Chapter 1: Prologue
You are standing in line at a cafe called "Autumn Sun" at the peak of the lunch rush. You wipe the sweat from your fore head as you pull out your phone to see that the weather is 92 degrees. "Excuse me..." Someone says behind you as you place your phone back in your pocket. You turn around to see a tall business looking man around 6´3 with a black suit on. He smiled and handed you his card. "My name is Choi Junyeol. I am a talent recruit from Big Hit Entertainment." You look at the card in your hand and look back up at him. "I have no talent sir." You say politely. He laughed. "Oh no, you have a great body and your just beautiful and stunning. I was recruiting you for a model casting call for a photo shoot. The audition is tomorrow and if you get it there is a $900 a week paycheck if your really good." You looked at the man, then at the card, then back at the man.
You have been working as a delivery girl making $150 every 5 deliveries and living in a broken down car ever since your ran from home 4 months ago. You nod your head and Junyeol smiled brightly at you. "That´s fantastic! How about we sit and talk." You nod your head and choose a window table that had a good view of the busy lunch traffic and the tall apartment buildings across the street. Junyeol sat down and handed you the smoothie you ordered and he pulled out some paper. "So let´s fill out this application" He hands you an application.
You read it and remember that you are actually from a very powerful family and the reason why you ran away is because they were going to force you to marry this man that already hits you and beats you even though you two were not even together. Your parents died a week before you ran away and in their will they said they wanted you to marry that awful man. Refusing to marry him, you ran away from him and he has been looking for you because in the will it states that all your family´s assets (like 300 billion dollars) will go to your husband.
You look at the application again and put a fake name as Kim Sara and that you moved to Korea from Japan 3 weeks ago since you were fluent in English, Japanese, and Korean and that you live in a hotel and have no permanent residence. You gave the application back to Junyeol and he put it in his brief case. You two talked about the weather and everything and then you got a call from your boss saying you had a delivery. "Well , I have to get back to work." You said while picking up your helmet and your smoothie. Junyeol stood up also and walked you outside to your pink motorcycle that you ran away with. You got on and started it up and looked at Junyeol who was looking at your motorcycle. "I hope to see you tomorrow 8:45 am sharp?" You smile and put your helmet on. You nodded and gave Junyeol your empty smoothie cup and rode off down the street.
He said that there was 25 recruiters out that had to recruit one girl and if that girl was chosen then both the recruiter and the girl get jobs. Even though he had a job there, he was like an intern not a permanent employee. So he put all his faith in you just you showing up tomorrow. You drove back to work and finished your last 4 deliveries of the day. As you drove back to the junk yard where a old man let you stay in a broken down R.V., you waved at him as you turned in. You stopped and he walked up to you with a small bento box. "My wife said to give this to you. You have been living in that R.V. for 4 months now without any water,heat, or electricity. I surprised you made it this long, but I want to thank you for getting up every morning and cleaning the shop for me. If it wasn´t for you, this place would´ve been really dusty."
You took off your helmet and looked at the old man with a smile. His name was and his wife was . You took the box and said "Well you and are like my parents and I really don´t mind. It´s the least I can do since your son is in college. Here go some money to pay your son. I heard you and this morning and I know that the money that I give you for rent goes straight to his tuition and spending needs and that it was not enough though so I did more deliveries this month so I made $5,000 this month so you can have it all." He shook his head. "You can get a small apartment or a share room with heating and electricity for that." You shook your head and took the envelope that your boss gave you and put it in his hand. "I´m fine . I´ve been paying your son´s way through college for this long and I am just fine."
He started to cry and you gave him a hug. Then you pushed your motorcycle into their garage and walked through the junk yard till you got to your red R.V. you opened the door and used your phone´s flashlight and you lit candles and a few old school lamps. You grabbed your clothes that you were going to wear to the audition which consisted of a simple white tee that you bought 2 weeks ago from a street vendor that said "Lovely" and your lucky skirt that your mom bought you for your 17th birthday that was leather and was loose and came to your middle thigh. You grabbed your favorite cat leggings and your black high heeled sneakers with golden zippers on the side and golden shoelaces. You grab your bath bag which had 2 bars of soap and a bottle of shampoo and a comb and brush and a small towel and a big towel.
You walked outside and went to the waterfall that was a 2 mile walk from the junkyard. When you arrived, the moon´s light shined on the small lake and waterfall. You stripped nude and washed your body with your soap and washed your hair with your shampoo. You stood under the waterfall and washed all the soap off. You set in the lake for a little while longer and then dried off. You brushed and combed your hair. Then you got short thick sticks and washed them in the lake with shampoo and covered them with gel. Then you wrapped your hair around the sticks and pinned them up with other sticks. You then put on your bra, white shirt, thong, tights, skirt, and put on your high heeled sneakers. You put everything else back in your bath backpack and took the long walk back to your R.V. with sticks in your hair but feeling refreshed from the first bath in 2 weeks. You felt like a true nature girl.
