July 2012; Los Angeles, California

For a 14 years old like Jeon Jungkook, being on a completely new country is hard. Everyone arounds him speaks english and he can't understand anything. Being away with his family is another factor too but he needs to endure all of it for his dream.

He wasn't really a good dancer as he prefer to sing. His dream is to be a singer so when he heard that the 3rd season of Superstar K had come to his hometown, he gathered all of his courage to audition. He was eliminated on the audition but multiple entertainment companies recruits him to their agency as they saw potential on his talent.

Out of all the seven companies who gave them their business cards, Jungkook chose Bighit Entertainment, a not so popular entertainment contrary to other six companies who scouted him. As he wasn't really good at dancing, Bang Si hyuk send him to L.A with the company's choreographer so he could learn how to dance properly.

This leads him to where he is right now, on the dance hall with many other foreign dancers loitered around the four corner room, a massive mirror stretched out on the whole wall.

The hall was big and spacious but Jungkook sat in the corner, all by himself. It's one of his problem, he's too shy to approach a local whatelse if it was a foreigner?

His doe eyes scans the hall, it was full of chatter, music and laughter but despite of having tons of people around him, he still felt lonely. It was his 2nd week on the class, some initiated conversations with him but his shyness gets the best of him, unintentionally pushing them away.

"You know, if you want to debut as an idol, you have to step out of your box and socialize. You can't be an idol if you're shy and afraid of talking to others." Son Seung Deuk, the choreographer who came with him stated, giving the kid a bottled water before sitting beside him.

Seung Deuk was the only person Jungkook can talk too but there's still a wall between them. Nonetheless, Jungkook was still greatful to have someone like Seung Deuk to lean on.

"Hyung, do you think I will become an idol?" Jungkook asks out of the blue, many what ifs swimming and mocking him on his mind.

"There's nothing possible if you work harder, kid. I'm going to be honest, Depyeonim saw potential on you but you won't going to debut if you keep to yourself. He's having a second thought of making you to debut with the other kids since he thinks you're still not ready. Step out of your box and explore the world, there's so many things that you can learn from your surrounding." as he finished, he stood up and walk away from him but not before patting his shoulder.

Once again, young Jungkook was left alone in a big room full of wide range people. Scanning his doe eyes around, he tried to find someone that he could talk to but to no avail.

"Saw no one?" Jungkook's head snapped to his side when he heard a little voice. It was a little girl dressed in loose tank top that's too big for her and a boots that didn't match her outfit. She has a bob cut hair and asian eyes.

It was the same kid who tried to talk to him the first time he got here and apparently, she's the only kid who can speak korean.

Jungkook shook his head, finding his mouth and voice irritating as they couldn't do their work properly. It's always been like this, when new people trying to be friends with him, he will find himself unable to talk properly as he was too shy to say anything. It's not like he couldn't speak but he chose not too since he didn't trust his voice, afraid that it will crack and make himself a laughing stock and possibly ruin his 1 month stay in L.A.

Just then, the glass door of the dance hall was swung open and laughters can be heard from the outside. It wasn't loud but enough for him to hear it. He doesn't know what made him anticipate the arrival but he finds himself staring at the door, intrigued to the people at the door.

Just in cue, four people entered the hall, two girls and two boys. They were all chatting, bickering and laughing, well, aside from the other girl.

Now that he has a clear view of the new arrivals, he felt himself getting drawned to the other girl, the one wearing addidas from head-to-toe, dark haired was being held by a ponytail and some framing her small face. Jungkook couldn't find himself to look away from the girl. She looks like a magnet as he was a metal, attracting him to stick beside her.

"That's Silver Asphodel. She's one of the original students here but she rarely goes to class as she was often away from the country because of her parents' job. There's a rumor going on that she's very loaded. According to Ken, he often sees her being escorted with men in black and a BMW." the bob cut haired girl explained. When Jungkook turned to look at her, she was staring at the four new arrivals, specifically to the girl that caught his eyes, Silver.

"Why are you saying this to me?" he asks.

"Because you seems to like her. I actually talked to her few times and she's very kind although she looks like a sociopath. She rarely shows emotion and rarely laughs despite of having a crazy group of friends like Kaycee, Sean and Ken who knows nothing but to goof around." she whispered the word "sociopath". Jungkook gawked at her in disbelief, How can an 8 years old or younger even knows the word "sociopath"?!

Jungkook's doe eyes dropped when one of the guy rest his head on Silver's lap, the guy looking up and playing with the loose hair framing her face "Are they---"

"Dating? Of course no! Sean is only 11 and she's 14, they are just very comfortable with each other since he's the first ever friend she got here in the company. And if anyone should be dating, it should be the other girl and him. They've been dance partner since childhood and everyone clearly sees that they like each other though they are too young to understand it." the little girl butted in before he can finish his sentence.

Once again, he finds himself looking incredulously at the girl, "Why do you speak like you know so much? You're still a child."

"I might be 8 years old but I'm not ignorant. I know when you like someone," she answered, standing up and dusting her leggings, "I'm Bailey Sok by the way, if you're wondering." she then offers her hand. Jungkook look at it, oblivious of what he will do with it. Is she asking for a shakehands?

When Jungkook accepts it, he was taken a back when the little girl pull him up. Surprised by the little girl's strength, he didn't have a chance to react and when he did, it was too late.

"Hi Silver! I want to introduce you to my new friend! He's a new student and he came all the way from Korea and he barely speaks English but he really wants to be friends with you!"

What do you think? There will be a lot more like this in the future.
