Act 1. You've Been Chosen

3 Meters Above The Sky

It was a comet.

Fate is like a strange; unpopular restaurant filled with odd waiters, the ones will bring you things you never asked for and not always like. Have you ever stop and look at those prestigious schools wondering what makes them so especial? No? Then you haven't heard about JYP Nation, one of the most desired schools in the whole world. However is almost impossible to get accepted into that school, even people with power had a hard time putting their child's there. They had to put the names of their kids when they are still in the womb in a waiting list and it wasn't 100% warrantied that they would actually get in. For the lower class it was like a dream,something they could only read or hear about, because the only thing they could see was " JYP 1st Place in academics" "1st place in the research for the cure of Cancer" "1 place on mathematics competition" so people knew they could never have a chance to enter. JYP knew the power they had over people and for them was like how are we going to accept people without power no it could be a disgrace for their name or "honor", that was one of the main reasons they never offer an scholarship. But nothing perfect can last forever, and that's exactly what happen, one normal day as the principal of the school Mrs.Ok looked at the grades and school development she notice something scary their grades where starting to drop, as the smartest students started to graduate leaving the others behind, she was certainly not happy about this because she could have a premonition about the morning tabloids "JYP the prestigious school is not what we think?" and she couldn't have that reputation because she doesn't want to face the founder, no one wanted to talk with Mr.Im so she started thinking about how to fix this. 

"Ms. Lee call my husband now, I need him before Mr.Im comes back from Chicago today" she says to her secretary starting to freak out, as Ms. Lee starts to call Mr.Ok the one answers the phone saying that he will be there a soon as possible. Mr.Ok gets in his car and drives toward JYP nation once he gets there he looks at the school illuminated by the sun as he walks towards the office. 

"you called?" he ask once he gets there looking at his wife. 

"No" she says 

"Cut the sarcasm" 

"don't ask stupid questions then" 

"What you need Noona?"

"Look at this, I can't believe it we are supposed to be the best, and now we are getting ruined by public schools" she says throwing the papers in the table as Mr.Ok walks looking at the graphs and statistics which look pretty bad. Mr.Ok looks at his wife with a done face, as he walks towards her computer.

"Mr.Im is going to kill you, so we need to fix this now"

"what should we do?"

"start giving scholarships to genius level kids on public school" says Mr. Ok as she nods and ask him to search them for her, as Mr.Ok looks at the candidates, many of the kids had already been accepted into other prestigious schools, he starts looking at her without hope when he sees some hope in a Senior on a public school. 

"Park Jinyoung" he whispers looking at the picture of the smiling boy. Making him smile too wondering why, as he reads the information slowly. 

"what?"

"You need Park Jinyoung, He got the highest scores on national exams. Is a high honor's student and president of the humanitarian club. A+ student since kindergarten, says here that he is taking AP literature planing to continue until getting his PhD. Many colleges want him but he hasn't respond yet"he says as Mrs.Ok looks at the screen, the boy is what they need, and the college section flashes Pending making both of them wonder why he hasn't respond to any of the other schools. 

"Go and give him an invitation, before he accepts Harvard or Yale" she says as Mr.Ok nods and leaves with a golden invitation on his hands, as principal Ok moves  back and fort hoping her phone doesn't ring until they get that boy. 

"Park Jinyoung" she wispers looking at the window

"as we know the fox gives tha last 'secret' to the little prince,the “secret” to meaningful friendships and relationships. And these, friends, are the fox’s final words before the little prince leaves him to continue with his adventures. He is now a changed prince: wiser, and fully equipped with relationship advice".Says Jinyoung once he finished with his reasoning and symbolism looking at his classmates the ones nod slowly, once he explains his interpretation everyone starts to applaud making the younger smile. He bows slowly looking at everyone, as he waits for the teacher to tell him to sit. 

"great job Park you may sit now. Is your turn Mr Moon" says the teacher as Jinyoung says thank you and sits next to the window, getting his copy of the book ready as the student starts talking.

"The prince’s love for his flower causes him much pain and heartbreak. Let’s try to understand her better to see what all the fuss is about...." but he is unable to finish when a knock in the door makes everyone turn as JinYoung starts reading the part of the rose without paying attention, the teacher goes to the door and opens it making everyone stand up making JinYoung stand up unconsciously.

"you may sit now" he says as everyone looks at the stranger in the one has something shining on his hands making them wonder what he wants. 

"good morning, my name is Ok Shin and I'm here from JYP Nation to give one of you and opportunity of a lifetime" he says as everyone starts getting exited wondering who is the lucky one, but not Jinyoung he is too busy reading the book he is barely even listening.

