2 days before the contest Sejeong and Jaehyun continue to practice as usual. Suddenly they hear an aggressive knock on the door, Sejin opens it and Secretary Ara shows up with an angry look.
Secretary: You guys really don't listen!!
Sejeong: But we're safe though, I even got something, I'd be happy to show you
Secretary: What?
Sejeong: This is Minha, her own mother, Director Oh abused her but luckily she escaped
Secretary: Wait your the one saved by Eu-
Minha: You know who save me?! I really want to know! I forgot about him because of my trauma, I hope you could help me out
Secretary: N-no I was just mistaken, I'm sorry to disappoint you
Minha: So you don't know who save me? I really want to visit his grave though
Secretary: Well I'm sorry. Today we have important matters to discuss.
Sejeong: What is it?
Secretary: On the day of the contest, they will be guards everywhere and they most likely sent by your uncle. Make sure not to go anywhere else but the stage and backstage. If you need to go somewhere then have a guard come with you, and this is not only for Sejeong but it works for everyone and for you Minha, you can't go
Minha: But I can act as a dance coach though. I promise I'll avoid calling their real names!
Sejeong: Just let her come with us, she just wants to watch her brother's performance
Secretary: Fine but her brother must never find out about her
Minha: Why not?
Secretary: Do you want your mother to find out your here?
Minha: NO! But I can trust my brother
Secretary: Well right now you can't, if you still want to watch him then you'll have to keep all secrets from him
Minha: Fine!
Sejeong: If theres nothing else then
Secretary: There's more I have to add, no going out after the contest, you can only go outside again during the final auditions, well you cant even try the final auditions if you can win first place.
Jaehyun: We will win it so don't worry
After more instructions given by secretary Ara she finally leaves the house. After that everyone just continues their day until the next day, the day before the contest everyone wakes up early. Sejeong and Jaehyun continue to smoothly practice their dance as U.S high school's representatives. Finally they end to take a rest and suddenly a discussion comes up
Minha: The day before yesterday, if those men weren't searching for me then they must be looking for all of you
Sejin: I think they know we're back for the contest, i'm sure their just trying to keep an eye for us. Why is there any problem?
Minha: Those were the people who guarded me in the warehouse so I wouldn't escape. Their usually the ones doing the most important instructions of mom
Hana: Well then we must be hard to catch and end
Jaehyun: Wait, guys do we even have a plan for tomorrow?
Sejeong: I just hope we won't mess up during the performance and I'm still not used to be called Kim Sia
Jaehyun: Well I'm not used to being called your brother
Hana: Me too! I really don't want to accidentally call your real names
Sejin: Minha since your an expert do you have any advice?
Minha: I've been out keeping my identity so I'm considered an expert but I don't think I actually am
Sejin: Are you okay?
Minha: I just remembered this guy, I don't remember him but I miss him
Hana: Is this some kind of a sad love story?
Minha: I actually hoped it wasn't
Sejeong: I'm interested in this, can you tell me more?
Jaehyun: Well I'm in
Minha: When I was stuck in the warehouse for quite some time, I was hopeless until a guy saved me, he would secretly pretend to be busy to other people but he would rush to my house to ask if I needed anything, till one day he never replied to a message or even answered my calls so I had to looks for him myself just to find out he had very little of living while he was in the I.C.U. The same day they found out I constantly visited him so I got taken away again.
Sejeong's tears slowly fall from her eyes as she remembers her brother who had passed away in the I.C.U
Minha: I don't hate mom very much after all she's my mine. The thing I hated the most was that she made me forget the person that I loved the most. I really didn't want to talk about it, because I know nothing would change
Sejin: You really don't remember a single bit
Minha: I do, but I hate the fact that I know it
Sejin: Can't you tell me?
Minha: He and his family passed away. They were the ones mom tried to kill, the thought of it, I hate it. Though they died because of a car accident. I can't forget that mom tried to kill them
Hana: Your pretty similar to Sejeong.
Sejeong: Can we just prepare for the contest?
Jaehyun then hands both Sejeong and Minha pieces of tissues to wipe their tears.
To be continued.....
