"Mac.... and.. cheese.." Minji stared up at the begging Jongup and gently placed her hand on his face.
"Ya! What is Daehyun talking about, aish..." You gave Daehyun's picture a deathly glare, hoping it would be sent to the real Daehyun. Maybe he would faint while resting from a practice because of your intense stare at his picture. You didn't doubt you had such powers. Minji retracted her hand and took a picture of the poster.
"Hey, let's not go shopping today. We have applications to send!" Minji said excitedly and you laughed, grabbing her arm.
"Of course! Did you think I was going to shop when this," You flailed you arm at the poster. "has been found!" You pulled Minji towards the direction of your house and she happily followed.
"I need to learn how to make mac and cheese.."

You stared at the form, hands hovering over the keyboard. Minji looked at you and sighed. "If one of us get in, we'll have to share information about B.A.P to each other, okay?" You nodded as you easily filled out the first part of the form.
"Ah.. What kind of motherly qualities do I have.." You thought out loud and entered in a few easy ones like cooking, cleaning, and playing with children.
"You fuss a lot about things." Minji suggested. You looked at her with a scowl and wrote in 'fussy over cleanliness but still easygoing.' Minji laughed and lied back on your bed. You hunched in closer to your laptop screen and sighed.
"Hobbies are loving oppa." You said jokingly before typing in a few things like drawing, writing, organizing, eating, and playing sports. For the image part of the form, you got your picture from kakao. "I'm done!" You said happily and Minji got up again. After staring at it for awhile, Minji shook her head and pushed you away from the laptop. "Hey!"
"Your form is too boring. You have to make it more fun and memorable." Minji lectured as she typed a bit more into your application. You regained stability and leaned against Minji's shoulder to get a peek on what she was writing.
Motherly Qualities: can cook chewy, delicious ramen for the dads, cleaning is a high priority! The best when it comes to understanding children's games, I can make them laugh and play until they fall asleep! If the dad's can't make the children sleep as they tiredly sing lullabies, I will come in and with a snap of my fingers they will be dreaming of sheep! Not only with the children, the dad's will also be taken care of. I may be a bit fussy over cleanliness but not super strict and good company for conversations. A good sense of humor and enthusiastic!
If you had a drink, you would have spit out all of the contents onto your laptop. "What is this!" You read over it once again while Minji pouted.
"This is what they're looking for you know!" Minji said loudly, crossing her arms. "Who wants to read boring stuff like 'cooking. cleaning. blah blah blah.' They want excitement for the show! A bubbly mom who can liven up the lives of the tired dads!" You scoffed, staring at the form once again. Although... She was right that they want someone fun, not boring and generic.
"Fine.." You muttered and Minji adjusted your hobbies part too before working on her application. Your friend seemed crazy, typing at the speed of light as she giggled now and then while occasionally looking up pictures of Jongup to keep her inspired. "Ya! You are not 168cm!" You got up from your lying position and pointed at the troublesome 3 numbers on the screen. Minji cowered a bit, covering the part where she also said she was 100 pounds.
"Oh, whatever! It's not like you lied about your height and weight too!" Minji counterattacked.
"Not by that much! 2 cm! 2!" You yelled and fixed Minji's height and weight, being generous and making her height 166cm. Minji sighed and sneakily kept her weight the same, snickering quietly. "Imagine Jongup being disappointed and seeing you in real life, being much shorter than you were described." You said and Minji growled.
"Anyways, I'm done with my application." She said and you rushed over. You clicked the send button for both your forms and sat back, sighing contently. "Remember, share the details if one of us gets in." Minji said and you laughed.
"Fine." You pinky promised Minji and got off your bed. "Now, time to watch the rest of Hello Baby!" You said happily.
"Come here Minhyunnie!" Himchan snapped his fingers and whistled at the baby boy.
