Begin: A Jungkook Story ✔

Chapter Twelve: Love Calls

Bang PD:

He picked up the phone, already knowing why his partner was calling and from where.

"Hey! Yeah, it's PDogg! I am just leaving the Superstar K auditions in Daegu. It was mostly men and women here, there were a couple of kids I think we might want to look at, though. We will get all the audition tapes in a few days and I will find the ones that I am thinking of."

"Great, thanks PDogg." Bang PD hung up the phone, feeling a thrill of possibility at the thought of reviewing the audition tapes. We just need the perfect boy... he thought, and then chuckled to himself. That's not too much to ask, is it?

Jungkook:

When Jungkook awoke the next morning, sitting up with a start to his room flooded with light, he realized his alarm was off and it was nearly 10am. His parents weren't making him go to school today, he realized. He threw himself back in his bed.

It was over, and he hadn't gotten in. The audition had been all that filled his mind, for weeks, and now his mind was this void, his life was this void. He wasn't waking up as a superstar, he was waking up a stupid failure, just like he did every morning. He pushed himself to his computer, pulled up his favorite video game, put GDragon on his headphones and tried to forget he was a person.

A few days later....

They sat around the dinner table. Jungkook had cheered up slightly, and was telling them a funny story that happened at school that day... and the phone rang.

"Hello," said Mrs. Jeon. "Um, yes, this is his house, what is this about?" Her face changed so dramatically suddenly, that the entire family was now watching her.

"Um, Jungkook..." his face fell, wondering suddenly what he did at school that day that warranted a call home... "Jungkook it's, um, Cube Entertainment company, and they want to talk to you about your audition." Her eyes were huge and she was holding the phone out for Jungkook to take it.

He got up and took the phone with trembling fingers. "Um, hello?"

"Yes, Jeon Jungkook? Cube Entertainment, have you heard of us?" Jungkook was shaking his head and then realizing the person couldn't see him, he choked out: "No."

"Ah well, we are a smaller company compared to the Big 3, but you have heard of some of our Idols and singers! Anyway we saw your audition tape and we were really impressed. Did you get our business card in the mail?"

"No."

"Well it should be arriving any day! We would like to set up another audition for you, if possible. Do you think you would be able to come to Seoul anytime in the next couple weeks?"

Jungkook's eyes were big as hubcaps: "I don't know," he choked out.

"Well listen son, check out our website listed on the card and check out some of our clients and see if you might be interested in being trained by our label. You are a handsome boy and you are the perfect age to train as an Idol."

Jungkook couldn't say a word.

"I will call back in a few days, okay, Jungkook? Nice to speak with you!" And the manager hung up.
