Pandemic Uprising

Chapter 1: The Search for Talent

Hey guys, this is going to be my first K-pop story. TalentCommunity created the book cover, so that is credited to them, and thank you! The story is based on me and my friends.  Certain parts of the story are real, while some of them are fictional. For example, Jay-Kobe, aka me, is just white in real life.Ok, let's get into it, shall we?

English will be in normal text.

Korean will be in Italics

Hitman Bangs Pov

Edited

I can not be late for this meeting! I am running through the hall in BigHit because I have a meeting with some executives. Hi, my name is Bang Si-hyuk, CEO of BigHit Entertainment. As CEO, it is my job to make sure the company is running smoothly. BTS has been the main moneymaker, and with the formation of TXT, last year sales are booming. However, I want to make an announcement, which is why I called the meeting. Making it to the meeting room, everyone is in their seats, and I take mine. "Sorry for being late, gentlemen. Bts needed me for a moment. Now, let's get this meeting underway."

     "We have been looking over the sales and popularity, and BTS and TXT are doing quite well with their promotions," said Mr. Kim

     "Everyone I called this meet to make an announcement. I want to do something no company has ever done before. I want to form a new group full of foreigners. I have a flight to America in a couple of hours." There were some arguments about it not being a good idea because after the flop of Katchi options about foreign idols went down. I want to change that, and BigHit will show everyone.

Janghyuk's Pov America

I was sleeping peacefully. I was having a dream that my friends and I were on stage at the billboards singing. That dream was interrupted by the sound of the alarm clock going off. I groan and get ready for college. My name is Park Janghyuk, but everyone calls me Jay or Jacoby. I am a student at the Musical Institute in Richmond, Virginia. I am in my second year and am in a band with my friends called Pandemic. We are friends five from high school and got into this college, hoping it will help us see our dream come true.

Grabbing my stuff, I get to the kitchen and see my parents eating. "Good morning, Eomma, Appa.

     "Good morning, Jay-Kobe
What classes do you have today," my Appa asked.

     "I have music, vocal lessons and choreography, and Korean." I am Korean-American, so the last class I took for an easy A. I was born in Korea, but we moved to America after I was born. I speak Korean and English. I normally speak English, but at home, I speak Korean. My friends have been learning Korean. They are almost fluent, but still, get some things wrong.

     "You should be off now. If you miss the bus you will be late for your classes." My eomma(mom) tells me.

     "I will be off then. See you two later!" I walk out the door and head to the bus stop. As I get to the bus, I put on my headphones and go to my BTS playlist. They are my favorite boy band ever. I mean, they are inspirational, and I look up to them. Some people think that it is weird that I, a guy, like a boy group. Everyone has an opinion, so I pay no mind, the bus stops, and my friend Jordan gets on.

     "Hey, Jay-Kobe. "

     "Morning Jorden. Are you excited for today?"

     "Yea, we have been working on this song since last semester." My group had been working on a song to perform for today's music show. Our song will be in Korean with English subs on a screen. The bus gets to school, and we walk to class.
