Gateway to a New Life: BigHit's Girl Group

Becoming Well-Known

Seol-jin's POV:
I just can't wait to be famous! That is, if we do become famous. I will have proven Eomma and Appa wrong. Hye-jin, Wooseok, Hae-won and Jaehyung will always be on my side.  We will have so many supporters. I probably won't be the most famous member, though. Probably not. I don't know, though.

"Seol-jin," Cheol-min says. "Yeah?" I ask. "Have you seen how many followers Mystical Dream has on Instagram?" he asks me. "I haven't," I say. "Check for yourself," he tells me. I open up Instagram to see that we have...350k followers?!?!

Wow! This is amazing! I know it's not too much, but this is a good start for us. Even if we had only one fan, I would be thankful. I can't believe this! I'm so amazed!!!

I'm speechless. "Shocked?" Cheol-min asks me. "Yeah," I reply. "Do you want to see how many followers I have?" Cheol-min asks. "Sure," I say. I discover that Cheol-min has 1.1 million followers!

"That's amazing, Cheol-min!" I exclaim.  "You're not following my Instagram," I say.  "Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" I exclaim.  "I'm gonna follow you right now!"  "Hahahahaha, you're so cute," Cheol-min tells me.  I follow him on my personal, thank goodness it's a private account.  I don't accept follow requests if I don't know someone.  Only if I know them will I accept their request.

The others come downstairs rather quickly.  They must have found out!  "Oh.  My.  God!" Eun-Kyung exclaims.  "We have 350k followers on Instagram!"  "Haha, you're joking," Jinhee says.  "I'm not," Eun-Kyung says.  "Eun, stop with your elaborate pranks," Chiaki says.  "It's not an elaborate prank," I state.  "Seol-jin, please don't tell me that you're in on this prank, too," Malee says.  "It's not a prank," I say.  "Look at our Instagram to see."  They all open up Instagram and I can see the looks on their faces.

"Damn!" Malee exclaims. "Seol-jin is the most famous," Eun-Kyung says. Wait WHAT?!?! "Congrats, Seol-jin!" Chiaki exclaims. "You deserve it," Nari tells me. "You've been working so hard with all of us," Mi Sun says. "Does it feel good?" they ask me. "Y-yeah," I say. "I...I can't believe it!" "Honey, believe it," Jinhee says. "There's no denying that you're amazing. Anyone who doesn't think you are can suck it."  "Thanks, guys," I say.

"From what I saw, there are some fanpages dedicated to you guys," Cheol-min says.  "I saw one," Eun-Kyung says.  "I found 8," Cheol-min states.  "8?!?!" I exclaim.  "Really?!?!" "Yep!" Cheol-min exclaims.  "Wow!" I exclaim.

I'm surprised about this whole thing.  It will be a whole new experience for all of us.  We could go on tours, and have fansigns, and meet some fans. When we become more famous, I want to go to Billboard. That's probably not gonna happen, but I won't lose my hope.

I think that all of us have been desperate to be famous Kpop singers. Mi Sun, Eun-Kyung, Chiaki, Nari, Malee, Jinhee, and I. If we wouldn't have become singers, we would have lost hope. We wouldn't have become the people we are today. I never would have thought that I'd make it this far.  I'm so glad that I, I mean we, did.

Cheol-min's POV:
I'm so proud of the girls!  I knew they could do it! I just want to do something nice for them.  I could get them some food or take them to a spa or throw them a celebration. Ooh, I should throw a celebration! I can invite the boys and we'll eat Korean food and do karaoke. The girls can get a mani pedi and maybe a facial. There have to be massage chairs in this mansion somewhere!

30 minutes later...

While the girls are distracted while talking, I finally find a spa room.  Do they know about the spa room? Have they been in every room of this house? Because damn, this place has so many rooms.  How much did this place cost?!  Damn!
