Audition day

trainee days @ sm entertainment

 

You reached into your bag once the seatbelt sign had come off to pull out your iPod. You tried to untangle the headphones but they were such a mess, you couldn’t be bothered. You found the two each pieces and pulled them apart, about to put them in your ears. A Korean boy with oak brown messy hair, double eyelids and tan skin leaned across the aisle and tapped you lightly on the shoulder. “Do you want me to do that?” he said softly looking at your tangled earphones. You gazed at him for a few seconds then suddenly snapped out of it when a woman walked between you two. You looked back at your earphones, then back at him and nodded. He held out his hand as you gave the earphones to him. “Thank you”, you said looking right into his beautiful brown eyes. He smiled a little and started untangling the mess. You were watching him the whole time and before you knew it, “Here you go” he said. You smiled at him and bit your lip. You put the earphones into the iPod and put one of your favorite songs on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rPV9aZsqM0

You closed your eyes and imagined what sm would be like, seeing all the idols like Super Junior and Shinee, but most of all... Exo. You started smiling unconsciously. You felt the guy across the aisle watching you but you didn't take much notice. You kept smiling the brightest smile you could smile and started giggling a little. You were imagining walking through Inchoen airport with Exo as all the fans chased you around with their cameras. You imagined dancing along side Kai in one of his teasers. You imagined cooking  your favorite food for them. You started to think about the English lyrics of the song. I see the light of heaven, it pulls me in, Walking on an unknown path. You feel that this somehow relates to you but you can't think how. You started thinking about you audition.

Finally that day of the audition had come. You knew that it was really hard to get in, but you had a feeling that you would because you were so passionate about dance. There was nothing you could do to prepare for this audition, which is why its hard to audition as a dancer. Even though you might not be good at improvisations, you had a feeling that it was all going to come to you during the audition. You walked into the audition hall and scoped the huge space. The central desk caught your attention and you walked up to the woman sitting behind the desk. "Hi, is this where I check in for my audition?" The lady looked at you from head to toe. "Yes. ID?" she said with an arrogant tone. You gave her a blank look then your eyes suddenly widened. You rummaged through your bag, searching for a piece of paper with your information on it. You pulled out a scrunched piece of paper and handed it to her. She scanned over it, opened her desk draw and pulled out a big label with your ID on it. She gave it to you, "Put it across your chest and go sit down over there." she said looking at all the rows of seats. You zipped your bag and walked over to the seats, "Can I sit here?" you said to a girl. She looked at you, grabbed her bag and moved away. "" you said in your head. You stuck the label on your chest and waited silently. You looked around to see everyone worrying about their audition. Was it weird that you weren't nervous at all? You looked up to see a projector which was playing all the Exo teasers so you decided to just watch that. "Group 3A" said a nice looking lady at the door of the audition. You looked down to your ID to see that it said group 3A. At this moment in time, you were starting to get a little bit nervous. You took a deep breath in, stood up and started walking towards the lady. "One single like please!" she said so you slotted into the line. The doors opened in front of you and the line started filing in. There was a long piece of tape which you were told to stand behind. You saw a lady and a desk. Nothing but a pen, paper and desk lamp. They explained the procedure, and before you knew it, the auditions had started. You heard some good singers, and really good dancers and you started to doubt yourself. When it was your turn, you stepped forward with a confident smile. Suddenly the song came on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLPHAzDMVT4

All you did is dance your heart out, remember to present and look like you were having fun, which you were. After about 1 minute the music stopped suddenly which was a little awkward but you got over it. Since you were last, she just said "Thank you" and the doors opened. That was it. It was over.

"Can I get you anything to drink?" said the flight attendant. "Yes please. Can I have a lemonade please." She handed you a cold can of soft drink and moved onto the next person. "2 hours down, 8 more to go." you thought to yourself. You decided to turn on the screen infront of you and look through the movies. There wasnt much on but you decided to just pick one. "The Hunger Games". You'd seen this movie so many times but the rest looked boring. You took a slurp of your drink as it started playing. It was such a slow movie but at least now there was only 6 hours and 30 minutes to go. The flight crew started to come around with blankets and pillows because everyone was starting to go to sleep now since it was about 11.30pm. You could never sleep on planes but you decided to actually try this time. About half an hour passed and you still weren't asleep so you pulled out of iPod again and started listening to Girls Generation. You noticed the boy across the asle wasn't sleeping either. You were curious why but you didn't want to annoy him. Somehow, you managed to fall asleep by listening to music. It didn't really make sense but you were glad. The sound of the Captain woke you, "Cabin crew, prepare the cabin for landing." You started to organise your stuff at your feet and fixed your hair. Then you looked out the window...
