- You haven't signed the contract yet but already want to be in a BIGBANG's MV? - SE7EN greeted me with a smirk.

I got off the van that brought me back to YGE building giving a snort. It was statistically impossible for one person to go through this accumulation of strange things so quickly, what would be the next thing? A job interview for NASA?

- What a mess. - I said. - There wasn't a single person there who spoke English, it was so frustrating! At first I even thought I was being kidnapped, can you believe it?

SE7EN laughed.

- Jiyong told me that the staff was saying that you was acting so weird. - He told me without trying to hide his amusement. - Oh, Jiyong is G-Dragon, indeed. - He clarified. And then he pulled out his smartphone. - But look, they have also said that you looked great with the guys ...

Apparently, someone had taken pictures during the few minutes that I had been with the blond and the blue haired. That moment in which I was almost sure that I would be forced to film because nobody paid me any attention.

- Of course I was "acting so weird"! They didn't stop of telling me to go with "Top" and I didn't even know who the hell he was. I tried to explain a hundred times that this was a mistake, but nothing.
- The truth is that you look so cute together. Both of you tall, good-looking ... - He said with a mischievous grin.
- Ok, stop laughing at me! - I pouted, faking anger. - And send me these pictures. It could worth a fortune someday, who knows ...
- What is this pouting face? Don't tell me you're one of those bad girls with hidden aegyo ...
- With what? - I frowned, not understanding.
- Doesn't matter. Uh ... Can we talk for a moment here before going back out with your friends?

His amusement faded to give way to a more serious expression. He didn't have to tell me what he wanted to talk.

- Listen, I really want you to consider signing the contract, seriously. Even if it's crazy and no telling what can come out of all this, I think you should sign. Even if your friends don't.- He said. - You've liked YG, he have seen potential in you. And not because you have talent, it is clear that the three of you have, but because you have charisma and it is much harder to find. I'm sure if you had been from here and the circumstances were different, he wouldn't have hesitated a moment to ask you to join YG Entertainment.

- Ah ...I can assure you that I'm thinking it so seriously that it gives me even fear. Even I, who have no idea of how the Korean music industry works, know that this is a unique opportunity in life. But It's supposed that I wanna be a musical actress, not a "K-Pop Star". It sounds so absurd!

- I think we both know that deep down you've already made the decision but you are scared to recognize it.

I sighed. That situation reminded me of when I was ten and my brother Aidan persuaded me to watch a movie that looked to be terrifying. He insisted again and again, and although at first I always said no, I basically knew that I would end watching it. Because curiosity and uncertainty always won to fear and as it said, it's better to regret what you have done than what you haven't.
That time I had nightmares for weeks, but now it was one of my favorite horror movies.

- Remember to open the windows of your bedroom tonight. - I suddenly said.
- What? Why? - Asked SE7EN, puzzled.
- Because the hysterical screams of my mother will be able to be heard from there for sure. - I gave a hint of a smile. - Probably, she will also send a police patrol to pick me. Or will reserve me a room in an asylum for life.
- I knew you would stay here! - He happily exclaimed. - And Jiyong also said you were too "YG" to not sign.
- I don't know how to take that ...

Finally, we went back inside the building. Despite I took a load off to acknowledge aloud that I wanted to stay, I was scared as hell with my decision. I was sure that no one in my family would take it well and I worried very much that Tamsin and Izzy leave, I didn't want to do it without them.
We found the girls in a different empty room to the first where we had been. Isabelle was sleeping with her head on a table, and Tamsin was eating crisps.

- It was time! - Exclaimed the second one. - We lose you sight for a moment and you end in the filming of a videoclip, what a fame hunger!
- Oh, shut up.
- What a fantastic face so suddenly. - Izzy added after a yawn - And by that I don't mean that it wasn't fantastic before, but now there aren't signs in you that a madman has made us to get up at ungodly hour today.
- Eight o'clock is an ungodly hour? - SE7EN intervened raising an eyebrow.
- Welcome to the world of professional makeup. - I said winking to she. Then I looked them more seriously. - Hmm... Girls ...
- Oh no, I know that look! - Tamsin pointed me with an accusing finger. - You want to sign!

If looks could kill, the which one gave me Isabelle would have struck me within seconds.

- I told you. - She told Tamsin.
- Come on, Izzy ... - I sighed.

SE7EN discreetly retired to a corner of the room to leave us some space. I began to argue all I had mentioned throughout this morning about why it seemed a good idea to stay, knowing that my words were making me look much more confident in my decision of what actually was. But that was what I wanted.

