Voice Like Ours
Mk, so I'm just playing around with this. I just... I don't know lol
Hee Young wanted to vomit.
They had ten minutes before they went on for their first performance as a group and she wanted to puke.
"Woo! You ready for this, Hee Hee?"
"Don't call me that," she mumbled, hardly able to open her mouth.
"Woah." Myong Ki said, stopping the bouncing on his feet; she was grateful for it too, it was making her feel worse. "You alright?"
She shook her head. "No."
"Why? We've been waiting for this for years!"
"It's only been two."
"That's still years! It's going to be fun!"
Hee Young had to rub her hands against her dress to make the sweat go away; fun was not what she was thinking of right now.
Myungi Ki was suddenly in front of her, bent down so he could see her face. "Wait. Are you really worried about this?"
She looked through the curtain of her hair; the panic was clear... not to mention the little tinge of grey in her cheeks.
"Hey, hey, hey," he soothed, settling his weight on the balls of his feet. "You're amazing! You're going to kill out there!"
"I have horrible stage fright." She whispered.
"This doesn't surprise me." He said matter of factly. "But you don't have reason to be! Think about this: we have a great song, the best singers in Korea" he winked, "and a beautiful girl who has an unearthly voice that's going to blow them all away."
The grey was replaced with a faint pink of blush.
"Now what have you got to be afraid of, huh? I can guarantee you so many girls out there are going to be so jealous. Not to mention all the guys who will surely want your attention."
Those were the wrong words and Myung Ki knew it as soon as he said them.
"Okay, okay, okay," he said as her eyes went wide and the pink disappeared to be replaced by green. "You know what? There's no one out there. No one. Only the lights. Only the lights and us and we've heard you sing before. A million times. I mean, you know me, if I didn't think anyone was amazing I'd let them know. Remember that day with Ae Sook when she was on the verge of laryngitis and she wouldn't quit with her cat howls?" Her lip twitched in a positive way. "Yeah," he drawled. "So you're fine. You're going to be fine."
"Five minutes!" Was called through their earphones. Myung Ki cringed.
"So. They're going to be calling our names in five minutes and we have five members, but it's going to look and feel really weird if we only have four. And it's not going to sound all that great if I have to do your notes."
At least that got a small smile out of her.
"Three minutes!"
With a deep breath, Myung Ki saw Hee Young steele herself as she stood, her knees a little wobbly, but otherwise she was fine.
He gave her a big smile and then took her hand, leading her towards the door.
The others were coming out of dressing rooms, Ae Sook with her five inch heels, Bae adjusting his glasses, and Dae Jung casually strolling towards them with his hands in his pockets.
"Ready?" Dae Jung asked; he ignored the less than positive response glare Ae Sook shot him.
"Places!"
The group made their way towards the low lit stage as the announcer began their introduction. Myung Ki gave Hee Young's hand a slight squeeze before she took her place behind him in the triangle formation, Ae Sook at the point.
"For the first time, please give a warm welcome for the debut of our newest group, 5Voice!"