"JYP is doing that now that's amazing" says the teacher making everyone gasp exited, except Jinyoung the one has heard many things about that school and most of them where not good, but their programs are one of the best. 

"May I speak with Mr Park?" ask Mr.Ok making everyone turn and looks at the boy, the one is on his own world, as the student behind him moves him to make him come back as the blinks looking at everyone confused. 

"I beg your pardon?" he says as Mr. Ok looks at him smiling because they found their last hope. 

"may I have a word with you?" 

"does this concerns me?" 

"yes"

"alright" says the younger as he ask for permission to leave , while the teacher says okay and Jinyoung says sorry for leaving as they walk to the bright hallway. Mr.Ok looks at Jinyoung carefully the one doesn't look exited or fanboying, making him wonder why.

"You are smaller that I would expect"

"thank you for the remark Mr.Ok I've notice before. we are not here to discuss about my height" he says with a strong will as he looks at Mr.Ok the one smile thinking how the younger is going to survive. 

"I'm here to give you this" says Mr.Ok giving Jinyoung the pure gold letter as the younger reads "congratulations Park Jinyoung" making him breath slowly. 

"Can I refuse?"

"why would you?"

"Is not my place"

"is it Park ah?" he says as Mr.Ok walks away leaving a confused Jinyoung, standing looking at the letter on his hands as he gets back to the class room looking at the windows on his way. 

"I need to discuss this with my parents" he thinks looking at the door in his class room opens.

The cold water is what makes Im Jaebum wake up, noticing a young maid smiling at him as he looks closer to her, Trying to keep focus on something as his eyes adjust to the change. 

"Luna?" he says with s slow voice, as he looks at the girl looking at him confused. 

"Young master your mother is asking for you" says the girl making Jaebum realize is not Luna it could never be her anyway, because Luna didn't reciprocate the feelings He says thank you as he walks slowly towards the shower wondering what time is it and what do his mother want now. Once he is done he changes and walks out his room, walking towards the dining room. He sits in the table, asking for some bread and orange juice and the maids nod getting everything as he notice his mother looking at him as if he was a new purchase she made. 

"aren't you late for school?"

"not really"

"Today is the Grahams party and I want you to be there even if you have plans and by the way we took your car"

"but mom"

"go now" she says as he stands up and walks towards the exit asking the family driver to take him to school. 

"Can you take me to the party Ben?" he ask the driver the one looks at him 

"no I'm sorry Mr Im, today is my daughters ballet concert and family comes first" he says 

"I wish my family were like that" he says slowly as they get to JYP Nation as Jaebum put his sun glasses on getting out of the car looking at the school as the driver smile and drives away, only certain people know who he really is not that Bad boy image everyone looks at school. Jaebum notice his friends on their usual spot when someone bums into him and he looks at his clothes full of milkshake as he remove his glasses slowly looking at the shaking guy.

"I'm.. so.." but he is unable to finish when Jaebum hit him in the face making the guy pass out as he keeps walking making everyone scared, Im Jebum aka JB the only son of Mr.Im the founder of JYP. Jaebum has so much power over the school that everyone is scared of him even his teachers, no one even dares to breath next to him because they are to scared. He gets to the table without looking at anyone, he looks at Yugyeom,Luna and the Markson couple.

"Our leader  is here" says Mark  the others look at him smiling. 

"shut up" he says sitting along them as the people don't even look at them. 

"guess what?" asks Jackson as JB looks at him 

"You got Mark pregnant"

"No but is not a bad idea"

"what are we talking about?" asks Luna, while JB doesn't look at her and Yugyeom looks done.

"" says JB as Luna nods and starts talking about something important with yugyeom. 

"we have a new outsider coming, I've heard he got an scholarship..we have new meat" says Jackson making Jaebum smile to himself picturing, everything he will do to the new student. 

"you are going to the Grahams tonight?"

"my parents took my car, but I'll be there" says Jaebum

"you could use Uber( online transportation network company It develops, markets and operates the Uber mobile app, which allows consumers with smartphones to submit a trip request which is then routed to Uber drivers who use their own cars.)" says Yugyeom as Jaebum smiles at him, saying thank you and the bell rings everyone says goodbye going to their classes, Jaebum takes his time to get to his government class he just walks in the middle of the lecture no one says anything and he sits next to the window.

When the last bell rings Jinyoung walks slowly towards his bus stop saying goodbye to his friends, once the bus comes he gets in saying thank you sitting next to the window. The road is slow and gives him time to think what he is going to say to his parents as the bus stop making him stand up and get out walking until he gets home noticing his parents are already home.

"Good afternoon" he says as he takes his shoes off, walking slowly saying hi to his parents and leaving his backpack on his room. He walks towards the kitchen saying hello to his older sister Corgi Churchill, the one is not quite sure why is at his parents house because her sister's boyfriend loves Churchill like a son so they are probably visiting soon, making him happy because is been a while since Tessa was there.

