sushi girl
초밥 소녀
Jieun looks up to her dream school; a couple stories high, many beautiful buildings, soon to be holding talented students.She wasn't as confident as many of her peers in her old high school. She didn't have any friends. Maybe it was because she had put on weight since starting middle school, or maybe it was the fact that she had braces to fix her ugly teeth, and it could also be that she had terrible vision which lead her to wear thick, black glasses.
She wasn't the best on the outside, but she had the sweetest and softest heart, and a talent that no one knew her for.
She could sing. She sang so beautifully and it was her goal to debut as a solo artist, but the motivation never came to her until she finally had her chance to audition at Dream High.
It was an expensive school, and although she wasn't poor, she was also not swimming in tons of money either.
Her family and herself included, had finally saved enough, in hopes of her actually making it in the school.
Today was the day that Jieun had been waiting for. Artists such as Sunmi from Wonder girls and JYP came out from this school. This school had normal students come out to become legends in the korean music industry.
She was terrified and she was hoping that they didn't care too much about how she looks because she had decided that it would be a good idea to wear a sushi costume.
Stares came from every direction as she stepped into the cold, air conditioned room, although, she was sweltering hot in the big ensemble.
Whispers were coming from the beautiful girls and many laughter from guys here and there, but then she thought, it probably would've been worse if she had no costume. Only girls wearing clothes many sizes smaller than her form were around her. They were beautiful, which was something that Jieun believes she would never be.
She starts to walk to the main room, which is where a small stage on the wall was set up, and a big tv, which would be showcasing the auditions.
A woman with formal attire steps up to the stage with a mic in hand, "It is time to start auditions. The judges will be stating if you make it into Dream High right after your audition, so if you do make it, make sure to come back here tomorrow at 8 am to receive your schedule and uniform. Your first day will begin right after you receive the required necessities to begin. A couple of notebooks are needed to copy any important notes for the school year. Finally, wait for your name to be called and you may leave after your audition. Good luck to all."
"Kim Miyoung."
As the girl goes to the room, receiving words of encouragement, Jieun goes to find an employee who would be randomly selecting names to go and audition and asks in a quiet voice, "Sorry, but do you think I'll be able to go last?" Hoping that the students would leave after the audition.
The man with the employee badge hanging from his neck, looks up from his clipboard and stares in shock at the delicate voice coming out from the big get up, "Um, sure, I need a name though."
Jieun brings her hands to clutch in front of her dad belly, shrugging the tiniest bit, "Lee Jieun."
He looks for the list that happens to be in alphabetical order, and checks off her name with a note to the side that shows, Ms.Sushi-last
She cringes at the name that may be stuck with her for her senior year. She bows as a sign of thanks and leaves to find an empty seat that would be able to fit her.
People seem to like being near the television with their friends, watching the girl audition, so she had no trouble finding a whole table empty in the back.
As she waddles to the table, her big head prevents her from seeing too much, and she accidentally bumps into a very attractive boy.
She falls backwards, her sushi getup cushioning her fall, as the boy stands confused that he bumped into a sushi.
She attempts to stand up as cooly as she can, but being a sushi roll, the costume was so big that she couldn't get back up from her position.
The attractive boy, very aware of her struggle, brings his hand to hold her gloved ones to help her up.
Jieun, thankfully wearing a cover up, blushes heavily, and bows as a sign of thanks.
He smiles, and Jieun thinks, he looks like a bunny.
Jieun offers him a shy smile until she realizes that he can't see her. Which makes her also realize that their hands are still connected. He also seems to realize as a pink tint shows on his face.
He lets go of her hand gently, and wonders why he's so caught up with a sushi. He can't even be too sure if the person inside the egg is a girl or not.
"Hi, I'm Jungkook," he says with a smile, exposing his cute dimples.
"Yeah, h-hi, I'm J-Jieun," she stutters out shyly.
Jungkook melts at her sweet voice, knowing that he is indeed talking to a girl, "Why are you in a sushi costume?" He asks, curious, but amused all the same.
And just as she was going to reply, the clear voice of the employee yelling out names calls, "Bangtan!"
Jungkook turns his head from the worker, back to Jieun and says, "That's my cue, I'll see you later Ms.Sushi!"
"Good luck," she says in a faint whisper, as he turns and jogs to the rest of his members.
