THIRD-PERSON POV:
YEAR: 2011.
PLACE: YONGSAN, SOUTH KOREA, BIG HIT BUILDING
During this time, Namjoon, Yoongi and Hoseok had already been hired as trainees. Their lives took a drastic change at this time. They knew they had to work even harder now to achieve their dreams.
As it was said, different people have different mindsets. But Big Hit saw a different set of talents in all of them.
The three of them had a good understanding by now and they formed a no-name team for now. As they trained, they learned each other's good traits.
On a fine morning, Bang PD Nim called three of them into his chamber.
"Very good morning PD nim" They let Namjoon do all the talking because he was already good at it. As for his counterpart, he never resisted.
"Good Morning Boys. Have a seat"
All three sat before them, with confused looks on their faces as they contemplated what they would be asked for. Honestly, they even feared losing everything since it had already been some time and their band wasn't ready.
"So I wanted to ask, have you guys thought about what to do ahead of this now?" he asked being straightforward as he is as a company CEO.
In truth, they weren't planning anything yet since they were celebrating their selection.
"I think now we have to get into business. It's high time. Now if you tell me what you guys need, I can surely look forward to arranging it. We must start with what we are here for right?"
They knew he was right at that point. But at that moment in time, Namjoon didn't have any clue. Neither of the rest two had. But he eventually had to come up with something so he said "I think we need a few more members in the team. We have now only rappers, I think we need a few vocalists to start"
Bang Si Hyuk nodded as he agreed with what Namjoon said that morning. They need vocalists.
And that is how the search was still on.

PLACE: KONKUK UNIVERSITY, GWANJIN-GU, SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA.
Seok-Jin's POV:
FLASHBACK TO LAST WEEK:
"How do you think you want to take over the business?" dad asked while we were all having breakfast at the table.
I closed my eyes in a little frustration when I heard the same question the third time in a row this week. Gosh, what is happening?
At least mom understood that I was not in the mood today.
"Jagiya... I was wondering why not give him some time, hm? I think he already had made up his mind that he want to be in theatres. Let's give me a chance."
"And then what? Who do you think will handle the business?", he asked bemusedly.
That is dad's problem, being a little extra hot-minded.
I have been trying to avoid this conversation for a long time now, but I guess it is the time when I think I should tell him clearly. So without relying any more I replied "Appa... I do not want to be in business"
In pure thunderstruck amazement, he stared at me bemused.
"What did you say?" he asked once again, making sure what he heard was right or wrong.
I took a deep breath before telling him "I think Hyung is taking care of the business just fine. I want to be in the theatre. Fame is something I want, but I want it in a context where I can prove my worth. I want to have a separate path appa. I hope you understand and consider this."

TIME SKIP TO THE PRESENT TIME:
"Beep"
A loud horn just woke me up from this horrifying dream I was having once again. But one good thing that happened was that dad finally agreed. That was honestly the best morning.
After getting down from my car, I headed towards my university's gate. It was a bright sunny day. The students really enjoyed the weather. I took out my notes from yesterday's class as I kept practising the dialogues for our upcoming drama.
This was my chance, I got to know that there will be a few students who will be getting contacts for the companies according to their performance. Well, I have my handsome face ready with me, So one thing I am sure of, is that I will be getting into the best one.
As I was about to enter the gate someone called me from behind.
"Excuse me, sir"
I stopped in my tracks as I looked behind. There was a middle-aged man standing before me with a gentle smile.
"Yes, can I help you?"
But instead of replying, he kept looking at my face for some time. I wonder what's wrong with him.
"Uh, sir. I know I am handsome but I really have to go now. My classes are about to start. Do you need anything?" I asked once again being polite.
He offered me a smile as he then finally replied "Ah yes I am sorry to keep you waiting. Indeed you are handsome." He then looked for something in his pocket and pulled out a card as he handed me over. "I am coming from a Big Hit company. We are recruiting some new members. I was wondering if you would want to audition for us?"
I stopped and thought to myself, is this really happening? Is my handsome face finally paying me off?
I smiled being a little stunned at that time, but I made sure that I bowed before taking the card.
"Thank you so much. You have a keen eye for beautiful things, and I appreciate it. I am studying theatre here and was looking for some contacts for some good companies. I will surely go for the audition. Thank you for your approach."
He nodded before leaving. The morning indeed was really good. I kept looking at the person from behind, who still look like a mystery to me. But I made sure to search for the company name online. Just to be sure that I was not getting fooled.
And surprisingly there was a company named "Big Hit". I smiled before turning back and walking towards my class. I really felt happy that day. It was just like any dream. Suddenly, my eyes caught sight of the crystal key chain I always carry.
Just like you, I think this is a miracle.
***********************************************************************************************
Currently, I was waiting in Big Hit's CEO's cabin. I auditioned here as an actor and surprisingly they told me that the CEO wanted to meet with me personally to discuss the results. Honestly, that looks a little weird.
Then, a middle-aged man entered, and I knew that was Bang PD nim. And behind him, a boy followed. He looked a little younger, but my handsome face is the ultimatum of them all.
As soon as he saw me, he greeted me with a smile. "Seokjin?"
I shook my hands as we all settled down.
"I am glad that you came here today. I saw your audition and no doubt you have a very handsome face. Thus I have a little proposition for you today"
I was a little confused and wanted to hear him clear my doubts.
He smiled as he looked at the other boy who was sitting across the chair. "He is Namjoon. He had recently joined our company as a trainee. We do have another two people in the group. And we are here recruiting members for an idol band. And I certainly think that with your handsome face and a little bit of training, you have the potential to become a member here. What do you say?"
I was really confused at this time. I mean, I understand being handsome, but I had no experience to be an idol. I had never thought about it. But the offer sounded a little tempting so I sat back to hear more.
"I am not sure what exactly is needed to become an idol. I just came here for an audition for an actor."
He laughed a little before replying "You need not worry about that. We will train you for that. We only need a few members with determination. If you agree here is the contract"
He showed me a file where he already had all the arrangements in place. If this can really make something from me, It is always worth taking the risk.
That evening I signed the contract and he introduced me to the team. There were so far three members apart from me and each of them were having a different set of talents. Bang PD nim also told me I had to learn dancing and singing, which seemed a little difficult but at the same time, I was so close to my dreams.
Thus, without further questions, I joined the company.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hello guys, so this is what almost happened with Jin when he came for an audition. Our WWH was founded by Big Hit and didn't even hesitate before getting him signed.
See ya in the next chapter. Any guess who will be joining the team next?
