(Bold and Italicized letters are in Korean. Only bold letters mean that it is spoken in English.:-) Okay, read on!)

 

As Aedan was standing up another person entered the practice room.

 

“Hello trainees. I’m going to take you to your new dorm so come, follow me.”

 

After driving for several minutes they were taken to another building.

 

“You will be staying on the 12^th floor, Room Seven. Here is the card key, according to Jinbyul the eldest should hold on to this.”

 

“Ah! That’s me sir.” –Aedan

 

“Okay, here. Your belongings are all in there already and your roommates have been decided. Food will be provided and you will have a driver, but only when it’s a C.Ent concern. I’m leaving. Oh, and by the way, the deadline of your song choices will be tomorrow at 7pm. I think Jinbyul will meet up with you. That’s all.”

 

Then the guy left. They all climbed up to their room designated room and everyone entered.

 

“Ah, everyone? Can we meet in our living room after you’re done changing? I believe we haven’t been formally introduced yet, so we need to know each other so we can at least live comfortably. If that’s alright with you?” –Aedan

 

Everyone nodded and then separately went to look for their luggage on every room.

 

Outside the biggest room....

 

“Let’s check this first!” –Junjin

 

He opened the door excitedly then saw the labels on every bed.

 

“Kwon Yoojoon, Moon Junghwan, Lee August and Bae Juri! You are going to stay here!” –Junjin

 

“Can you please lower down your voice? We heard you, just so you know.” –Juri

 

“Ah, mianhaeyo. Let’s check the other rooms!” –Junjin

 

The other trainees looked at him blankly, they are all tired but this guy’s energy looks like he has just woken up. -_-

 

He rushed to the other room then opened it with force. Hitting the wall in the process.

 

“Oops. Sorry.” –Junjin

 

Then he smiled sheepishly at the remaining trainees behind him.

 

“Hmm, so the people staying here are~ Yoo Yongjin, Park Jinsol and Kim Junjin!” –Junjin

 

“Go on in!” –Junjin

 

He smiled widely and looked at Yongjin and Jinsol who entered the room.

 

“Hm~ who’s the last trainee in this room again?” –Junjin

 

He looked at the label of the bed again and read the sign.

 

“Kim Junjin. Oh! That’s me!” –Junjin

 

Then he happily skipped towards the room. The three trainees left outside just scratched their heads because of the guy’s goofiness.

 

“Ah! I guess I’ll be staying in the last room.” –Terrence

 

“Yeah, the three of us.” –Aedan

 

“Oh? You can speak English?” –Terrence

 

“Yes I can. And I guess Sean too, right Sean?” –Aedan

 

Sean nodded.

 

“Woah. This is amazing! Please take care of me! And teach me more Korean!” –Terrence

 

Aedan smiled at him then patted his head.

 

“Alright. Just go in. We need to change.” –Aedan

 

As the members were done changing, one by one they appeared in the living room.

 

“Okay, so our introduction should go on like this, you have to tell us something about yourself and then we can ask you anything. Is that alright with everyone?” –Aedan

 

Everyone answered with a yes.

 

“Alright, to be fair I’ll start off with my introduction. I am Song Aedan. And as I think I am the eldest here. I’m born year 1995, May 24. I’m the youngest child in the family. I have one brother and one sister. That’s all.” –Aedan

 

“How pretty is your sister?” –Junjin

 

“MWO!?” –Trainees

 

The other trainees all looked at him incredulously. The guy seriously has no brake installed in his head.

 

”What? I’m just asking! Look at Aedan-hyung’s face! His sister must be a real beauty too!” –Junjin

 

“Noona is a model. So, I think so.” –Aedan

 

“Woah. Your parents must be beautiful people.” –Junjin

 

“So is it real that you topped the CSAT’s Aedan-hyung?” –Jinsol

 

“Uhhh~” –Aedan

 

“You never think about what you will ask. Tsk. That’s too embarrassing to admit! But it’s true. I searched it up in the internet.” –Juri

 

“Wow, you are well ahead! But that’s borderline creepy Juri-hyung.” –Junghwan

 

“Then what will you do about your studying?” –Yoojoon

 

