Chapter 12

After a few days of pondering your decision to try something new, You decided to leave the newspaper club as a start to improving yourself.

They thanked you for all of the contributions you’ve made for the past year, not forgetting to tell you that you are always welcome to come back if you’d ever change your mind.

It doesn’t even have to take a second, as you gotta admit you're still having second thoughts about joining the club you're about to apply for.

You thought that the heart-thumping sequence of events were about to be over, when Minju came up to you, giving you very shocking news.

She told you that her company had selected her to become a representative for them in a survival show, whose main goal is to form an idol group. Not only that, she told you that she will be gone for approximately 3 to 4 months.

Of course, you’re happy that your girlfriend has been given a chance to fulfill her dreams and told her that you will support her all the way.

But…...

It made you want to improve yourself too

"I want to become a better person than I already am, so that I can be on equal footing as you" You told yourself.

She then teased you to not look at other girls while she's away from you. It was tempting for a moment, but then you threw the thought away. You promised that you won't cheat on her and fortunately she also believes that you will never do it…

Right????

-----

A few days have passed and Minju's absence has really made you feel very lonely.

Of course, people still greet you and stuff since you're somewhat famous. But still, it doesn't change the fact that you don't have your own circle of friends, which made you feel isolated from the rest of your classmates. Even back when you're still a member of the newspaper club, you're only acquainted with them and your relationship with them was purely professional.

And speaking of clubs, you still haven't joined a new one yet ever since you left the newspaper club.

You already knew which club you’ll apply for, but your lack of confidence is what’s holding you back from doing so.

-----

After the class was over you made your way to the theater hall where you performed the role of the prince last school year.

Upon arriving, you took a seat in one of the vacant chairs not far from you as you sat back and relax.

You watched the people practicing on the stage as it made you impressed on how good they are at what they’re doing, and that is, acting.

"Ummm is this seat taken?" You heard a female voice ask you a question.

"Oh it's not. Please, have a seat" you replied not even giving her a glance at the girl who asked you because you're too absorbed watching those who are on the stage. Besides, why would someone be next to you when the majority of the seats are vacant?

She then asked you if you're going to join the theatre club and you nodded.

"Really?! we can apply together then" she happily told you

"I won't apply yet, I'm still not sure if my skills are enough." You told the mystery girl you then realized you weren't really giving her attention so you turned your head on where she is and…..

You can't believe your own eyes….

"Y---y----you"

"Me?"

"I- IDOL SCHOOL!!!!" you raised your voice in shock as the mystery girl laughed at your reaction...

"Well technically you're right but no my name is not idol school….

"My name is Baek Jiheon, First year." She told you as she reached her hand out to you for a handshake.

"Y-Y/n L/n. S-second year"  you replied shaking her hand.

"Y/n-oppa~ can you accompany me in applying for the theater club? Please~?" She asked you cutely as it almost made you melt

"I Uhhhhhhhh…

"Then, please lead the way"
