Behind The Scenes (BTS FANFIC)

1: Perfect Opportunity

BAILEY POV

"Why! Why would you do this to me?! How could you?!" I screamed as tears fell down my face. "I trusted you... I trusted you!"

"Stop. Thank you." The audition judge said. He scribbled something on his clip board as I quickly wiped my tears and re-positioned myself on the X on the floor where I was told to stand.

I was pleased with myself. I have been practicing this script for weeks now, trying to get into CAM University, the best acting school in the country.

I have been wanting to be an actress for as long as I can remember. This is now my third time auditioning for a performing arts school, and it is the tenth audition in my life.

Every time I get butterflies in my stomach, and every time I get disappointed, but this time, I think I did very well.

I continued to stare at the judge who only kept his eyes on his clipboard. After what seemed like forever, he looked up to me, held up a green card, and told his assistant to escort me to the other room.

My heart raced out of my chest. Did I... make it?

I followed his assistant into the other room. There was no one else there. Did no one else make it?

"Please stand on the X" The woman said. I did as I was told. A camera was set in front of me, so she went behind the camera.

"Look into the camera." She said. I did so.

"Smile." I smiled.

"Turn 90 degrees." She said. I turned. We did that until she saw every angle of my body. Then, she turned off the camera, and walked towards me.

Then finally, FINALLY, I got a small smile from her.

"Congratulations Park Bailey. Welcome to CAM University." She said. At those words, my heart stopped. A huge grin spread from ear to ear on my face and I nearly jumped.

"Thank you, thank you so much." I said. She nodded and handed me a packet.

"You will be a part of the acting department. Here is a script you need to memorize. It is a standard script that every new student must know. It will be the first scene you will be evaluated on, and if you're good enough, you may just get our first acting gig. Even if it's small, appreciate it. You can only go up from there." She said. I nodded, understanding her words.

"Good. Move in to Dormitory C by tomorrow. You will share  room 222 with three other girls. Any questions?" She asked. I shook my head.

"You can go now." She said. I bowed my 90 degree bow and scurried off. It seems like my brain and body are functioning at different rates. I can't process life or what to say or do. I can't believe I actually made it into the best acting school in Korea.

I ran home, excitement running through my veins. When I got home, I bursted through the doors and screamed,

"I MADE IT INTO CAM UNIVERSITY!"

But, of course, no one was home to respond. My parents, although they claimed to love me, sent me off to live with my older sister when I explained to them that I wanted to be an actress. In their words exactly, they said acting is "a good hobby, but not a career you could succeed in". My sister is just a few years older than me. She attends Seoul University and shares an apartment with six other girls, all of which treat me horribly as if I'm their slave. My sister loves me. She's like my best friend but... she isn't around a lot. She's a medical major so she's always either studying or partying. I don't blame her though, she deserves to live the best college experience.

All I have is a room the size of a bathroom to lock myself into. Every night I prayed to be able to move out, and now I have the perfect opportunity. The opportunity to start my own life.

I ran to my room and began packing my belongings. It didn't take long to finish because as I just shared, I have a very small room, meaning that I have very little belongings.

I was done packing by dinner time, and when time came to sleep, I couldn't relax my brain enough to drift off to dreamland. Thousands of curious thoughts roamed my mind, seeking to find answers on how my new life will be starting from tomorrow.

Will I meet new friends? Will there be cute boys? Will I get casted in a lot of films... or maybe even a MOVIE?!

I squirmed around in my bed, counting the seconds with the ticking of my clock, dreading how impossibly slow they were passing.

And at one point, somehow, I counted to two thousand seconds, and drifted off to sleep.