“I am currently on a leave of absence in Harvard. If this does not work out I’ll continue studying, if this works out I’ll temporarily halt my studying or I will continue studying with the distance learning program.” –Aedan

 

“YOU STUDY IN HARVARD!? AT THAT AGE!? ISN’T THAT TOO EARLY!?” –August

 

“He skipped several grades, obviously. You are a genius. Wow.” –Juri

 

“Nah~ enough about me! You praise my brain too much, I’m not that smart! We should continue your introductions.” –Aedan

 

“Still, you are so lucky to be that smart. Anyway, I’ll be introducing myself next. I am Kim Junjin, born January 30, 1996. I am also the youngest in the family. I have one noona.” –Junjin

 

“I know you!” –Junghwan

 

“What?” –Junjin

 

“I’ve seen you somewhere. Wait. Kim Junho, Kim Junah, Kim Julie! You are Kim Junjin!” –Junghwan

 

“Junghwan-ah, he just said that.” –Yoojoon

 

“Anniyo! I mean that he is the youngest of that family! Am I right!? He is related to them!” –Junghwan

 

“Are you sure!? That legendary family!?” –August

 

Junjin sighed.

 

“Yes I am. I’m related to them, Kim Junho is my grandfather, Kim Junah is my mom, and Kim Julie is my sister. Unbelievable right? Well, that’s the sad part of my life. I’m not enough.” –Junjin

 

Everyone was quiet.

 

“Anyway, how did you know about me?” –Junjin

 

 

“Well, we’ve met before and I do understand how you feel hyung. Now, let me introduce myself. I am Moon Junghwan, born year 1997. I’m an only son. I know Junjin hyung because I remembered being introduced to each other years ago. I’m actually here to prove to other people that I can follow my dad’s footsteps.” –Junghwan

 

“Now, I remember. Moon Jungseo’s son. That legendary idol, you are his son.” –Junjin

 

“Woah. I wanna say you both are lucky, but I think that’s disrespectful.” –August

 

“It’s hard, having to be in line with your family members, when you just want to be yourself. But I guess you can’t help it. Being born with our family isn’t a choice. We just have to prove to other people that we can step out of our family’s shadows right?” –Junghwan

 

Aedan patted Junjin and Junghwan’s head.

 

“Show them! Now who wants to introduce himself next?” –Aedan

 

Someone raised their hand.

 

“Go on Sean.” –Aedan

 

Everyone was looking at him expectantly.

 

“I just want to say sorry about how I acted awhile ago. I didn’t mean to be that harsh to everyone. I was just angry. So, I’m sorry.” –Sean

 

“Apology accepted! I didn’t think you mean that anyway hyung, that Jinbyul-sunbaenim is just too much!” –Jinsol

 

“Shh! This kid! What if we have CCTVs here? Then we’re doomed. Tsk!” –Juri

 

“Anyway, so I will introduce myself. I am Ji Sehyeon, born July 14, 1997, you can just call me Sean. Yes I am the owner’s son. And as you’ve heard awhile ago, yes, I was forced into this. This is my punishment for running away. But you don’t have to worry about my performance, I assure you I won’t do anything drastic that would ruin your chances just because I’m forced into this. I’ll still do my best, and maybe then I’ll understand why you all want this.” –Sean

 

Everyone nodded and smiled at him.

 

“Well you better Sean, you’re good! Who wants to be next?” –Aedan

 

Terrence raised his hands.

 

“Go on Terrence.” –Aedan

 

“I am Terrence Russell Evans, I am born March 14, 1998, and I am a Dutch-American. Please take care of me.” –Terrence

 

“Wow, so cool. So you can speak Korean well?” –Yongjin

 

“Not really, I just know conversational speaking. When you are all talking, I still don’t understand much.” –Terrence

 

“So, how would we help you!? We don’t know how to speak English at all, I swear, trust me, I’ll die because of nosebleed.” –Junjin

 

Everyone laughed at Junjin.

