Challenging Dreams [DISCONTINUED]

Ep 1 part 1

Given that Hybe has only sent one trainee, it was only fair for Yichen to feel anxious and lonely. And who wouldn't? He could already feel the pressure on him.

"Ok, Yichen calm down. Everything will go well" He thought while trying to motivate himself. Taking a deep breath he entered a pink room.

As he turned to face the mirror, he noticed stickers in front him. Confused, what those stickers could mean he looked around until he noticed instructions written.

He squinted his eyes, trying to read what was written. "Stick the...stickers on your....name tag...acco...accord...." He tilted his head, trying hard to read the next word. Looking towards the staff with a hopeful and innocent look, he asked "Can you please help me?"

After a staff explained to him he politely bowed and thanked the staff. Taking a sticker out he couldn't help but be amazed. "Wah, it's so shiny" He said with a bright smile and sparkling eyes as though he was a kid who got his favourite toy.

The staffs couldn't fight the smiles creeping it's way on their lips. "This boy should be protected at all costs" A staff member thought to himself as the atmosphere brightened up with the boy's silly antics.

Yichen decided to put 2 stars as he didn't want to be seen as arrogant besides he could fill the remaining stars later. But being a playful kid he was, he sneaked some stickers in his pocket to play with them later.

After the staff signalled him to go, he immediately went out to the main area where the performances will take place. As soon as he entered he could hear gasps, ooh's and ah's. He heard a trainee exclaim "Hybe?!".

"Oh right, I totally forgot I was under Hybe" he thought to himself as he tilted his head looking for a seat since almost all of them were taken. Finally spotting a seat next to a blond guy, he started walking.

The trainee on the first place visibly tensed as Yichen made his way to the seats. Everyone thought he will fight for the first place. However, Yichen went towards the empty seat he spotted earlier not noticing the curious eyes of the other trainees on him. He just wanted to sit down and relax his muscles.

As he sat down, he could hear some trainees chuckling and saying "He totally got us there" That's when he noticed other trainees looking at him. Confused, he tilted his head wondering why they were looking at him.

Some trainees looked away with their cheeks turning red, while some smiled at him. He smiled back to whoever smiled at him.

Realising he should probably greet the trainees next him, he turned towards the blond guy. "Hello, I am Sky". The guy turned to him as he introduced himself. What the two of them didn't expect was how their faces were.

It was like the time had stopped while the both of them looked into eachother's eyes totally forgetting about the world around them. They snapped back to reality when a voice spoke up,"Ricky!".

"Oh uhm yeah?" The blond guy which you now know as Ricky replied still in slight daze. "Well, you see when someone introduces themself you should introduce yourself too. Not stare at them like you are in love" As the guy spoke nonchalantly with a hint jealousy, both of them felt their face getting red.

"Anyways, I am Zhang hao. It's nice to meet you" Introduced the guy with a charming smile. "It's nice to meet you too, hyung. I am Sky" he replied with a smile.

"And I am Ricky" the blond guy interrupted. Before Yichen could say anything, the trainees gasped loudly as if their fish died.

Shifting his gaze towards the front, his eyes widened. There stood Pentagon's leader himself, HUI. Out of respect all the trainees stood up from their seats.

At that moment all the trainees had only one thought in their mind.

If he's a trainee then I am doomed.