"Hi Jinie there is food so you can eat" says his mother as Jinyoung smiles leaving the letter on the table, as he grabs some food and sit looking at his parents talking about, Tessa coming to visit as Jinyoung  eats slowly looking at the letter JYP give him it looks like real gold for him but he is not surprised because JYP has more power than any other school.

"what do you got there?" asks Mr. Park looking at Jinyoung the one gives him the letter as Mr.Park eyes open wide feeling the gold on his hands.

"This is real gold, where do you get this?" he asks looking at his son.

"I ear it, Jyp nation offer me an Scholarship" says Jinyoung without much interest

"and you are going right?" asks Mrs. Park

"I haven't consider the idea, because is not my place Mommy"

"how do you know if you haven't give it a chance?" she asks making Jinyoung smile fade, because she is right.

"I'll think about it later, I have to get to work,I'll see you"

"be careful sweetie" says His mother as Jinyoung nods and gets out of the house breathing slowly, as he gets in the car driving towards Uber. He works there since the beginning of his senior year, the pay is not bad but even so he has two jobs because college tuition's are expensive. Once he gets there he looks at the names in the screen noticing that he has a new client as he nods.

"okay I'm taking Mr.Lee" he says as he walks when the director tells him to stop but is already too late, as they change to route. Hoping nothing wrong happens as he takes"Mr. Lee" the road is calm and full of color, according to the directions he should be picking Mr.Lee really soon. but that doesn't make the road less beautiful, once he gets there he looks at the guy that looks quite young and worried, he lets him in as the guy talks over the phone with someone.

"good evening" says Jinyoung but the guy doesn't even bother to look at him.

"Yeah.. I told him that Yugyeom.." he says with an annoyed voice, as Jinyoung says okay and starts driving to the place wondering why this guy wants to be in an abandoned field.

"NO I didn't said that yugyeom... he has to learn the lesson anyway..." says the guy in the back seat as Jinyoung wonder who is he talking to.

"Yeah, my Mom said that...no I don't think she is.." he says as Jinyoung stops the car on the field and Jaebum gets his credit card to slice it.

"have a great day" says Jinyoung

"thank you, I hope you have a great one too... not You Yugyeom" he says as Jinyoung gives him the card back as Jaebum gets down.

"He was certainly really really strange" Jinyoung says as he drives back to Uber.

"I will see you at the party so we can continue.. I'm here actually" says Jaebum walking slowly.

"where?" asks Yugyeom as Jaebum stops and looks at the emptiness of the place, wondering where in the world he is because certainly that isn't the place he wanted to be.

"Yugyeom...I'll call you later"he says hanging the phone as he looks around him, it's a pretty view but he really needs to be a the grahams tonight, so he decides to talk with the Uber company telling them that he is in the middle of no where, they tell him that they will send someone and they are very sorry. He waits patiently as Jinyoung comes back noticing is the guy he just left.

"Hi " he says as Jaebum looks at him, and for some strange reason he feels like a magnet connected to those cute brown eyes.

"just take me here"

"I'm really ashamed sir, I got my clients names mix up. Sorry for that Mr. Im" says the younger in a formal way, making the elder a little confused wondering how old the younger is.

"Don't be so formal...My name is Im Jaebum but just call me JB" he says as Jinyoung nods

"My name is Park Jinyoung nice to meet you" says Jinyoung's voice making the elder look at him with interest.

"how old are you?"

"I'm 18 years old"

"and you already work?"

"not everyone born with a silver spoon JB Hyung" says Jinyoung making Jaebum shut up as he looks at the window nothing the view, but also thinking about the party he didn't even wanted to go, and now he has to pretend everything is okay especially with his family when is not.

"you look quite sad is everything alright?"

"I'm just thinking"

"you want to talk about it?"

"no" he says as the boy doesn't ask anything else and keeps driving until they reach their destination a huge house that makes Jinyoung jaw open as the air is knocked out of his lungs not even working his whole life he could afford a colossal house like that.

"I always hated their Summer house" says Jaebum giving his card to the younger which he says is okay, that he doesn't have to worry. As Jinyoung gives him a warm smile making him smile too, he says thank you walking away as Jinyoung drives "I like his cheeks,they're cute like a chipmunk " the thinks as he gets inside putting his façade on, laughing at the lame jokes and keep having boring and blend conversations when the only thing he wants to do is burn the house down with everyone inside of it.

Jinyoung finishes his work and goes back to his house, hoping his parents are not wake, but once he opens the door he can notice the light of the dining room on he takes his shoes off and walks slowly towards his room.

