As we unload our luggage at the airport, Hyemi and I hug everyone who came to bid us goodbye, including her parents.

"Take good care, Hyemi-ah," her parents say to her as they envelope her in a hug.

"I will," she replies, her voice breaking as her eyes fill with tears.

Mr and Mrs. Kim turn to me, giving me a big, old hug.

"Take care as well, Hye Jung. It was great having you around. The house seemed more lively with you and Hyemi always playing with each other. You're like my second daughter," Mrs. Kim's voice also breaks as a few tears fall down her cheeks.

I slightly nod my head, "I will, and thank you for having me. It was great having another family there for me."

And then, I turn to Shawn, Margaret, Charles and the rest of our crew who we became close with, hugging them alongside Hyemi unnie.

"We'll miss you guys," we say simultaneously.

"We'll miss you guys even more," they say in unison, "Come back soon. We can't live with only two H&H albums out."

We all laugh as we bid our last good-byes before heading off to check-in to our flight going to South Korea.

I can't believe it.

We're actually going to South Korea. I'm finally going to South Korea.

It's always been a dream to visit the country, not only because of my liking of K-Pop, but also because it's a beautiful country.

I've so close to achieving all the dreams I've ever had.

. . .

As we grab our luggage from the bag pick-up area, we walk towards what seemed like the main area.

This whole time, I can't stop smiling and giggling to myself. Even Hyemi couldn't hide her excitement.

I'm finally here.

Finally.

We look around, trying to see for signs that have our names on it, because JYP Entertainment have sent someone over to pick us up.

Which is like an honest dream come true, I mean c'mon.

JYP Entertainment people!

As we search, we hear someone squealing behind us, so we turn around and there, a couple of people were holding up signs with H&H on them.

Our fans. I flash them a smile and greet them with a wave and a bow, to be polite, "Hi."

And Hyemi does the same as they all break out into screams of joy. I laugh a little as they approach, asking for autographs and pictures.

Of course we agree, I mean, I don't like rejecting people. I'm too nice to do that.

And so, we have a little 5-minute fan-meet.

After we bid goodbye to the fans, a man in his somewhat mid 30s approaches us, "Kim Hyemi and Park Hye Jung?"

We nod response, "Yes. You are?"

"I'm Kang Minjoo. JYP sent me here to pick you guys up," he smiles before leading us to a black van.

"Did you understand what he said?" Hyemi whispers to me since Minjoo was speaking Korean that time.

I nod, "I understand that much Korean, unnie."

I let out a light chuckle as we step into the van. A few moments later, the black vehicle roars to life, before embarking on the journey to the JYP Entertainment building.

The ride is filled with small talk here and there with Hyemi and Minjoo as I'm too busy admiring the beauty of Seoul.

But also still in shock knowing that I'm finally in FRICKIN SOUTH KOREA!

The sun hides behind the clouds for a moment or two before peeking out again, letting its rays provide me warmth.

Industrial buildings overlook the paths, where a few small food stalls were open, customers eagerly awaiting their turn to feast on their favorite Korean delicacies.

Locals flood the paths, some dressed in casual, light clothing - probably out for shopping, while others dressed in formal wear - indicating they are out for business purposes.

A while passes by and we finally arrive at the entertainment. I step out of the vehicle and gawk at the building in front of me.

Pictures of JYP Entertainment artists albums are plastered up to the top of the building, JYP is written in blue, thin letters next to the photos.

"I think I'm going to cry," I mumble as my eyes scan the building.

Hyemi laughs as she urges me forward, "I know it feels like a dream to you, and that you would've never expected to actually make it here, right?"

"You know me so well," I smile as we follow Minjoo into the architecture.

The receptionist greets us with a warm smile as we walk through a hallway and into the elevator.

Once we arrive at the top floor, he knocks on a door labeled JYP.

As we hear a muffled "Come in," we enter the room and are now face-to-face with the Park Jinyoung, JYP, the director of JYP Entertainment.

I hold onto Hyemi's arm for support to make sure I don't faint.

THIS IS A FRICKIN DREAM!! SOMEONE WAKE ME UP!

I internally scream as he draws nearer, smiling at the both of us before holding out his hand to greet us, "Hi girls."

He starts speaking in English so I could understand.

"Hello," we greet in unison, slightly bowing our heads as we shake his hand.

"You guys are really blowing up. Everywhere I go, there's always someone listening to your songs," he states with an amazed look.

We chuckle sheepishly, "It's not like that."

I swear I'm as red as a tomato right now. Probably even redder.

"It's exactly like that," he chuckled and we all take a seat.

"So girls, this is what I've planned for you guys. I've decided I'll create another girl group with 5 members. Two of them are you, the other three are Kim Minji, Jung Eun Ji, and Jung Eun Mi. As of now, details on the group are still in the making, but the members have been finalized. We'll be working on names for the group, and the positions you will suit. But feel free to give any ideas. After a few weeks we'll then start working on your debut album. These are the details so far. Now, come with me. I'll give you a personal tour of the entertainment."

As soon as we walk out of his office, my palms become sweaty as my breathing becomes heavier.

As JYP shows us where everything is located, I start getting more and more nervous. I just had this gut feeling that sooner than later, we would stumble upon an artist.

More like GOT7.

As JYP opens the door to a practice room, the voices of guys that used to be very loud, ceases to exist now as all eyes were on us. I start hyperventilating as I lock eyes with the Jackson Wang.

I am standing right in front of GOT7.

. . .

A/N: YOLO stars, I know I'm late on the updates. But I've been really busy theses days, and I can't find any motivation to write, but I am trying my best to get chapters up. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Next chapter will be out most likely next Friday.