"I made you bibimbap!" Youngjae screamed, flinging a bobble head at the annoying and loud visual. Minhyun slowly looked back at Yongguk, wondering if just going back to him would be a better idea. Yongguk ushered Minhyun on with a reassuring smile so B.A.P's son decided to shut up the loud member by choosing him. Himchan lifted Minhyun up and ran around the room excitedly.
"Chan Himchan!" Yongguk said loudly and the members laughed along. Yongguk was starting to make calling Himchan that a thing. Minhyun was placed down again to choose one of the quiet, sad dads. The baby boy trotted to Daehyun and hung from his neck with a cute laugh.
"BICTORAY!" Daehyun shot up, lifting Minhyun in the process and stuck his tongue out at Youngjae who scowled and pretended to try and trip him.
The winning fathers got to eat with the children while the outcast fathers ate ramyun by themselves. But Zelo seemed happy to eat with Youngjae but obviously, the image of Yongguk wiping Minhyun's cheek while Daehyun fed their daughter an apple was cuter than Youngjae feeding baby Zelo some noodles. Daehyun even took a bit of steak, walked over to the 2 other fathers who ate on a foldable table in the living room and fed them both steak.
"Wah, DaeJae is so cute!" Minji commented happily. "Woah, woah! Look, Youngjae smacked Daehyunnie's !" Minji practically screamed and you laughed, shoving your friend away from the screen.
"Shh! It's almost over!"
The screen faded to black then the image that returned was all of B.A.P with Minhyun and Jieun in Yongguk and Himchan's arms. "Ah, yes. Well, B.A.P would like to thank all of the watchers of Hello Baby with rookie group B.A.P. We've been having much fun with our fan's continuous support." Yongguk started off, his voice rumbling as his gummy smile immediately appeared.
"As a special way of thanking our fans, the staff of Hello Baby has decided to get a mother of our children." Daehyun gestured politely to the 2 cute kids with a bright eyesmile. The rest of the members nodded to what he was saying.
"The mother will be no girl group member or comedian," Jongup began, his voice very sweet and cute.
"Omo! Jongup is so cute! Agh, I want to die.." Minji fondly stared at the screen and you immediately shushed her.
"The mother we choose will be one of you guys!" The cute maknae of the group pointed to the screen with a smile, his dimple showing slightly. His speech was a bit awkward but oh so cute.
"Right. B.A.P and Hello Baby will be taking in applications from our beloved fans and one will be chosen to be the mother." Yongguk ended off. The captions below his face was the phone number, email, and website for more details and with that, the episode ended.
"Wow, I could have known about this sooner!" You wailed, pushing the laptop away. Minji looked at you curiously. "I was going to finish the episode during English but Seungho interrupted be aish that kid..." You punched a pillow and Minji awkwardly rustled in your bed.
"Seungho probably doesn't mean to be annoying.." She whispered but you didn't reply, turning off the laptop.
"Anyways, you should go home. We still have school tomorrow." You got up from the bed with Minji and closed your laptop.
-- -- next day after school -- --
"Seohyun!" You turned around in the busy foyer and found Minji waving at you frantically. You hurried over to her and leaned against her.
"What is it my friend?" You asked happily. Minji pointed to her phone and you squinted to read the small text while students pushed and pulled to get past you and the general crowd. "Woah, they're going through applications quick!" You stated in shock. It said that Hello Baby would be notifying the potential moms today for further interview and evaluation. Minji slapped your shoulder proudly.
"See, I told you this is why you need to make your form exciting! The staff get bored easily and skip all the similar ones."
"Ah... I guess you saved me. Hopefully." You said with crossed fingers. "Let's get out of here and check our emails!" You and Minji left the school building and out of the gate to huddle against the wall.
"I'll check mine first!" Minji suggested and logged into her email. As the screen loaded, she closed her eyes and mumbled something so you did the same, wishing for good luck for Minji. "Augh, they didn't send me one!" Minji said, obviously disappointed as the (0) in her inbox flashed teasingly. You sighed and patted her shoulder. "Let's check yours."
