The Tales of a K-Pop Trainee (love story)

LINE ID's <Meeting EXO's Tao and Lay (The Tales of a K-Pop Trainee)

“Ugh. What a drag… It was Sunday morning and it is RAINING! How is there ANY possible way of us getting out of the cab without getting WET!? And getting wet means becoming UGLY.” I could only laugh at the words that were coming out of Nelly’s mouth as I stared at her distressed face. She cared too much about her image… I can see the SM Audition building out of my window and it looked BIG. I grinned as the taxi stopped and I rushed to safety before Nelly could even take the cash out of her bag. I stuck my tongue out at her as she came towards me in her designer high-heels, slowly and elegantly. She may be soaked but she still had style, that’s my Nelly. We entered the building and quickly checked in with the receptionist woman or whatever you call her, I received my number and sat down on a random seat, waiting for my number to be called. During the waiting time I got out “Looking for Alaska” by “John Green” and read a bit while listening to music. I was waiting for group H to get called and it didn’t take more than an hour and a half. I was in a group with nine others, three guys and six girls, one of the girls was really pretty! As we entered the room, we saw a small stage, there was a white taped square on it and behind it was a piece of black cloth. As we stood on the judge explained to us what to do. We were supposed to tell our name and age and what we were going to do, if we were a singer, actor or model you would go out into the taped square and do what you do best, if you were a dancer you had to wait until the others were done and then you had to freestyle to a random song.

I was seventh in line, right before me was the really pretty girl. It made me nervous when she said she was a singer, I felt a sudden loss of faith overwhelm me. She went out into the square and opened her mouth… Such a sound was truly erm… one of a kind. The screeching not only hurt humans but it hurt glass as well since the glass of water next to the judge broke. She was stopped in the first ten seconds of her singing. I bit my bottom lip, it was ironic really, she was so pretty, but she had no talent. I wanted to laugh but I wouldn’t dare, this was business, you had to be serious. I stepped up to the square as I composed myself, I sang “Lucky Strike’’ by “Maroon5”, it was always a song that made me happy and it made me smile while I was singing it. I had fun even if I was nervous. I bowed and went back to my spot.

“Soooo~ How’d it go?” Nelly asked, she was waiting for me at the exit. “It was okay.” I told her as we walked off to some nearby Café that she had found out about yesterday. It seemed quite busy when we entered it, however, so I quickly suggested we go someplace else. It was as if I was talking to the wall, If Nelly wanted someplace she would got there even if it’s the last thing she does. “I’m sorry madam, due to the fact that we are currently full the only option is for you to share a table with someone. We already asked two young men and they didn’t seem to mind, is that okay with you?” Nelly immediately nodded. We were led to a table at the corner of the Café, it was with a triangular couch and the two men we would be sharing with were both seated around the middle. There didn’t seem to be enough space for both of us to get on the same side so we had no choice but to split up. “We’re sorry to bother you, there just wasn’t enough space and someone really wanted to visit this place.” I explained to the two men as they nodded and went back to discussing something. Nelly ordered for both of us as usual so I did not have to worry about that. I was bored, I took out my phone and started checking out random videos on YouTube before I received an message on LINE. No-one at Bulgaria was awake at this time so it didn’t make sense. I read the ID and I chuckled lightly, The Wild and Sexy One. Now I wonder who that could be? I looked at the text. This is how our conversation went.

- Hello miss Bubble Tea, how’s my chocolate sweetheart doing right now?

- Jackson how do you know my LINE?

- I looked through your phone while you were ordering bubble tea. How’d auditions for SM go?

- Descent.

-Just that? Did you trip in the middle of dancing or something?

-I sing Jackson.

- Oh? Did you sing Gangam Style?

I grinned, he was such a dork. Did he seriously think I was going to sing that? I swear, that idiot…

- Bye Jackson

I wrote back and locked my phone before noticing that my meal has been served. Oh? A fruit salad. I put my phone on the table and started quietly eating the fresh fruits. Ah strawberries! All of a sudden a loud tune started playing from my phone. “Follow Me” by “GOT7” Someone was calling me. I reached for my phone in order to pick up and noticed everyone was staring at it. I blinked as I swallowed the awesome strawberries and looked at the phone. A picture of Jackson taking a selfie next to me while doing the duckface. Rolling my eyes at his idiocy and hilariousness I let the tune play on.

 “Aren’t you going to pick up miss?” One of the guys asked me, I looked at him as I took bite of my salad. He was wearing glasses and a hat so I couldn’t see his face. “Nah.” I answered and the tune stopped. “Isn’t Jackson gonna be mad?” The other asked me. I shook my head. “He has way to much energy and is quite clingy but he’ll talk to me and then disappear in a matter of seconds without giving a proper explanation.” The two men nodded. Nelly seemed to be engrossed with some files that she got out of her bag as she ate some cake. The other two guys were just finishing up their drinks, they were very quiet. “So what are your names?” I asked them, trying to strike up a conversation. They seemed hesitant for a moment.  “I’m Lay and this is Tao.” One of them told me quietly while the other one nodded. They couldn’t be could they? Right? “I’m Simona, It’s nice to meet you.” I smiled at them. I finished my fruit salad happily. Were they THOSE TAO and LAY ? Was it worth a try? Definitely. “So what are busy men like you doing in common Café?”  I asked casually. They looked at each other and then at me. Did I mistake them? Aish, I’m an Idiot. “Just having a break, training is getting harder since we have to record the video for our new album.” Tao answered, his English was quite good. I nodded. WAS THIS REALLY THEM?! The one who introduced himself as Lay took of his glasses. I could feel my eyes widen at the sight of him. Tao took his shades off aswell. CRAP! IT IS THEM! “What made you come to such a busy café?” He asked, clearly amused at my reaction towards them. “My friend really wanted to see this place since she heard it was popular.” I pointed to Nelly as I explained to them my situation. I was so surprised, they were HERE, they were talking to ME! OH MY GOD…

“I think you’re pretty.” I blinked as my entire face suddenly became the shade of a tomato. I looked at Tao in confusion and embarrassment. He blurted it out so suddenly, how was I supposed to react? “T-thank you.” I stuttered causing a small smile to form on both boys’ lips. They were looking at me, I couldn’t help it and my cheeks became even redder. “E-erm I find you b-both very handsome as well.” I told them and looked down at my lap. How embarrassing. I could hear them both chuckling. “Thank you princess, can we borrow your phone for a minute?” I nodded as I handed it to them. WHY WAS I SO SHY??? I looked up at them to see them typing their LINE ID’s on my phone. “ I auditioned for SM.” I told them causing them to lift their heads up from my phone screen. Tao laughed at me as If I had said something stupid. He pointed at my shirt. OOOOOH, I still had my audition number on it. How embarrassing. I felt Tao pat my head, as he handed me my phone. “Thank you.” I muttered. “We have to go now, we’re late!” I heard Lay announce. I got out of my seat to make way for them to get out. Tao went out first because he was next to me and put his glasses back on before anyone could notice it was him. He hugged me… My eyes went wide...IM ON EXO PLANET! Lay went out after him and gave me a small smile and a wink before putting his glasses on. He was so handsome… They left the shop and I sat back down on my seat.There was a short pause during which I could hear my beating heart. “So, EXO’s Tao and Lay eh? Aren’t you lucky?” Nelly asked me with a smirk as she lifted her head out of the papers. I looked down at my ID list on LINE, now two more contacts stood proudly between the rows of people, The Kung-Fu Panda and the Healing Unicorn.