- I won't ask you to sign with me. - I said. - But I think that deep down you know I'm right, and regardless of what you'll do I'll stay.
- And Natasha The Manipulative makes her entrance ... - Izzy smirked. - Do you think I can't see you coming? It is your passive-aggressive technique. Faking indifference by saying that you'll do it anyway, so then we'll feel guilty and we'll end convincing ourselves.

. Isabelle knowed me too well.
So, having no sense still maintain that stance ...

- Please please please! - I pouted for the second time in less than an hour. - Surely It will be cool. It's just one year and time flies! It will be like taking free lessons.
- Of Korean, my dream come true! - She said with sarcasm.

Tamsin could not help laughing. We soon join their laughter.

- Do you know that my father forced me to learn Chinese for three years? - Izzy suddenly revealed. - You're going to see how fun is to learn to write with such a different alphabet...
- Wait, does that mean that...? - I held my breath.
- ... I guess. - She answered reluctantly.
- YES!! - I screamed - Yes, yes, yes !!

I started hopping with joy hysterically until I passed it on to the rest, even Isabelle laughed.

- You better not make me regret this. - She warned me.
- So we stay? - Tamsin wanted to know.
- That seems!
- I'm glad you've made this decision. - SE7EN said, coming back. - Are we going to see YG, then?

Meanwhile, in the filming set of ‘Blue’...

- Hyung! - Seungri sat next to G-Dragon during the lunch break. - Who was the blonde from before? She was hot. - He added with a smirk.
- Seungri-ah ... Always thinking the same thing. - He replied.
- I'm young, free and y, hyung. It can't be helped.

Taeyang, T.O.P and Daesung joined them at that moment.

- Who is y? - The first of them wanted to know.
- Apart from the obvious. - He pointed to himself with an overconfident grin. - The blonde from before, the wrong model. Although the right one is not bad either... Yah, stop hyung! - He turned towards T.O.P upset, who was trying to stick a chopstick through his ear.
- Ah! That was one of the three girls that Jiyong and I have told you, those of this morning. - Taeyang explained.
- Really? And they are going to stay here? - Seungri asked, interested. - You have to introduce me to her! Actually, You have to introduce me to the three if the others are hot too... Hyung! - T.O.P was teasing him with the chopstick again. - Stop it!
- Stay here? YG-Sajangnim wants them in the label? - Asked Daesung surprised.
- Strange, right? He wants more especially the one who has come here. - Taeyang said. - Dongwook-hyung and Jiyong also liked she.

All heads turned to the leader, curiously.

- Yeah, she's good. - GD vaguely replied without looking up from his meal.

Later in the day...

- Are you kidding us?

The three of us were frozen in the doorway of the dorm that over the next year, was supposed to would be our home. But say "home" was like an euphemism, because the dorm was so small it was not even the size of the dressing room of my mom. As soon as you walked inside, there was a room that only consisted of a sofa, a small table, a TV and a kitchen with the minimum (refrigerator, sink and little else). And then the room was linked with two other through two doors. Only two.

- Tell me we aren't going to have to share bathroom ... - Tamsin moaned.
- Bathroom? We're going to have to share up bedroom!

I walked to the first door and sure enough, I found a bedroom with a bunk bed and a single bed.
The three looked at each other with a face of absolute horror. In our entire life, we hadn't had to share anything. Until now, it seemed.

- I want to split the contract right now! - Isabelle said.

- Aren't you being a little exaggerated? - SE7EN intervened. - All trainee's dorms are like this and none has complained until now. You would have to compare them with those it there was in my era ...
- But if it's a shoebox! - Izzy complained again.

Well, to be fair it wasn't that bad. It was tiny, yes, but it was spotless, the furnishings were new and had plenty of light. Simply we hadn't the faintest idea of how we would be able to coexist in such a confined space, or where we would put all our stuff.

- They couldn't give us one like this to each one? - I chanced. - As we will be isolated from society, no one will know.
- Yes! - Tamsin supported me. - It will be our secret.
- If we stay here the three, probably we will have killed to each other before the week finish. - I ensured him.

SE7EN laughed.

- You'll have all week to get settled, until next Monday you musn't start with the lessons. - He said. - I think you will have enough time to adapt.
- If we survive ... - I made the point.
- Natasha, I'll remember you this forever. - Isabelle assured.

I didn't doubt it.
It would be a very long year, but perhaps also out decisive.
