Sydney, Australia, 2012
You waited anxiously in line with all the other young K-Pop hopefuls. You had spent all day waiting for you chance to audition for YG Entertainment, with your dream of one day becoming a singer. It was a long shot, since they would only be taking one out of the hundreds here, but it was worth a try.
You made eye contact with the girl in front of you in line. She was an friendly looking Aussie Korean girl, maybe 14 or 15 years old, with a guitar slung over her shoulder.
"Excited?" you asked.
"Yes, but a little scared too" she replied with a nervous laugh.
You smiled, relieved that you weren't the only one anxious at the thought of auditioning in front of the YG judges.
"I'm sure you do great" you replied, "they'll be impressed you can play guitar."
"You think so?" she asked, her eyes brightening a little. "You are so nice. What's your name?
"Y/N. What about you?"
"Roseanne. But call me Rosie" she replied with a shy smile.
You chatted with her while you waited for your turn to audition. She seemed really nice, and having someone to talk to helped calm both of your nerves.
"Roseanne Park" called the YG staff member the door. "You're up."
She gave you an anxious look but you smiled kindly, easing her nerves. "Don't worry Rosie. You got this."
She pursed her lips into a small smile and nodded. "Thanks Y/N. I'll do my best."
After a few minutes you heard applause coming from the audition room, which you hadn't remembered hearing before. Rosie came out with a big smile.
"How did it go?" you asked.
"Really well I think!" she said excitedly. "At least I hope so."
"Y/N, you're up next" the staff person called. Suddenly a burst of nerves shot through you.
Rosie put her hand on your shoulder. "You'll do great Y/N. If I can do it, you definitely can. Show them what you got" she said smiling.
Feeling more confident, you stepped into the doorway of the audition room, waiting for the judges to invite you in. You overheard them whispering as they shuffled their papers.
"She's the one, I know it."
"She was wonderful. Exactly what we're looking for."
"By far the best today. May as well just take her and end the whole thing now."
"I wish, but we have to let the rest go, even if it's just a formality."
You felt a rush of pride for your new friend; it sounded like she had it in the bag. The judges looked up and were surprised to see you in the doorway ready to go.
"Come on in... Y/N is it?"
"Yeah that's me" you replied, bowing before walking in. Their faces seemed bored and impatient, probably because they had already chosen their winner.
You knew Rosie had almost certainly won, so you felt happy and free of pressure as you sang your audition song. The judges were uninterested at first, but they perked up a little as they listened to you sing. By the time you'd finished they were all smiling.
"That was impressive Y/N, you have some talent. I can see the potential, keep working hard and don't give up. Thanks for participating today."
You felt proud of yourself as you walked out to where Rosie was waiting for you. She saw your smile and her face lit up as well. "So it went good?"
