the softie

First day

"Sungie!"

A familiar voice shouts at my face. I look up to meet my mother's eyes sparkling brightly.

"I'm up, what happened?" I ask sitting up in my bed, my mother smiles as she lifts up her phone.

"Your company called; you're going to debut tomorrow!" My mother states cheerfully.

Tears of joy fog my vision.

"Really? This isn't some twisted prank?" I ask making sure she's telling the full truth.

She hands me the phone, I look down and begin reading the email, 'Dear Han Jisung, due to unexpected changes in a group you will be debuting as of tomorrow as their new member, get to the dorms by 12:00 and meet your new bandmates, your team manager will meet you there. Congrats.'

This isn't a joke, I slowly begin to panic as reality sets in, the email said 'New member' I'm going to be in a group filled with people I've never met? And I have to meet them in 5 minutes? I don't think I can do this; God kill me now!! As I begin to speak my mother interrupts me,

"This is your big chance Jisung, do- SHOOT look at the time, you have to get going sweetie!"

I nod as I quickly spray some perfume on and run down the stairs and then to my car, as I close the car door, I wave my mom goodbye. Quickly I type the address from the email into my GPS and start driving.

Suddenly I realize something, what if this is a scam? What if someone kidnaps me? I shake away those thoughts swatting my hand back and forth. They emailed me because I'm talented! No other reason, my hard work is finally paying off! As I continue to boost my confidence, I slowly realize I've been in the dorm parking lot for 30 minutes. And it's now 12:37, SHIT. I turn of my car and swing open the door, as I close the door behind me, I take a look around, but nobody is in sight except for one tall man in all black who is speed walking towards me with a.... Smile? I think? Instead of jumping into my car (as most people would do) I decide to wait for him, he's not a murderer to attractive! Right? right...... The man makes it to me panting with a fake jolly look on him.

"Your Han Jisung correct?" The man asks his voice much deeper than I expected

I nod timidly, words for some odd reason won't come out.

"I'm the manager for the group you've joined, sorry if I scared you, I will tell you about myself later but for now follow me to the dorm room."

A sigh of relief escapes my mouth, turns out not everyone is super shady killers. The man begins walking towards a large building I follow closely behind him, as we enter the building, I see many idols walking into their rooms or going up the elevator some of which i recognize. We enter the elevator alone luckily as we head to the 14th floor, the wait feels like hours but soon I hear a light dinging noise, I look up to meet my managers smiling face he hands me a key and points towards the door directly Infront of the elevator, I nod and begin walking forward, I hear serious voices on the other side and suddenly I feel a bit smaller, I insert the key in the hole and turn the door knob, the door burst open to a group of 7 boys some teary eyed while the others have anger written all over them, one of them locks their eyes with mine and sighs deeply.

"Could you please sit down?" The boy says sounding unfriendly; I nod and sit directly on the floor not prepared for whatever was about to happen, suddenly my phone dings and everyone looks in my direction, I get embarrassed and fumble trying to grab hold of my phone, the notification is from the manager he texted me.

'Good luck kid.'

How fucking ominous, I quickly put my phone on silent mode already understanding manager left me here to fend on my own, but I can't be too mad. Another member looks my way, he's quite handsome with sharp features and no doubt he could be displayed on an art show case he has dark hair and dark eyes and just by his facial expression he looks quite feisty.
