F:RIENDS

My name is Kim Hanbin.

Age 20, a collegian, majoring in music.

Currently, I am a trainee at YG Entertainment, struggling to be one of the members of soon to debut group, iKON.

I have a dream.

A dream to be one of the best rapper in South Korea music industry.

*****************************************

I put on my favourite checkered shirt, neatly combing my hair, cramming my bagpack with books, and tidying up my room.

I glanced at the wall clock.

6:30 am

Ah.. Still got one and a half hour before the first lecture starts.

So, I decided to play with my phone for a while, opening my Instagram account, checking my inbox.. Checking my email.

Wow. That's quite rare for me to check my email. But something had drawn me to open and check my email.

I opened my email and.. My eyes were fixed on a email.

From: YG Ent.

Title: Trainees Selection

Dear Mr. Kim Hanbin

We are glad to inform you that you have passed our recent audition and have been offered to be one of our trainees. Please respond whether you are accepting or declining the offer. We would need your reply as soon as possible as we are going to arrange the practices schedule for you and the other trainees. Welcome to YG Family. We hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards;

Yang Hyun Suk

CEO of YG Entertainment

I blinked my eyes for a few times, and froze.

I am not dreaming right?

I stared at my phone screen, unsure of how to react to the email.

Until someone had brought me back to the reality.

"Good morning oppa!", my little sister jumped on my back.

"Eo.. Hanbyul ah..", I replied to my little sister, picked her up and kissed her cheeks.

"Jiwon oppa already here", said Hanbyul.

"He is?", I said with a surprised voice.

I need to tell Jiwon hyung about the email!

"Binnie~", I heard Jiwon hyung's cheerful voice calling for my name.

"I gotta tell you something", said Jiwon hyung, entering my room.

"What is it?", I said.

Jiwon hyung suddenly went to hug me tightly.

"I passed the audition!! Oh my goodness I am going to be a YG Trainee!!!", said Jiwon hyung, still hugging me tightly.

My eyes were enlarged.

"Jinjia? HYUNG!!! I PASSED IT TOO! I GOT AN EMAIL FROM THEM AND WOAH OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THISSSS"

I hugged back Jiwon hyung, even tighter..

We jumped and rolled on the bed and did some random dances.. Until..

I heard Hanbyul crying.

"Omma!!"

Hanbyul's cry has gotten louder and louder.

"Shhh shhh Hanbyul ahh.. Why are you crying honey?", I said to my lil sis, in an attempt to stop her from crying.

Mom heard it, and she barged into my room.

"HANBIN! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HANBYUL?", my mom said with a furious tone.

She went to pick up Hanbyul.

"Omma! Hanbin oppa and Jiwon oppa are crazy! Its scary!", said Hanbyul.

Mom glared at us with his scary eyes.

"Mind to explain, Kim Hanbin?", said my mom.

I grinned at my mom, before showing her the email that I got.

"Jajang~ Omma! I passed the audition~", I said.

Mom's expression quickly changed.

Well..

"Really? Oh Hanbin! I am glad that you made it! Its the start to achieve your dream honey~", said my mom, hugging me tightly.

Her eyes then shifted to Jiwon hyung.

"How about you, Jiwon ah?", said my mom.

"Well.. I passed it too omonim~", said Jiwon.

"Oh my gosh! You guys made it! Sometimes I do envy with you guys. Oh my.. I gotta cook something special for dinner later.. Jiwon, you should come and join us too", said my mom.

Jiwon hyung nodded.

"Nae omonim.. I will be coming tonight", said Jiwon hyung.

"HONKKKKKK"

Uh ohhh we gotta go. The bus was already here~

"Goodbye omma~ Hanbyul~", I said before kissing my mom's cheeks.

I tried to kiss Hanbyul's cheeks, but she avoided it, and started to cry again.

I guess she's still shocked and afraid of us.

Aigooo.. What an adorable little kid she is.

So, together with Jiwon hyung, we get into the bus, going to the college with a really good mood~

Our 1st day at YG Building as trainees...

"Huwaaaa!! Can't believe that we are stepping our foot inside YG Building", said Jiwon hyung.

"Yeah~", I replied to Jiwon hyung while yawning.

"Hey Binni
