"Ok, what the actual-" I check my phone and I see what I didn't expect to see. There it is, right there, on MY phone screen.

JYP Entertainment:

(This is actually JYPE's phone number, 82 being the country's area code, and 2 being Seoul's area code. Only call in order to get Stray Kids' Jisung to have pink hair in the next comeback.)

This is happening... this is actually happening. "HOLY SHIT! WAAAHHH!!! EOMMA! EOMMA!" I was yelling as I was sprinting down the stairs, "EOMMA LOOK AT THIS!!!" I scream as I shove my phone in her face. She jumps back in shock but attempts to read the message. "How do you expect me to be able to read this if it's being pushed into my eye sockets?" She questions as she pushes my phone back away from her face. "I don't know but LOOK AT THIS!" I started to yell once again.

She sighs, probably questioning why she decided to push me out of her womb, but she still looks at the print on the phone. After taking a few seconds to read over the text, her eyes seemed to change into disappointed ones "Oh Honey, don't you think there are other careers that are more suitable for life? What about school? You're only seventeen after all."

"But Mom, this is my dream. Music is all I have. Without this, I don't know what I can or will be. If you won't let me do this then you might as well throw me to the streets now. If I can't accomplish my dream, I'll be living in your basement forever. I'll die alone, and you won't ever get any grandchi-"

"OKAY!" She interrupts. "I'll let you do it, now, let's call that number." While she says this, she stares at me with loving eyes, still concerned for my future.

Lee Jangmi's POV

"And that has finished up today's....another..boring live...bye bye!" I sigh as I finished my live on Instagram that no one watches. I plopped down on my bed scrolling through the rest of Instagram to find something interesting.

After failing to do so, I turned off my phone and plopped my face into my pillows. After some minutes of just lying there comfortably, I heard the familiar buzz of my phone. I grabbed my phone and looked to see JYP Entertainment messaged me.

"Great, they're finally kicking me out. The geezers'll be happy to hear that my dreams are crushed. They'll be able to finally stop scowling at me for once."

.......

What?!?!

I double-check the message to make sure that I'm not dreaming, but surely enough, the message is the same, no matter how many times I blink and clear my eyes.

Finally, after five years of training under JYPE, I finally have a chance to debut. I'm finally getting my opportunity to achieve my life goals, no way am I throwing away this chance!

Seo Areum's POV

"I GOT IT EOMMA!!" I yell at my mother as I'm running towards the kitchen to try and stop the boiling pot of water and noodles from overflowing. "Areum you have to put a spoon over it or something so the water doesn't rise over the edge" she retorted back to me with a hint of anger and worry behind her words. I'm pretty sure she just doesn't want me to burn the noodles.

"For a 18-year-old your phone is blowing up," my grandmother yells from her bedroom. "Hold on Eomma I'll be right there!" I look at my mom and she nods which means she's giving me the ok to go see what's happening with my grandma.

Once I reach her room she holds up my phone for me to look at. I take it and I have 4 Snapchat notifications, 3 twitter, and 1 text message. I tend to open my texts first so that's what I did. I tap on the icon and it opens to the new message.

After reading it I nearly dropped my phone. "This can't be real...this has got to be a joke," I say to myself.