When you returned to your R.V. you placed your backpack down and plugged your phone into the portable charger and fell asleep. Your phone alarm rang at 7:00 am and you got up and picked up your water bottle and toothbrush and tooth paste. You took off your high heeled sneakers and put on your running shoes. You used the water to brush your teeth and then you ran 3 laps around the junk yard and cleaned the junk yard´s office. When you returned to the R.V. it was 7:45. You pulled out your black leather backpack and put your portable charger, your phone, the R.V. key and some black leather pants, the bento box, and your running shoes in it. You went into the R.V.´s bathroom and removed the sticks from your pitch black hair and your hair fell in perfect curls down your back to your calves. You then put up your hair in a bun to preserve your perfect curls. You perfected the curling technique with sticks after you got a job as a bartender a month ago and it was now useful.
You put on the backpack and left the R.V. You walked to the Hong´s house and got your motorcycle out the garage and said goodbye to who was making breakfast for . Once on the road, you pulled into the Big Hit Entertainment parking lot. You took your phone out your backpack and the time was 8:23 am. You highfived yourself mentally for being early. You saw around 15 men patiently waiting at the doors. Among them your saw Junyeol impatiently looking at his watch. You walked up to him and the men looked at your with wide eyes. Junyeol smiled really brightly. "Sara Your Here. I told you the wrong time. It was actually 8:30 so I am very happy that you came early. These fools here told their girls that same thing but they haven´t shown yet and the judges have a strict thing about being late. They say "If your early then your never late." Oh happy I am right now. Let´s go. Do you have any makeup on?" You shook your head and the men beside you gasps and started murmuring. Then half of them grew angry and walked away. "I don´t wear makeup and what´s wrong with them?" He laughed and we walked into the building. "They just know that the pink eyed beauty just won the whole competition." I looked at him still confused and then looked around the building.
The inside was fancy with pillars and white couches and a big white glass statue in the middle of some balls. You walked to the elevator and went to the 4th floor basement. When you stepped out there were a group of men talking with girls and a big studio with white walls and some really expensive lights and cameras. When you walked in Junyeol handed you shades and told you to put them on. You complied without asking why. Everyone stared at you and Junyeol as you walked. The other recruiters looked more professional than Junyeol and they recruited actual professional models. You recognized them all from magazines you read at convenience stores when you was on break. You walked behind Junyeol and signed in.
You and Junyeol then sat on a couch far away from the other group of recruiters and models. Junyeol then whispered to you, "All those recruiters are actually really famous recruiters. As you can see I am a newbie. They have enough reputation to hire A-List models but I think you will beat them all. They all cocky bastards and need to be put in their place. When I was assigned to this project and it was labeled as a competition they all said that I would fail immediately." You smiled and brushed his back. "It´s okay. I will try to win in your honor." Then a group of people exited the elevator and Junyeol stood up. You stood up knowing that they must be the judges. In the group of people were really really cute boys. 7 of them. Then there were 3 old looking men and 3 old looking women.
One of the old men led the boys to a different room and One of the old women told all us models to go to the studio part of the room that was all white. You took of your shades and walked with the rest of the girls to the studio part of the room. One of the girls you recognized as Korea´s Best Top Model tapped your shoulder and rudely told you that colored contacts were not allowed. She honestly looked really bad without makeup. So did the rest of the models. You thought that since they were models for a long time that the surgeries and makeup must have ruined their faces. You ignored her and stood there facing the lights and cameras. The same old woman from earlier walked up to you. "Colored contacts aren´t allowed." You smiled and stretched your eyelid open and showed the woman that your natural eye color was pink with a small hint of brown a genetic flaw in your DNA. She nodded and walked off and you turned and rolled your eyes at the model from earlier. "All right girls, give us your best pose. The feeling of sadness." said the photographer.
Each girl gave a pose in order. You went last. You thought of your parents and gave a simple pose. Standing straight with your hands held together, looking straight into the camera with your eyes wide open and a small line of tear in your eyes. After that they told the models to go to the waiting part of the room and they would review the pictures. It was nerve wrecking for you because they would look at a picture and then they would either sit it to the side or light it on fire and put it in a metal bin while it burn. Soon they were just holding two pictures and then they placed one in the fire. You caught a glimpse of the shirt color and it was white. That made your heart drop but you kept your head up for Junyeol who was rubbing his hands together nervously. A old woman that was called walked up and started dismissing girls. Soon it was just me and Korea´s next top model. "Well Junyeol, You won." She said and you and Junyeol highfived. The model walked off angry with her recruiter following behind her saying that there is definitely another job that she could do.