"Okay..." You hesitantly took her phone and logged in to your account. The loading screen seemed to last hours as you stared at it intensely.
"Woah, you have a new message!" Minji yelled excitedly and jumped up. Your heart felt like jumping out of your chest. Would you get a chance to meet your favorite boy group? You slowly clicked on the (1) and crossed your fingers and prayed 1 000 prayers.
New Inventory Restock! Sales up to 70%~
"Ya! What is this!" You almost threw Minji's phone from anger. It was just an update on one of your favorite stores. Minji heaved a sigh and turned off her phone.
"Maybe next time..." Minji said and started to walk home. "You know, NU'EST might do Hello Baby too." Minji suggested and you just laughed.
"Maybe." You sighed once more and walked home, your footsteps heavy.

"WAH JUNHEE IS GAY!" You almost dropped your popcorn onto the floor while your eyes were glued to your TV. The newest drama you decided to watch was Reply 1997 and you were loving it. Maybe because you could relate to Siwon well. Just maybe. "Junhee oppa, chase after Yunjae well~" You the screen carefully and resumed watching silently. The clock flashed 10:56 but it was Friday and you weren't planning anything tomorrow. You thought back to checking your email and a flash of despair caught up to you. But... You did really like that store and 70% sale was very good... You quickly went and got your laptop and logged into your email. The inbox showed a (1) and you clicked it absentmindedly, wondering if they would have a sale on shoes or their jeans.

You happily clicked the second link and scanned through the various sales in the email. Their shoes were 40% but their jeans weren't on sale. "Ah, but at least I can get those wedges!" You thought and laughed. "I can't bel- wait... WAIT. WHAT?!?!?!" You clicked back on the laptop and looked at your messages again.

You stared at the link for a few seconds, completely dumbfounded. "C-callback!?!?!" You clicked the link and the page loaded quickly.
The layout of the email was very professional. The main body of text was mostly about Hello Baby and B.A.P. You skipped all of that and went to the very bottom.

"W-w-what is this!" You frantically picked up the phone and dialed Minji's number, staring at the message to you and practically wanting to cry.
"Hello?"
"You did it Mini-ah! I- oh my gosh thank you!!!! Like- like omg so much and CALLBACKS?! and like- MOTHER mother oh my mother... B.A.P I can see B.A.P MOTHER THAT'S LIKE WIFE OF THEM WHAT."
"W-what?"
"MOTHER MINJI. MOTHER. I GOT A CALLBACK THEY WANT TO INTERVIEW ME." All of the words just spilled out of your mouth and you could hear Minji's sharp intake of hair.
"WAH~ You did it Seohyun!" Minji yelled from the other end.
"No way! You did it! For me!" You felt happy tears starting to form and for the next 30 minutes, you spazzed together like young girls.
"You better go to sleep now! You need to wake up early and get ready to go have an interview and- oh my gosh okay do your makeup prettily! WING YOUR EYELINER! OKAY? WING IT. Use a pencil it's more cute and wave you hair and uh.. Wear pretty clothes!"
"I got it!" You said happily and hung up, falling onto your bed tiredly. My 1 000 prayers have been sent. Sorry for sending (1 000) to your inbox but my (1) was worth it, right? You though as you closed your eyes and fell asleep.

