Tales of a Housewife

Sunday Night Before THE Evalution:

• We had practiced, and practiced. I practiced till my bones were broken. Taeyong agreed that we wouldn't dance anymore until the evaluation. He said, "Nothing will change, we've done as good as we can." Still, I wasn't able to portray any emotion with my dancing, and it was driving me insane. I needed to clear my head, so I went to the gym. I had lost 1 kg since the weight check.
• Since I had "special privileges", I could exercise whenever I wanted to. Meaning: I had to exercise whenever I could. I happened to run into Taeyang at the gym. I did not misspell that. I seriously did run into TAEYANG. He had happened to be using the weights with the help of the YG IDOL trainer. I bowed my head right away.
• The trainer nodded in my direction. I plugged in my headphones and started jogging on the treadmill.

• An hour had passed, and I was still going strong. All my hate at Baekhyun was being released for no reason. The trainer came over to me, and said, "It's 10 pm, maybe you should take a break."
• I shook my head and went for another 30 min. At that point the trainer forced me to stop, and I sat down in the chair taking deep breaths. Taeyang, who was still training, stopped and came over and sat by me.
• "A sunbaenim! Don't worry I'm fine!"
• "Well, actually I'm sitting here so I can get a good view of the equipment. But can I ask, why are you so stressed."
• "I'm not stressed sunbaenim!"
• "Until you answer, I don't plan on leaving."
• So like that I ranted about the whole not-being-able-to-dance-properly thing.
• He laughed, as if the whole thing was hilarious. "Don't worry, don't try to be like other people! YG CEO looks for fresh talent, not someone else to replace an already existing person. You don't need to be a HyunA! What ever you do, as an artist, make sure all your performances come from the heart." He got up. "Well that's that. Goodbye dongsaeng. If I see you around I will ask you how it went!" And he left.
• So I've been trying to be too much like a HyunA. That's my problem.

• I looked at Taeyong. He was dressed really nicely, me on the other hand, not so much. He glared at me, and told me to go change. Apparently we had to dress nice for the audition.
• Luckly JinHee was able to lend me her clothing. I was wearing a leather jacket with Hi-low shirt. And shorts with tights. I looked pretty, but overly revealing. Also my dark make-up kind of gave me a trashy look.
• Taeyong saw me. I was expecting a oh-my-god reaction, instead he told me I looked like a duck and kept walking.
• Other trainees seemed to look at me though with a weird expression.
• One by one, people walked into the room to get evaluated. Some came out really happy, and others looked like they just saw hell. It made me nervous, as we were finally called in.
• YG CEO, and about 10 other artists were there to critique us on our performances.
• We introduced ourselves, and the CEO spoke up first.
• "Seeing you two together is interesting. Good luck."

• I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I saw Baekhyun sitting next to the CEO. I knew it was my imagination, but it made me angry. I needed to do my best. And right there, I felt my emotion's change.
• The music started, and I started to dance. I felt fierce and confident. But at the same time, I felt trashy. I don't know, I felt powerful. Like I knew what I was doing, and this is how I was going to do it.
• Taeyong seemed to sense it too. After our dance ended. I felt myself catch up with reality again.
• All the judges clapped. Some of them seemed to be a little impressed.
• One of the artist's started, "When I saw you song selection, I wasn't expecting much. Taeyong, your the best as always. But JinAh, I thought you were selected for your vocal's not dancing! God, that was powerful.
• YG CEO nodded and continued, "I agree with that statement. JinAh-ssi you have impressed me again. I remember calling you a genius, and I don't plan on taking that statement back. Good job, see you next month."
• As we left the room, Taeyong grabbed my hand and pulled me to the corner. "That was amazing! How did you pull that off Ahjumma!"
• I was speechless. "Uh..wefagiej;igj..asdifj;asidjf."
• He gave me hug. Wait, pause, A HUG?!?! I got myself together and pushed him back a little. "Wait what?"
• Well maybe it's time I told you this. "I-"
• He's confessing? No way. I didn't think he-
• "I'm debuting next month. The CEO called me to his office the other day, and said me and a few other guys are going to debut next month and not to worry about the evaluation!"
• "Oh, that's great!"..."Good for you!" My heart skipped a beat.
• "Yeah! And I have news for you! YG said he is debuting a girl group in 2 months! So it's about time you practice hard! I won't be seeing you around anymore. So fight hard for the spot okay!"
• I was overwhelmed. "What?"
