Introduction

You had always been a huge fan of StrayKids, ever since you first discovered their music a few years ago. You admired their talent, their charisma, and the way they brought people together with their music. You never thought you'd have a chance to meet them, let alone join them as a new member of the group. But that's exactly what happened.

It all started when you entered a singing competition at a local mall. You sang one of StrayKids most popular songs, and to your surprise, a talent scout for JYP Entertainment was in the audience. They were impressed by your voice, and asked you to audition.

You couldn't believe your luck. You spent weeks preparing for the audition, practicing your singing, dancing, and Korean language skills- yea! you lived in Korea for two years after running away. However, before that you were learning it too so it wasn't much hard to become fluent. When the day finally came, you were nervous but determined to give it your all.

You arrived at the JYP Entertainment headquarters in Seoul, feeling like a small fish in a big pond. The building was sleek and modern, and you could feel the energy buzzing all around you. You were greeted by a team of staff members, who escorted you to a room where you would perform for the label executives.

You took a deep breath and began to sing, pouring your heart and soul into the performance. When you finished, there was a long silence in the room. You couldn't tell if they liked it or not. But then, the door opened and in walked the members of StrayKids.

You were starstruck. They looked even more amazing in person than they did on stage or in photos. You couldn't believe you were standing in the same room as them, let alone singing for them.

"Wow," said Leeknow, stepping forward. "You have an amazing voice. I can see why the talent scout was so impressed."

"Thank you," you said, trying to keep your cool. "Ryu Jin-ahhh!" your mom shouted

"Leeknow...Leeknow..."

"Ryu Jin wake up!" your mom shaked you to wake up.

"Leeknow!" you gasped and wake up -it was a dream 🥲

"agh! you and your StrayKids 🥴" she said making a disgusting face and then she said

"now come down quickly you're getting late for your work." you worked in a center as a yoga teacher. you were a very well known gymnast too.

"huh! idk why they're coming in my dreams. I can't even meet them. all I have is just that stupid poster!" you made a pouty face.

your pov*

come on! let's do the day!

you were brushing your teeth with messy hairs all toothpaste was coming out from your mouth, you were being a sloth.

your pov*

life is so boring. huh! my parents even can't see me free. all they want me is to teach others YoGA?! no... that's not my life. I have to follow my dreams. If this continuously happens, I will die with poverty. no! think...

think...

"Ryu Jin-ahhh!!" your mom yelled again for breakfast.

you gargled and ran downstairs for breakfast.

"Why are you so lazy, girl?" asked Your dad

"sorry." you said and pulled out the chair.

"time's up! no breakfast now! we'll meet at lunch time." said your Dad. he's really strict and punctual. he never leaves the second die. you humphed and left the house for center.

*at center

"breathe in...."

"breathe out...legs straigh-"

*here comes your crazy friend Yeji

"Ryu Jin-ahhh!!" she screamed with happiness and sat crossed legs behind you

you broke the peace and looked at her with a warm anger

"sorry." she realized that she interrupted you.

"keep going." you said and closed your eyes for meditation.

"look what I got..."

"I can't look." you kept your eyes closed

"Concert tickets!"

"what?!" you jumped and turned towards her. "what is it?"

"Harry Styles concert!"

"uh...ok." you came back to your position. knowing that you can't go.

"don't you wanna come?"

"I do."

"your parents won't.right?"

"idk why they do this to me...I...-"

"it's ok, dear. But don't worry! I will make your things work out."

"oh really? how?" you asked like as always her plans will flop and let's see what will flop next.

"this won't flop I swear!"

"what's it?"

"I know you wanna meet StrayKids. how about...you BE part of them...?" she asked having a smile.

"what do you mean?" you asked having interest.

"run away!"

"what?? are you dumb??"

"listen to me Ryu Jin! It's what you want. right? your parents never let you do anything. ANYTHING! you have to make your dreams come true. You can at least give a try."

"but what if It didn't come out as I wanted? what if my parents never accept me again?"

"where there's a hope, there's a way..."

that lightened your heart a bit and said

"how can it be done?"

"your voice is angelic. you can try giving audition for it. or just to judge your voice upload any of StrayKids song cover on YouTube."

"I see..."

"if you got supported you can do an audition. once you became a star, your Mom Dad will forgive you. and everything will be fine."

"is it easy?"

"there's nothing easy and difficult in life, dear. these are just part of our vocabulary."

your heart raced and you admired yourself as a Kpop idol -not only Kpop idol but part of StrayKids 😭

(May our wishes come true 😂 DADDY Chan if you're reading this, I'm sorry 😭😂 for the upcoming story)
