《LET ME IN (ENHYPEN FF)》17~ ippeo ippeoyo

Time quickly passed, as it was soon the day of our second I-LAND test.
I tapped my foot restlessly against the floor as I stayed still for my make-up to be done.
"You have the most perfect skin Soojin!" complimented the older lady as she gently patted the soft cushion pad onto my cheeks.
"Ah thank you." I giggled slightly bowing at her.
"Are you nervous for your performance today?" she questioned as she picked up another make-up brush, sweeping it across her hand.
Yes.
Very nervous.
This was the most nervous I've ever been for a performance.
"Just a little." I replied gesturing a small space with my fingers.
She laughed at my action.
"Of course. As expected of the ace!"
My smile subtly faded after hearing her words.
There it goes again.
The word that makes my toes crinkle.
Ace.
I sighed as I slowly found myself lost in my thoughts.
Like I've said many times before, as much as I'm so truly grateful to be known as the ace on the show, I can't help but get anxious from the constant pressure.
The expectations everyone has had on me ever since I arrived here has slowly been eating me up alive.
For the past few weeks, I've spent restless nights sobbing in bed, fearing one day I'd mess up and let everybody down.
It's so pathetic that I can't just enjoy the benefits of being looked up to by everyone. Like Jake once said, the other applicants on the show would do just about anything to have my title.
Even still, why are my negative thoughts overbearing the good ones?
I don't deserve being called the ace.
I don't deserve all the praises from the producers.
I don't deserve all the friends I've made.
I don't deserve to even be in the I-LAND.

My self-degrading thoughts soon came to a halt when the make-up artist did her finishing touches.
"Okay Soojin, you are ready to get dressed now."
I nodded at the lady and politely bowed before getting up from the chair.
•••
I watched in envy as the small girl sat at the make-up chair being showered with praise from the lady painting her face.
I crossed my arms in frustration as I clicked my tongue.
Park fucking Soojin.
That girl thinks she has the show wrapped around her finger doesn't she.
Well, I don't think so.
I'll show her what happens when you steal the spotlight away from Kim Misun.
I smirked devilishly as I strutted my way into the dressing room.
I scanned the clothing racks with a beady eye before landing my eyes upon the rack in the back corner.
I felt the corners of my lips widen into a smirk as I stepped my way to the rack.
Looking behind my shoulder to see if anyone was around, I quickly fished out a pair of scissors from my pocket.
Let's see how much of an ace you really are, Park Soojin.
•••
"Well, well, well, how the time flies! Today we will be watching the I-LANDER's second performance test!" cheered Chu as she introduced the segment of the show.
"We sure are Chu! Today the applicants will be performing songs with the concept of aegyo!" spoke Sunmi as she threw her hands in the air.
The hosts and producers all clapped excitedly.
"I heard there were a few conflicts among the girls during the preparation for today's stage. I wonder if they'll be able to pull of a good performance." stated Chungha.
The room was filled with hums of agreement.
"Yes, it is a very important day for the I-LANDERS, as today they are going to be ranked from one to twelve by the judges." informed Sunmi.

"What are your thoughts Hyunsik?"
The hosts watched in eagerness as they waited for the man's response.
"I'm very excited to see today's performance as I have yet to see some of the applicants perform with an aegyo concept. I am aware that there are some girls' who struggle a lot with this type of thing, so I hope to see them give it all they've got today."
The cameras panned to the stage as a group of six girls made their way to their positions.
"Ooo looks like first up is Kim Chohee, Park Haewon, Lee Sunhee, Kim Misun, Park Aerum and Park Soojin!"
Applause echoed the room as the stage soon lit up into bright colours.
*I made it a girl version instead hehe hence the change from girl to boy
Ye oneul Special Day
nan neowa hamkke! My Bee
ippeo ippeoyo
ippeo ippeoyo
The girls moved in sync as they energetically bounced across the stage.
Their facial expressions were cute and lively.
Dressed up in nice clothes
I'm on my way to you
I'm so excited and nervous
I'm curious about your reaction
The sunlight is so nice
A floating sensation
I want you to paint the sky with your colours
The judges watched with beaming smiles as the girls' intently displayed their own cute gestures.
The performance was going smoothly until Park Soojin's part came on and the camera quickly panned to the ground.
The judges all stared at the screen in shock.
"Oh no! It looks like there has been a wardrobe malfunction with Park Soojin's shirt!"
Everyone gasped and sighed as the unfortunate event dulled the once livened set.
Producer Cho Hyunsik looked at the poor girl through the screen with sympathy.
•••
You've got to be kidding me.
This is not happening right now.
My heart fell to my chest as I felt the strap from my shirt completely fall to my elbow, exposing my laced bralet.
I quickly made an attempt to grab the strap and pull it back up, but to my despair, my part was coming up soon and it involved using my hands.
Unable to think of a solution, I frantically sang my part as I had practiced, leaving my upper chest to be exposed to the camera.
My pretty heart
Can you take it, baby?
Our shine in your eyes
It's so nice
Holding your pretty hands, I want to fly far away
Today (Today) Particularly (Particularly)
You look pretty
As the song advanced to the chorus, I held the strap up securely with my left hand, restricting me from fully performing the choreography.
Tears filled the corners of my eyes as I pushed through the rest of the song, unable to properly execute my parts.
neol yeongwonhi saranghae
ippeo ippeoyo
I gave my last smile to the camera before waiting for the song to conclude.
Once we were given the 'ok' signal from the media team, I ran as fast as I could backstage.
That did not just happen.
My whole ass bra was exposed for everyone to see!
How did it even fall off like that?
Why did it seem as if it was purposely cut off?
I snapped out of my trance when I crashed into a hard, stiff chest.
I looked up to face the figure as my eyes met with a boy with a concerned look on his face.
He looked at me with caring eyes as he suddenly pulled my into his chest for a warm embrace.
"It's okay Soojin." cooed the calming voice as I felt his gentle hands caress my head.
"Heesung oppa is here."

Rooms of the Desolate
Rooms of the Desolate is a collection of short stories designed to guide the reader through the many rooms and mysteries of the bleak and greyscale labyrinth of the Desolate. The first entry, "The Forever Tower" follows an unnamed wanderer climbing an endless, colourless tower; the only world they have ever known. As they slowly ascend alongside the masses, they consider the nature of their world and look to the corridors as temptation beckons. The second entry, "Production Line", follows an engineer in a boundless factory, who encounters a product that does not wish to bow to the overseers and makes them question their belief in the truth and duties they were made to believe. Content guidelines: Current entries do not include explicit profanity, but future entries may do so, hence the presence of that tag. Some entries do include gore and violence, though not currently to particularly extreme degrees. The Desolate is exactly that: a desolate world; as such, it is bleak, downtrodden, and may deal with mental struggles. Cover art credit: Adam Borkowski on Pexels.

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
