Not In The Script

Part 17 - 기회 (Oppurtunity)

I opened up my suitcase and fished out a brown box, I thought I would need these at one point, my ballet shoes I opened the box and pulled out the worn pink shoes. Now that my muscles are finally healed I can dance again and I feel like cracking out my pointe shoes. I really do need a new pair of pointe shoes these ones are really old and are in desperate need of rehab. I packed the shoes into my bag and caught the bus to Bighit while walking in I bowed to Hitman Bang politely, I don't usually see him but it's as if he has his eye on me today.

"Hello Annora," Jungkook greeted with a dazzling smile
"Hi Jungkook, you look happy today," I said taking the brown box out of my bag
"It looks as if you are going to be dancing today," he smiled
"Of course I have gone too long without dancing," I said placing a hand on my forehead dramatically
He laughed and gazed over at the brown box I was holding
"What's that?" He asked
"My ballet shoes," I said taking them out and setting the on the floor before beginning to tie them onto my feet.

"You can do ballet as well," he gawked
"I love every type of dance," I smiled standing up unto my toes and stretching out my legs
"The guys want to do a live stream," Jungkook said awkwardly
"Omo, I'm sorry I can leave," I said bending down at my feet
"No, with you,"
"What?"
Jungkook looked up and all the boys walked into the room, why would they want me to be in their live stream
"Are you serious?" I said quietly

"We can't keep hiding you it will become a scandal," Namjoon said
"That's true," I said thinking about the possibility
"People won't notice you, mainly the international army's will notice," Taehyung said
"Ok, I'll do it what do you want me to say,"

We all sat down in a semi-circle kind of shape J-hopes computer facing us, Jungkook squeezed my shoulder
"It will be fine," he said reassuringly
I took a deep breath and nodded J-hope reached out for the stream button
"WAIT," I suddenly shouted everyone froze
"Did you check with Hitman Bang?" I asked
"Yes, of course, we discussed it with him this morning," Jin said
"Ok then you can really press it then," I said quietly

So J-hope reaches out and pressed the stream button, sure enough, thousands of armys began joining and the chat began to explode.
Who is that!
Is that someone's girlfriend!
Yah! Someone explain
My heart rate increased before I began to speak
"Hello my name is Annora Celestial and I'm sure that you are all confused at this moment," I said
She can speak Korean!
She doesn't look Korean!
I translated the phrase into English and decided to continue speaking it for the international fans
"I am very good friends with Bangtan but I am not dating any of the members, I'm not a trainee either I'm simply good friends with them," I said smiling brightly

An awkward silence began as the chat flowed with varying messages
"Annora is out best friend and we hope you guys can accept her," Jungkook said in English ruffling my hair
"YEAH," everyone shouted before embracing me into a massive group hug and ending the stream.
"What if they are angry,"
"What if they stop listen to your music,"
"Oh my god what if-,"
"Annora stop stressing it's fine," I turned my head as I paced in circles
Everyone had retreated to practice and producing rooms so it was only Jungkook, Jimin and me.

"What to do, I'm stressing out right now," I could feel my body becoming paralyzed with a panic attack
"Dance," I turned my head towards Jungkook he ran over and played a slow song from the speakers
"Dance," he repeated

So I danced using my pointe shoes I softly raised myself onto my toes carefully walking gracefully, Jimin disappeared quickly but Jungkook remained over at the speakers I suddenly stopped dancing. Jungkook looked as if he was in pain, he remained with a smile on his
"I'm fine," he smiled
"Are you sure,"
He nodded in response as he did I switched the music to a more upbeat song and mixed my ballet dance moves with the music, as I danced Hitman Bang came to the door I continued to dance not sure what to do, do I stop dancing? Finally, the song finished and I bowed politely to Hitman Bang as I caught my breath.

"Good afternoon," I greeted politely
"Can I please speak with you in my office," he said walking towards his office I followed him quickly leaving Jungkook behind, what's going on.
I sat down on a leather lounge Hitman Bang stacking some random papers.
"I want to train you," he said bluntly
"I'm sorry what, for starters, I'm not exactly K-pop star material," I argued
"Bighit needs a new addition, a pop star from a Korean agency would be controversial," Hitman Bang exclaimed
"I can't even sing," I said looking at the floor

"Jimin, Jimin told me that you can," Hitman Bang replied
"What, Jimin?" I asked confused
"Just think about it," Hitman Bang passed me a card with his phone number
"I'm sorry but I can't do this," I got up from the lounge and quickly left the room
I ran out of Bighit Jungkook looking at me with a mix of confusion and anxiety and sat on the bus seat.
This year in Korea is getting out of control I never expected to end up dealing with feelings for a k-pop idol or deciding if I want to be trained to become a pop idol!
