Chapter 3

Han Jisung

"One order please!" I said at the lady in front of me. I hand her my payment before getting my order.

I sat at the nearest seat at the window. I put my tray down the table, making it create a little tap sound.

I'm starving to death! I haven't eaten my breakfast and lunch yet! I was so busy practicing my rap. I need to pass the audition in the company that I currently have my eyes on.

I started eating my order which is just a bowl of ramen. I was chewing the chewy noodles of the ramen when my thoughts started to wander off.

It's been a week since that fan meeting. I really liked them so much. I wish I can see them soon again. Especially Felix! My weird Australian friend!

But I need to pass my audition first.

BigHit Entertainment called me a few days ago saying to me that they are declining my audition. They're not making me enter the company.

A part of me felt down because of it but also a part of me felt weirdly happy about it and I don't understand! Why the heck do I feel two feelings at the same time?

Yesterday when I was wandering around Seoul, I saw that Starship Entertainment, unfortunately, isn't holding auditions right now.

Again, a part of me felt really devastated but also another part of me felt really happy and it's very weird! Why would I feel happy over these things? I am getting crazy!

So, I only got one company as my last straw of hope.

JYP Entertainment.

A friend of mine gave me the information that they're accepting auditions right now. And that's why I haven't eaten yet.

I need to pass my audition! I don't want to go back to Malaysia and never pursue my music!

"I'm on a hellevator~!" I heard the TV playing. I squinted my eyes in order to see the TV. It's quite far from my line of sight since I was sitting across of where it was positioned.

I immediately smiled when I saw the group that I got to see in that fan meeting a week ago.

Stray Kids.

Squinting my eyes helped me to somehow see how they danced. My smile widened when the member I liked got the camera.

God! He danced so well! I remember the first time I saw him in that fan meeting!

My daydreams were ended by the vibrations coming from my pocket. I rolled my eyes as I shoved my hand to my pocket and pulled my phone out.

"Hello?" I politely said expecting it to be the entertainment I wanted to audition.

"Jisung-ah! Have you eaten?" I hear my father's voice from the other line.

"I'm eating right now, dad," I said. I slurped my ramen while waiting for my dad to say anything.

"But it's past lunchtime! Why are you just eating now? You might get sick!" My father said. I sighed.

"I'm practicing my rapping, dad. I didn't notice how the time passes so fast," I said.

My voice is kinda hoarse and my throat is hurting for a bit because of me overusing it while practicing earlier.

"Are you okay, Jisung-ah? Your voice changed." My father pointed out. I wished he never noticed it but it's too late now.

"I'm fine... I think I overused it for a bit while practicing," I told him the same thing that I thought myself.

"Don't overdo your body, Jisung-ah! Anyway, I gotta remind you. You only got 2 weeks to enter a company. 2 weeks, Jisung! 2 weeks." My father said making me go under pressure. My breath hitched and his sentence rang in my head.

"2 weeks, Jisung!"

"2 weeks, Jisung!"

"2 weeks."

"Oh! I'm gonna hang up now. My secretary is fetching me. I need to attend a meeting." My father said bringing me back to reality.

"S-sure. Bye, dad." I quietly said.

"Bye." My dad hangs up.

I pulled my phone from my ears. I looked at the black-colored screen of my phone mindlessly for a couple of seconds before harshly putting it in the table in front of me.

I felt like I lost my appetite because of what I heard so I just stood up, not minding to finish up my bowl of ramen.

I grabbed my jacket and my phone before going out of the ramen house. My mind went blank as I walked away from the said establishment.

2 weeks? That's so tight!

I was awakened when I bumped into someone.

I immediately said sorry after feeling another body clashing with mine. I looked up only to meet eyes with the one who I bumped into.

His eyes look familiar. Like, I have seen them somewhere.

He's a man with a black mask. He has his white earphones on. He was wearing a blue shirt with 'Panic! At the disco' imprinted at the center with a fancy font paired with skinny ripped jeans and a pair of black sneakers.

He doesn't speak for a quite while so I decided to just bow and leave. I did bow for two times before leaving.

I sighed as torturing thoughts came back. 2 weeks is so short!

I need JYP Entertainment to accept me!

Lee Minho

I was bored while practicing some of our dance choreographies so I decided to take a walk outside.

