Like Lightning

Description

It's difficult to be a trainee in SM with the harsh diets, gruesome dance practices, and language barrier, especially when you may just have fallen for an idol in the company, one who already has someone special.

But maybe it's even harder to be a famous idol, trying to perform for his millions of fans, when somehow, his mind keeps drifting back to one of the worst trainees in the batch.

 

Supposedly chosen to be the new visual of the upcoming girl group, seventeen year old Chinese-American girl, Rachel, is given four months to go to Korea and experience trainee life. However, it's nothing like what she expected, and she's struggling to make that final decision. Everything changes when a certain vocalist comes into her life, but will that be enough to make her stay? Or will she have to return to her old life and give up her dreams forever?

Foreword

The company needed another visual for the upcoming girl group, someone with a nice personality, someone's who is more genuine, polite, and humble. Then there was her.

They say that bad decisions make good stories.

Good stories for front-of-the-page articles, huh?

 

Because within the milliseconds that speed by while you're too busy to notice, anything and everything could change. The ignition of a spark, the flash of a camera, the blaze of lightning across the sky. Because when lightning strikes, it's sudden, rash, and without hesitation. Without room for error, and without second chances. Because when lightning strikes, what are the chances of being struck again?

Perhaps when you least expect it.
