"Finally! Silence in my apartment!" I laid down on my bed. "No one bothering me, no interruptio--"


"KATE!" Madeleine yells at the door. "Open your door, now!"

"Aughh.. what is it now.." I groaned, as I head for the door. I opened it and I see Madeleine holding a bag of clothes.

"You and I are going to Starship today!" She smiles. I gave her the oh-my-goodness-when-can-i-take-a-break-have-mercy' look and she pouts at me.

"Don't you want to see what I do in my job?"

"..Fine."

I wore the clothes Madeleine-unnie gave me-- a grey hoodie and a black leggings.

We arrived at Madeleine-unnie's agency and I see Hyung-min waiting at the entrance.

"Hyungmin-ah!" Madeleine waves at him. Hyung-min smiles back and bows at us. "We've been waiting for you! Come inside!"

Isn't Hyung-min supposed to be at Bighit at the moment? I thought. What is he doing here?

We entered the building and we entered the dance room, and we see three girls, around my age too.

"Let me introduce to you, Lee Ri-na who is 15, Park Jae-rin who is 14, and Jeon Jung-ma who is also 16." They bowed at me while I bowed gently at them. "Nice to meet you." I smiled.

They smiled at me, and then Hyung-min clasps his hands together. "Okay~ Shall we start?" He said. "Start what..?" I asked, but Hyung-min ignored me. I took a second look at the three girls.. they look like trainees.. WAIT.

"W-wait--" I said. "We shall start our first day of training!" Madeleine smiles.

"and.. STAND!" Madeleine's smile faded and seriousness filled her whole face.  This is a totally different kind of unnie that I used to know. Jung-ma, Ri-na, and Jae-rin stood up like soldiers, head up, and body straight. I scooted to Madeleine's area and she smiles at me. "This isn't really my official job, I'm a manager AND trainer here in Starship."

"What did you guys eat for breakfast?"

"Lettuce and crackers, ma'am!" They answered.

"What time did you wake up?"

"6:50am, ma'am!"

"Do you remember what not to do before 7pm?"

"Don't eat ramen, don't drink water before 7pm, ma'am!"

This training looks like military camp.. I thought.

"Good, did you guys prepare your presentation for today?" Madeleine asks.

"Yes ma'am." Jung-ma answered.

"Good, let the first four boys perform first," Madeleine said, as Hyung-min opens the door with four male teens enter the dance room.

I sat down on the long table with Hyung-min and Madeleine, while Ri-na and the others sat on the side, waiting for their turn to perform. But for now it was time for the four guys first.

The four guys line up in a line and they introduced themselves. Hyung-min hands me papers of their profiles, and as they introduced themselves.

"Annyeonghaseyo! Kim Ki-hyun ibnida!" 17 years old, from Seongnam.

"Annyeonghaseyo! Minatozaki Rou ibnida!" 16 years old, from Osaka, Japan.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Choi Hyun-raem ibnida!" 18 years old, from Jeonju.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Song Jeong-han ibnida!" 15 years old, from Seoul.

They are really attractive teens! I bet they're surely going to debut soon! I sat back on my chair and I watched as they get ready to perform.

The music starts and they start to dance. The music did not have a specific name, I couldn't recognize what song it was sung by. But the beat was really hip-hop-like and very snappy. They moved really good! Not a single mistake was made.

The music ended shortly and Madeleine looked at them seriously. "Hyunraem-shi." She said sternly. "Ne." Hyun-raem said nervously.

"You weren't moving your body enough. Do you think you'd be showing that stiff body when you're live on stage?" Madeleine scolded him. "U-unnie," I whispered, but I was stopped by Hyung-min.

"You shouldn't show any emotions when you're judging." He whispered. "Madeleine is testing their mental and physical emotions when it comes to training." He explained. I nodded and continued to listen.

"If you really want this career, you should try your hardest. No resting til you accomplish everything that is assigned." Madeleine sternly said, making Hyun-raem get all teary.

"Algesseumnida. (Understood.)" Hyun-raem said, while wiping off his tears.

"Overall, you did good. You all did. Just a little bit more practice and exercise and you'll make it" Madeleine smiles. The four teens bowed and went to the side to sit down. Rou and the others comfort Hyun-raem as they wait for the girl's turn.