 

“It’s no problem, Aedan-hyung and Sean-hyung are going to teach me.” –Terrence

 

“You can speak English Aedan-hyung!?” –August

 

“August, can you please get it through your mind that, Aedan-hyung is a genius? I bet he can study anything.” –Juri

 

“Oh yeah, I forgot. :D” –August

 

“What about you Sean-hyung? How’d you know how to speak English?” –Jinsol

 

“When I ran away, I went to America.” –Sean

 

“You’re so rich! Imagine running away then going to America. If I do that and I live in Seoul, I’d just be going to Incheon. Haha~ plane tickets are too expensive!” –Yoojoon

 

“Well, I did work for my money back then, so I did not spend my dad’s money.” –Sean

 

“Well, then, it’s decided, Aedan-hyung and Sean will teach Terrence! Who’s next?” –Junjin

 

“I want! I want!” –Jinsol

 

“Go on Jinsol.” –Aedan

 

“I am Park Jinsol, my birthday is on December 30, 2000. Please take care of me!” –Jinsol

 

“Aigoo~ we have a kid here!” –Juri

 

“So what hyung? I’ll be good!” –Jinsol

 

“Be sure of that. I’ll be next!” –Juri

 

Everyone nodded.

 

“I am Bae Juri, Born January 1, 1996. I have been a trainee of C.Ent for two years and I’m hoping to be a Main Vocalist.” –Juri

 

Everyone clapped as Yoojoon stood up to make his introduction.

 

“What? No questions!?” –Juri

 

“Nah~ what would we ask? You did not say much. :3” –Yongjin

 

“Aish! This kid! Tsk! Then go on, whoever’s next!” –Juri

 

“I am Kwon Yoojoon, born April 17, 1997. And I’m here to provide a better life for my family.” –Yoojoon

 

“Wow, look at him. He is really handsome and he’s so tall. Life is so unfair!” –Junjin

 

Everyone laughed at Junjin.

 

“How tall are you hyung?” –Yongjin

 

“I think I’m bordering, 6’3” to 6’4”?” –Yoojoon

 

“Woah, I want to be that tall too!” –Jinsol

 

Yoojoon sat back down as Yongjin stepped up and ran to the center.

 

“I am Yoo Yongjin!” –Yongjin

 

“We have another kid in the house. -_-“ –Juri

 

“Please tone down your voice Yongjin-ah, it’s too loud.” –Junghwan

 

“Ah~ sorry hyung.:D So again, I am Yoo Yongjin, born February 14, 1999. That’s all!” –Yongjin

 

“Still too loud. Anyway, are you really a member of the Junior National Team for soccer?” –Sean

 

“Yes I am. I am just recovering from a bicycle accident when I found singing, and I love this as much as soccer.” –Yongjin

 

“Cool! And our last member?” –Aedan

 

August stood up and bowed.

 

“Hello everyone, I’m Lee August, and I’m named August because I was born August 1, 1997. I’m the only child in our family.” –August

 

“Are you really a Filipino?” –Junghwan

 

“Yes I am. I was adopted by my parents when I was 3 months old. So my ethnicity is Filipino but I’m raised as a Korean.” –August

 

“Woah, that’s amazing.” –Yoojoon

 

August sat back down and Aedan stood up.

 

“Now that we are all done introducing ourselves, I hope we make this experience worthwhile. Let us all do our best to show Celestial Entertainment what we are capable of, and that we are all deserving to be part of their boy group. And then let’s be long time friends whatever may happen.” –Aedan

 

“Yes!”

 

“And by the way, since we are all separated in different rooms, I want to remind you that you must keep your room clean. I’m telling you, if you have the dirtiest room you’ll be in charge of dishwashing, alright?” –Aedan

 

“HAHAHAHA!” –August

 

“And why are you laughing August? I’m serious?” –Aedan

 

“Well, in our room we are same age friends, Yoojoon-ah, Junghwan-ah and I. And we have Juri-hyung, so he’ll be in charge of us since he’s older. And in your room they have you, Aedan-hyung and you are responsible too. But in the second room all we have are kids. Hahaha~” –August

 

“Mwo!? Yongjin-ah and Jinsol-ah have me! And I’m an adult!” –Junjin

 

“Yeah~ we have Junjin-hyung!” –Yongjin

 

“NAE!” –Jinsol

 

All the other trainees looked at each other.

 

“Ah, yeah. The second room is a children’s room.” –Sean