I slipped my black mask's straps behind my ear before putting my earphones afterward. I opened the studio's door and closed it too when I got my whole body out of the room.

Why am I alone? Well...

Jeongin, Seungmin, and Hyunjin are currently at their University.

Chan hyung and Woojin hyung are probably practicing their vocals together.

Felix and Changbin are hanging out together. As usual.

That's why I'm left alone. It's fine tho. I need to practice dancing anyway.

But dancing alone is boring.

I put my earphones on both ears and put my phone's volume to the max level. I liked shutting people out when I'm wearing earphones that's why I put it at max level.

I was picking a song on my phone when suddenly, someone bumped into me. I quickly looked up to the face of the person who I bump with too.

I didn't expect to see you again.

He said something but I didn't hear him since my earphones blocked every sound created by my surroundings.

I didn't speak because he might recognize me. I'm not ready for a sasaeng fan.

He then bowed for two times before walking past me. I followed him with my stare. I just shrugged after he disappeared in my line of sight like a popped bubble.

I was about to walk away when I felt like I stepped onto something. I crouched down to see what I stepped onto.

Oh~!

I think I've got something to make me see that guy again!

Han Jisung

"Next!" I heard the voice of the staff from the slightly opened door of the room where we stepped a bit closer to our dreams.

Okay, that's dramatic.

I heaved a deep sigh before standing up.

Its the big day! I'm auditioning for JYP Entertainment!

I entered the room. I was welcomed with a white room. I looked at the center to see three guys sitting with a table in front of them. I saw my picture that's clipped into a file.

I'm so nervous!

"Hello." The man seated in the middle greeted me.

"Hello!" I formally replied.

"Tell us about yourself!"

"Good morning, sirs! I'm Han Jisung. I can rap, sing, and even dance. But my forte is rapping. I'm from Malaysia." I said.

"Can you show us a bit of everything you said?" The man seated on the left said. My heart started racing over my chest.

This is it!

"Yes!" I replied. A girl staff gave me a mic.

I started with rapping. I freestyle because I just found out this morning that the notebook where contained my written rap was missing!

I was devastated because I spent most of my time planning on it and practicing it and now, because of my nervous state, I can't remember anything from my written rap.

The track at the background died perfectly after I finished rapping. I was relieved when I didn't see any hint of disappointment on the men seated in front of me.

One down.

Soon, a different track played at the background. I started singing it.

The song I picked has many high notes in it that when I finished singing, I was catching my breath. The men in front of me have smiles on their faces. I was filled with hope when I saw how they smiled.

Two down.

The last one I'm gonna do is dance. I danced using my own built choreography and the track I used is the one I made when I was only 17. But It's pretty good, to be honest.

I was exhausted when I finished it. I can hear faint claps from the three-man that's sitting in front of me.

"Please, wait outside for your audition's result. Thank you." The man in the middle said.

"I understand!" I formally said. I went out of the room nearly squealing out of excitement.

I stayed at chairs placed outside, waiting for the results to come out. I tweeted while waiting.

I was shaking my feet while my heart is pumping so fast.

"Mr. Han?" My head immediately shot up upon hearing my name being called.

"Yes?" I asked before standing up and walking close to the door I walked out awhile ago.

"Please come in. Your results are out." The staff flashed a smile towards me.

"Okay." I walked inside the room. They said so many things but one thing just ranged in my head.

"You passed the audition! Well done!" The man stood up and shook hands with me. I was given a white envelope.

He said that I need to come back here tomorrow for further details about my training.

Soon, I was sent home. I still can't believe it! I passed my audition!

I immediately tweeted about it.

Felix commented a few minutes after I posted my tweet, congratulating me.

Wow! I can't believe it! I passed my audition!

I'm going to pursue music soon!

I'm gonna be a rapper!

Y'all guys!

I just wanna share something with you guys!

Lately, I've been attracted to Seungmin's cuteness like uwu!

I mean just look at him!

He's so freaking adorable!

I'm soft!

My bias list is not okay.

I'm not okay.

He shook my list!

He's slowly claiming the third spot on my list!

But Jisung and Minho will be my forever top 2 in my bias list! 💗

I LOVE MINSUNG SO FREAKING MUCH!💗

I LOVE OUR GAYS💗

So yeah!

That's all for Chapter 3!
