It was after the audition. Everyone was waiting in the waiting room for the results. 

Jonghyun scooted over to where Minki and Minhyun were sitting.

"How do you think you did?" Jonghyun asked.

"I think I did alright.." Minki said...trying not to barf.

Minhyun just sat there, his face a pale shade of green.

"Yo Minhyun, you all right?" Jonghyun asked.

"He's just nervous.." Minki quickly said. 

Jonghyun just looked at the two nauceous guys next to him and scooted a few inches away.

"Weaklings." Jonghyun said.

Minki just glared at him.

The man who announced the results came out of the auditions room. Everyone leaned forward expectantly. He looked around and smirked at Minhyun, who was still a bit green.

"Good job everyone. Some of you performed to the standard of a star, some of you even more, and some of you...not so much. If I call your name, go into the auditions room. The people who have made it are...Kang Dongho."  

A guy with a buzz cut and a ton of stars ingraved in them jumped up, screamed some sort of war cry and ran into the room.

Awkward silence....

"Uh...Kim Jonghyun..." 

Jonghyun quietly pumped his fist into the air and walked cooly into the room.

"Kwak Aaron" 

A guy with double studs in his ears just stared at the floor, looked up, and cockily walked into the room.

There were two spots left. People were praying and on their knees while others just hopefully looked up at the man.

"Hwang Minhyun" 

"Whoooo!!! Yeahhh!!! Beat that losers!!! Mwauhhaosdjf--uhhh...don't feel so well," Minhyun said as he turned green right after his return to a normal skin shade. Then he stumbled into the audition room.

*One more...one more!!! Please be me please be me please be me!!!* Everyone started to think.

"Choi Minki." 

*I made it...I MADE IT!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGGOMO! I MADE IT!!!* Minki blinked. She got up, and dazedly walked into the auditions room. 

______________________________________

The auditions room was transformed...ok...maybe not that much. They added a huge table in the middle of the room and everyone was sitting there staring at her.

*Whoa..It looks kind of gloomy....* Minki thought as she took a seat. 

There was only one man at the table. He wore the nerdy glasses, a cap, t-shirts, and black jeans.

"Hey there! Hurry on in! I'm the CEO of Pledis Entertainment. Han Sung Soo. Pleased to meet you all. Now. Let's get to business," he said with a smile that said business, but it was also warm. It basically said, "As long as you do well and try your best, I'll be back here, helping out." 

He took out a packet of forms for each person. 

"The rules are in here, and the contract. Read carefully. When you sign it, there's no backing out. You need your parents signature also, so bring the packet home and make sure to talk over it carefully. We wouldn't appreciate it if you came back four years later with a lawsuit against us because you couldn't break the contract."

Everyone looked warily at their packets.

"So you all will be in a group. We've decided to call it NU'EST. It means New Established Style and Tempo. Pretty cool right?..but right now you all are just trainees. Work hard and earn you titles! Hwaiting!" He said with a content smile.

*What's this old geezer trying to say?* Jonghyun thought.

The others just stared at the old man.

*Hmm...it's actually a pretty nice name....if you forget about the elongated part.* Minhyun thought.

*Meh-* Minki thought.

"So let's introduce ourselves so we know each other well! Don't forget that your face will be full of these people for who knows how long! Say your name, age, and a fun fact." He said, motioning for the guy next to him to start. 

The guy had on a face which said, what the heck is this...I can't believe we're doing this..," I'm Aaron Kwak and I'm 18 years old. I moved here from America in middle school(I don't really know if he's from America...but his name is definitely not korean)."

*Psh. That makes sense. His attitude says it all.* MinKi thought.

"I'm Kim Jonghyun and I'm 16 years old. I have the same name as Kim Jonghyun from Shinee!!!! (oh dude...that's taboo. Shinee's not allowed to enter someone else's fanfic...oh well :P -LOLxbox)" Jonghyun said.

"I'm Kang Dong Ho and I'm 16 years old. I like to make cake pops," Dongho said with a big smile.

*Is this guy a man?* Minki and Minhyun both thought.

"I'm Hwang Minhyun. I'm 16. I'm a bit green right now," Minhyun said. *Wow ...that was random....* he thought.

"I'm Choi Minki. I'm 16, too, and I have four brothers." Minki finished off.  

"OK! So! Meet back here tomorrow to say if you have talked about the contract. See you!" the CEO said.

Everyone got up and started to leave.

"Wait, Choi Minki. Can you stay a bit?" Mr. Han asked.

"Yes sir. " Minki bowed slightly and walked back. Minhyun looked at him questionably.

Minki just strugged and went back into the room.

No one was in the room, except for the two of them. 

"Close the door behind you," Mr. Han motioned.

Minki went back, closed the door, and took a seat.

"So...did you think we wouldn't fail to notice you were a girl in a guy's audition?" Mr. Han asked.

Minki just stared at him.

"W-WHAT?!?!"
