“Airi-sshi, please take a seat.” Mr. Hong asked as he motioned to the mahogany colored chair. “Your eyes still surprise me a bit,” He chuckled. “You’re the first person I’ve known that has two different eye colors.”

Not once did Airi meet the eyes of the casting directior sitting in front of her. She fiddled with the clover bracelet that gently hung around her wrist.

“Have you heard of The Face Shop’s model opening?”

Not taking her eyes off the oddly patterned carpet, Airi softly nodded. ‘Isn’t the concept lively and bubbly?’

“You’re one of the best models in our company; how would you like to be The Face Shop’s new spokesperson?”

“No…” She replied almost inaudibly.

“What did you say?” Mr. Hong asked as he leaned in closer to hear her answer.

Airi shot up out of her seat and took a few steps back, “N-No, thank you,” she stuttered before running out of the room. Mr. Hong tilted his head at the young girl’s actions before sighing.

She quickly ran out of the building and into the nearby café and took a seat at one of the tables. Placing a hand over her chest as she deeply inhaled and exhaled, one of the café workers approached her.

“Ma’am, what would you like to drink?” Airi slightly jumped her in seat at the sudden interaction. “Ma’am, are you okay?”

“W-water, please…” Airi struggled to say.

As the worker went behind the counter to fetch a glass of water, Airi pulled out a bottle of pills from her purse and had a difficult time opening it with her shaky hands.

“Here you are, “The worker announced as she gently placed the cup of water on the table.

Congrats to dulcee/Park Airi! I know you applied as Paek Airi, and I am so sorry for changing your name to Park! Hopefully you don’t mind, but if you do, please comment/PM me! I will be glad to change your name back. ^^

But yes, applications have closed and I have picked all the girls. I changed the ages of two of the applicants to fit with their partners, so I hope you don’t mind. ^^ I shall be posting the next applicant tomorrow!

The poster is made by the lovely lottydotty! I hope she doesn’t mind me blurring out the other girls for now. ^^

“Noona,” Minjung’s twin brother, Woosung, called out. “We’re going to be late!”

“We have twenty minutes,” Minjung reminded as she walked down the stairs, “It’s enough time.”

Woosung scowled at his sister’s carefree attitude, “I packed our lunch, but we don’t have enough time to eat breakfast.”

Minjung nodded and grabbed her keys from the counter, “Auntie left already?”

“Ten minutes before you came down,”

“Good,” She smiled. “Time to go.”

Minjung and Woosung walked to the nearest bus stop and stood in line behind the fellow students and businessmen.

“I heard you were flirting with someone at school,” Minjung teased as Woosung’s face reddened.

“W-What are you talking about?”

“Tell me about her! Noona wants to know!” She whined as she started to playfully slap her twin’s shoulder.

“She’s a sunbae from my class, okay?” Woosung cleared his throat, “She’s an angel.”

Minjung wanted to laugh at Woosung’s innocence, but tried her best to keep it in. “Angel?”

“Yeah, she even has wings!”

“Wings?” Minjung asked as she raised an eyebrow with an amused expression.

“I’ve seen them before!”

Minjung softly knocked on Woosung’s forehead, “Did you hit your head this morning? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

“Noona!”

Congrats to crajee_/Kwon Minjung for being chosen! ^o^ I really liked Minjung because it had this really nice contrast from Airi. My preview did not do the character any justice, but as soon as the story picks up, you’ll understand her a lot more! Yes, she does have a twin, but he won’t be a big character in the story. ^^; As I was writing this, all I could imagine were the Kwon twins~~

Hopefully the poster works this time or I'll cry... I was planning on just blurring the remaining and unblurring(?) the revealed ones. After a while, I thought to just blur each but one to make it look a bit for origanized. ^^

“Jiyeong, you have some mail.”

“Thanks,” she replied as she grabbed the envelope in one hand and a pocket knife in the other. “I’ll be back later.”

Jiyeong slowly walked out of the rundown apartment complex and glanced at her watch. “,”

In the back alley of a deserted nightclub, a group of young men and women were frantically pacing back and forth. “Where the is she?”

“She was supposed to meet us twenty-ing-minutes ago,”

Jiyeong’s silhouette slowly emerged as she coolly walked up to them with her hands in her pockets. She was dressed in plain, baggy jeans and an oversized white tunic that was paired off with a black studded half-face mask.

“What took you so long?”A young girl harshly asked as she bit the skin of her thumb.

“If I wanted to get caught, I would have scheduled this at Lotte World.” Jiyeong shifted her weight to the left side of her body, ‘She doesn’t look anything near nineteen; saddening that she’s throwing her life away like this.’ Jiyeong shifted her gaze at the drug-addicted crowd around her, “You got the money?”

One of the young men with dirty, shaggy black hair and deep dark circles pulled out a huge wad of cash, “You got the stuff?”

