A WEEK LATER ( A DAY TO KOREA’S GOT TALENT)**
Reece went to Echo’s place as usual just like he has been doing since Jules revealed her past
She has refused to come to school since then and she has refused to come out of her room except at night, he hasn’t seen her face since then and none of her friends has seen her too.
“She’s still not coming out?” Reece asked.
“She’s not” Mrs Han replied.
Reece went to her room and stayed by the door.
“Echo!’ he knocked.
“Are you planning to die in there?” He said.
“Everyone is worried about you, aren’t you concerned?”
“Tommorow is the D-Day and Jules is performing too, don’t you wanna beat the great JJ?” He said.
“Echo!, You’re stronger than this $h|t you’re doing…. come out or I’ll break down this door!”
“Echo!!” He yelled.
“If you don’t come out, I’ll announce to ANJELLS that you’re my girlfriend and I mean it!” He said and waited but she still didn’t come.
“Ok Echo please…. please ok?, Just come out and…
The door opened and she came to view , her room looks like a pig house with nylons of biscuits and cookies everywhere then kegs of juices, she has pizza in her hand, eating with a smile.
“What the F*” Mrs Han said.
Echo hugged Reece.
“You think I’d stay indoors for days without eating?, I still wanna live” she said and Reece smiled, hugging her back.
“And you got me worried on nothing?, I’m gonna ki|| you!” Mrs Han said, coming after them.
Reece pulled Echo into the room and locked the door.
“You both should grow old in there ok!” Mrs Han said .
“I love you mum!” Echo shouted and hugged Reece again.
“Thanks for comforting me, never knew you’re full of sense, your words made me get over it faster” she said.
“Have you been practicing?” He asked.
She looked at him.
“Trust me”
She stood on her toes and kissed him lightly.
“Can you kiss well?” she asked and he drew her closer.
“Should we make it official?” He asked.
“If you wish” she replied.
“You don’t?”
“I think I’ve always wished, was just so blind” she replied and he smiled.
He leaned in and was about to kiss her when the door opened and Mrs Han came in.
Thanks to spare key.
“You’ll rather be in a mutual relationship with Corona virus remember?” She said and Echo gasped.
“That was…
“Reece you should…
“Mum please!!” She shouted and Mrs Han smiled before leaving the room.
Echo pushed Reece to the wall and without blinking, she kissed him softly.

NEXT DAY, KBS HALL, 2PM**
Close to twenty participants has performed already.
The magicians, dancers, rhythmic gymnasts, singers, fast eaters, height climbers, flexible gymnasts, …
A whole lot of them.
The big gigantic hall is full of choking crowd and the screams coming from them at each performance is enough to deafen.
The girls are all in attendance but none of the guys attended, then Echo.
“So she won’t dance after all her practice” Quincy said sadly.
“I can’t believe this, it’s all cos of Jules revelation, that mad Ɓîtçh” Polly glared emptily.
“Seriously all the performances look like nonsense to me since Echo won’t be performing” Trinidad said.
“Same here” Izzy and Bae chorused.
“Echo Han from Golden Era academy!” The MC suddenly called and loud screams dominated the whole place.
She seems to have a lot of fans who’re waiting to watch her.
? The girl who danced at the festival some months ago!
? The one who behaves like a tomboy!
? I love her so much!
? I came here for her!
Jules smiled, watching the commenters.
“She won’t dare come after I shamed her” she said to herself.
The screams started dying down when Echo didn’t show up on stage.
“Echo Han?” The MC called again.
“In her absence, well…
? She’s here!!!!!
? She came!!!!
Echo appeared from backstage and the MC moved away from the stage.
Jules stood unbelievably.
“How could she” she whispered shockingly.
The screams got revived again and Echo finally came to view.
“That’s my girl!” Quincy said loudly.
“No, she’s mine” Reece suddenly sat beside her.
“You came?” Quincy asked surprisingly.
“Of course, my girl is dancing” he winked.
Echo’s dance concept is cobwebs.
She’s wearing a net trousers on net crop top so her singlet is visible and her shorts.
Her song started and she started her business.
She started twisting and whining for the first minutes and everyone screamed.
Her body is so flexible and soft and the way her bellybutton moves at each twist is even seductive.
“d@mn” Reece smiled crazily.
“Never knew she’s Șëx¥ like this seriously” Bae said.
“Same here, she’s hot” Polly replied.
Jules almost couldn’t contain her anger as Echo’s screams kept getting louder and louder.
She obviously got the loudest screams she has ever heard since it began.
A pole appeared on stage, thanks to the creativity of the director of the academy.
Echo did a crazy pole dance and Reece felt his mouth running dry.
She’s something else, a crazy dancer.
She started climbing the pole slowly and everyone started standing as she climbed.
? Echo Han!
? Echo Han!!
? ECHO!!!!!!
They screamed her name as she climbed.
Few inches to the top, thick ropes that actually looks tiny on the dark stage wrapped on her wrist and she let go of the pole, shocking everyone.
She was about to land on the ground when another pole appeared on the other side and ropes wrapped on her other wrist from it.
She widened her arms and legs in the middle.
The net she’s wearing spread with the ropes, making her look like a spider in a cobweb.
If screams could bring down a building, the building will surely come down.
The judges and director at the front looks speechless too.
“I love you Echo!!!” Quincy and the girls screamed.
Reece smiled as the stage lights went off and when it came on again, Echo is gone.
“Jules Jolly!” The MC announced and loud screams started again as Jules went on stage proudly.
The dance she practiced is vampire concept but she decided to do something similar to Echo’s.
Pole dance.
The lights came on and her clothes is gone already, she’s left in only a bikini.
The pole appeared and she finished her dance steps on ground before she started climbing.
The pole kept getting taller as she climbed but she won’t stop climbing.
Her screams are getting louder and louder, that geared her up so she climbed farther and farther.
“She’s going too far” Reece said and as if planned, Jules hand slipped on the pole and she started falling, making everyone gasp.
“I knew it!” Polly said, standing up with the others.
Before the rescue team could get to the poll, Jules fell already and her head got seriously injured.
Her blood ran down the stage as she lay down unconscious.
TBC.
