Audition Decisions and Gaming Buddies

Namjoon and Jin looked like they couldn't believe their eyes, but Jhope looked a mixture of extreme happiness and tiredness. He pushed Jimin to the side, and looked me in the eyes. "If you were up practicing that late, you need to audition to BigHit. You'll be an idol in no time with determination like yours." I didn't know what to say, so I stayed silent and shook my head from side to side. Jhope looked dumbstruck. "Why?" He asked. I shrugged. "I dunno. I just don't feel up to auditioning for something so large right now." I said. "Not to be rude or anything, please don't take this personally, but could you guys leave while I get dressed? I'll explain everything over breakfast." I added. Suga and RM left, closely followed by Jin and Taehyung. Jhope, with a last look of astonishment, then turned to leave as well. Jimin and Jungkook did not leave, but instead just sat on my bed, looking at me.

  Jungkook smiled as Jimin said, "So, I guess you're mini J-hope, aren't you?" I giggled. "Hmm... Both of your names start with J's, so I guess Jhope and Jenhope? Or would it be Jhope and Minihope?" He asked. I thought for a second, then answered, "I think Jenhope sounds better." They both laughed. I then said, "Could you guys please go? I really need to get dressed." They nodded and stood up, walked away, and closed the door behind them. I strode over to my closet and pulled out a teal shirt with the Puma logo, a white pair of skinny jeans, a white hat and a pair of light blue Vans. I put my clothes on and pulled on a light gray sweater as I headed into the kitchen for breakfast.

  Suga and Jimin looked up from their food as I entered the room. Yoongi smiled. "Glad you're up." He said. I returned the smile and sat between Jhope and Namjoon at the only open seat left. "Who's taking me to school today?" I asked curiously. Jin pointed at Yoongi, who smiled happily. I nodded and wolfed down my food as Suga stood up. He held out his hand, indicating for me to give him my empty plate, which I did happily. I grabbed my backpack and followed him out the door.

*Time skip*

  I sat in my chair at school, awaiting lunch. Lenny poked my left arm and I looked over at him. He pointed and I turned to see Zachary staring at me, who looked down at his book and acted like nothing had happened. I looked back at Lenny, who shrugged and went back to his work. Finally, Mrs. Grace announced lunch. I stood and bolted toward the door, as did everyone else. As we tried to get out of the door, someone knocked me over. I looked up to see Jae-eun, a look of worry on her face. "Sorry! I didn't mean to knock you over. I- are you hurt?" She asked. I stood. "I'm fine. It's okay. Thanks for making sure I was okay though." I said. She nodded and did not say another word. I noticed that her hair was not in a ponytail like the previous day. When we arrived at the cafeteria, she still did not say anything. We got our lunch and sat down at the table, where she still did not speak.

  When we finished our food and went out to recess, William walked over to her. She looked up and grabbed his Pikachu beanie, placing it on her own head. He did nothing to stop her. SooYoung came over to me. "I ship it!" She whispered, indicating the two. I nodded in reply and walked away. I jumped up into the same tree as before, my legs swinging back and forth. Even with his fire-red hair, I didn't notice Zachary in the tree as well. "So, is this our new meeting place?" I looked up to see him a few branches above me. "I guess so." I replied. He softly laughed and ran a hand through his red hair. Why does he remind me of Erin? I thought silently.

*Time skip because I don't know what to write about*

    As Jimin and I pulled up to the dance studio, I had a feeling that I would do great. We entered the room and sat down on the benches. When everyone had arrived, I stood up. We practiced the same thing as the previous day, and Mr. Kye added about 14 more moves. I got it all spot-on. "Wow Jen! You're doing so good that if you were to audition to BigHit right now, you'd be an idol in just a couple weeks!!" Mr. Kye commented at the end of class. I looked at Jimin, who smiled and winked as he stood up from his seat. "I agree." Lenny and Zachary said together.

  I thought it over for a few seconds. "I guess I will then. If you two and Mr. Kye, plus BTS, think I should, then I will." I said. Jimin clapped. "I knew you would." He said. I shrugged. "Okay..." I said unsurely.

*Another time skip*

  "Im very happy you've decided to audition." Said RM after hearing the news. He then went on and on for a long time about how he thought I would do in the audition, all the while Jungkook, Jimin, and Taehyung just sat listening like they didn't understand a word. Suga dozed off into what looked like a very pleasant nap while Jin and Hoseok looked around the room, clearly bored. Finally, Namjoon finished with his long explanation on his thoughts for my audition.

  Yoongi snapped out of his nap as Taehyung remembered something very important. "Don't we have to go back to BigHit tomorrow for practice?" He asked. Namjoon nodded. He offered for me to audition then, because they were already going there. I turned down the offer because I wanted to practice more before I auditioned. They agreed that was a good idea and then Jimin asked, "Can we play a video game, Jin hyung?" Jin nodded. Jungkook and Jimin were extremely excited as Jimin ran over to the TV stand where we kept all of the movies and games. Jimin turned on the Xbox, and asked who wanted to play. Me, Jungkook, Taehyung, and Jhope volunteered. "Um... I don't know how five people are gonna play at the same time, but we can try..." He said, tossing each of us a controller. I ended up with a camoflauge one, and Taehyung was holding a pink one. I reached over and snatched it from him, replacing it with the camo one. Now holding the pink controller, I pressed join as the racing game started up. Once everyone was joined, Jimin, being controller #1, pressed start. I was in the lead for three or four seconds before Jungkook blasted into the lead spot. He got to the finish line a centimeter before me and won. He jumped up from the couch and held his arms up triumphantly.

  Jimin scoffed and threw his controller on the couch. "Golden maknae is the winner!!" Jungkook yelled, dancing around. I looked up, smirking. "Sorry to burst your bubble Kookie, but you're no longer the maknae. I am." I said. He stopped. "Oh... Right..." he said, slightly sad. He could no longer be known as "the golden maknae", for I was now the maknae of the group.
