Chapter 6: "One Shot To Be Us"

Am I a lovable Girl?

We were all nervous because one week before the evaluation, we still did not knew which song or which genre we will sing. Because our nervousness, we had an urgent meeting to decide which direction to go.

-What do we do now? I still don't think the songs I like are good enough- said Bora.

-Nothing worthy of comes to me- added Young Ji.

-I didn't realize we will need many voices to do a good A cappella- I added.

-You don't- said a different voice from behind us -Hello, I am SoJin. I haven't found a group to participate, would you please allow me to do it with you?-

 

We all looked at each other, stood up an ran towards her to hug her. It was like an answer to our prayers.

-Off Course- we all said over and over again.

-What do you had in mind so far?- asked Sojin.

-We thought of doing it A capella, which we've been practicing our voices for- I said

-But we don't seem to find a song- added Bora.

-I believe I have the most time trainning among us, and one thing that I came to realice was this: to enjoy. Many of us trainees lose the joy of music and training due the pressure. I hope you don't fall down the same mistakes I had, so all I can say is to enjoy-

-Enjoy?- Young Ji asked -Enjoy... I wish Bruno Marz was here to help us-

-You like Bruno Marz?- Asked Bora. Inmediatly, a big smile was drawn across Young Ji's face.

-That's it!- I screamed while jumping -What is your favorite song of him?-

-Just the way you are... ohh, if an oppa sang that song to me I just...-

-We can make a mash up of our favorite songs!-

-Sounds perfect! That way we can enjoy singing them- added Young Ji

-And we can show not only our abilities but also how much we love music-

-But we will need to record our own voices for background, we can't do them all live- added Sojin.

-The recording studios here must be packed up by now-

-I have a solution for it-

I took them to "Kick it" recording studios to claim some hours of recording for us. On our way there I explained my situation, which they recevied very pleased.

-WE ARE SAVED!- screamed Young Ji out off happines after watching the recording booth.

-We are not, not just yet. We have to record and practice until we make it work!- I said.

Exactly a week after, we were ready to showcase what we had done so far. We were also second to last, so it gave us plenty of time to calm down our nerves. Although it was nerve racking, I believed in our team. This was the one shot to be us, to show how talented we were and how we could improve and come with different concepts.We were surprised by the creativity of the other groups and how well they prepared for their presentations.

It comparison to others, our "stage" was simpler and more natural. We sat on tall chairs and gave a cd to the sound assistant. As we presented ourselves, silence reign in the room. The day before we decided to make it simple, to give some details after the song, which was different from how it used to be done.

And we sang,

While we sang, we looked at each other naturally, some of us even laugh, we were having a genuine good time. When I saw that view, I knew that despite the results of today's mission, something far more important was being formed: friendship. And destiny has brought us together for it.

After our presentation ended, there was still an unbreakable silence. Which I broke:

-We enjoyed today's presentation, thank you for your time-

After it, we stood out and letted the next group present what they prepared. While we waited for the results outside, we looked at each other happily.

-I think I found the group I will be debuting with- said Sojin -If it is us, I wont complain at all, it will be worth they wait-

-Why do you say that?- asked YoungJi.

-I believe in magic, and what we did just there was it. I felt a... conection-

-Me too- I added -My heart was at peace, that despite the results, I enjoyed this two weeks-

-Look!- said Bora -The results are out!-

There was someone who sticked a piece of paper in the bulletin board. We waited until everyone else saw the results... We were third place, THIRD PLACE! We jumped up and down from happines, from seven groups formed, we were third!

-Please go back to the room- said the staff -The evaluation results will be explain to you, as well as the next mission-

 As we did, we organize ourselves in the missions group. The judges, which were pretty much the same as our audition, were constructively criticizing each group and almost each member. Then it was our tourn:

-It was a surprise to hear A cappella, it was greedy since you haven't train enough but trusted your vocals-

-Where all the voices yours? Including the back up vocals and instruments?-

-Yes Sir- answered Sojin -We recorded them ahead of time so the result of the song was more balance-

-Good call girls. There was a few reasons why you did not place first. Among them: detunning. You must work on that if you want to improve-

-Yes Sir- we said unison.

-The next mission is: individuality. What sets you appart, what makes you unique, a chance to show your strenghs-

As we were dismissed, I took the girls to a corner and firmly said:

-For me, it doesn't matter if it is individually or in groups, I will help each of you in anyway I can-

-I will too- said the rest.

We looked at each other and knew that despite being an individual mission, we had each other for support. There was not fierce competition among us, it was companionship and loyalty, we all wanted to make it together, as one.
