2. The Beginning

Before I knew it a tear slowly made its way down my pale cheeks. Suddenly Seo-Yeon, my best friend since preschool loudly interrupted my train of thoughts by waving her hand in front of my face like I was burning on fire, not to mention she was literally screaming my full name out making everyone in the cafe glance or stare at us like we had done something wrong. I quickly wiped the tear and gave her my attention. She pointed to a pale blue flyer on a bulletin board to the left hand corner of the shop. I slowly got up and walked closer to the covered board. It read BIGHIT ENTERTAINMENT FEMALE AUDITIONS! The poster then listed a few days and hours when and where they would be held, it also stated that if you wanted to try-out you need to write a portfolio about Why would you like to become an Idol? What talents do you have? What position are you going for? And many more get to know you/why questions. Seo-Yeon suddenly then started jumping up and down and squealing like a fangirl.

"WE SHOULD TOTALLY JOIN!" Seo-Yeon exclaimed, smiling like Ed the hyena from Lion King. I smiled and agreed with her, but deep down I doubted if I had the look and what it would take to be an idol. I mean when I was singing or dancing, I felt like I was free. It gave me a relief of stress and a feeling that I actually was normal like I was created to do this. Seo-Yeon and my family said I was pretty good and should use my talents in life and do something I love, but I always wondered what would happen if I do actually come out of my shell. It would change my life forever. For the better or for the worse I wouldn't know. I wasn't the type to throw myself out in the world when there would be so many negative disadvantages.

It's been two days since we saw the flyer, Seo-Yeon has been begging, more like arguing that I should at least try out for the audition. I swear she should join the school's debate team. She'd earn the school lots of medals and trophies. The following days we had left until auditions, we worked out making us sore head to toe until we couldn't walk no more or even move anymore. We practiced singing, dancing, and rapping. Putting all our sweat, blood, and tears into perfecting every action, every move, every high note, every fast part of a rap until all of our hard work finally led up to audition days.

Finally, the auditions came around the day to make it or break it. The auditions would be held across the city at a small company under BigHit Entertainment named 1andK. Seo-Yeon's mom drove us, sitting in the backseat I was a wreck. I had millions of butterflies in my stomach. No, more like a swarm of bees thrashing around in every direction around my stomach. My body was slightly shaking. My anxiety level felt like it could reach the Burji Khalifa all the way in Dubai, United Arabia Emirates. I opened the car window and took a deep, steady breath. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of cars running and the breeze slightly pushing my bangs out of my face. The sound of birds chirping calming me and loosening my body.

What felt like a year long journey was only an hour car ride. When we got out of the shiny, pearl, white Toyota Lexus Seo-Yeon linked arms with me and gave me an encouraging look.

"Thank-You Mrs.Park," I said waving goodbye. We told her the audition might take a few hours, so she decided to visit her friend in the city while we were gone.

"Ready?" Seo-Yeon asked anxiously.

"R-ready as I'll ever be,'' I stuttered, starting to walk inside the tall building. I felt nervous and excited at the same time... Then we reached our destination. My excitement vanished, paralyzing me in panic. The line of girls here was amazing. I was surprised it didn't lead back to Seoul. There was a variety of girls from a variety of religions and colors. Everyone here looked nervous and excited as well, however unlike me they all looked perfect with beautiful with long hair, no glasses, perfect bodies, big bright eyes, shiny, white teeth, long eyelashes, and overall unique amazing styles.

"Looks like the competition will be tough,'' I joked, making a smile not quite reaching my eyes.

"Ya, I guess so but look on the bright side we worked as hard as any other girl in this room. We got and deserve a shot!" Seo-Yeon exclaimed, raising a fist in the air. I softly giggled

"Hey, stop that you're hurting the air," I said pulling her fist down, making her burst to a stream of laughters along with me.
