My eyes wearily opened. I quickly sat up in the big bed.

My mind panicked when I saw the time. I leapt off of the comfy mattress, picked out a pair of nice clothes and stood in the shower.

I usually took long, hot showers but today I couldn't. As soon as I screwed this up, I would have to go home.

It took me five minutes to do my makeup. I ran around my room and fixed everything before sprinting out the door.

I combed my fingers through my hair while the elevator slowly descended. As I walked out, I could see Byung-ho standing outside.

"Good morning," he said.

"Good morning." I didn't look at him.

He started driving. I kept on playing with my hair out of anxiety. The huge buildings passed us by with signs advertising the latest products.

I tasted a metallic feeling on my tongue. I realized I had been biting the side of my mouth the whole time.

We stopped in front of the BigHit building. It loomed over me. I couldn't see the top because the sun was blinding me.

"Bye and thank you," I told Byung-ho. I quickly climbed out of the car and entered through the front doors. I'm inside the BigHit building. I will see BTS in under ten minutes.

I tried not to die as I straightened out my clothes. My black flats clicked on the tile floors.

"Belle?" I heard a voice call from the other end of the hallway. There was a woman standing. She had her hair in a neat bun. I liked the way the "L" sound in my name rolled off her tongue delicately.

I walked toward her. "Yes."

"I'm Chan-ri. I will be your mentor as an intern." I smiled. She seemed nice. So far, so good.

"Follow me." I shuffled behind her as she talked. Sometimes I would have to listen extra carefully because she had a thick accent.

"I work with all the members, but mostly Jeongguk. There are many of us makeup artists, but they thought it would be a good idea for you to work with Jeongguk since he is the same age as you. You two will get along well."

She turned around and saw me observing carefully.

"Ah, don't worry. You'll get used to it. You'll have to work with all the members."

I gave her a face of approval.

"When you turn this hall, it will lead you to the doors of the styling hall where you will be doing their makeup. The boys are almost done with practice until break, so I would like to introduce you to them."

Excitement shot up through my spine. A yelp was tugging at my lips but I kept quiet. No fangirling, Belle.

We walked into the styling room. Holy sh-

My thoughts were interrupted by Chan-ri speaking. Other makeup artists came to us, introducing themselves.

"This is our team."

They all seemed really friendly. Some of them kept quiet, probably because they didn't know much English.

"Oh, they're here," a man said into his microphone that was around his ear.

I was so nervous and excited at the same time that I almost peed my pants.

Here we go.
