"Mom!" We are at the train station and I'm about to pursue my best friend's dream.. unfortunately that means that I'll have to leave my family behind and move to the big city by myself. "Mom stop!" I try to avoid my mom who is trying to put lipstick on me. "Stand still! You have to look presentable or else those kids will make fun of you!" She complains and my dad shakes his head before saying "Just ignore your mother, she is just not ready to let go of you." I smile at them both. I know it's hard for them to let me go but this is my only chance to see my best friend again! That day where I got a call from the company I auditioned for I was so excited and happy! This is it, this is what I've been waiting for! "Don't worry mom and dad.. I'll still call you guys every now and then. And I promise to visit you guys every once in a while!" I said while holding their hand and my mom then gives me a hug.
"You are already 18 years old and ready to be independent.. just don't forget that we are always here for you okay?" She said and I nod at her while hugging her back. I get to say goodbye to my parents before I get on the train to Seoul. I then arrive at Seoul and it's a lot bigger than I thought.. "wow, how am I supposed to find the building from here?" I whisper to myself. As I'm about to walk over the street, someone then grabs me from behind and we both fall on the ground. "Are you okay?! Why would you walk over the crosswalk when it's red?!" I look up to see a handsome young guy on top of me. I then realize how close our faces are to each other and he notices my expression and quickly stands up. "I'm sorry about that uhm let me help you!" He said and offers me a hand and helps me get up on my feet again. He gives me my luggage and I quickly bow at him before I say "I'm sorry! I just- I'm from the province so I'm not used to this kind of environment." He chuckles before he said "yeah I can tell but, you don't look like you're from the province I mean your hair is pink.. perhaps you're a trainee?" I awkwardly rub my head and nod at the same time. "Cool, I'm Mark lee. A trainee as well under SM entertainment! You must be the new girl uh Ryujin Shin?" I smile at him before I say "yes! That's me!" We both chuckle before he offers me to walk with me to the building. Nice! I got a friend on my first day! This is going to be amazing! We get there and a young guy walks over to Mark. "Hey hyung! We need you to check something for us!" Mark looks at me and said "sorry, I have to go but just tell that man who you are and he'll lead you to your room!" I give him a nod and he follows the guy back inside a room. The man gives me a key with the number 302 and I look around the other building to find my dorm. 300...301...302! There it is! I open the door to see a small living room and I spot a girl brushing her hair. She turns around and looks at me in shock. "Are you Ryujin?" She asks while she points at me with her hair brush. I slowly nod and her eyes lights up. "Omg omg I've been so excited to see you in person! My name is Yuna!" She hugs me which startled me a bit but I just chuckle. "Oh I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to scare you! I was born in 2003 so you can just speak comfortably to me if you want." She said with a huge smile on her face. She shows me around and let's me know the rules as well. Luckily I'm going to share room with her cause she seems really sweet. After fixing my stuff, I go down to the practice room with Yuna and I see 3 other girls dancing. One of them looks at me and turns off the music before walking towards me. All eyes are at me now and I feel a bit pressured. "Hi, my name is Yeji! And this is Lia, Chaeryoung and I'm assuming you already know Yuna?" Yuna nods happily before I say "hi uh- I'm Ryujin!" We then sit down to just chat and get to know each other. They're so kind towards me even if we only have been talking for 20 minutes. Lia then asked me "so what are your specialties?" I then said "I mainly dance and rap but if I practice hard then I might be able to sing as well." They all nod at me and shortly after we talk for a while, we start practicing. Apparently we have a monthly evaluation test to present and that's what we are preparing for. That night after I took a shower, Yuna asks me "so why are you here? I mean you must have a reason to why you wanted to be an idol right?" I pause for a second before I say "uhm it was my best friend's dream.." she looks at me confused. "Wait why would you go through all of this when it wasn't your dream to begin with?" She asked and I sit down on my bed. "Well my plan is to be successful enough to be on tv so he can see me.. but it has been 10 years so I doubt that he can remember me." I said while looking at my old shoe. "But why do you carry that with you?"she points at my small shoe and I smile at her. "It's my lucky charm.. my best friend has the other one and this is the only thing that keeps me close to him." I said calmly and Yuna freaks out. She runs over to me and sits beside me on my bed. "It's just like Cinderella! Whoever has the other shoe is the one! aww, I wish that I could have my own Prince Charming as well.." she said with dreamy eyes and I pat her in the forehead with the shoe. "Why would you think that? There is nothing romantic between him and I! He was like my older brother to me and that is all." I chuckle and she slowly rubs her forehead before her eyes lights up once again. "Then What is his name? Maybe I know this mysterious guy?" She asked and I said "His name is Jaemin Na."
She looks at me in shock.. "Jaemin Na?! Isn't he that scary dude who has been training for 7 years?!" I look at her confused. Wait she knows him?! "Don't get your hopes up girl! That guy is scary and doesn't sound like your friend at all!" She said before walking over to the bathroom.
It's been three weeks since I moved out and it's been hard to be a trainee but I can handle it. I can't leave now that I'm already here. I walk through the hallway while sipping my yogurt drink with Yuna before she said "unnie I have to go to the bathroom, just wait here!" I chuckle at her and give her an "alright" look before she runs to the girls bathroom. I stand there for a while until I hear someone rapping in the practice room beside me. I peak inside to see a guy practicing hard. He turns around and I widened my eyes. "No way-" I drop the yogurt drink that I was holding and he looks at my direction. He furiously opens the door and looks at me annoyed. "J-Jaemin?" I manage to say and he gives me a questionable look. "And who are you?" He asked. Wait what? Does he not remember me? He scoffs at me before he said "if you are just going to stand there then I suggest you to not bother me. I don't got time for this." He closes the door right in front of me and that's when I snap back to reality. What the- What just happened? That is not how I remember my best friend.. did he actually forget about me?
