Lisa’s POV
JYP Entertainment
One of the biggest entertainment in all of Seoul. One of the big three company. It’s not that easy to get accepted in such company but here I am, standing at the very ground as the building. I still can’t believe this day.
As I stand in awe, looking at the building, eyes sparkling, someone suddenly bumped into me. “Move your ass” she said instead of a ‘sorry’. her eyes is piercing into my soul as she give me a very, very cold stare and the tone of her voice sounds really annoyed. She was wearing a mask so it was kinda muffled but you can still clearly hear what she said. Her hair was in a ponytail and the tip of it was a little wavy. She is wearing a school uniform so I’m guess she just got off from school.
“I’m sorry. She’s kinda not in the mood right now.” Out of nowhere, a boy appeared. He was wearing a mask and a cap. “Oh, haven’t seen your face here before. You must be new. I’m H-“
“Han Jisung. Would you stop flirting and move you fucking ass here?” the girl who bumped me earlier cut the guy and, again, gave a really grim look. Her arms are crossed as she was staring at him while her feet was giving a tapping sound. As if she was in a hurry.
“Ahh…yeah. “ he replied and started to run to her. But before he completely run off, he stop to say “Nice meeting you by the way” he smiled and waved goodbye before leaving. Thank god there’s still someone out here who’s kind. That girl was really rude. Though, she looks cute.
Oh yeah, I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Takahashi Lisa, 16 years old and have travelled all the way from Japan to fulfill my dream, and that’s becoming an idol. I flew all the way to Seoul alone and I admit, it was really scary but this is the path I chose so might as well, man up and face the world.
I have two other siblings they were both boys and I’m the only girl so it was kinda hard convincing my parents because they were afraid of what will happen to me here in Seoul but with my perseverance, I got their permission and here I am.
Moments after I stepped foot inside the building, I found myself lost in the process. Great. Everything was written in Korean and English and my reading comprehension on both language are limited. How am I supposed to find my way in the dance studio now?
“Hi” as I was panicking inside, another guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He was also wearing a school uniform, the same as the girl from earlier. He was giving a really warming smile. Great, now I can ask him where the way to the dance studio is.
“Hi. Uhm. I’m kinda lost and-“
“Bye” he said and left. I stood there, frozen, trying to process what he just did. So, what the fuck just happened? He didn’t even care to listen to what I was saying and just left. Just like that. Are the people in here all fucked up in the head?
I just groaned in frustration and just walked my way to the elevator. I hoped I won’t encounter another weirdo again.
And to my surprise, there’s another weirdo, standing inside the elevator. I shouldn’t have said that. He has this weird dirt on his face, from his left to the other side of his cheeks. And judging by his face, he doesn’t look Korean.
Should I enter or just wait for the other one to come down? Argh, I don’t really have that much time. I need to show up in the dance studio or else, the staff might lose interest on me, regard me as slacker and pull me out.
“Uhm. Excuse me, are you getting in or not?” the guy inside the elevator said with a really deep tone of voice. It was deeper than the Bermuda triangle itself. Okay, I was exaggerating but it was still deeper than all of the boy’s voice I have encountered.
I was taken aback by his voice and panicky said ‘yes’ in the process. I face palm myself and just get in with him. Great job, Lisa.
As we are inside the elevator, I heard the guy mumbling to himself. I don’t really quite understand what he was saying but I am high key getting scared. He might be mumbling a curse or some spiritual bullshits. Is he trying to cast a curse on me so that I fail this evaluation? oh no, what should I do?
“Excuse me, may I know which floor you’re getting off so I can put it in?” he asked with a broken Korean while pointing at the buttons of the elevator. Shit, I was so feed up by my thoughts and didn’t realize that we still haven’t move an inch and that the elevator door was still wide open.
“Ah yeah, sorry. I am going the dance studio”
“Ah, the dance studio. I’m actually going there to you must be a trainee. . “ the guy whose name I still don’t know said and flashed a smile at me. The dark aura that he was emitting a few seconds ago suddenly vanished and is now replaced by a warm one.
“Yeah, I’m actually new here and still doesn’t know the way. “ I awkwardly said with my also broken Korean. I really need to study or else, I won’t understand anyone in here.
“At the moment there. I thought you were a staff. Haha” Do I fucking look like a staff to you, you weird looking foreigner?
The door was about to close when someone suddenly shouted a “wait” seconds before it completely close. The guy, who was standing near the buttons, immediately pressed the open button and a really cute guy appeared, trying to catch his breathe. He was also wearing a school uniform, but it was different from the ones I encountered earlier. He mumbled a ‘thanks’ before entering.
Man, I still haven’t been in this building for an hour but I already encountered a lot of weirdos. Cool
The music was heard outside the dance studio, and yes, I am outside, standing. I was late. Shit. Everyone is inside already, practicing. I don’t even know if I have the courage to go in. I might disturb them in the process.
I let out a sigh and just slowly sat on the floor with my back leaning on the wall. I’ll just wait here until they finished their session and well, practice alone.
“You okay there?” As I was having a moment, another guy appeared out of nowhere. Wow, people here really like to appear out of nowhere huh?
I looked up and saw a guy carrying what appears to be a…bundle? Okay, can the people here get any weirder? First, that really rude girl who bumped at me in the front side of the building. Second, that guy who left just like that. Third, that weird foreigner at the elevator. And now, this? Is he a lost historical person who somewhat got stuck in this era? Cause who the hell would still go around carrying a freaking pink bundle? No one. Just him.
“What are you doing sitting out here? You got punished or something?” he asked, taking a sit beside me.
“No. I arrived late and don’t have the courage to go in” I heard him chuckle so I look at him. Did I say something funny or he just finally lost it?
“Haha. There’s actually only one guy who’s currently inside that room so there’s no reason for you to be sitting in this cold floor” he said. Then why did you sit with me? “Come. I’ll introduce you.” Introduce another person without introducing yourself first. Okay, Cool. He stood up and offers his hand. I just took his offer and stand up without complaining. I don’t think I have the energy for that anymore. I haven’t been here for that long but I already lose my sanity. “I’m Minho, by the way”
“Lisa” was the only thing I said while following him inside.
We entered the room and there I saw a tall guy dancing. He was only wearing a plain black t-shirt and a red pants but I still found myself attracted to him. The way he dance was exquisite, as if his body was part of the music. Like a note. My eyes couldn’t stop following his every move. And I can feel the beating of my heart getting faster and faster, and my cheeks are burning up. It was like I got caught in some weird magic spell. What is this that I’m feeling?
“Hyunjin!” Minho called as he stopped the music and in that moment, I was back on tract. Back to reality.
“Ah hyung! I was almost done with the music, why did you end it?” the Hyunjin guy pouted. He look so cute..ahhhh. Lisa, contain yourself.
“Just get back to it later. I want to introduce you to someone” Minho slowly walks up to me, who was standing at the door, while Hyunjin’s eyes are following him. When Minho stopped at my side, that was when Hyunjin took notice of my presence. “This is Lisa. She’s new around here so we are going to help her adjust.”
“Oh okay. Hi, my name is Hwang Hyunjin. Nice to meet you.” He flashes a really soft smile. His eyes formed into a crescent moon. It was bewitching.
