POV: JEON JUNGKOOK

As the day continued, I started feeling really bored. Kickboxing is the thing I enjoy most and I don't really know what to do when the training is skipped. I don't have a lot of friends to hang out with and I'm not that social. Its not like I'm scared but I'm just not that big of a fan of huge crows or big places. I like it, most of the time. Its annoying though cause at one point you get annoyed of it. I grab my phone to check my instagram, again. Thats almost the only thing I did today. My feed is filled with people auditioning for the big dance event in Itaewon. I've always had an eye on dancing. I know that I've been dreaming of becoming a kickbox star since my 10th birthday or something but there is something inside me that just want to dance. Since I was bored anyway I decided to go to Itaewon. I grab my T-card, my keys and my face mask and I leave the building. The bus arrived after waiting for 5 minutes and I listened to my favorite playlist. The bus arrived at my stop and I checked out.

I decided to visit the nearest grocery store to get myself something to drink and a little snack cause I didn't eat anything besides my breakfast. I chose a croissant and a bottle of water and I started walking to the building. There were ALOT of people, it was unbelievable. I knew that it was an important audition but I didn't know that people from complete different countrys were coming here to dance. I think I saw some people from France and I even saw people for the United States. This company is special because it accepts any race, and that is the cool thing about it. Everyone here was wearing amazing outfits and I stood here in my jogging pants and sweather so I decided to walk away. There is a small park 10 minutes away from the building so I decided to go there. Its full of cherry blossoms and its such a chill place. No one really comes there so thats the amazing thing about it.

POV: JUNG HOSEOK

"It has to be him. I can't be anyone else." I look at the man who is slowly walking towards me. He was wearing all black and it looks like he hasn't been outside for weeks. My body gives me the weird feeling that I know that guy but I've never been in Itaewon before so I don't know how that's possible. The man keeps on walking and he eventually walks past me. He didn't even look at me, he straight up walked into the park. The moment he walked past I could hear his music. He was listening to One last time from Ariana Grande. That is the last song I expected to hear. He looked so mean and he was a very buff man. Well, whatever his preferences are. I can't choose his music taste anyway.

As I check my phone I see that its almost time to return to the building. I look at the man again and he was sitting on a bench making pictures of the pretty cherry blossom trees. He's a weird man and I still have the feeling that I know him, but I really need to leave right now. I start walking away from the park back to the building. The place around the building was even more crowded than before. It was hard to walk through and I almost tripped. While struggeling for 15 minutes I finally made it inside the building. There was a huge hall with a lot of chairs. Each chair had a different number. When I registered myself at the reception I got a number, so I think that is the number where I need to sit. I look at the little paper I got earlier before and it's saying
Jung Hoseok number 357
While looking through the hall, trying to find my chair I found it after 5 minutes. I sat down and waited for Ju-Won to enter the stage.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you all for coming" Ju-Won is talking about all the things you could achieve here at the company. While I'm trying to listen I still think about the boy I saw in the park. This feeling just keeps on telling me that I know him but I have no clue who It could be. I zoned out for a few minutes but then I suddenly hear my name:
"Jung Hoseok, accepted!"
I guess that meant that I am allowed to audition again. A feeling of happiness went through my body and I felt amazing. I could jump a whole in the ceiling. After 30 minutes the presentation ended and we could all go home. I left the building and walked straight to the bus station. It was fun but I wanted to go home. Suddenly I feel a something on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry, do you know which bus is going back to Seoul?" Its the buy from the park again. Is he stalking me?
"Its the next bus, number 82" I say to him. He smiles and me and he walks away. I want to ask him something but he was already listening to his music. This time it changed to Lady Gaga. This man is really something else. He looks so interesting but there also seems something off about him.

It takes me 45 minutes before I'm home again. I enter my apartment and I put my bag on the ground. I was so tired and it felt like my legs were about to fall off. I went to bed and fell asleep within 10 minutes.
