CHAPTER | 001
"YOU want to do what!?!" you raised your voice at brother-in-law. "i know you're here to spend time with your sister but i really need this favor" he said getting down on his knees. your brother-in-law, jihoon is a well known producer in the kpop industry. he is currently working on one of those survival shows where only a certain numbers of trainees will debut in a group. everything was going well for him until he found out that one of the trainees got into a accident and is in a coma. his company has already stated at there 24 trainees. they also stated that there are 10 foreigners in the program. and the girl happened to be one. so your brother-in-law is asking you to replace the girl. "can't you just say that the girl cancel last minute and that there will be now 23?" you asked.
"i can't now. it starts tomorrow" jihoon said. "i can't speak korean well!" you said. "you're not the only foreigner. you will be fine. you have to pretend that you want to be there. you don't have to win the contest. you will eventually get eliminated and you can go back to spending time with your sis. i promise this won't be long" he said. "but i'm nineteen? don't the company have want trainees that are younger" you asked. "no. they want older trainees, you are safe" jihoon said. "i know you can sing and dance well. you will be fine. i heard you sing before. in return, i will pay you 40 an hour" he said. "do you promise?" you raised your eyebrow. "i do. so will you do it?" he asked and you nodded. jihoon smiles brightly and shouts. "thank you! thank you! thank you! you're a life saver!" he said as he hugs you tightly. "good luck explaining it to my sister now" you said as she walks into the room. "explain me what?" she asked as her husband lets you go.

arriving at the location where you would be staying for god knows how long, you saw the other trainees. you were told by jihoon that each girl has prepared a performance for today and based on that, the judges will decide what rank you are. you saw many cameras pointed at the girls. one of the foreign trainees walked up to you with a smile. "hi, i'm mikasa. what's your name?" she asked with a smile. "(y/n)" you replied. "where are you from? im from japan" she said. "from the states" you replied. "really? wow! you and nabi are the only ones from the states" mikasa said. "nabi?" you asked. "you see that girl with the designer clothes? that's nabi. she's well known on social media. she's an amazing singer. i'm a fan of hers. i can't believe we're going to be trainees together" mikasa said. you looked at this nabi and you could tell she's not going to corporate well. suddenly you heard a loud voice.
WELCOME TO DREAM-LAND. CONGRATS ON MAKING TO THE LAND WHERE YOUR DREAMS WILL COME TRUE. ALL TRAINEES PLEASE HEAD TO THE DORM WHERE YOU WILL BE LIVING. ALL OUTSIDE COMMUNICATION IS NOT ALLOWED HOWEVER IT CAN BE GAIN IF YOU WIN MISSIONS. ALL TRAINEES HAVE UNTIL 8 PM TO PRACTICE BEFORE THE FIRST EVACUATION BEGINS. BEST OF LUCK DREAMERS.
"let's go, (y/n)" mikasa grabs your hand and drags you into the building. your eyes widened when you saw how big and fancy the building is. you can't believe how much money jihoon wasted for this project. you along with the other trainees headed towards the bedrooms. you walked into one of the rooms with mikasa to see three other girls. "hi! i'm mikasa and this is (y/n). what's your names?" she asked. "i'm mi-cha" the girl with short red hair said. "the name is mei" the girl with long blonde hair said. "min-sun" the girl with bangs said. "are you ready for our first evaluation?" mi-cha asked. "i am. my korean isn't that well" mei confessed. "don't worry, mei. me and (y/n) are also foreigners. i bet the others are scared too" mikasa said. "you will be fine. don't overthink it" min-sun smiled. you walked over to an empty bed and placed your bags down.
you began to unpack your belongings while the other trainees started to talk about themselves. you promised your brother-in-law that you will try to make it to the three round. a few hours later, you heard your name be called. WILL (Y/N) PLEASE HEAD TO INTERVIEW ROOM. you got up and your roommates wish you luck. you headed to the room to see just staffs, cameras and a chair. you took a seat and looked at the camera. a staff walked behind the camera with a tablet that read: introduce yourself. "hello. my name is (l/n) (y/n) and i'm from New York" you smiled. the tablet now read: when did you decide to be an idol? "when i saw twelve, i started to listen to kpop. the group that introduced me was BTS. i used to be in choir back in high school. i love to sing and dance for people which is why i decided to become an idol" you explained. the tablet: what do you think about the other trainees? "i haven't met all of them yet but i befriended mikasa, mei, mi-cha and min-sun. they all are wonderful girls. i excited to see what everyone has prepared for the first evaluation" you said. the tablet: what song will you be performing? "that's a secret" you winked. they kept on asking you more questions and you answered them to the best of your abilities. some of them were lies that jihoon prepared you for.
once the interview was over, you walked out and headed back to the room yet you bumped into someone. "my apologies" you said. "of course you have to apologies, it's your fault that my makeup got ruined" the trainee said. you were right about nabi. she was one of those girls. "ugh. i can't believe i have to live in this place. they already are going to debut me so why have me even here" nabi rolled her eyes as she walked away. you couldn't believe this is how true persona. you're pissed that there are no cameras here to film that. you walked back onto the room and saw no one there. "i guess they went to practice. oh well. i just i can take a shower and finish unpacking" you said.
