In the glittering world of K-pop, where fame can often blocks out beautiful love and destiny, a unexpected meeting at a pet adoption centre erupted a forbidden romance between a famous idol and an aspiring trainee from Beijing China. The national he...

The energy was palpable in the studio. There were approximately over 100 trainees there. You all were placed in a mock group with a name tag and dressed in your dance training wear.
You all sat on the available space on the floor, listening to the music. Anticipation was high in the studio. Soomin and Jiwoo sat next to you. You've already been training for two and a half years and heard about a new debut group that will be announced.
Jiwoo is deemed to be the best in your group. She did amazing in her evaluations. She was so modest in her estimation of herself.
They are here to determine who will make it into the new debut group.
Soomin, the reserved one, looked around the studio at the trainee's faces, " I can't believe we'd be training for a year and a half now. What a ride! Guys, we need to get into this pre-debut group. I'm so nervous."
Jiwoo's eyes were very wary as she looked around the hopeful trainees. She was one of those who consistently outperformed the rest," Guys this is the moment we have been waiting for, we put in everything to get here."
The fluttering in your stomach emerged again; your thoughts drifted to the contract you signed with your parents. It was clear: at 18 years old, you'll be posted back home to attend uni and forget about K-pop. The thought alone made you ache; There is no place you would rather be on stage. This was your dream.
Jiwoo saw the distress in your eyes, and she knows about your struggles. "Don't be so concerned, Yuqi...just trust and have faith. You will make it and accomplish your dreams." She looked at you with a soft expression, pressing your hand in comfort.
Ms Oh was one of the evaluators who stepped on the stage; the studio grew silent. Her aura was commanding and stern. The murmurs immediately subsided, and all attention was directed at her.
When she addressed the trainees, her melodious voice was clear and firm: " We need to remember that this is a fierce competition to the top. Not everyone is destined to make it into this new pre-debut group. Today is very heartbreaking; some of you will have to say goodbye to your friends. Some of you will leave us due to your trainee year contracts, some might go back to school, or opt to exchanged agencies. Just continue practising and working on your craft. Even if you failed the selection process."
As you sat there, you could feel the anxiety her words brought to you. Kpop is very competitive and hard-core. If you want to debut, you would prefer between 13 and 19. You are fortunately still 17 years, but Soomin and Jiwoo are already 18 years, so you must debut asap. You could feel the pressure mounting.
