1 Pilot

It was my second year of college; I was currently majoring in business since I wanted to own my own bakery. It was unfortunate that my father couldn't be here to see me go off to college like he wanted. So, it just left me and my mother who had to make things work around the house without him here. Without him here, it made things harder for me to attend school my freshmen year and even do good with my studies. However, it suddenly became easier as my mother reminded me how this was something he would've wanted. After, I kept on going to school with keeping her and my father in my mind.

Early in the morning, my alarm went off as I grabbed my pillow to block out the loud noise. It was already five minutes before school started. As I got up from my bed, I went into my bathroom and got ready for school. I gathered my bookbag and notebooks and headed downstairs for breakfast. My mother had just finished making the bacon as she placed the plate on the small table. My mother she sat down in front of me, while putting on the news. I glanced at the time, I noticed that I was going to be late for school. I grabbed a bacon while grabbing my stuff and rushing out the door. When I had arrived at school, my boyfriend was waiting for me outside of the school. We normally meet up in the front of the building since there are many students that come in. Furthermore, he always manages to drop me off to class before heading to his class.

My friend, Rose, she had entered the classroom and sat directly next to me. I haven't seen her since summer because we didn't have the same classes. Also, she was really busy that we didn't get to hang out often either. However, we promised that we would hang out more. Rose's boyfriend, Do yoon, he entered the classroom as well as he sat next to Rose. She gave him a kiss as the professor had entered the classroom. He demanded that we pulled out our materials for the class along with our homework. We spend the whole class time talking about the government and how the government handles different business sectors. The bell rang, we gathered our stuff as the professor was yelling out our homework assignment for the night. On our way out, we grabbed our homework packet as we exited the classroom. My boyfriend, Jo woon, was standing outside of the classroom as we exited along with other students. As we walked the hallway, we saw A-yeong, she is the most popular girl in the school as her father funded the school and of course she was rich. Not to mention, she was really pretty and smart. She was currently majoring in the arts, which was ballet since her mother went here as a ballet dancer. I guess most people figured that she just wanted to take after her deceased mother.

While we were trying to get by since the hallway was crowned with many students, A-yeong had waved in our direction with a smile. Me and Rose was confused since we have never been closed to her for her to smile let alone wave at us. We stood in position as she walked towards us with her two friends next to her following her lead. She was wearing her shiny blond hair in a ponytail while wearing a pink shirt that was pretty soft in material and a mini skirt that was also pink with black stripes going down. I glanced at Rosse who was glancing at me with a shocked but confused facial expression as well. I couldn't put together what she could possibly want to talk about or much less want from us. I had waved at her, but she turned her attention to Jo Woon who waved back with a smile. Which made me think to when they had become so close with each other. I knew that they both was in the same Art major, but she was going for ballet while he was going for dancing. Jo Woon, unlike many men, he wanted to be an idol since K-pop was really popular and it was no longer something to be afraid of. Of course, I fully supported him even though I was more into classical music more.

I had hoped that one day after graduation that someone would notice him and sign him to a major label such as S.M, J.Y.P, or Big Hit entertainment. He was really talented as he was the most popular amongst the dancers in his class and the handsomest. Again, I was really surprised that him and A-yeong was close to one another despite being in different departments. She glanced at me before talking with him again. Then, Jo Woon had whispered to me to head to my next class and that he would catch up with me later. Of course, I had grabbed Rose as she grabbed her boyfriend, and we went our separate ways. As the day ended, Jo Woon was nowhere to be found as Rose came with her boyfriend to walk home together. As we were walking home, Jo Woon had texted me that he was staying late to practice for the show. We were having another talent show that showcased our school's art students for them to get scouted. I understood since this was perhaps his chance to make it in the K-pop industry. Besides, he always stayed back since he wanted to practice more. So, I didn't make a big deal out of it since it was practically normal. However, Rose had her own form of opinion on the matter as always.

"Mina, don't you think him staying late again is a little suspect?" she asked

"Nope, why?" I questioned

"He just promised that he would meet you after school, so that he would drop you home. However, he now all of a sudden has to practice late at night." she said

"Rose, is not really a problem. I know that he is busy with practice since the talent show is coming up and you know his dream is to become a famous K-pop idol. So, I want to trust him since he is dedicated to his dreams just like I am." I spoke

"I guess, if something happens, you can't say that "I didn't tell you so"." she said

"I know that you care for me, but me and Jo Woon been together for 2 years now since high school. And we are always honest with each other, and we haven't really argued with each other about anything recently."

"Okay! If you say so." she said with a smile

As I made it to my house, I had waved to both Rose and her boyfriend goodbye as they left to go home. I took my shoes off, placed them into the cubby and placed my keys on the end table beside the door. As I walked up half the staircase, I could see my mother sleeping in the living room on the couch with the Tv on. I walked back down to turn it off and kiss her on the forehead. She didn't feel comfortable sleeping in her room because it gave her memories of not having my father there. One day, I had wished to redecorate the place, so that it had a different vibe to it and didn't remind her so much of my dad. Moreover, I didn't feel comfortable with her sleeping on the couch as she might have back problems. I walked up the stairs to my room and closed the door shut before taking a nice warm shower. As I placed my head under the warm running water, my mind slowly slipped on what Rose had said about Jo Woon. It was hard to imagine him lying to me about staying late after school to practice for the show. We have always supported each other dreams much less been honest, so I couldn't wrap my mind around it.

I turned the water off, put on my pajamas and brushed my teeth for bed. However, I decided to do my homework late since I wasn't as sleepy. Then, I grabbed my phone to see if there was any celebrity news on social media. But before I could check, there was a notification that had popped up that read "Boyfriend❤️". It was Jo Woon, he had sent me a message saying goodnight and that he made it home safe. I glanced at the time, and it was really late, so I didn't plan on texting him back. I closed my textbook, placed my papers back into its respectable folders and placed them back into my bookbag. Then, I walked over to the side of my bed, placed my phone on the charger and went to bed.
