Jung-kook was laying in his bed.

Tomorrow is a big day.

He was excited, nervous, happy, and scared.

What if I'll mess up? What if people won't like me?

"Jung-kook, are you asleep?" asked a quiet voice.

"No, Tae, I am not asleep" he answered.

"Are you thinking about tomorrow? I am too... I am nervous, JK," Tae-hyung admitted.

Since Tae was two years older than JK, he was usually the one who comforted him, not the other way.

However, Jung-kook took a deep breath and said: "It will be okay...we will be okay."

"What if they won't like us...like me?"

Jung-kook touched the ceiling with his fingers: "The only thing that matters in life is your own opinion about yourself."

Tae climbed up his bed, and sat by JK's feet: "Those are some smart words for a fifteen year old."

He smirked: "Thanks, a beautiful girl told them to me."

Tae-hyung smacked his leg: "You have a girlfriend? And you didn't tell me?!"

"Ouch, no, I don't have a girlfriend. It was long time ago, and I haven't seen the girl since then."

"Ah, that's too bad. Did she also tell you what to do when you don't feel confident? Because I would love to hear some advice about that as well."

Jung-kook sat up: "Actually, she did."

"What is it?"

"Fake it 'till you make it," he said and winked at Tae.

Lisa was making popcorn in one of the microwaves they had at YG. She had a tough schedule and was tired from a day full of practicing. The sound of corn popping was making her want to dance. What was it with her and always finding the beat to dance to? She started to slowly move her body.

"You're unbelievable," said a male voice from behind her.

Lisa stopped dancing, and turned around. She blushed.

Great.

"What are you doing here, oppa?" she asked a boy standing in front of her.

It was Kim Hanbin, a trainee who was said to debut in a boy group called iKON. He was multitalented. He could rap, sing, dance, compose, and write. Lisa always admired him. Plus, he was handsome.

"Lisa, I told you, don't call me oppa," he smiled and came closer to her, "Do you ever stop dancing?"

Unable to speak, Lisa shook her head. Hanbin laughed. Suddenly, he reached with his arm towards her.

"I think it's done," he said and grabbed the handle on the microwave.

While Lisa was awkwardly standing in the middle of the room, he took out the popcorn and poured it in of the bowls. ​

"There you go, Lili," he handed her the bowl and she grabbed it with her shaky hands.

"Thank you, op-...Thank you, Hanbin," she smiled and ran away from the room as fast as she could.

As Lisa walked to her room, she noticed that her best friend, Rosé, already set the room up. She put blankets and pillows on the floor and set the laptop on a small table in front of them. Lisa smiled. She always loved movie nights with Rosie.

"Welcome to the Park Chaeyoung's movie theatre, Miss Lalisa Manobal," said Rosie and bowed.

"I love it!"

"Wait, look at this," Rosie grabbed the small device and turned it on.

It was a projector lamp that Lisa received as a birthday gift from her. Suddenly, room was filled with colors of the universe, small stars were twinkling on the ceiling, and both, Lisa and Rosé, felt like they finally escaped from the outside world into their own little bubble.

"It's perfect," she praised her friend.

"Thank you, I know," Rosie smirked, "also could we please watch todays MNET performances first?"

"Yeah, of course."

They sat down and turned the live broadcast on.

As they watched, Lisa wondered how it would be if she debuted one day. She would perform on the music shows, in front of the real people, in front of their own fans. Her heart fluttered. She really wanted it. She wanted to become an idol and not just a regular one, she wanted to become a star. A star that the whole world would know about.

"Look, Lisa, since this is their 600th episode there is a 'hot debut,'" said Rosie all excited.

"Mmmh," she mumbled and looked at her phone.

Rose hit her with her elbow: "Lisa-yah, watch! Look, it's a boy group. I am so curious!"

"Fine, give me some of that popcorn. You ate almost everything," Lisa complained.

Rosé threw one of the popcorn pieces in Lisa's face. After short silence, they bursted out laughing.

The music, started, and both girls looked at the screen. She scanned the members of the boy group called BTS. They were, dressed in black and gold clothing. Chains, caps, and headscarves made them look like a group full of rappers.

"That can't be right..." Lisa whispered.

One of the boys, reminded her of someone she has met before. He had black hair, black eyeliner, and with the type of clothes he was wearing, she couldn't be sure if what she was thinking was correct.

Her heartbeat sped up.

The camera focused on the boy and he looked straight into it: "The name is Jung-kook, my scale is nationwide..."

Lisa started to choke on the piece of popcorn. She coughed, and Rosie patted her back.

"Gosh Lisa, no wonder why I almost ate it all by myself. You can't even eat like a normal person. Are you okay?" Rosé worried.

Once Lisa finally stopped coughing, all she managed to say was: "Fuck, that's Jung-kook."
