Sungjae's P.O.V

Our dance practice had just ended. I'm totally exhausted. Looking through my reflection over the glass pane, I could see my hairs sticking over my forehead, wet and messy. I pull all my hair backwards and put on my hood. 

They said everyday is a new journey - a new chapter of your life, but I personally think that everyday is just the same, lame routine. At least that is how it works for me.

Like any other day, here I stand in between this crowd - waiting for that blue bus to fetch me home. Urghhh... I hope the bus will come sooner. I hate being drown in the midst of the crowd. It's suffocating. 

It's getting hotter in here, too.

If you're wondering who am I, let me introduce you about myself. My name is Yook Sungjae, a trainee of Cube Entertainment. I'm 16. Still young, right?

Being a singer is not one of my first dream. I was thinking of becoming a swimmer when I was still a kid. I can swim well, I believe so. It was at the early age of 10 when our family moved to Seoul - Mum and Dad were financially stable enough to support our lives in the city. Since then, my dream changed. How does Seoul have to do with my dream?

This is how it goes.

My family and I are enjoying the leftover of our summer holiday in one of the biggest amusement park in this city when we saw a lot of people gathering in the open area of the park.

Out of curiosity, we decided to put our nose through the crowd and join the group of excited people. To my surprised, the hottest KPOP idol - SUPER JUNIOR , are performing there. I remember getting immersed while watching their performance. From their harmonize vocals to their perfectly matching dance step...wow!! It's just perfect.

When I finally announce to Mum and Dad that I wanted to be a singer, they accept my words open-heartedly. I start attending my vocal training in a private class by the end of the same month. I'm so thankful to God for having such a supportive parents.

So, just to sum up a bit before this get too lenghty, I passed my first audition with ease  and here I stand proudly as one of the blue box trainee. By that, it means I'm one step closer to my dream...woohoo!!

From afar, the rough sound of the old engined bus could be heard. When it stop directly in front of me, I quickly hop on - not before passing through the huge crowd with much hardship.

There aren't a lot of passengers on board since the bus is heading towards a what so call the 'elite metropolitan' by the public. I'm not sure what is so elegant about my neighbourhood but if it do goods to me, i should not bother. Simple.

I took my sit on the front-most row, unbothered to look further back. As mentioned, I'm too tired.

Upon sitted, I took out my headphone and listened to some music - slowly drowning into it. A few moments later, my lids grow heavier. Without further ado, I dozed off to dreamland.

Nara P.O.V

The bus is here. I slowly walk up the stairs - not before my little body suffers from push and pull by the crowd. I swipe my card on the scanner and start searching for an available sit. Before I manage to find one, the bus started to move.

'What the-! ' I lost my balance. The gravity pull me down with a little force before my body fall onto something - it's warm.

I tried to stand up but my body is not recovering so fast. It took me awhile to come back to my sense.

Again, with more strength this time, I pushed myself up.

When I felt someone held me by my arm while I'm trying to stabilize myself, my body when frozen. I found myself holding my breathe. Who could it be??
