All her life, Jung Jiwon has been hiding in the shadows of her brother, Hoseok who everybody knows as J-hope in the group called BTS. Deciding to make a name for herself, Jiwon secretly auditions in the same label as her brother.
Date Started: May 1...
"Well, that was awkward." My dad tried to cover his laugh with a cough, his hand had risen dramatically to hide his smile. I playfully glared at him and shook my head. "You could have helped me out, dad."
"Well.... first impressions last long so better get on their good side, Jiji. You should make new friends here." He pat my slumped shoulder encouragingly. Even my nickname couldn't save me from the surge of thoughts I was beginning to imagine in my head. Seniors. They were soon to be my colleagues. Shit. I sluggishly ran my hand through my hair.
"Still! It's so embarrassing. Oh god." I pouted, looking down. I still couldn't wrap my mind around what just happened. My brain refuses to accept that that was how I meet my seniors. For the first time at that.
I just hope I don't see them as often in the company.
"Start moving, pumpkin! These luggages can't move themselves alone, can they?" My dad broke my reverie by whining childishly.
"Yeah, fine. Whatever, dad." I groaned.

"54! Found it." I turned to my dad. I didn't wait for another second and knocked on the door. The lady said I would have roommates. I'm not sure how many though. She didn't elaborate that part.
Not long after I could hear urgent footsteps hitting the floor. The door opened and a blonde girl with big doe eyes greeted me with a million dollar smile. She squealed and opened the door wider.
"Hi! I'm Ga eun and I'm gonna be your roommate!" She said enthusiastically while clapping her hands.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Jiwon." I said smiling at her calmly. I surveyed her petite frame. She was wearing an oversized hoodie that was hiding her softer figure and wore cotton shorts. Her tiger slippers didn't go unnoticed by me. It was the first thing I saw actually. How cute.
"So this is gonna be your room? I'll just look into it a little and I'll be going, Jiwon-ah." My father said while assessing my supposed roommate. "It'll be dark soon."
"Oh! Where are my manners? Please come in!" She said now acting a little shy. I giggled at this.
Scanning the room, it wasn't that bad. I was worried it'll be a little small because that was what the tv shows when they show the rooms of trainees. But this one was nice. It wasn't that large but perfect for us two.
Ga eun guided me to my room. It looked nice because it had a large window adjacent to the bed. It also had a study table and a big closet but all in all, it was left bare.
"So.... this is your bed." Ga eun said while patting the soft mattress. It bounced a few times under her weight, subtly teasing me of how comfy it would feel to lay on it.
"It's perfect." I whispered while scanning everything. This room would be my home for a long time and it was nicer than I expected. The walls were painted a pale yellow and had a little space for vanity on the left portion.
"Now, let's move on to the living room. It's nothing much but at least we have tv!" She said brightly while opening the door for me.
Hours passed and me and Ga eun found ourselves wrapped in a warm blanket, nursing a hot drink while watching television. We clicked almost instantly. She was so talkative and bubbly that it wasn't hard to warm up to her. My father has left an hour ago and now we were just flicking through the channels. I have learned that Ga eun was an only child and has dreamt of being an idol ever since she was young. She's only 17 and has started training two years ago. She was originally from a different company but told me that their over all style didn't mesh with hers that's why she left. She came to know Bighit by getting scouted at the grocery store with her mom back in her home town. It was so cool hearing her story. It brought a new fire in me to train diligently. She said we were 4 girl trainees in total. And I was the last one who joined. Bighit was planning to debut us on the third month next year and that's only like 5 months from now.
"We can meet the other girls tomorrow. I'm sleepy." Ga eun yawned sleepily while rubbing her eyes.
We bid goodnight and went our own separate ways. I have finished placing my stuff thanks to Ga eun. And now I can't help but stare at the ceiling while laying down. I'm so nervous. Training starts early tomorrow and I have to show them my potential.
