❥KIM TAEHYUNG POV❥

Finally, the day has come. Today is the singing competition as the competition is held in our college's auditorium and it's fine in size. There are almost 100-150 students as audiences.

Right now, I'm standing at the backstage, waiting for my turn while a girl named Yeri is singing and her voice is so beautiful.

The contestants who sang before me were so good and their amazing voices made me nervous. I snapped when the host said, "Good job, Yeri."

She gave a warm smile to the host before getting off the stage and I felt a huge lump in my throat when the host called out for my name, "The next contestant is Kim Taehyung."

"You can do it, Taehyung." I told myself as I took a deep breath before making my way towards the stage. I couldn't help but get more nervous after seeing the audience as I haven't sung in front of anyone before.

I grabbed the mic with my trembling hands, looking at the audience as they all were already staring at me, waiting for me to sing and I got more nervous but then my eyes landed on Jiminie and Yoongi Hyung who were sitting in the front seats.

My eyes locked with Jiminie who mouthed a 'You can do it, Tae.' and made a fighting sign with his hand.

He is such a true friend. He might have noticed the nervousness on my face. I inhaled a deep breath then exhaled, closing my eyes, parted my lips, and started singing.

I finished the song and all I could hear was students cheering & clapping as I had my eyes closed. I opened my eyes hesitantly and saw how the audience was clapping for me.

A smile crept on my lips, feeling nothing but happiness in my body by seeing the positive response. I guess, I sang well.

"Wow. It was wonderful Taehyung." The host praised me, making me smile but then I noticed a familiar face.

Jungkook....He was also smiling and clapping for me?

I mean, aren't I his opposition?

I snapped when the host said, "You can sit with the audience, Taehyung."

I nodded my head, getting off the stage, and made my way towards Jiminie and Yoongi Hyung, taking my seats beside them.

"You were amazing, Tae." Jiminie praised me and I smiled before thanking him, "Thank you, Jiminie."

We shifted our attention on the stage when the host announced, "The next contestant is Jeon Jungkook."

The audience went crazy after hearing his name and most of them were girls as they started screaming his name, "GOOD LUCK, JUNGKOOK OPPA!!" A girl screamed near my ear as she was sitting behind me and I made an irritated face when she started whistling for Jungkook.

That asshole Jungkook made his way towards the stage, held the mic like a professional singer but then his eyes locked with mine and he smiled at me?

"What is his problem? Why is he smiling? Oh, maybe he is thinking that he will win but oh no, this time I'm gonna win Jeon fucking Jungkook!" I thought to myself, rolled my eyes as he was still looking at me.

I looked away, not wanting to see his stupid face but my jaw dropped when he started singing, and damn, his voice is so fucking good.

He continued singing and I found myself singing lyrics along with him as he finished his song and the audience went insane.

Now I don't think so I have a chance to win this competition.

"Congratulations, Taehyung. Jeon Jungkook is going to win." That's all I could think after hearing his voice.

It's break time as the voting will start after the break so I have decided to go to the canteen and eat because whenever I get nervous I eat.

"Taehyung, Chimmy was right. Your voice is so beautiful. Just different." Yoongi Hyung praised my voice as the three of us were walking towards the canteen.

"Thank you, Hyung!" I said with a smile. I was so wrong about Yoongi Hyung. I thought he is also like his asshole friend but no, he isn't. In fact, he is sweet as honey.

He smiled back at me as we took our seats, grabbed our snacks from the counter, and started eating.

After finishing my food, I got up and went to throw the empty food tray in the dustbin. I threw the food tray in the bin as I turned around to go but found the same asshole standing there with a stupid smile on his face.

Did he forget that we are enemies??

I parted my lips to speak but he cut me off- "Your voice is so beautiful bread cheeks."

I couldn't help but stare at him suspiciously. Why is he praising my voice? Is he planning something??

"Uh-thanks!" I said awkwardly before leaving him behind.

I entered the auditorium and saw most of the students were already done with voting. I made my way towards the table where a big jar was placed, white clean voting cards, and of course, a marker.

I picked the marker and wrote down my name on the voting card. Oh, I forgot to tell you that the contestants can vote too but isn't it weird? I mean, who would vote for other contestants?

Whatever! I'm gonna vote for myself. I folded the voting card and put it in the jar. I sighed, ready to go but then I noticed Jackson was looking at me weirdly. Well, he is in charge of votes.

"Why the fuck are you looking at me like that?!" I growled, glaring at him.

"Nothing." He said, rolled his eyes, and looked away from me.

What a weirdo!

I ignored him, started walking, and saw Jungkook walking to the table to do vote. I continued walking but stopped in my tracks when I heard---

"Kook, you are voting for that Taehyung?" Jackson asked.

I turned around and looked at Jungkook who didn't say anything, just writing down the name.

He is voting for me? Doesn't he hate me? Isn't he the one who made my life hell?

I shrugged my shoulders and went away from there, getting excited to get reveal the winner's name tomorrow. I just hope, I would win because I need money.
