Episode 3

I thought I would have to audition infront of a lot of judges but to my greatest surprise it was completely empty. The room was huge,kinda looked like a dance studio.Three of its walls were covered by gigantic mirrors and the fourth wall held the huge speakers,some cameras and some technical machines (the purpose of which i still don't know).

I was staring around the brightly lit room which by then has started to hurt my eyes. a series of thoughts ran across my mind and at the same time i was nervous.I wanted to end my audition quickly and before I get all sweaty.

"Excuse me?" I said to the staff who was setting up a camera infront of me."Am I gonna audition here? I mean there is no one here." I continued.

"Yes,look into the camera here when you perform. Let me make the intructions clear for you." She said after she finished setting the camera.She seemed to be in a hurry so I nodded quickly.

"You have to perform three songs. One in English , one in Korean and another in either of the languages you are comfortable in. Each song should be atmost thirty-five seconds long. Once you are finished with the songs we will play a random song for you and you will have to freestyle to it." She told me in a hurried tone.

"okay ,I get it. Thank you!" I said.

It took a few minutes for the audition to finally start. I  could feel my heart thumping and I was nervous as hell !

"I flew all the way here for this particular moment.I cannot get nervous and ruin everything. I have made it this far and I will be selected! I have to give my best, I don't want to return to that boring life of mine! I can do it. It's the image that matters the most." I repeated to myself.It didn't help me much.I was still nervous. Anyways I started singing. I started with the song 'Chandelier' by Sia , then I rapped Lisa's part in the song 'Kill this love' by BlackPink and for the third song I went for an English song. I was careful with the song selection as it matters the most. I cannot just sing whatever and expect the judge to like it. I sang 'No scars to your beautiful' for the ending song.

I was clever enough to sing just the catchy parts of the songs in the limited time alloted to me. I was not a pro but I sang to an acceptable level. For my talents I wanted to show them how flexible I was with my vocals,so I chose to do the highnotes and raps in the songs.

I was given a two minutes of break before the dancing round starts. For me dancing is a really sensitive topic because I suck at dancing.My body just becomes stiff out of nowhere when I am told to dance. "I don't need to be necessarily good at everything, right? ofcourse that is why training is for" I thought to myself with a nervous laugh.

"Focus Eve focus, image, just maintain your image!" I repeated to myself.

The music started playing, it was 'Shape of you' by Ed Sheeran. I started to vibe with the song with an 'I don't care what you think' look on my face! I was pretty confident with whatever I was doing until I looked at myself in the mirror.And believe me I was dancing like a dying chicken( I knew the moves but as I haven't learned dancing before so I didn't know how to execute the steps properly). And that's when I messep up!