Jiyeong grabbed the money and pulled out a plastic bag from her pocket with her free hand and threw it to him, “Have fun.”

Congrats to Jiyeong/Erika13! ^^ Forgive me if this was nowhere near realistic! I’ve never, ever bought drugs, nor have I sold them before. ^^; I was freaking out when I wrote the rough draft for this during class since I didn’t know how the business went down… I was about to walk up to the drug users in my class and ask them LOL. Yeah, I don’t think they’d appreciate it if this awkward Asian girl went up to them asking how the drug deal goes down. xD Oh, and Bell, I had to change the age of your character by a year so I could work with her. Hope you don’t mind! ^^

“Have you heard of the killings in South Korea?” One of the dance students at Beijing Dance Academy gossiped as she stretched her legs.

“The killings in Jeju, right?” Another student sighed heavily, “I wanted to go on vacation there, but I’m really scared since the killer hasn’t been caught yet.”

“Yeah, it’s been a year; you’d think the South Korean police would have caught the psychopath already.”

“Who said you all could take a break?”

The students’ hearts dropped to the bottom of their stomachs as they were surprised by their teacher’s sudden reappearance.

“Miss Lee, I thought you had to go back to the teachers’ office,” One of the male students said as he was trying hard not to show that he was afraid of his small dance teacher.

“Your legs look like noodles,” Miss Lee commented as she looked at the student next to him. “Fix it.”

Miss Lee walked around to check up on the other students, “Ai Mei, didn’t I tell you to fix your arm movements?” Miss Lee glanced at the boy next to Ai Mei, “Jun Jie, you haven’t been practicing at home have you?”

She lowly groaned at her students before walking back to the front with her arms crossed above her chest, “If you all can’t fix simple mistakes that I have told you to fix, what makes you think you’ll be picked for performances?”

“We’re trying our best!”

Miss Lee cleared and brought her arm to her waist, “Dance auditions tomorrow; whoever doesn’t dance up to my expectations will not be allowed to audition for the big performance in front of the chairman.”

“Miss Lee!”

“Give us a few days to practice!”

“This is too quick!”

Miss Lee turned around and walked back to the teachers’ office, leaving her whining students in the dance studio. “If you all really wanted to be in the performance, you would have already came up with a routine.’

Congrats to Annabelle Lee/FallingForCinderella! I had to use the backup ulzzang since I couldn’t find any nice HQ pictures of Apple Tao. ^^; Many apologies for this chappie and its plain-ness… I wasn’t in the best mood while writing this, so I’m afraid that my attitude kind of came out in this chapter. xD  Jaeseong, hopefully I didn’t make her too mean.. ^^

“Noona,” Cheondung called out as he walked into the bright, quiet café, “Sooyeon noona, where are you?”

“I’m right here,” Sooyeon replied as she stepped out of the backroom with coffee cups in her hand and a book in the other, “are you going to work today?”

“Mhmm,” Cheondung nodded as he placed the apron over his head. “Did anyone else come in?”

“Amber came a few minutes ago,” Sooyeon placed her book down on the counter and picked up a spray bottle full of water, “Didn’t you guys just end promotions? Why are you here on your day off?”

“Aigo, noona, I can’t come to work when I want to?”

Sooyeon smiled at the eager idol in front of her, “Don’t work too hard, okay? I don’t want your manager to come and yell at me again.”

“Unnie, where do you want me to put the milk?” Amber asked as she walked through the door with two boxes full of milk. “Cheondung, you’re here?”

“Yeah, I didn’t feel like sleeping in the dorm all day today.” Cheondung replied as he helped her carry the milk boxes. “Why did you come today?”

“Luna was having trouble recording her parts for the comeback, so she kicked everyone out of the studio from frustration.” Amber wholeheartedly laughed from the memory. “Unnie, where did you want me to put this?”

“Put a carton in the fridge out here and the rest in the back,” Sooyeon smiled as she headed towards the plants in the corner of the café. She began to water the plants and lightly brush off the dust that had accumulated on the leaves.

“Noona, is anyone else coming today?”

“Dongwoo and Minhyuk will be here tonight to DJ and I think you two are the only ones coming.” Sooyeon turned around when she heard customers walking through the door, “Welcome to Café Delight,”

Congrats to Sooyeon/KoreanGal5! ^^ Sorry if I didn’t make your character shine that great in the chapter. ]: To those who applied and were not picked, you may unsubscribe if you’d like. ^^ And many apologies for not posting this up in the last two days! I’ve been a bit busy lately that it was hard for me to stay awake to write anything! Anyways~ The story has now started! ^o^ I began to write the actual chapter, and it was frustrating me a bit since I couldn’t find a way to write it where it was obvious that you’re not all together yet… Aigo, did I write that in a way that it made sense? =o=; Anyways, B.A.P will show up soon!~