Never give up 힘을 내 꿈을 향해 Never give up
일어나 일어나 너라면 할 수가 있어
wake up wake up 걱정 마 잘 될거야 Never give up
너니까 그게 너니까 너 자신을 믿어봐 Never give up
일어나 일어나 너라면 할 수가 있어
wake up wake up 걱정 마 잘 될거야 Never give up
너니까 그게 너니까 너 자신을 믿어봐 Never give up
"I would never give up Yongguk and Zelo.." You mumbled as you shut off your alarm and groaned, stretching your ams. The clock read 9 am which gave you plenty of time to get ready. Your first took a shower and went on the computer while your hair dried. You even managed to watch some Reply until you made breakfast and ate quickly. Today, you decided to slightly wave your hair and as Minji suggested, did winged eyeliner. When you checked your appearance in the mirror, everything seemed about right. You gave a cute but mature vibe. For clothes, you chose a denim shirt under an earth toned pullover. To give a more motherly look, you also wore a casual blazer and got a black bag with gold metal accents. "Mother mission.. Start!" You checked your watch which said it was 12:00 pm and headed out the door.
You took the subway and walked down streets, checking the directions to the building on your phone every few minutes. You weren't the best at directions so it surprised you when you made it to the entrance of a large building with the address you had written down. "I'm here.." You whispered and took a deep breath. You hesitantly opened the glass door and walked into the building. Confident, bubbly, fun. You reminded yourself, putting on a light smile as you greeted the people in the lobby. There was a sign that read "Hello Baby Mother Callbacks" and it pointed up stairs. You went up, feeling your heart beat. The same thing was written on two large wooden doors. "Oh.. What do I do!? Ah.. okay deep breath.." You in a lot of air and exhaled slowly before pushing the door open.
There was another room once you opened the door and many eyes went straight to you. Immediately, you were flustered and your wall of confidence tumbled at the sight of several beautiful ladies sitting in a row of chairs on either wall. There was a cameraman in the corner, recording everything. You stood still for a good 5 seconds, wide eyed and confused until one of the girls smiled at you and patted the empty seat beside here.
"You can sit here if you want." She said brightly and slightly glimpsing at the camera which was on you, you thanked the girl and slowly took a seat. The rest of the girls resumed whatever they were doing and even the girl who greeted you ignored you and went on her phone. You fidgeted with your bag and scanned the waiting room. There was another large door that probably lead to the interview area. You looked at all of the girls and gulped, feeling your self esteem slowly flutter away. One of the girls looked like an ulzzang, her hair perfectly straight and satiny. Her eyes were very large and held black contacts. Her makeup seemed perfectly done and her style was no joke. You cursed under your breath and shifted in your seat awkwardly.
The large door opened and a man's head peaked out.He was wearing headphones with a mic and seemed very professional. "Ahn Jaerin?" He called out and one of the girls stood up, fixed her skirt and confidently walked into the other room and all was quiet again. You looked over at the cameraman again who seemed very bored, looking at stuff on his phone. With a sudden thought, you closed your eyes for a split second and cleared your throat. The girls looked at you curiously and some, even rudely as if you were interrupting something important. The cameraman stirred from his trance and stared at you.
"Who do you guys like in B.A.P?" You asked quietly. The cameraman picked up his camera and started to film. The other girls noticed and one even rolled her eyes at you, continuing to look on her phone boredly. The girl beside you sat straighter.
"Himchan oppa!" She replied happily and you laughed a bit. The ulzzang girl laughed too and raised her hand.
"Me too!" She said and most of the girls started to laugh. You couldn't believe this was actually working.
"Daehyun looks the best!" Another girl excitedly replied and high fived with a girl beside her. The door opened again and the man appeared once more, hushing the once active girls. The camera faced the man behind the door.
"Choi Sura?" He called out and the ulzzang got up.
"Hwaiting." You said to her and she smiled before walking into the room. It was quiet again and you decided to go on your phone. Enough confidence for today. Now, just bubbly and fun for the interview. For the next hour, many names were called and new girls came in every now and then. It was rather quiet after you stopped talking the cameraman gave up, going to get lunch. Im Dain, Jung Soojung, Lee Mingyu, Kwon Jaeyoung. Finally, at 2:00, the man came from behind the door and called out "Jun Seohyun?" You quickly got up, pushed down your blazer and coughed lightly. The new girls looked up at you with nervous eyes as you tried to confidently walk into the next room.
