As Parallel (English Ver.) 🔜

2. Debut

June 1st, 2013

Daily life as a trainee getting tougher for Hwang Eun Bi, especially when there are rumors that have spread about the agency will transfer female trainees to 'cousin' agencies.  For the benefit of the project they said.

Eunbi had no more idea about what their CEO actually planned.

Just like all of sudden, Eunbi got a call from the agency staff, she couldn't help but pick up the phone even though she had intended to sleep all day for today.

"Come to the recording studio! We are waiting" said the staff named Yoo Se Jin clearly but made Eunbi still took a long time to digest the sentence she hear over the phone.

After wiping her face several times, Eunbi understood and admit the agency's request.  Although full with tomboyish and straight-forward behavior, Eunbi is not a dissident.  She is obedient for the sake of her dreams.  Besides that, she was also quite curious about why she was suddenly asked to come to the studio.  She made assumptions about a new project. And she loved it of course.

"I'm going to practice! Annyeong!"  Eunbi grabbed the bread from her oppa's hand, Hwang Eunjae. The mother could only shake her head to see her daughter's behavior while Eunjae had to give up losing the bread that he had smeared wholeheartedly with his favorite jam.
Eunbi chuckled for a moment then greeted her mother and father.

"Why so early?"  Asked the father folding the newspaper he had been reading, but there was no answer because the girl was lost at the turn of the porch.  Eunbi is always passionate about her training, and her family always supports Eunbi's choice.

Eunbi immediately took the first bus to Seoul which will take almost 2 hours to arrive at the company, it's right time according to Staff Yoo's request for Eunbi to arrive before 10 pm o'clock at the studio.  It's still 7 in the morning.

Eunbi always takes a bus trip from the Cheongju to Seoul 3 times a week, sometimes she stays at a friend's house if their schedule is too tiring and too late.  Before having an agency, Eunbi, who prepared herself to become a celebrity since childhood, was familiar with this routine.  Little Eunbi remembers often staying at the residence of big Eunbi when she entered dance class, they even had time to practice together again at Big Hit.  But they haven't contacted each other in a long time.  The training world is cruel, you meet lots of people but lose them faster than the wind.

But that doesn't mean they will never meet again.

Eunbi immediately threw away her memories of the trainee friends who had gone away a lot without a word.  It always brought unpleasant feelings for her, until make her more sleepy. And in the mean time she chose to continue her morning sleep, sleeping until she arrived in Seoul.

Eunbi appeared at the Big Hit recording studio 20 minutes early, there she already saw some familiar men lined up on chairs with a piece of paper in their hands.

"Annyeonghaseyo" Eunbi bowed and greeted politely, breaking up the busy people in the studio.  They compactly replied to the greetings from the popular training student.  Due to his popularity, he became quite familiar with a group of young people who were predicted to debut under the name Bangtan Sonyeondan.  They were the ones who were busy with a piece of lyric paper in their hands.

Yoongi immediately waved at the young girl who he often treated an ice cream when she was younger, that's why Eunbi without being awkward immediately approached and greeted those aspiring idols.  Even though Yoongi was Eunbi's first love, it inevitably made it awkward for the girl, she was always able to control her emotions.  After all, it was a faded first love.

"Yes, Eunbi-ssi!"  Jung Ho Seok shouted cheerfully to the girl he remembered last time was so tiny.  Eunbi grimaced but didn't protest when Ho Seok had landed a pinch on his chubby cheek.

"Hwang Eunbi will help us a little in this recording! Come here Eunbi!"  Said Yoo Se Jin as the caller for Eunbi to be there.

There was Jungkook, the one who was vey happy  to see Eunbi again.

Apparently, Eunbi was asked to fill in the part for the song in the Jungkook CS album which she finally found out that they would debut under the name BTS, Bangtan Sonyeondan or Bangtan Boys or Bulletproof Boy Scouts - that's written on the staff id card.

Too long for a group name~Eunbi thought.

STAFF
BTS
방탄 소년단 / Bangtan Boys
Bulletproof Boy Scouts

"Isn't it too long?"  Eunbi asked after completing the take vocals for the song Just One Day, the task was simple, only record  by call Yoongi's name cute.  Yes, that's all.  It made her complain about having to come all the way for such short sentences all day

"What? Didn't you say it was so short!"  said Yoo Se Jin after checking Eunbi's recordings

"Not my line, but their group name."

"Just call us by the name Bi Ti eS" said Jungkook, who had been watching Eunbi for a long time.  Eunbi nodded in understanding as she sat beside him.

"Btw, how about your school? You entered high school this year, right?"  Said Eunbi, changing the topic of conversation

"Uri Kookie won't go to school first" said Namjoon, Rap Monster was his famous name at the training center

"Cheer her up Eunbi! Isn't it very early for her to debut?"  This time it was Seokjin who made a voice while teasing the maknae with exasperation, Jungkook pushed aside Seokjin's naughty hands, trying to look manly especially in front of Eunbi like this.

"Nothing is too early for a dream" said Eunbi silencing Jin cs.  Eunbi definitely also wishing to debut as soon as Bangtan tho. Taehyung who caught the awkwardness immediately broke the silence by turning up the volume of his voice singing the part that was about to be taken.

Eunbi could only shake her head, this handsome guy didn't change she said

"Aigoo ye ye Kim Taehyung-ssi, you really deserve to be an idol" Eunbi's sarcastic response brought laughter and began to mock Taehyung who finally complained about asking to be called by his stage name, V.

If it was like this, Eunbi believes the BTS dorm must be very noisy.

Eunbi turned back to Jungkook who was smiling at the interaction of his Hyungs, he would have trouble thinking Eunbi.

"Fighting Jungkook-ssi! This is your dream," said Eunbi, making Jungkook turn to her with an unexpected look.  Eunbi who he knows is a cool girl make him wonder to hear that encouraging sentence.  Jungkook just smiled again at Eunbi whose birthday was in two days.

"Happy birthday, Eunbi!"  Jungkook whispered to invite a frown on Eunbi's forehead because it was not her birthday yet, there are still 2 days to go.

"Who knows, we won't meet at your birthday, so I'll just say it now"

The two of them then smiled blandly.

Indeed, they will be separating in a very, very, very soon.
