Jimin's POV
(still in flashback)

Opening the door, I was greeted by an empty room with a few boxes in the corner.

I sigh. I guess there's nothing I can do.

"What are you looking for young man?"

I almost scream. I snapped my neck around so fast, I thought I broke it.

After realizing who the stranger was, I bowed so deep my spine cracked.

"Oh Mr.....What are you doing here?" I ask, clearly forgetting about the reason I came here, as well as his name.

"I came to pick up the rest of my stuff from the event room. What are you doing here?"

"Oh! I came to ask you to reconsider letting me join Bangtan. Please, please let me audition again! I really, really want to be part of this group." I bow in a perfect 90 degree angle, my hands clasped together.

'Please say yes, please say yes.' I pray in my mind.

"I guess, I've got some time. Show me why you deserve to be part of my group. You got two minutes, kid."

I don't know what came over me.
The words just flowed out of my mouth, my body moved on its own.

I don't even remember what I was singing! My arms and legs flowed in sharp yet smooth movements, making sure to make use of all parts of the given stage.  All I know is that my feelings were conveyed, because he was looked pretty convinced by the end.

"Please take me into consideration!" I bowed a third time.

"Alright kid. Come to Seoul and train for a bit, and we'll see." He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck in an elderly fashion.

I grinned. Although it's not completely decided that I'll be a member, I couldn't have been happier.

-two months later-

I never did tell Taehyung about the experience with the producer.

I just told him I got accepted through email.

But we're on our way to Seoul right now. Man, you should've seen our mothers cry!

Seoul here we come!

.

"Ahhh, I'm so tired." Yawned Taehyung, picking up our schedules.
'It did feel like a long plane trip.' I thought to myself, imaging what it would've been like if we had taken the train to Seoul.

"Wake up at 8 am everyday and go to school.
First period is math/science, second is Korean/English, and third is Vocals.
Then Lunch at 11:30
After that we practice dance.
Dinner at 5:30.
Then we practice performing (putting all the training together) until 8:30. Then we bathe or clean up. 10:30 is lights out."
I read off the paper.

'It seems pretty hard right now, but I'm sure I'll warm up to in soon.' I thought, reassuring myself.

"Let's go find our dorms" I whisper to Tae.

"What room are you?" He replies.

"197" I respond.

His expression saddens.

"274, one floor up" he frowns. Zoning out.

"Hey, it's not like well never see each other again! Hopefully we're in the same class, and we'll see each other everyday!" I slap his back, trying to cheer him up.

He smiles sadly and walks away.
Just like a puppy that was left out in the rain.

"Room 197... It says here, my roommate is supposed to be.. Jeon Jungkook? I wonder what kind of guy he is." I mumbled to myself as I walked down the corridor, hauling my bag over my shoulder.
