Min Yoongi's

2.

I fiddle with my phone as I sit in the lobby of the BigHit Entertainments, my first day as a k-pop trainee. Across me are two boys and from their looks I could say they were here as a trainee too. One of them was tall, maybe the tallest I've ever seen and his face shouted confidence. He was wearing a plain black t-shirt and black jeans but even his plain look brought out the model look in him. The boy next to him was all smiles. His smile didn't leave his face even for a second and anyone could tell from the looks that he was genuinely happy. Both of them kept talking among themselves in Korean and as an Indian who has stayed only a few months here I couldn't understand their conversation that clear.

But nervousness kept getting the good in me as the boys in front of me kept giving me glances, hinting that I was the topic of discussion. I should have been used to this till now , being of a different nationality ,I was a subject of discussion and curiosity for the past month. My train of thought came to halt at listening to someone marching in. The high heels clicked the marbled floor and drew attention to itself but the owner of the commotion looked like she was enjoying it, the attention.

A girl , thin , tall with tiny hips , skin as fair as the snow and Beautiful almond shaped mono-lid eyes with matching fierce black hair as her eyes ,came and stood right in between the boys and me. She looked at the boys and then turned her head towards me, her eyes went a bit big but she suddenly stopped them from growing bigger and took away the curious look off them and choose to sit next to the boys. "Choi Aera ," she extended her hand to the tall one. "Kim Lucas" he nodded. The guy next to him shook the girl's hand and beamed " Park Haru". The three of them turned their heads to me in unison and I was taken aback. I looked at them and I could say my expression screamed question marks. The tall guy gave a small laugh and said " Your name?" Listening to his accent I could say he knew English well. "Oh , um It's Patel y/n".

"Hi y/n " Haru smiled at me which I returned back. The girl raised her perfectly shaped eyebrows at me, "Where actually are you from? If you don't mind me asking...." She asked. "Oh no , it's completely fine. I am from India." I replied, my nervousness slowly fading away. "Woah.. India" Haru whispered but I caught him and to which I passed him a wide smile . "That's cool! I'd an Indian friend back in Australia." Lucas said and Aera turned her head towards him." You lived in Australia ?" She asked. "Yeah literally , born and brought up there." He smiled at her. " So we are the only Koreans here I guess then," Haru raised his hand for a high - five for Aera , which she did but with a little bit of hesitation.

"Seems like you guys have already got to know each other " a voice says from behind. I turn and find Bang PD, Namjoon , J-Hope and Suga stand there.  We bowed to them and they smiled at us . "Follow us " Namjoon said making way into a room. We followed behind them, Aera right behind them,  while Haru was literally jumping like a rabbit behind them and I and Lucas sulked a bit. I looked at him and smiled , "Nervous? Me too" he said.

"So as you guys have must introduced yourselves, this" Namjoon points at Lucas, "is Kim Lucas, the visual and the lead singer  for your group. And this " as he points towards Aera says" is Choi Aera , the visual and the lead singer for the group." Aera smiles at him and waves her hand. J-Hope jumps next to Haru and puts his hand around his shoulder " And this cutie right here will be your korean rapper" he winks at Haru which Haru returns making J-Hope giggle. I get startled as Suga clears his throat behind me , I didn't know he was standing there. He points at me "And she will be your lead dancer and the lead English Rapper " he says. I make eye contact with everyone while everyone else looks at me and Haru claps with no noise for me. " Hey, what was your name again? " Suga interrupts. " Uh.. ah it's Patel y/n." I reply to which he nods.

"Now that the formal introduction has been done  , let's begin with the training and I request you all to come up with a fantastic name till the end of your four month training session", Bang PD says as he looks at the four of us. Haru steps forward and extends his palm towards the centre , he looks at Lucas and he gets the cue , he too steps forward and places his palm above Haru's. Aera does the same. The three of them now look at me. I look back at them and my mind whispers to me there's your team y/n, you are a step closer now, let's do this. "Y/n?" Lucas brings me back to the place, I smile at the three people standing in front of me as I place my hand above theirs. "Hwaiting!" We all shout in unison.
