I don't know what I'm doing here.
That mantra has been stitched to her brain ever since she arrived. Her leg bounces up and down, up and down. She keeps on looking at the clock that is hanging on the wall, but time simply seems to not pass by any further.
Around a month ago, she saw an advertisement of a small company. It was about becoming an idol. Out of pure boredom and for the fun of it, she auditioned and sent some videos.
To say that she was surprised about her acceptance would be an understatement. There she is now, sitting on a chair, in a city where she has no knowledge nor orientation of.

Yet any of those overflowing thoughts are washed out as someone calls out, "Kim Ahri..." He stops himself, blinking excessively while examining the piece of paper again. There is another name written on it, and it turns him rather perplexed. "Yona?"

"Nice." Ahri fidgets with her fingers.
"I watched your audition video with joy. Your rapping skills are quite well, even without any training. Or did you train before? What was your occupation before wanting to become an idol?" He bombards her with countless more questions.
