(Meeting Kan)

Jimin’s Pov:

She didn’t say a word immediately as she just shrugged and shook her head.

She looked down at her dress and dusted it.

“Miss…”

“I’m fine now. You don’t have to worry about me” she cut me off and before I could say any other thing, she ran over to the other side of the road and entered a red car that was parked over there and took off.

I stood for a short time, trying to recollect everything that had happened.

Her words kept niggling at me:
“You’ve really become this cute, huh?”

Or, could it be possible I had misheard her?

But I don’t think so. I think I heard her correctly.

And for some reason…she kind of looked familiar to me.

“Sunbae, come on, we’re running late” Lisa called from inside the car and I looked back at her and sighed.

Then, I returned to the car and we continued on our way.

I dropped Lisa at the elementary school and went ahead to mine.

We received the morning lectures and when if was 12 noon, I went off immediately to the Bighit Records musical for the orientation.

I was so excited about it and that was the only thing that could make me forget Jungkook’s hurtful words to me.

The Bighit Records Musical was so big and looked just like another high school.

I looked around in amusement as the driver parked in front of the massive building and I came out afterwards.

I left my mouth open and was be-dazzled at the beauty of the place.

The building was very big and round and looked like it was made of glass all through.

I took slow and nervous steps in and got into the first part of the building that looked like the reception.

I saw a lot of people there, all exquisitely dressed up. And a song by The Bangtan Boys was playing in the background.

Then, an average woman holding a file walked up to me not long after.

“You’re Jimin Ray, right?” She asked in a serious tone and I nodded affirmatively.

“Good day, ma’am” I added.

“Good day Jimin and welcome to the Bighit Records Musical. Mrs Jeon already told us about you and the only thing left for you to do is to sign the agreement form” she said as she started walking away and I followed behind.
She took me to an office and gave me a form.

“Do fill in your details here” she said as she gave me the form and I took a pen and filled the form, signing it afterwards.

“Good. Now come with me” the woman said and led me out of the office.

She sounded and looked very strict and serious and didn’t seem to be entirely friendly.

“Normally,” she said as we walked along together
“There are meant to be just three trainees in the section. But since Mrs Jeon herself brought you in, we had to compromise”.

“Oh,” I thought.

We came across a lot of rooms with people singing and dancing in them.

Then, finally, we got to a very big fashionable room and I figured that was where I’d be training.

I met three other boys and a man and lady in it and they all turned to look at me as I walked in with the other woman.

“Hey, Jennie, this is the boy Mrs Jeon brought in” the woman I came with said to the other lady in the room.

“Oh, okay. Got it” the Jennie – lady replied and the other woman left.

“Welcome Jimin. Please do come in” she said and I smiled and walked in.

“Good day ma’am.

“Good day, sir” I greeted both of them with a little bow.

“Good day boy” the man replied with a straight face though.

“Welcome to Bighit Records Musical, Jimin. And these are your fellow trainees” the pretty lady said and I turned to have a look at the boys who were all sitting.

One was very handsome, had a crazy hair do and kept himself busy with his phone.

The other was also very handsome and looked classic and he rolled his eyes at me when I looked at him. He was actually chewing a gum.

The other also looked handsome and charming and he smiled at me when I looked at him.

“Take a seat Jimin” the lady said and I took a seat close to the second guy.

“Now, I want to formally welcome you all to the training section” the lady continued.

“I’m Jennie Kim and I’ll be one of your trainers. As you all know, one of you here will be the next lucky loverboy. So, I’d advise you put in your best.

“You’re all going to train for now and after two weeks, you’ll finally do your presentations in front of The Bangtan Boy and/or the The Bangtan Boys. And whoever gets the highest vote among them wins the competition and gets signed in as one of the loverboys”.

“Sorry, did you just say and/or The Bangtan Boys?” One of the boys asked – the one who had smiled at me.

“Yes, Felix. And that’s because the loverboys might not show up. They don’t always show up, except on rare occasions” Miss Jennie replied and paused.

“So” she continued.

“Whoever gets the highest vote becomes one of the loverboys. But I must warn you, if none of the loverboys find any of you worthy enough, they won’t make a pick. And that means you’re all going home”.

“What? Is that even possible?” One of the boys asked with a cringe.

“Yes, Taemin. It is possible. As a matter of fact, the last two sections we had didn’t make it. None of them were selected and that is why you need to put in more effort so you can impress the loverboys.

“And anyone that wins the contest, like I said, will do a performance with one of The Bangtan Boys. And if you get a good recommendation after that, you automatically become one of the loverboys”.

“Wow! You mean I’ll get to sing with one of the Bangtan Boys on stage?” One of the boys – the one that smiled at me – asked.

“Yes, dear. But that is if you get to pass the training” replied Mrs Jennie with a warm smile as usual.

“Well, I don’t know why I have to go through this stupid training section. It’s just a waste of time to me. I’m perfect enough” the guy sitting next to me mumbled and I flinched.

He was actually the one chewing a gum and had rolled his eyes at me when I first came in.

Immediately, four boys walked in.

Whaaat?

Oh, my God!

The Lover Boys!

They’re here!

My eyes beamed immediately and my heart leapt for joy.

I can’t believe I’m seeing the Loverboys with my eyes, although they were just four of them. But their leader, Kan was among. My role model!

“Welcome guys. I feared you wouldn’t be able to make it” Miss Jennie said to them as they walked in and took a seat, facing us.

They were all looking hot, but Kan was the hottest; looking so stylish.

He was putting on a short blue leather pants and a white jacket with a pair of blue sneakers.

His hair was parked to the left and he wore a gold colored specs with an LB curve and chewed a gum.

He was damn so hot and I felt it was an honor getting to meet face to face with him.

I heard he was the only child of his wealthy parents and they showered him with unlimited love and money.

“Are these the trainees?” He asked as she took off his specs.

“Yes, Kan.” Miss Jennie replied and turned to us.

“Could you introduce yourselves, please?” She said and we all stood on our feet.

“I’m Lee Taemin” the first guy said.

“I’m Lee Felix”.

“Hwang Hyunjin”.

It got to my turn and I cleared my throat before speaking up.

“I’m Jimin Ray” I said, but he didn’t even look at me.

He just made a bubble with his gum and looked down at his phone.

“Okay, guys.” Miss Jennie continued.

“Now, you’re each going to do a little performance so we can know your experiences so far.

“Felix, can you take the stage please?” She said Felix stood up and took the mic.

Oh, my God!

So we’re all going to sing in front of the loverboys?

I kept starring at Kan. He was so good looking and I wish he gets to like me.

He’s my role model and I wish to be like him someday.

Felix began singing and I must admit he had a nice voice.

But he wasn’t much of a dancer – just like me.
When he was done, Hyunjin went up and wow!

He had a killer voice and was a crazy dancer.

No wonder he claims to be perfect.

I admired him.

After him was Taemin and he was also an amazing singer and a good dancer, but I’d say Hyunjin still beat him to it.

Next, it was my turn and I felt my entire system turning.

I took up the mic and went to the stage. I’ve never done this before.

I started singing one of my favorites – 7 by BTS – but I wasn’t a good dancer and couldn’t dance perfectly.

But, I noticed one of the loverboys were smiling.

“So, what do you think Kan?” Miss Jennie asked when we were done and he made a bubble with his gum and stood up.

“They all look boring to me” he replied with a huff and surprisingly, took his phones from the table and walked out.
The rest of the loverboys followed afterwards.

What?

Did he really walk out on us?

And why did he say we were boring?

Does that mean he doesn’t like us?

Oh, Kan.