"sit we need to talk about this" says Mr. Park looking at his son with a serious face as he shows him the letter while Jinyoung feels like dying.

"we actually called JYP and they offer you a full scholarship on Literature Isn't that great? I've heard their programs are the best" says Mrs. Park looking at his son with bright eyes as the younger just breaths.

"I don't want to attend that School, they are going to laugh of me" says Jinyoung picturing himself been all alone as people do everything to make him feel less than them.

"Then ignore them, You're so much than them my little sunshine they chose you now prove what you are capable of" Says his mother as he looks at the letter telling himself that she is right, since when he cares what people think so there is no reason to be afraid at least not yet.

"I will prove them wrong" he says making his parents smile telling him they are proud of what he has become. He stands up slowly as he says good night walking to his room, he looks at his walls full of quotes by his favorite authors and posters of the covers of books. He breaths slowly siting on his old desk and works on his study guides as he wonders what the elder is doing and why he seem so sad. Once he is done Jinyoung decides to look at JYP in his old computer that takes ages to load, he looks at the students that are part of the literature program "In a couple of days I will be one of you" he thinks as he trembles a little by the idea of becoming their enemy because JYP Nation holds the most powerful people not only in South Korea but also the rest of the world.

"Im? I've heard that name before"he says as he search for the elder as pictures of the elder come with his family and alone"the only son of the founder of  JYP Nation" he reads slowly as he keeps reading about him "he was found alone in his house was attacked... one of the maids was found dead " Jinyoung stops reading feeling really bad for the elder. "Im Jaebum left the leader of the Yoo gang lethally injured" says the article as Jinyoung decides to stop reading, as he thinks he is playing with fire as he decides to go to sleep hoping not to get the elders attention because it could get really bad.

"Park Jinyoung..Chipmunk" says Jaebum looking at his computer screen as he moves the next article with his hand reading slowly as he notice a boy smiling holding a trophy on his hands."10 year old Park Jinyoung wins first place in Commonwealth Writers Prize, for his only work so far 9 Days.". he reads in the article getting quite surprised.

"he is a smart cookie" he says as he closes the article and starts with his math homework the only subject he actually cares and is good at. when his phone rings noticing is Jackson as he answers.

"yo?"he says as Jackson laughs

"the party is still going?"

"of course, my dad is returning to Chicago and Mom is going to Paris so is going to be an epic party" he says as the younger laughs asking if he should bring people which he says no because people just get there anyway, they hang up and Jaebum goes directly to bed falling asleep almost immediately , the next morning comes and he decides not going to school, so he has the house for himself. He walks to the living room starting to plan the party of the year, calling his friends.

"right now I have a test.. but I'll be there as soon as possible" says Yugyeom as Jaebum nods telling his friend is okay, as the Markson couple comes inside saying that is one of his best so far as the leader says that he knows feeling proud of himself.

"when is the party starting?" asks Luna

"around 6 or so I don't know" he says noticing Luna grabs her phone walking to the backyard she looks worried and says sorry all the time.the girl gets inside looking at everyone with a done face, as the party starts.

Jinyoung finishes his finals feeling a heavyweight leave his arms, he says goodbye to his friends, saying that he will see them in graduation. He walks towards the bus stop listening to music, once he gets home decides to take a nap because finals drain his energy. His alarm of the second job rings making him wake up and Change as he notice his parents are still not home and decides to call uber so he can go to his second job in a pizzeria, the work is pretty slow as he talks with his coworkers as the phone rings.

"Romero's Pizza how can I help you?" he answers the phone

"I need 20 pizza's by 9" he barely hears because of the music

"alright any topic?"

"just make every single one in your menu"

"okay have.." but is cut when the guy in the other line hangs up, as he tells everyone they need 20 pizzas making everyone start working, once they finish everyone is exhausted. The people start putting the Pizzas in the delivery car as Jinyoung says thank you, he drives toward the direction noticing he is going to the most fancy side of Seoul, where more than houses are castles, he keep driving until he gets to the most fancy one and also the largest one. Jinyoung takes 10 Pizzas as he manages to knock in the door noticing the loud music coming from the inside making him knock harder, as what he believes the owner opens the door but they can't see each other.

"where's the other ones?" ask a familiar voice to Jinyoung.

"they're in the car, I just wanted to give the first 10 first sir" he says as the owner calls people to help Jinyoung, the music is so loud hardly anyone hears him but the ones that do take the boxes of the back of the car, as the owner takes the boxes of Jinyoungs hands making the younger thank him as both Jaebum and Jinyoung make eye contact.

"this is a joke of destiny" mumbles the elder as the lights of the party make's Jinyoung's eyes shine.
