Diary of a Kpop idol

Chapter 09

December 16

I did my morning routine and wore a black corset-style crop top with adjustable straps and side ties. Nike Classic black joggers with a loose fit, a pair of black and grey Nike sneakers. A Fendi chunky silver chain necklace, Silver hoop earrings, and a sleek, long ponytail.

I had two pieces of luggage and one backpack. Everything was packed well and I and Xingyi went to our destination. It was a an hour ride. We got off and had to walk a little bit. The building was situated a little bit far away from the town and had a greenery view with an extra-large garden jogging track and it was amazing.

I said goodbye to Xingyi and Taeha. When I got inside, the staff greeted me, marked my name, and showed me the way to a room. Which looked like a meeting room.

There were already 8 other girls sitting, and the staff took my luggage and asked me to sit down. I sat down beside Lily unnie. After some time, people, including a few I knew, came and sat down in front of us and introduced themselves to us.

After they said everything, I couldn't help but blurt out that Teacher Lee, had improved his acting skills.

Everyone laughed and teased saying I have got a lot of guts. I and Lily unnie practiced for a survival show but after coming here they said they decided to create a group from the best trainee in each company.

I was puzzled then why SM could send two trainees, but I kept it in my mind to ask later. We will sign a contract for a year and will work together as a sample group but we have to go through a quick evaluation in the upcoming week.

We were given the contract and asked to sign it after reading it. The clauses of the contract were more advantageous to us than the companies.

Other trainees either called their houses or thought for a while. I also sent a text to Xingyi and signed the contract. I send Xingyi I think I am trapped. This is not a survival show but they are making an idol group

After everyone signed the contract and introduced themselves to others.

Everyone discussed the group name, and after a lot of names,s, everyone decided on the name OnA, and the fandom name would be Nova. It was nearly 2 hours when we concluded. In the middle, we were offered a cup of coffee too. There was a total of 12 members and if the 12 members would get to debut was our luck.

Then they gave us a piece of paper and a pen and asked us to draw a symbol, and after that, they said we could go for lunch on the third floor. We said goodbye and went to the third floor.

After taking lunch, we were taken to our temporary room. Which is a place where we will stay together as 12 members. I arrange my items in the bag in the cupboards. Soon we was given a practice outfit.

Off-white colored 2 leggings, 2 shorts, 2 knee length shorts, 2 pants, 4 crop tops, 2 tank tops, 2 sweaters, a hoodie, and a windbreaker. It was all Adidas. And a off-white chunky shoes.

I changed into the pant with crop top put a ponytail and went to the practice room we were given 4 hours to practice as a group of four. We had to cover a Blackpink song. I and Lily was in the same group together with 2 other called Julie and Chaeyeon. We were given the song Boombayah. The other two groups were given Whistle and Playing with Fire.

I took the things into my hand and distributed the lines, me as Jennie, Lily as Jisoo, Chaeyeon as Rose, and Julie as Lisa.

I let other 3 memorize lyrics while I practice the steps. So I can teach it to the other three. By the end of 4 hours, we were done, and even though it was not perfectly synchronized,d, it can be said to be a good performance.

The singing was additional, but all 3 groups were ready to sing and dance. Whistle was the first performance. My eyes were on Yuji, who covered Jennie's part.

The next was Playing With Fire and the last was Boombayah. We enjoyed performing the song. When we was done with it we was given a bunch of rules. Then we were asked to prepare 1 single item every day. A song, a rap, or a dance.

I did my morning routine and wore a past knee long dress with a sweater on it. Everyone took their breakfast and everyone was called into the meeting room. There was a memo pad with a pen in front of each one on the table.

Manager Unnie showed videos and profiles of each member. The last one showed my profile, my name, my age, and other things, together with a few videos of mine when I was a trainee.

Then, at 10 a.m., our weight was measured, and we had to have our weight under 50kg.

Later everyone was asked to show their skills in every aspect. I sang Hello by Adele and was asked to another one, and I sang the last chorus of Set Fire to the Rain by the same artist, rapped Icy Girl by Saweetie, and danced to Around by Taeyong ft. Hitchhiker.

Later we were taken to another room. It was even larger than the practice room. It was a closet. The closet was divided into brands and there were clothes, shoes, and accessories. Manager Unnie said we could use clothes from here and also gave a suitcase to each member. She said there were pajamas and other necessary items.

We went back to our room, and I arranged my things and then went to lunch. After lunch, I came back and was busy talking to my friends and relatives. Later in the day, after dinner, everyone decided to get to know each other and decided to play a few games.

We got closer than the day we were. There was two Japanese members and one Chinese-Thai member in the group, Korean-American member, American member.

The oldest is the American member Indigo, born in 1995, then a Japanese member Skye, born in 1997, and then Chinese member Minmin. She was born in 1998, and the next oldest is Julie, born in 2000, Yuji, who also was born in 2000, and the next oldest is Somi, who was born in 2001.

The seventh oldest is Hani, who was born in 2002. Lily was also born in 2002, and Rami, the other Japanese member, the ninth oldest, was born in the same year.

The third youngest is Chaeyeon, who was born in 2003, and the second youngest is Heaven, who was also born in 2003, and I was the youngest, born in 2005.

We were given 5 hours to practice Twice Knock Knock and What is Love. I was in the Knock Knock group and practiced the song.

It was nearly midnight when we went back to sleep after showing the performance we practiced. I did my night routine before going to sleep.
