Road To Dreams

4- First Day

YN POV

I was never the type of person who was anti-social. In school, I was always the kid who would befriend everyone. But Jeon Jungkook? We both had a history and meeting him where I least expected it was kinda awkward for me. In school, I could literally ignore him and talk with my friends so I didn't have much of a problem here. But how was I supposed to live with him 24/7?

See, the thing was, Jungkook had joined the school last year. He was a cute and shy boy and I was eager to befriend him. He had also approached me shyly and I had welcomed him warmly. But after that, he avoided me a lot. I thought at first that it was something to do with his shy nature but nope, I was wrong. Later, the news reached my ear that my nemesis is school, aka Seon Hyeonwa had told him false things about me. Like for instance, I was a slut and a bitch. I used people for my dirty work. And I also befriend people to influence them. Sounds dramatic and lame? That's Hyeonwa to you. She just started hating me because I told on her once... And for a valid reason too. She was literally bullying a girl so badly every day that the girl would burst into tears every time Hyeonwa approached her. I first persuaded the girl to speak up but she was so nervous that her hands were literally shaking while talking to me. And that was when I told on her. And thus began our eternal feud.

The problem here was Jungkook believed all those stuff she told about me. And that would make any sensible and timid person stay away from me. Dragging myself away from those memories, I smiled and bowed to the others, "I'm equally pleased to meet you.". Taehyung held my arm and dragged me to the room, "We sleep here in this room YN. That is your bed.", he pointed. It was a small room with 4 bunk beds close to each other. In front of those beds was a huge closet that all of them managed to divide amongst themselves. There was an empty space on the end of the closet which was presumably meant for me. "Do I put my clothes here?", I asked Taehyung. He nodded and I proceeded to arrange my luggage over there. "Yah! All of you!", Seokjin shouted and I looked up. "Not you YN-ssi", he assured me. I nodded and continued. He continued shouting at the members, "I told you all to clean before the new member comes. This place looks like a pigsty!". "If she has to stay here," Yoongi replied lazily looking up from his phone, "She needs to get used to this." I shook my head while smiling.

"I'm assuming that everyone is comfortable in this kind of mess?" I asked casually. Hoseok said, "I'm tired of telling everyone to clean up but will they listen? Clean and tidy, I say but noo... Everyone is too lazy.". I giggled at his rant while the others rolled their eyes. After I finished arranging my clothes and the rest of the luggage, I went into the drawing-room. Taehyung gestured me to sit next to him and I sat down. Yoongi muttered, "I expect that we shall have to wear this goddamn shirt every time now.". I replied quickly, "Actually you don't have to force yourselves about that. I have an elder brother and he stays shirtless all the time at home.". "Well, we are shirtless amongst people who we are close with, so we can't stay shirtless in front of you, right?". I could see he was trying to infuriate me but I maintain my happy, cheery personality, "Well then that's up to you. I was merely suggesting.". "We didn't ask for your opinion.". Before I could reply again Seokjin said, "Yoongi. Stop all that nonsense. She's new here. Learn to give people space.". He rolled his eyes and lazily scrolled through his phone. "So,", Jimin said, "You and Jungkookie are of the same age, right?". I nodded and Jungkook did too. "You must know each other then.", Taehyung concluded. Namjoon deadpanned, "Taehyung, just because they are of the same age doesn't mean they should know each other.". "But,", I interjected, "we both actually study in the same school.". Taehyung gave a rectangular-shaped grin that looked like a box, "See I was correct.". Namjoon shook his head while smiling. Then when the boys were talking amongst themselves, I pulled out a book I wanted to read. I was an avid reader and I understood English too, so I pulled out 'Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix'. I was quietly reading it when, "YN-ssi?". I looked up to see Namjoon. "I see you are a Potterhead?", he asked. I nodded. When he saw the cover he said, "It's in English though.". "Yes, I can read English.".

[A/N: Whatever will be in bold means that they are speaking in English]

"So your English must be pretty good if you can read that humongous book.", he said smiling. "Ya, I guess you can say it is good", I smiled back. "How did you learn English by the way?", I asked him. "Oh", he laughed scratching the back of his head, "My mom actually made me see the series FRIENDS, you know. First I saw it in Korean, then in English with Korean subtitles and then In English with English subtitles. So I kinda got the hang of it.". "Cool", I marvelled. "What about you?", Namjoon asked. "Me?", I laughed, "Actually when I was 6, I attended my brother's English tuition sometimes and got the hang of it a bit. Then I started scavenging books around the house. So by the time I was 7, I was pretty much good. And I just sat in a corner while he was studying, so yeah.", I concluded. He smiled, "That's pretty amazing too. Learning at such a young age. Did you happen to see FRIENDS by the way?". "Yeah, I did. But that was after I was proficient in English.". He nodded. Before he could continue, a call interrupted him. He excused himself and went to attend it.

He came back after the call, "Guys, we have dance practice now. Let's go.". We all nodded and went down. When we entered the studio, Manager Sejin was waiting for us. Along with him, there was another person whom I presumed to be the choreographer. Sejin-nim noticed me looking at the choreographer. "Ah YN", he said, "This is Son Sung-Deuk, your choreographer.". Turning to the rest of us he said, "The evaluations are next week. We may decide your position on the group. But you need to be consistent even after that, or else we can remove you.". We all nodded. We all lined up in front of the mirror while Sung-Deuk nim taught us moves and then we followed them. They were basic moves to improve our body coordination, footwork and agility. Hoseok was the best in dancing undoubtedly. Jimin was really good too, and I had to admit that Jungkook was good too. Each one had a different style of dancing but they all looked really good (and sometimes funny. *cough* Seokjin and Namjoon *cough*). We practised for so long that I couldn't feel my legs. They were numb and aching. Apparently, the others felt the same too so the stood against the mirror for support as they caught their breath. I leaned on the wall and gulped down water.

After a while, we began dancing, but the mirror was so foggy that we couldn't see anything. "YN-ssi", Jimin asked me, "Could you pass us the newspaper.". I obliged and then we started wiping the mirror with the newspaper in hopes of seeing our reflection. Practising for a couple of hours, we then sat down for a quick lunch, (I finally understood how broke trainees lived), and more practise. For dinner, we planned to go to a convenient store. And my stupid self told, "Why don't we eat from Doore Yoo?". Yoongi looked at me as if I was a psychopath, "Hey! We are broke trainees. How do you expect us to get that much money from?". Jimin cheekily said, "Maybe she's asking us to rob a bank.". Yoongi rolled his eyes while the others laughed. I just smiled, "Ok. So let's go to the convenience store then.". Dinner was ramen, rice and sausage. I was more tired than the night where I had to stay up for my project. I climbed the bunk and fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed.
