiet but he said that I will have to pick a group to work with, I shook my head and said, Solo. "This is will be my last and final performance, I want to blow everyone away. So will you help me, make my dreams of being on a big stage come true?"

He let out a whistle as a few people stepped up, he called them. The arms of 4 girls around my neck and a crying unnie on my shoulder. I guess he wasn't going to listen as they pulled me out the studio door, hope's of going solo not happening.
