( DISCONTINUED ) K-Pop AU︲Reaching For My Dreams

1: New Beginning

Night had arrived at last. The day as usual was very hectic around the area, mostly students wandered around the park section of the city after school was over, enjoying the free time with their friends, taking some resting time for themselves or trying to catch a glimpse of idols coming in and out of the big, tall building that was situated at the park's entrance.

It was already ten past midnight, the park was fully empty, everyone was back to their homes and getting ready for bed, thinking of what is to come for the next day. In the midst of all that, Park Y/N walked through the wide path, murmuring the lyrics to "Spring Day" as he made his way to his apartment. Y/N usually stayed up late, even if it was his first day in the city, he decided to spend the time wisely and started practising, after all, he needed to get better.

"I wonder what how school will be like" he thought to himself, truly wondering if it was the right choice to travel all the way from the states just to study at a Performing Arts school. He had went abroad at the age of 13 to improve his dancing, he went through all those years of hard work so he could catch up and compare to his own brother's skills. Turning 19 that year, Y/N made the decision, along with his trainers and family, that he should complete his lessons back in South Korea while also completing his studies. His brother gave him a hand in such matter, as he gave in good words to the owner of the company "Big Hit". A few years ago, no one would've recognised such company's name, but now most people would turn a head if you mentioned the name of the company or his brother's group name.

"BTS" the dream seemed too far away, but Y/N made a promise to himself and his brother. "I will catch up to you, I will be as successful as you, don't underestimate me, Jimin hyung"

Arriving at the apartment building, he greeted the doorman, and was let inside, getting hold of his keys and finally entering his small but spacious home. Y/N didn't own a big amount of things, and all the things he did own, were all still packed inside the three boxes he asked to be moved to his apartment room. Deciding to unpack later, Y/N took a quick shower and organised his bag and uniform for the next day, before setting his alarm to the required time and laying in bed, closing his eyes and going to sleep.

The alarm echoed through the empty room once again as this time, Y/N walked inside his bedroom and turned it off, wiping his sweaty face with a towel. He had been dancing for about an hour straight, taking advantage of his empty apartment. Taking notice of the time, he stripped of his clothes and walked to the shower, making sure to wash his hair and skin delicately. He forgot to do his skin care routine that night, and so he had to be extra careful washing his face. Finally getting out of the shower, he dried himself off and started to dress into the given school uniform consisting of a dress shirt, red tie and trousers. He also took one of this newly bought pairs of shoes and put them on, sighing delightedly as the pair fit perfectly.

Y/N walked inside his small kitchen, checking that his cupboards and fridge were completely empty, and face palmed mentally. Deciding to go without any breakfast that morning, he applied some lip balm onto his lips and grabbed his bag before leaving his apartment room, closing the door and going down the stairs while putting his air pods on, choosing his music playlist.

It was still very early in the morning, with still an hour before the school bell rang for the first time on that day. With some time to spare, Y/N walked the unfamiliar path towards his new school, looking at signs and small shops in order to go the right way. After a few minutes of walking, he finally takes sight of the big, and long building he recognised as his school, taking his air pods off his ears and placing them back inside its container and putting it away inside his bag, he arrived at the entrance, where he sees a enormous, gold coloured, open gate.

Wow he thought, looking at how beautiful the school building looked, before taking a step further towards said building.

"Look out!" he heard a voice shout from behind him. Quickly turning to the source of the voice, he took notice of a girl coming towards his direction, on top of a bike which did not look like was slowing down.

"The brakes are broken!" the girl shouted once again as she approached the unfamiliar boy at full power, unable to stop or slow down. Y/N took a step back and extended his hands out as soon as the bike hit him, stopping it in the midst of running over him. However, the same could not be said about the girl, as she continued flying, not expecting such abrupt and sudden stop, she flew out of her bike, landing on top of the boy, both falling down in the process.

Y/N fell on his back, with the girl's head hitting hard against his chest whilst he used his leg to kick the bike softly down to the side so it did not fall on top of them. The girl moaned in pain as she rubbed her head a bit, before looking up, meeting his eyes.

"Oh my god!, I'm so sorry!" she quickly got up and bowed the boy laying down on the concrete floor, before extending a hand to him, offering to help him up. Y/N smiled reassuringly towards the girl, who he noticed was wearing a similar uniform to his own, and took her hand, getting up and bowing to her in return before looking back at her.

"Are you hurt?" he asked in concern, as he looked at her knee, which was bleeding slightly probably due to the fall he thought to himself. The girl waved her hand in front of her as she shook her head, and took a bit of tissue out of her pocket and wiped the tiny bit of blood off.

"It's all fine, just a scratch" she smiled towards the boy and extended her hand once more, "Thanks for helping me"

Y/N was slightly lost for a second by her beautiful smile before taking her hand in his and smiling back at her. "No, It's nothing. I'm Y/N and I'm new here" he told her, as he felt like it would be awkward otherwise.

She nodded slightly, taking the new information given to her before opening her mouth again,"Oh, the new transfer student I heard about. Nice to meet you, I'm Lia"
