Taming Yoongi

Audition Song

        The rest of the day went by incredibly slow. Minji wasn’t there because she was doing some big project for the principal and Taehyung had left to stop Jimin from going to Seoul for some reason. To say the least it was incredibly boring.

        As soon as the bell rang I went home so I could work on some songs. Not that I could do anything else since my mom had grounded me. According to my calendar I would be ungrounded in three more weeks on the last day of school. After that I don’t know maybe I’ll look for a job.

        I walked into my house and went straight upstairs. I opened the door to my room and found Minji and my mom standing in the middle of the room. I was completely shocked.

        “Oh, Yoongi you’re home. Minji stopped by to visit you.” My mom said. She walked out of my room and I just stood in the doorway.

        “Um, was there something you needed Minji?” I asked awkwardly.

        She smiled at me. “No but you are grounded so the only way for me to see you is to come visit.”

        I awkwardly walked over to my bed and threw my bag on it. “Well that’s true.” I looked around the room. “Make yourself at home.”

        Minji sat down on the bed and I sat down in front of my computer.

        “Are you working on some music?” Minji asked.

        I nodded and started up my computer. As soon as the computer came up I opened up a new song I had been working on. It was a slower song that had a lot of soft beats and a melody that I would have to have someone else sing for me. It was okay right now but it needed a lot of work.

        “So is this Suga’s next song?” She asked me.

        I thought about it for a minute. “Probably not.” She looked at me like I was crazy. “I mean it still needs a lot of work and I don’t have anyone to sing the melody.”

        She nodded her head like she understood even though I knew she didn’t.  

        “Do you want to help me make a new song?” I asked.

        Her eyes got really wide and seemed to sparkle when she looked at me. “Of course I would.”

        We worked on a song for several hours. Minji had a horrible sense of music but I tried my best to help her. She liked cute love songs and I liked sad rap songs so we tried to put both into one. It was an okay kind of song. No one would produce it or anything without some serious help but Minji and I made it together and that’s more important than it being good.

        “Oppa, how about we put a drum beat here.” Minji leaned over and took the mouse to put a drum beat in one of the sections.

        She looked back at me to see if I liked it and her face was only inches away from mine.I felt myself blush and Minji quickly pulled away. We both awkwardly stood there until my mom barged in.

        “I’m sorry Minji but you need to go home. Yoongi is still grounded.” My mom stood in the doorway waiting for Minji to leave.

        Me and Minji just looked at each other. “Bye, Minji.” I said.

        She smiled and walked out the door with my mom following closely behind. Saying my mom was a little crazy would be an understatement.

        I looked at my computer with the song me and Minji had made still up. I stared at it for a few moments and continued to work on it. I worked on it for several hours but I still couldn’t make it sound like I wanted it too. I was frustrated.

        I went online and watched different rappers and singers trying to get inspiration. After a while my phone vibrated with a text. The number was unknown. I opened the text and it was a picture of an audition poster. It was for a company called Big Hit. The audition would take place in a month but a original song or rap had to be sent in by the end of the week. But who sent this to me and why? I sent a text asking who it was but never got a reply back.

        I looked at the editing program pulled up on my computer. I minimized mine and Minji’s song and pulled up a new file. I immediately got to work on a song.  All I had was three days to get the song completed and sent to the company. Who knows maybe this will finally be my big break.

        I worked all night until my mom came to wake me up for school. As soon as she saw me in front of the computer she started yelling and I slowly dragged myself away from the screen to get ready for school. When my mom left the room I secretly saved the song to a flash drive and shoved it and my laptop into a bag so I could work on it at school.

        When I arrived at school I sat at my desk with my laptop and got to work. The song was almost done. I had already recorded the rap and the music was almost done I just needed to add a few more things to it. I should be able to email the song to the company in the morning.

        “Oppa!” I heard someone yell behind me.

        I took out my headphones and looked at Minji. “Hey.”

        “What are you working on?” She questioned.

        “Someone sent me a picture of an audition poster so I’m making a song to send to them.” I said simply.

        A sad expression crossed Minji’s face for just a second before she was back to her normal self. “That’s great.” She said.

        As I was about to reply the bell rang and Minji left so she wouldn’t be late for her class. I closed my laptop and the teacher walked in to start class.
