Book 2 : BTS 👀, Skz🥰, Ateez✨

Idol 1.1 From America to Seoul (Oneshot)

Melody: Marina

Marina: I'm really sick. I promise.

I sighed. Marina was my best friend since I came to America. I was only a jewelry maker here, working for a big firm hours after hours. Marina was a daddy's girl, having money and a lot of it. I sighed looking at my laptop and the popcorn I had just finished cooking. Marina had gotten a 'hobby' as a makeup artist. 

While she was just enjoying putting makeup on herself, she wasn't enjoying putting it on other. On the other hand, I truly appreciated doing people's makeup. Thus, it happened several times by now that she handed over to me her job whenever I had a day off. I could get the money, but on the other hand I had to use her name.

Marina: Come on (cough, cough, cough)

I sighed again closing my laptop. Simon her driver was already at my door with all her makeup material which I advised by the way. It was my week off and she had already done this twice this week. Sick, headache, name it.

"Morning Simon." I greeted

"I'm really sorry about Miss." He bowed

He had been her driver since she was a little girl and I had seen him multiple times. He was a kind old man who had way too much respect for someone that openly skipped her job to flirt around. I changed into an appropriate outfit.

"Where are we going?" I asked adjusting the light grey blazer on my side

"A venue. Some urgent job, several makeup artist were requested." He chanted "You'll probably know no one since Miss never takes group jobs."

"Nice." I whispered a bit annoyed

The building was huge. It was a studio. I had done makeup there before instead of Marina. Stepping inside and showing Marina's badge, I recognized that they were many Korean people. I laughed to myself thinking 'What if BTS is there'. However, when I recognized Seijin from far, my smile dropped.

"Are you Marina?" a girl nudged me

I took a second to focus on what she said.

"Yeah." I whispered

"Nice to meet you, I'm Mini." She greeted

I recognized the girl's profile from the makeup agency. She was famous in the city for always getting top stars makeup contract. I didn't know how it was possible that she never stayed there for long. I awkwardly listened to her speaking about how annoying it was to be summoned here suddenly. However, the pay was nice... In my head, I was screaming. 

My favorite K-pop group was here. 

Really here. Or maybe it was TXT, or maybe another group. I had been a fan since the very beginning. Listening to their songs actually helped me a lot. I learned Korean through private lesson and while watching their reality show. I remembered how happy I was when 'In the soop' came out. I was about to watch that at home now that I think about it.

"Makeup artist, this way please!" Seijin called in a broken English

None of the girls reacted and I was just awed as we stepped inside the changing room. And they were here. I had to hold myself back from screaming and from fangirling around really hard.

"Whoa they all look superficial."

I froze slightly as I forced myself to not turn my head towards Hoseok. I least expected him to say that to be honest. Speaking Korean fluently, would quietly be kept a secret, I thought to myself. What they show on their reality show and here seemed to be way different.

"Don't be mean Hoseok." RM scolded

I kept my eyes on Seijin as Hoseok scoffed and turned to focus on his phone.
