Scarlet hated train stations. They were too loud for her liking, and she hated the uncomfortable seats. Clara however loved the seating, perhaps because she got the window seat, the absolute god tier of all seats. Scarlet took a deep breath at her home in Andong once more. Nari noticed her tenseness and reached over to squeeze Scarlet's hand.

"Hey, everything is going to be fine" Nari reassured her friend. Clara smiled and placed her arm over Scarlet, squeezing her into a tight hug. "We are professionals, this is business! You got this girl" Clara told her. Scarlet smiled at both of her uplifting and optimistic friends.

From the corner of her eye, she spotted a dark haired male sitting just the seat across from the group of girls. He had a suitcase between his legs and he tapped small little beats with his heavily tattooed hand poking out from his sweater paws. Nari and Clara both noticed Scarlet's gaze and stared as well. He had a sticker of the Kim Ballerina's logo, which perked Nari's interested.

"You dance at Kim Ballerina's too?" She said to the boy; startling him. She let out a giggle and he giggled with her. "Um yes" He responded, moving his leg to show the rest of the logo. "We are the new scholarship recipients. I'm Nari, and this is Scarlet and Clara. Nari said, motioning to the group of girls. "I'm Jungkook, I've heard so much about you three. Most especially you Scarlet, they say you're a prodigy" Jungkook said.

"Is she? She's one of the best I've seen" Clara said, pinching Scarlet's cheeks. "Hopefully you'll stand out, this company is very competitive" Jungkook said. "I've heard, and I don't do well under pressure" Scarlet nervously said.

"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, the Kim's rarely give out scholarship, most of us had to audition, if you three were awarded, you truly talents" He sweetly said to them. Nari smiled at his words and placed a hand to her heart. "Your words have flattered me Jungkook" She told him, and he blushed immediately at her words. The two started small talk and Nari occasionally flirting with the boy, flustering him every second.

Scarlet noticed Clara's tenseness and placed her hand on top of her friends. "Are you okay?" Scarlet said quietly; not trying to interrupt Jungkook and Nari's conversation. Clara hid her frown with a bright smile and pushed back her hair. "I'm fine Scar" She replied, although Scarlet didn't believe her, she let her be.

"Are you guys even familiar with the Kims?" Jungkook asked. "We know that they're literally such a talented family, filled with dancers" Scarlet fangirled. "I heard their son sings" Clara said. "Yeah, Taehyung sometimes sings" Jungkook says. "You know him?" Nari asked.

"We are good friends, he's a really good singer" Jungkook said. Scarlet smiled, her dimples showing. "I'd like to hear him one day" She said, making Jungkook shake his head. "He doesn't sing just in front of anyone" He said. "Understandable" Nari replied.

"I'd still like to hear him, I'll maybe catch him one day" Scarlet said. "Eager, I like it" Clara said.

As time went on, the conversations were dying down. Everyone but Clara had fallen asleep. Sitting next to window made her have a few music video moments. She turned from the window to see that Nari had moved next to Jungkook and she had fallen asleep in his neck, and his head was lying on top of hers.

The pang of jealously in her chest was unbearable. As if it was easy to tell your best friend that you loved her, loved her more than life itself, without ruining absolutely everything. She sighed and slumped down in her seat and fell asleep.

several minutes later

"Wake up!" Nari yelled at Clara and Scarlet. Neither Clara or Scarlet had ever seen Nari so excited before. Jungkook smiled at her enthusiasm and slung his arm around her shoulder. "Shall we go?" He said, leading the girls out of the train.

The girls spotted their ride and bid Jungkook goodbye, although they were going to see him again. Nari, look a little while. She engulfed Jungkook in a large hug, that left the boy as red as a tomato.

Then Jungkook left and the girls headed in their van. "It's really pretty here " Clara said, looking out the window. "It is, and different" Scarlet said. "Jungkook told me they should be taking us to our dorms so we can change and introduce ourselfs to the other students" Nari said.

Scarlet mentally cringed at the idea, she always dreaded human interaction. Once the dorms were in sight, the girls looked in awe on how beautiful everything was. Nari was the first to exit the car and spin around in the front entrance. "Don't forget your suitcase Nari!" Clara told her friend. She saw Nari skipping happily back to the truck of the van and picked up her suitcase. "Thank you"  She told her friend, while ruffling her hair.

The girls walked the long halls in awe. The halls were adorned with gold and renaissance paintings. At times, they pondered if this was a dorm or an art gallery. They all found their respective rooms and Scarlet was once again in shock on how beautiful her room looked.

It was white and gold, and the bed was crisp white with a golden fleece thrown over. She felt as if she was a princess. She dropped her suitcases and plopped on the bed immediately. The memory foam pad felt like heaven, she moaned and every movement she made on the bed. While she stretched her arms out; she felt a note at her finger tips. Scarlet opened the letter by its wax seal engraved with the letter K on it, in gold coloring.

"welcome new trainee's. congratulations on your scholarship to kim ballerina; the most prestigious ballet school in all of korea. enjoy the snacks, drinks, clothing, and beds! however; don't get too comfortable; in a hour you have your first class. please change into appropriate dance attire ( pictured below ) ; and your van will be here to pick you up. again, enjoy yourself and have a wonderful time"

- kim taehyung (heir of kim ballerinas)

"Kim Taehyung?" Scarlet repeated softly, brushing her fingers on the handwriting. She sighed and sat the letter down, she wished she could stay in this bed forever. She quickly got up and freshed herself up, she dressed herself in black tights, a white skirt, and a black leotard. She brushed her curly hair up into a slick bun and grabbed her dance bag and filled it up with all necessities. When she was finished; she took a deep breath and looked into the mirror.

Words of encouragement could be needed at this time. She clutched her maple leaf necklace she had got from her father and she was left thought missing her family. She had hoped this academy was going to work in her favor, she had worked hard for this, nothing terrible can and will happen, so she thinks.
