RATED G (EXO)

Chapter 2

It was nerve wrecking to say the least. Ivy wasn't much of a dancer and singer so what was she supposed to do in that audition?

Ivy wasn't really even considering going to the audition since again in her perspective she had no talent whatsoever plus she didn't even understand a single word of Korean. How was she supposed to audition for a Korean group if she wasn't Korean or knew Korean? 

When both Sakura and Ivy parted ways to go back to their own countries, both of them made a pact that they'd always contact each other.

It's been two months already and there hasn't been a day when they wouldn't talk to each other. 

Apparently, Sakura is as she said, ceasing her dreams and is going to be famous. 

For the past two months, Sakura has been doing extensive training for the auditions that were going to be held in a few months.

"Ivy, dear god, do us all a favor and at least try." She screamed through their Skype conversation. 

Ivy merely shook her head. "I'm not as talented as you, Saku. I don't know what to do in the auditions."

Sakura frowned at her friend. Ivy was always like this. She might be a bubbly bright person but when it came to her abilities and trying to prove it, she would jump out of the way. 

Sakura was different. She wanted to prove herself. She wanted to be known for something and she would do anything in her power to do that. 

"Tell you what," Sakura started scrolling through YouTube looking for the video she was looking for. "Aha!" She cheered as she copied the link of the video and sent the video to Ivy. "Watch that." Sakura orders, crossing her arms around her chest.

Ivy obliges without another word clicking on the link. It was an audition video of her favorite Korean girl group, Girls Generation.

"Everyone has to start somewhere, Ivy." Sakura pointed out looking pleased that Ivy was starting to warm up to the topic.

Ivy clicks on another similar video with a more recent one which featured a group of girls dancing and singing. 

"Hi!" Greeted one of the girls when their dance number was done. "I'm Naomi and I'm an SM trainee!" She said looking bright and happy that she was as she said an SM trainee. 

The girl beside her smiled. "Hi, I'm Erin and I'm a SM trainee too!" She cheered. 

Naomi was focused again as she continues. "Global Auditions will soon be starting and we hope everyone tries their best!"

"Good luck and see you in practice room, future trainees!" Erin added, giving a wave.

It was in fact would be such a waste if she didn't at least try. Ivy did have nothing to lose. She might even meet her idols if she auditions and what were the odds? 

Ivy rolled her eyes at the expectant looking Sakura and threw her arms up in the air. "Fine, whatever. Okay. Let's do this."

For weeks Ivy would search through audition videos and see how they did it and what she could do but she still had nothing.

The auditions were getting closer and closer that she found herself being incredibly nervous. Sakura had already perfected her dance steps by this time and by the looks of it on twitter, everyone else that was auditioning was done.

The plan was for Ivy to travel to Japan to go to Sakura so both of them could audition together. Thank the heavens for free plane tickets. 

It was only about a week away from the global auditions and still she had nothing to show. Thankfully, Sakura didn't comment much on this saying that Ivy would pull through eventually.
