Weirdo

A sea of school uniforms pour out a nearby high school and litter the streets of Seoul. The sound of laughter and cellphones ringing penetrate through the deep seeded focus planted by Rap Monster from up above. His body trembles lightly while his red converse teeter on the ledge of the rooftop. His eyes focused on a sheet of paper in his hands, he ignores the commotion from down below.
His eyes scan the sheet from top to bottom. He observes the letter grade which reads "A+" on the top right hand corner of the test paper. Fingertips glide across and mirror each other from opposite ends just before he pulls them apart splitting it in half. The repeated action breaks apart the paper into several tiny pieces which lay dormant in his clutched fists.
A light sigh escapes his body while his head raises upward to face the brightly lit sky. He raises his hands and then opens them allowing the oncoming gust of wind to blow the several tiny pieces of paper out of his hands and all around as if they were snowflakes descending down onto those beneath his feet. The students begin to curiously look around until their sights fall on him up above on the ledge of the roof.
They begin to scream and point as the papers float about throughout the sky. Rap Monster spreads his arms out, extending each one as far as possible, out to the left and right.
Iron: "can we cut the theatrics?"
Rap Monster: "huh?!"
His eyes widen and he quickly spins around. His arms wave amok as he tries to catch his balance. RapMon stands upright and stomps his foot on the ledge when he realizes that Iron was the one who spoke out to him.
Rap Monster: "what are you doing here?!"
Iron: "you're the one who's dreaming... I didn't put myself here... You did."
Rap Monster: "well, get out!"
Iron: "this is what you dream about? Weird..."
Rap Monster: "I'm not weird! You're the weirdo!"
Iron's arms cross over his chest as he slowly steps forth, closer to Rap Monster. His arms stretch out and his hands spread open, signaling for Iron to hault. He continues to walk toward him until he himself reaches the ledge.
Rap Monster: "I said get out man!"
Iron: "since I'm here... I might as well help out."
Iron reaches out his hand and smiles brightly. RapMon's arms slowly lower at his side as he lets his guard down. He smiles back at Iron and let's out a sigh of relief. Just as he is about to make his way off the ledge Iron's smile quickly morphs into a scowl. RapMon raises a brow and Iron steps forth.
His hand retracts then springs forth at full speed. RapMon's eyes widen as he watches him, unable to move he just stands there. Irons hand closes, only his index finger pointed outward. He laughs maniacally as the single finger presses against Rap Monster's chest and pushes him back and off of the ledge.
He shouts loudly as his body is propelled backward into the sky and down toward the now empty street at full speed. Iron steps forth and leans forward to peer over the ledge as he continues to laugh and wave. Just as RapMon is about to hit the floor he is instantly awoken by his actual body falling off the bed and crashing face first into the floor.
Rap Monster: "damnit!"
He rolls his body over on the ground, still wrapped in his quilt, he stares up at the ceiling. The beams of sunlight from its rise cascade gently along the furniture in his bedroom, shooting through the Venetian blinds. He sits up and looks to his alarm clock and groans seeing the time flashing across it.
Rap Monster: "...great..."
His yearning to get back to sleep is diminished as his alarm then starts to ring. He shakes his head and wiggles about trying to unwrap himself from his quilted confinement. Time flies by as he is just about ready for his meeting at the agency. He reaches into his backpack and retracts a cd case labeled "mixtape" on it.
He drags his feet and stops in front of a full length mirror in the corner of his bedroom. He smiles while placing the mixtape into the jacket pocket of his red and white Adidas tracksuit.
Rap Monster: "fresh!"
After a lengthy bus ride he has finally arrived at his desired location. His hand raises and he rustles his hair stylishly, he rolls his shoulders back as he takes in the sight of the agency. He confidently struts into the building and he makes his way toward the front desk. His hand slams on top of the desk startling the security guard positioned behind it.
Security guard: "can I help you young man?"
Rap Monster: "ah, yeah man! I have an appointment with-"
Secretary: "Kim Namjoon?"
Rap Monster: "yes?"
Secretary: "you're right on time, right this way please."
RapMon nods to her and then looks to the security guard, his hand raises, his index finger extends forward pointing at him, as his thumb raises upward. He winks and clicks his thumb in unison then proceeds to follow the secretary into the elevator.
Upon the doors closing he just watches the numbers pass as they ascend higher and higher. The doors open and he follows her directly down the hall. She smiles brightly as she opens the door to the CEO's office.
Bang si-hyuk: "Kim Namjoon, welcome. Please have a seat.
A smile spreads from ear to ear as he stands on his own two feet and bows, his hand motions toward one of two empty chairs across from him. RapMon steps completely into the room and bows gracefully before stepping toward and then becoming seated. He twiddles his thumbs as the CEO himself sits down.
Bang Si-hyuk: "now... I understand that you are in fact underage so we will have to have a separate meeting with your parents, but I just wanted to
Explain to you my vision before you actually decided to sign our contract."
Rap Monster: "oh, okay."
Bang Si-hyuk: "I apologize for not being able to be there for your audition, but the truth is... You didn't even need to. I came across a fancam of one of your rap battles quite some time ago, and I was instantly interested in scouting you. The only problem was that I just had no way of getting in contact with you since no one knew your actual name. So when I was told that 'Runch Randa' had auditioned I immediately told them to contact you and set up this meeting."
Rap Monster: "wow, thank you CEO-nim, I'm very greatful!"
Bang Si-hyuk: "now, you do know of acts such as 'Dynamic Duo', 'Supreme Team' and to an extent 'Epik high'?"
Rap Monster: "of course."
Bang Si-hyuk: "that is sort of my vision. A young up and coming rap duo, but with actual rap credibility."
Rap Monster: "a rap duo? Not an idol group?"
Bang Si-hyuk: "no, no, no, I didn't even take you as the type of person who would want to be a part of an idol group."
Rap Monster: "you would be right CEO-nim."
The two share in a laugh as the secretary makes her way back into the room. She hands RapMon a bottle of water, then places a file on the CEO's desk.
Secretary: "he just arrived downstairs. Do you wish for me to fetch him?"
Bang Si-hyuk: "yes please, thank you."
She bows to them both before making her way out of the room. RapMon removes the cap from his bottled water and nervously sips from it as he watches the CEO survey the file just given to him. As he flips through the pages RapMon's foot taps lightly as he then tries to calm his nerves. The CEO's eyes raise and meet with RapMon's before shooti
