"...and after you subtract that number from the equation, you should get x equals 12." I said, scrutinizing the algebraic equation in front of me. Yoo Ri's mouth automatically turned into an 'o' shape and she cooed in amazement, "Ohhh... So that's how you do it." She lightly tapped the middle of the page with her eraser before finishing off the problem with math scribbles written to the side. My gaze between the paper halted when I closed my eyes and stretched my arms up in relief. (a/n; Everybody feels that way when they finish a super hard math problem right? Not just me? xD.) "I got it!" she smiled at her achievement. "Gomawo, unnie!" (a/n; Thanks sis!)
"I'm going to show Appa (a/n; Dad) how much I got done!" Yoo Ri squealed in excitement, already racing out of my room with the workbook in her hands. "Y-Yah! Chak-!" (a/n; H-Hey! Wai-!)
When my mom was busy looking out the door at her disappearing figure, I snatched a few strawberries from the tray and plopped them all in my mouth, tasting the sweet burst of flavor splashing inside my mouth. She sat down in Yoo Ri's chair next to me and mumbled a few words that I couldn't understand. I gulped down the remaining amount of food and cleared my throat nervously. "Um... Eomma..." I whispered, tapping her shoulder to get her attention from looking at the door as if Yoo Ri was still there.
She spun around and I felt my blood rushing up to my face with my heart beating as fast as a rap beat in a song.
"Yeah? What is it?"
"I have something to tell you..." I murmured slowly, the bottom of my lip nervously.
"Get to the point already, we don't have all day here." She sarcastically grumbled, getting impatient.
I pulled out the competition paper that Kwangmin handed to me earlier that I hid inside of my drawer and confessed as quickly as possible, "I-was-at-school-today-and-this-adorably-handsome-idol-jumped-from-the-school-window-and-handed-this-poster-just-for-me-so-is-it-okay-if-I-can-go-to-the-competition-to-be-in-their-music-video-tomorrow!?" She jolted slightly and her breath was definitely taken away when I let out a string of nonsense with a bright poster shoved in her face.
My mom stared back at me with a bewildered expression and didn't gather enough words to describe how confused she was. I inhaled a deep breath before reiterating the unknown fangirling language I just said, "Okay.. Well... What I'm basically asking is... Can I go to this dancing competition tomorrow at the COEX Mall?" My mom pressed her lips in a straight line and she thought about it. I froze with my eyes twinkling in anticipation, hoping that she would say yes.
"Uh... No," she simply muttered, eyeing me with an unreadable expression.

In my dream, I was in some sort of fancy studio with a white backdrop behind me that continued to flow down and cover most of the floor. Huge lights dazzled from the ceiling and a giant camera was in front of me, along with several microphones hanging in the air. There were several props behind mefake painted buildings, a bench, some bushes, and a large pot that was filled with exquisite looking flowers.
There was a strange lady who I'd never seen in my entire life standing in front of me, applying makeup to my face. I actually appeared pleasant and natural, which was odd. The corners of my mouth were tugging upwards like I was trying to fight back a smile and some excitement.
"Okay, sweetie. Just a little bit more powder on your face and you should be ready to go!" the woman exclaimed hurriedly, already slapping some white powder onto my face that created mini clouds. My face scrunched up and I squeezed my eyes shut tight. Did she say a little?
At last, the crazy makeup lady fled from me. A woman who I assumed to be a costume designer ran over and brushed some of the escaping makeup off of my dress, and then she scurried off too. My outfit was way nicer than anything that I'd ever owned. Maybe it was because our family didn't have enough money that I could afford something like this. After the costume and makeup lady left, I was alone on the set; everyone else was behind the camera. Someone turned up the lights, causing them to become even brighter and more blinding. I shielded my face with my hand until I became accustomed to it.
"All right! Quiet on the set, please. Is everybody ready?!" a deep voice that belonged to a man shouted stressfully."All good, sir!""About time! Ready, set...ACTION!!!!!"
Some music automatically started to play. In my head, the only thing I could think of was: WHAT IS GOING ON!?! but how I acted and moved my feet made it look like my mind lied. I sighed, looking down at the backdrop and appearing a little down in spirit. Then, suddenly, some new people entered the set and gave me company. My eyes adjusted to the bright lights and I was resisting an urge to fan girl, but surprisingly, I didn't. IT. WAS. BOYFRIEND!
They started singing and dancing to a song I'd never heard beforea new song! Their choreography was absolutely flawless like always...It was amazing! Kwangmin was the first to break from the dance and rush over to the flower pot, retrieving the prettiest flowers from it. Then, he actually NOTICED me! He dashed over to me and held the flowers out to me in offering, giving me a warm smile.
I took the flowers and actually showed some pretty good aegyo that I never knew I had in me before... Maybe it was the lady's makeup that made me look close to cute. I smiled at him through the flower petals. After that, Kwangmin dashed away, (a/n; WHY YOU LEAVE!? LOL Sorry I'm ruining the moment xD)and I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around, I saw his other twin, the charismatic prince, Youngmin! He gave me a smile, a cute little wink, and he even touched my face! HOMAIGAH! Why wasn't I fainting?!
Youngmin eventually had to leave me as well, (a/n; NOOOOO!) but it wasn't long until Minwoo was approaching as the others went back to doing their choreography for their song. He was doing his part of a new rap perfectly, approaching me like he was going to take my hand and lead me away so I could dance with him...I was in the world of this new video, and I could tell that the director was pleased with us...All of my hopes and dreams were coming true...I was acting, but wasn't really acting at all...