A younger woman came up to you. "Hi I am Dolbi. I am your makeup artist. Nice to meet you." You shook her hand and said. "Hi I am Kim Sara." Junyeol smiled. "Dolbi is my fiance. Now she is your permanent makeup artist and I am your manager." You smiled and followed Dolbi to the makeup stations. It didn´t take long since you didn´t need that much makeup. Just some eyeliner, eye shadow and lip stick. When you walked back to the studio, the 7 boys from earlier were taking photos. They must be a boy group you thought to yourself. When the photographer saw you he stopped taking pictures causing the boys to look at you.
The photographer walked to you. "Hey Sara. I will be your photographer Jay. So these boys are a group named BTS. You will take pictures with them for a magazine cover and a few pages in a magazine. All we need is serious emotion of sadness,loneliness, and depression. Like when you took your picture earlier." You nodded and went towards the boys. "Hello my name is Kim Sara. It´s nice to be working with you." They all smiled but before one of the could say anything the photographer made you get into our places. You were sitting in a chair while they were standing around you. It was kind of like an old fashion family portrait but there was a empty chair beside you that the boys were told to look at and place their hand on. The concept was a girl who was lonely and depression about a breakup and someone taking the place of her past lover.
After about 5 hours of photos and waiting for them to edit, you saw that in the picture you actually looked really good and they edited the picture to look like your heart was in the chair and there was a cord attached to your chest were your heart was supposed to be. You saw the boys reaching for the chair but they weren´t looking at the chair but aggressively looking at each other but that wasn´t fake emotions. It really looked as if they were fighting for something. You shook your head and bowed and thanked everyone and you, Dolbi, and Junyeol started to leave when BTS manager came up to Junyeol and whispered something to him.
Junyeol nodded and the other manager left. Then he turned to you. "BTS invited you to lunch. That gives me and Dolbi some time to get your new dorm ready." You nodded not sure what to say and walked to BTS makeup room. You picked up your backpack and keys and knocked on the door. Their manager opened the door and smiled. "You must be Sara." You nodded and he led you in. It was a pretty big room. Some were sitting on the couches and some were sitting in the makeup chairs. When the manager coughed, they all looked up. You bowed and they all rushed up. One of them walked up to you. He was tall with mint green hair. He reached his hand out to you and you shook it. "Hi my name is Kim Namjoon or Rap Monster. BTS leader and rapper." You nodded while shaking his hand. A really handsome boy was behind him with blonde hair."Hello my name is Kim Seokjin or Jin. I´m the eldest and I´m a singer." You shook his hand to. Then it was a boy with orange hair and a boy with brown hair. "Hi my name is Taehyung or V." said the boy with orange hair and the other one said "Hey my name is Jungkook I am the youngest." then one by one they all introduced themselves. Rap Monster Jin V Jungkook J-Hope Suga and Jimin.
After that we went into the elevator. "We thought since we worked with you that we could at least get you lunch." Jin had said to you. You smiled. "Well I did pack my lunch here in my backpack. But I can eat with you guys." They all smiled then Jimin said "Well we usually eat pizza in our practice room for lunch so I am glad that we have an excuse to go out to eat." They all nodded and agreed with them. When you got to the lobby we saw a crowd of fan girls standing there. "Who updated twitter?" Rap Monster said and V slowly raised his hand. " I didn´t know Sara was going to lunch with us." Suga sighed."There is no way we can walk out there with Sara." You smiled."It´s okay guys just tell me where you guys are eating lunch and I can just ride my motorcycle there. I will leave first." J-Hope gasped. "You rode a motorcycle?" You nodded. They all gasped and finally Rap Monster spoke. "Do you know a restaurant called "Garden´s Eve" by the Hungyeong Library?" You nodded. "Meet us their." You put on your helmet and walked out the building through the crowd of fan girls and fan boys who murmured mean things at you for pushing them out the way.
Once you made it to your motorcycle, you heard the high pitch screams and you knew they were coming out so you drove by them taking pictures honking your horn. They waved at you and jumped into their black van and followed behind you. When you were at a stop light they pulled up beside you and rolled down their windows. You lifted the visor on your helmet and smiled at them. The light turned green and you two raced back and forth down the highway yelling at each other and laughing. Then it changed to a one lane and you drove faster and pulled in front of them and drove to the restaurant.
You parked and waited til they parked and you both walked in together. After a long lunch and laughs, you gave each of the guys your number and bid them goodbye saying that you don´t know when you will work with them again but since you worked at their company now that you might run into them. After you left you called Junyeol and got the address to your dorm which was the apartments in front of that cafe called "Autumn Sun" that you love going to. Once you got there you noticed that all your stuff from the R.V. was there in boxes in the living room with a note from Ms. and Mr. Hong that read..
"Sara. We love the new name. We didn´t tell or Ms. Dolbi what your real name was because we knew that there must have been a reason why you didn´t tell them. But anyway we just wanted to tell you that we love you and to visit even if you become a famous celebrity. Maybe you can bring business to the Junk yard! Anyway don´t forget about us. Love and "
