The moment Lisa entered Gwangjeon she was sure that she was not yet given a ranking due some circumstances of being a transfer student. A normal transfer student would be expected to start from a 1 star student and eventually rank herself from the set of skills she will show at each class she will go through. It was the first time in History; even for Lisa, to have the highest ranking status in Gwangjeon despite being a transfer student.
"wah. Lizzie, you totally earned my awe." Rosé said as she was as baffled as Lisa.
The four students followed their professor out of the classroom as they were ranked elite-class. Each class will be put to a different classroom to monitor the development of a certain trainee. Just like how the low-class are, they will be placed at the right part of the building and the high-class will be placed at the left side. Each class are separated but for the Elite-class; they will be placed to a special room where it will become as their practice room to debut in the field they were given.
"The Dean is waiting for you" the professor said as she opened the entrance door to the room of the dean; where all the future idols fate are decided.
The four immediately entered as they seat at the 4 set of chairs in the lobby. The room was in a total silence until Kim Jisoo breaks it. "Why did the four of us got called? Maybe they decided to group us into a group artist" Jisoo's assumption made Jennie clutched her hands as she threw a glare at Jisoo and said "I won't let that happen. I came to this school to be a Solo artist not to be in a group" Jennie uttered coldly when Rosé steps up in the conversation "If somoene is going to go Solo in the four of us, It will definitely be Lalisa" Rosé's assumption made Jennie momentarily surprised as she glanced at Lisa but it was immediately replaced by a cold stare. "She sets the record at Gwangjeon to have a 3 star ranking as a transfer student" Rosé said. Lisa who was just silently sitting suddenly feel the heavy pressure by the atmosphere of the three when the main door suddenly opened and the dean finally came out of his habitant.
The four girls immediately stand up as they give a respectful bow to their dean. The dean was pleased and motioned them to sit back down.
"I have here your badge. You are going to be officially an Elite-class" The four gasped but was instantly taken aback when the dean said "congratulations, you four will be united as a group artist"
Jennie who was not expecting this turn of events stood up from her seat as she asked the dean "Pardon me, sir. I came to this school with a full marks and perfected all the given lessons. May I ask why am I part of a group artist?" the dean chuckled as he looked up at Jennie who seems to be against the idea of being in a group.
"Because you all had something you need to learn by each of your members" the dean uttered. The dean's word only made Jennie more puzzled as she decided to give up her rant of questions and sits down.
After a set of instructions given by the dean, it finally went back to his office as the three girls already put on their badge except for Jennie who still seems to be hesitating to put on her badge; she knew that if she puts on this badge, she will debut as a group but not as a solo like she wants. But eventually, she managed to grabbed the badge and put it on his uniform "I will only put on this badge so I can be part of the Elite-class, It doesn't mean I acknowledged that we were part in the same group. When we debut, I'll show them that I'm better off as a Solo artist" Jennie said as she threw one final look at the three and proceeded to exit the Dean's quarter.
In the entertainment world debuting as a solo would only meant two things; all the attention of the fans and producers will be only directed at a certain idol and the other one is the bigger opportunities it will get.
But for Kim Jennie this wasn't her reason. Kim Jennie was born and raised in America, having Korean parents maintain her tradition and love for the korean people; and so as their culture. The most interesting part of her story is how her mother, Kim Jung Suh had a history in the country of Korea; in her mother's time, Korean pop culture arises as it gains the interest of many people not just in Korea but also the whole world. Having a celebrity mother sparks her interest in the field of music.
But after years of being in the entertainment, many people will always be biased towards a group artist, is what Jennie realized after her mother's group split up because of having an unbalanced opportunities in their work. Until the day her mother died without having the right recognition; The name Kim Jung Suh remained as a forgotten idol but not as a legend.
Kim Jennie who still haven't gotten over her mother's dark history swear to debut as a solo and rise up her name again.
"I need to debut as a solo" jennie muttered when a familiar voice momentarily surprised her.
It's her senior back at her school at america. "Oppa" she uttered silently trying not to show how bothered she is.
'Min Yoongi' aka Suga
"I've heard the news. You're finally an Elite" Suga excitedly said as his smile turned to confusion when he looked at the face of his dongsaeng.
"But I don't see the excited feeling in you." Suga noticed as Jennie looked up at suga who looked very worried towards her.
"Oppa, you're in a group artist, aren't you afraid of being outcasted?" Jennie asked her sunbae who is in a famous korean pop idol group BTS.
Suga chuckled as she lightly pat Jennie's head. "why would I be afraid? I entered this world because of my love and passion for music. Having fans who loved and support us was already a bonus from our hardwork" then there suga noticed what seems to be troubling Jennie.
"You're in a group aren't you?" Suga guessed.
"why would I ask that question if I wasn't?" Jennie smiled as suga continued to pat her head.
Yoongi aka Suga has always been Jennie's most respected senior. Despite Jennie's title in their school as 'cold princess' for Suga she is merely like a lost cat trying to find somoene to hold to and being take care of.
"thank you, Oppa"
