Bang Si-hyuk POV
My thoughts were all over the place. I needed to find the last member. Where do I look I thought.
I opened my laptop and saw a post on the web about a dancing school in Busan. I knew I needed to go and just see for myself. Who knows what I may find. It wasn't a plan but it was something. Soon I headed out.
********
I reached Busan and followed the address from the post to a small building labelled JUST DANCE ACADEMY. "I really hope I find something" I said to myself after taking a deep breath and finally heading inside.
An activity was taking place as I heard music. I followed the direction of the sound which led me to a room. Inside, I saw a boy dancing, He wore a red jumper with beige coloured trousers and white sneakers and had a bowl cut haircut. I was no expert when it came to dancing but, the kid was good. He is really good I thought to myself and gave a little sigh. I turned to a middle aged woman next to me. "Hello, are you in charge?" I asked her. She politely greeted back
" Ooh hello, yes I am in charge."
"So who's the boy, he's talented, there's something special about him, I like him." I said to the teacher.
" His name is Jimin. Yes he is special, he's one of our best in fact." The teacher replied. She then turned to me with a confused face." Ooh I don't mean to be rude but, who are you?" She asked
I quickly took out my card and showed her, " I'm Bang Si-hyuk. Nice to meet you. I'm currently coming a boy group and I'm still looking for a missing piece." I then turned facing the boy, " looks like I found it." I said smiling.
The teacher knew exactly what I meant and smiled back "He is a very hardworking boy" she said.
Soon the dance ended and I asked the teacher if I could speak to him. She nodded, gesturing Jimin to approach her. "Jimin, there is someone I would like you to meet." She said facing me. She then left giving us some privacy Jimin turned to face me, bowed and said "안녕하세요선생님( hello sir)" . I greeted him back. " "Hello Jimin, your teacher here tells me how talented you are. She didn't just tell me, I got to see it for myself as well.
Your really good. My name is Bang Si-hyuk, and Im forming a boy group, I only need one person to complete the group, would you be interested?" I asked.
Jimin first hesitated, not sure if the information was legit. I mean I really can't blame him, I would also be a little doubtful if I were in his shoes.
He then politely smiled at me. " Thank you so much sir for the compliment, can I think about it?" He asked.
" Of course" I said patting his shoulder. " It's a big decision. I'll give you some time. If you feel you have an answer just give me a call. Your teacher has my card." I said before leaving. I thanked the teacher and led myself to the exit.
Jimin POV
I was buried in my thoughts the rest of the day thinking about the man's offer. Should I go through with it? It seems like a lifetime opportunity. Could it be a scam? Why would he come all the way here from Seoul just to look for someone? My thoughts were taking control.
I was cut short, when the teacher summoned me.
I went to her office and knocked. " Come in.." I heard her reply and entered. She smiled when she saw me. "Jiminshii please sit down." I sat opposite her.
"Jimin, I know this is a big decision right now. And don't worry there is no pressure. I just want to you to know that I'll support your decision, whatever it is. But before you make a decision, talk to your parents about it ok?" She said politely. " 그래성쟁님( Ok teacher)."
*********
It had been a week since I was told about the offer. I had already talked to my parents about it. They said they'll just support me either way.i thought about it all week, it was my future I needed to be sure. I even wrote a pros and cons list. I mean, I never thought about being a kpop idol before but I've always loved dancing butwas that enough to say yes?. I thought. After thinking some more, I took my bag, waved my mom goodbye and headed to the academy on my bike. I reached the teacher's office and she was surprised to see me. I asked if she still had Mr Bang's card and she smiled.
Jungkook POV
Alot of time had passed since I came to Seoul. Alot had happened as well. We were given a week to settle in.
Back home, I had friends and all, but here I didn't know anyone. The members said they'll take care of me but I was still a bit shy to talk to anyone. I even got nervous around namjoon hyung once.
The dorms wasn't at all big it was just a simple apartment with 2 rooms, nothing fancy. But it was alright. I was so shy in front of the others that it reached a point where I always showered while they were they were asleep. I missed home a lot. I missed my mom,my hyung, and my dad.
I was not an obidient kid back home, I gave my family headaches. I even got scolded once. If only they could see me now, hyung would have definitely laughed at me. I chuckled when the thought crossed my mind.
The others made it their goal to help me with my shyness by engaging into small conversations with me.
That is just at the dorm. Back in the practice room, things got harder. Dancing was not easy. For Hoseok hyung, it was easy but for the rest of us it was not. He was a good person, He would always ensure we were comfortable and taught us we'll. It was comfortable talking to him. I would always seek private lessons from him. Of course I was always too shyy to ask. Luckily, he would see through me and invite me instead. But the guys were all good people. Namjoon hyung would always advice us to have daily meetings to get to know each other a little better.
*******
It had been two months, sice training started. We woke up really early and trained and by evening we would freshen up and have some time to ourselves before dinner time.
PDnim ensured we had at least ingredients for dinner. We would cook, clean up, do laundry ourselves. Seokjin hyung and Yoongi hyung were the best chefs. I didn't know anything about cooking, cleaning or doing laundry myself as my mom was always the one who did all of it.
Yes we all went to school. I was attending highschool in a few months, but the rest would always leave for school early. Education was still important, PDnim would always remind us.Seokjin hyung was graduating highschool soon as well.
********
One evening, we went to a restaurant,opposite the building, for snacks. When we came back, to the practice room to finish up before heading for dinner, we met another boy in the practice room. He was dancing. He didn't hear us walk in and continued dancing. None of us wanted to interrupt as out tongues were caught up, impressed by his moves.
He quickly noticed our presence and stopped dancing, turning off the radio apologizing. Namjoon hyung was about to speak when PDnim entered. We all turned to him showing our respect. "Ooh I can see you've already met." He said pointing at the new boy. " Boys, meet the last member." He said gently forwarding him to the front. The boy smiled, bowing " 안녕하세요 지민입니다반가워요( hello I'm Jimin, nice to meet you)." Before leaving PDnim said "Please make him feel welcomed." And then left.
We all turned to Jimin, and introduced ourselves. He revealed to us that he was also from Busan. The news gave me comfort. He had an angelic aura that everyone found charming.
I don't know how I felt about him as we had just met, but I was relieved as we were now complete.
