A routine that would display all the things her instructors did not think she was capable of accomplishing. The red succubus assisted the desperate dreamer last minute, after SunMi begged her for help. The raw talent that was SunMi was exactly that, raw and unpolished, and she needed to bring out different sides of her or she'd get kicked! Last eval, she was lectured on how she's been there a year and still hadn't shown improvement in confidence. No one wants to watch someone who doubts her every move. Confidence was key to the core of every idol. How else would they get someone to watch them? The more charismatic they were, the better off they'd be. More importantly, there was a higher likelihood they would become [i]marketable[/i] and if anyone knew anything about this market, it was the daughter of AeRi from [i]Three Wishes[/i]! So here she was, in a... red plaid skirt... dancing beside vanity incarnate. Just like AeRi. Bliss. Had she improved in the week? Was she getting the moves down? Did she like what she saw? [color=B9252B][b][i]"Stop."[/i][/b][/color] The track continued, her phone connected to a small speaker, as the voluptuous specimen stopped her hips, that surely didn't lie, and spoke in clear, distinct English. [color=B9252B][b][i]"Get out of your head. If you want to nail this, stop thinking."[/i][/b][/color] Her voice was like... chocolate. Melting, delicious, chocolate. Hard to resist. Desirable. Absolutely delectable... Wide eyed, SunMi blinked at the other idol, trying to decipher every fast word that just came out of her mouth. At last, her English was not good. Yet. It was only a matter of time, though. Although it was apparent she was confused, SunMi couldn't help but look at the cold diva with adoration. She was happy she gained the courage to ask for her help, like, two weeks ago! There was definitely more to this girl than she was revealing, but then again, there was more to herself that she had yet to show too. Maybe, just maybe, they weren't so different after all. Maybe, just maybe, their desire to become idols aligned in some way. Maybe... she could be her friend. Rolling her eyes, Blissany went to the Bluetooth speaker on the floor, bent over, and pressed the pause button. After snapping back up, she turned on her heel, crossing her arms, and ending with an eye roll. Part of SunMi wished she was that... eye catching. It was incredibly hard to look away from the French Korean. Going back to SunMi's native tongue, Bliss tsked, [color=B9252B][b]"Live in the moment. See this."[/b][/color] She pointed to her own temple with her long, french manicure pointer nail, [color=B9252B][b]"That is your enemy. You're not getting trained to think, you're getting trained to perform. To be loved and liked by the world."[/b][/color] [color=A673EF][b]"I know..."[/b][/color] Grabbing the ends of her skirt, SunMi looked toward the ground, swaying in place, [color=A673EF][b]"I just... I want to know if I'm good."[/b][/color] [color=B9252B][b]"Do you need me to tell you something you should be telling yourself?"[/b][/color] Hearing her tutor's response, SunMi timidly glanced up, with a combination of shame and revelation, as she met the dark, enchanting gaze of Bliss. Those words. Harsh, but full of truth. The only person she needed validation from, truly, was herself. Sure, she needed to convince her instructors she was good, but before she could do that she needed to convince herself. Opening her mouth to respond, SunMi immediately closed it when she saw Bliss check her phone and mumble in a language she wasn't even going to try to understand. [color=B9252B][b]"Oh mec. Il est temps de les regarder devenir des imbéciles."[/b][/color] Perking up when the older idol's attention was back on her, SunMi carefully listened to the last piece of advice Ms. Monette would give her, [color=B9252B][b]"Just got a text. Time to shine, [i]girl[/i]. The moment we walk into those doors, I want you to keep your head up. The act starts then, not when you're on stage. [i]Got it[/i]?"[/b][/color] [color=A673EF][b]"[i]O-ok, gurl. We do good. Good is... promise.[/i]"[/b][/color] [color=B9252B][b]"[i]Baby steps.[/i]"[/b][/color] [center][h3][b]~★~[/b][/h3][/center] A rare sight occurred in the basement, right before Kang Hanseul was called on stage. Blissany, one of the bigger threats at AS Entertainment, at least as far as overall performance went, didn't walk in alone. She had the ordinary girl that some people didn't know her name yet, walking in beside her. Ryu SunMi. The girl who stuttered and choked on her words. The timid, bashful, cute girl. Who surprisingly walked in with a new type of 'look'. If she was going to perform, she was coming in ready. There was determination in her brown eyes. Internally, though? Hiding behind the mask that was her face, SunMi was screaming. Before SunMi scurried to a seat, she turned her head toward one of her role models, [color=A673EF][b]"What will you perform?"[/b][/color] [color=B9252B][b]"You'll see. Now go."[/b][/color] Bliss cooed. With subtle nervousness, SunMi nodded and made her way to a seat. One of the closer ones to the stage, to get a better view of the performances. Biting on the bottom of her lip, the shy girl knew she needed to be confidant, but it was hard to do so while she wasn't on stage. So! She'd just smile and fake it until she made it. Sounds about right. As for Bliss, she chose to sit in the furthest seat from the stage and decided to look at her Twitter feed, in boredom. Another eval, another day. Same-o, same-o. Good luck, newbie.
