Chapter 21 | Always

Jihyo dragged you out before the last song had finished. You were confused on what she had in mind, you poured and mumbled about missing your favourite song young wings and she just shushed you back in response.

She kept and firm grip around your hand since she doesn't want to lose you. She greeted staff members, she was stopped when someone stood in front of her. She started explaining what was going on and her grip got tighter as if something was wrong. You looked towards the man who she was talking to, he had his eyes fixed on you which suddenly made you nervous.

"She's my friend." Jihyo replied, at this moment, all you could hear was ringing in your ears, overwhelmed by all the chaos in the room. Makeup artists moving their stuff around, some staff members packing drinks and snacks away, stylists gliding away outfits. It was an absolute mess, at least that's what it looked like to you.

"Excuse me, who are you?" The man asked you which snapped you out of your thoughts and mini panic moment.

"I'm Y/N... Jihyo unnie's friend." You answered shockingly calm to what you thought came out as panicky.

"Oppa, she's a JYPE member too. She's a trainee, haven't you seen the videos?? Hidden gem? Rings a bell?" She became so impatient towards who seems to be the manager, to the point where she grabbed your hand and simply walked pass him and guided you to the boys' dressing room. Leaving her manger to deal with the guy.

She sat you down on a chair with a bag on the wall desk that extended along the mirrored wall. There were all sorts of makeup pallets and brushes laid out on top of towels and fabrics. Some portable fans, phones and bags scattered around.

Jihyo greeted the staff who were hanging around the room and introduced you to them, you gave them a little wave and polite smile whenever they looked towards you while she was gesturing towards your direction.

You were really grateful how Jihyo noticed how overwhelmed you were and would do all this for you. You have thought for a split second, you shouldn't really be here and you're literally abusing your perks of knowing seniors around the company. You didn't realise you were gently rubbing the leaves of the sunflowers until a voice snapped you out of your thoughts.

"You're so pretty." You looked up to the owner of the voice and was surprised. She had really pretty makeup on, the eyeshadow and lipstick had a matching gradient, the blue contact lenses made the colour stand out even more. Gold chunky statement earrings made her whole look complete, adding nice details to her simple looking outfit. You figured she was one of the stylists and makeup artists who worked with the boys. Probably more higher up judging by her high-end branded earrings and belt.

"Ah, no I'm not..." You did a polite bow as a greeting and somewhat of gratitude.

"Yes you are! Look at those eyes, you have lovely skin and a nice high nose bridge." She pointed towards the mirror in front of you, she had a motherly smile which made you smile a little too. You didn't respond to her comments but just smiled.

"Are you an artist? I haven't seen you around much. Do you mind if I add something to your look?" She picked up a brush and an eye shadow pallet.

"Thank you, you really don't have to though." You smiled yet she already took off your glasses and started when you just spoke.

"And no, I'm a trainee still. I came here today with Jihyo unnie to see their showcase." Gesturing towards the bunch of flowers in your lap.

"You know the boys?" She asked you to close your eyes and she applied eyeliner to your lash line.

"I was a trainee when Chan was a trainee, and I knew the rest since he knew them too." You smiled at the thought.

"That's lovely. And I've seen your video, I'm sure you'll be just as successful." She placed her hand on your shoulders and looked into the mirror.
