Yoo Ra's POV
"Well then, Miss Park Yoo Ra. You've been accepted. Welcome to the team."
Wait.
What did I just hear?!
"I-I'm accepted?" I asked, pointing to myself.
"Yes Miss Park Yoo Ra," PD-nim smirked. It took me a moment or two until I could finally come to my senses.
"Jinja?! Gomawoyo PD-nim! I won't let you down!" I thanked, bowing profusely at the panel of judges. I could not believe it, I was actually accepted?! I was hopping around as I could not control myself, when suddenly, the door opened.
"PD-nim, Bangtan Sonyeondan wishes to meet you as they have just returned from their concert," the same woman from the desk said politely.
"Ah! What a perfect timing! Come Yoo Ra-sshi, let me introduce you to Bangtan Sonyeondan. I'm sure you know who they are right?" PD-nim said as he stood up and walked towards me.
"N-Ne?" I was going to meet... Bangtan Sonyeondan?!?!?! "Are you saying that you're going to introduce me to the Bangtan Boys?"
"Yes.. Is there a problem?" PD-nim asked curiously.
"N-No! It's just that, I'm a really hardcore army and it feels like a dream come true!" I squealed as I could not contain my excitement.
PD-nim laughed. "All right, then. Let's go meet your idols," he teased.
We went out of the room and I followed closely behind him, my heart palpitating rapidly in my ribcage. This is probably the best day of my life! Not only did I get accepted, but I'm also on my way to meet my ultimate babies, Bangtan Sonyeondan?!?!
Just then, I saw a group of seven youths walking towards us, each of them having wide smiles spread on their faces.
"Am I... dreaming?" I whispered to myself, as I inched closer and closer towards them. They were BTS, alright! They looked even better in person!
"PD-nim!" they all rushed towards him and gave him a big hug.
"Aigoo, stop being so childish," PD-nim teased as he let out a laugh. Once they ended the warm hug, PD-nim gestured me to come forward and I did so almost immediately. With each second that passed, I was getting more convinced that I would have a heart attack.
"Bangtan Sonyeondan, let me introduce to you Miss Park Yoo Ra. She auditioned today, and so far she is the only candidate who's been accepted into this year's recruitment. She already knows you though, she's a big fan of yours," PD-nim chuckled. All the members laughed as well as I felt my face getting flushed.
"Aigoo, she's blushing... Kyeopta!" Jimin said, giving me another attack as he showed his iconic smile to me.
"Jimin, where's your jams?" Nam Joon said as he lightly pushed him, causing everyone to burst out in laughter.
"Chukahae! We can't wait to work with you in the future," Jin said as he extended his hand to me. I felt my face getting redder and redder as I shook his hand.
"We definitely hope that you're excited to join such a fantastic company!" J-hope smiled brightly.
"Omg, hobi, what are you doing here again?" Suga glanced at him and said sarcastically.
"If you need anything, feel free to approach us! We're your hyungs after all!" Taehyung said while putting his arm on my shoulder.
"Kamsahamida, Taehyung-sshi," I said as my heart fluttered once again.
"Aigoo, you don't need to be so formal! Just call me Taehyung oppa," he said as he gave me a small wink.
I chuckled as I felt my hands starting to get sweaty.
"Jungkook, don't you have anything to say?" Jin asked. "He's a quiet boy, you see," Jin whispered to me.
"Uhm, I hope we have a good time taking care of each other in the future... Chukahae! Hope to see you soon," Jungkook said. My heart could not stop fluttering as I looked into his eyes. Those eyes, they were so beautiful, so heartwarming, so comforting...
"Gomawo," I managed to say, as I immediately looked away as I did not want to be more embarrassed.
-
"Eomma!" I shouted as I walked into the house of my parents.
"How did it go, sweetie?" mom said as she rushed out of the kitchen.
"I got...accepted!" I squealed as I began hopping around once again. "And I even got to meet Bangtan Sonyeondan!"
"Wah jinja?! Chukahae!" Eomma said as she clapped her hands together and gave me a tight hug. I was honestly so happy - I got to meet my idols, and more importantly, I finally got a chance to achieve my dreams and spread my wings in the vast, cloudless sky.
"Eomma, I'm kinda tired from all the anxiety I experienced today. Let me take a break," I said as she smiled at me. I went upstairs to the room I had occupied before I moved out and lay flat on the bed. I looked up to the dreamcatcher I had hung from the ceiling and sighed out of happiness. "You did it, Yoo Ra," I said to myself.
I wanted to take a rest and shut my eyes. However, an image of those eyes I had seen earlier on popped up in my head. I opened my eyes again and the image still stuck in my head.
"What is wrong with me?" I wondered aloud as I scratched my head.
But I knew perfectly well that there was nothing wrong with me. That pair of eyes that belonged to Jungkook - I hadn't recognised them or found any familiarity in them in the pictures of him online, but once I got to see them in person, I was somewhat taken aback. Those eyes, I've seen them before. Not just those eyes that you see on the street everyday, or on posters or television. Those eyes were ones that I remembered for a long time now, and I was sure of it. They were comforting. They were sweet. They were...
Different.
