    You arrived at your hotel feeling jet lagged and nervous. They'd put an umma-ish representative in charge of all the younger recruits who'd flown in for the try-outs and the sheer number of delegates from different countries was astounding. Could you beat that many people? Could you beat even one person? They were giving you a night off but the formal audition was to start first thing in the morning.
You slept deeply that night, not tossing and turning as you'd expected, and woke up actually quite refreshed.  The umma, Mrs. Park, came in to wake you at seven prompt and you had the first real chance to see who you'd be rooming with for the next few days. The first girl was named Sarah, a cute redhed from the U.S., the next was a younger girl named Gong Minji and your third roommate was another Korean named Chang Ha Ni. You noticed that the participants were mostly of Korean descent, which was not surprising, and all female. You wondered what YG was up to.
    Luckily for you, your audition was going to be right away and they were letting you choose your own song. You'd chosen the same song to dance to, but had worked out another routine to go with it. You sat in the waiting room and sat next to Minji, sweating profusely.
    "You nervous?" you asked in your best Hangeul. She flashed you a shy smile and nodded. Leaning in to the younger girl, you lowered your voice a couple of notches. "What do you think is going on? Have you noticed there's only girls here?"
    Minji nodded and looked around furtively before becoming you closer. "I heard they're planning a new girl group or something," she whispered secretively. Your eyes widened in surprise. A girl group? You hadn't heard anything about that. Your heart began to beat extra hard and soon your name was called.
    You walked onto the stage into what seemed like blinding light and waited for the tech to find your track. Was YG himself in the audience? As the notes reached your ears, you began to lose yourself in the music. You danced for your life, working harder than you'd done up until that point, all the while with a smile on your face. The song seemed to end too soon, leaving you standing there, chest heaving, with your arms awkwardly hanging by your sides.
    Sweat glistened off your brow as you waited for someone, anyone, to call out to you from the blackness that was the audience. "Number 563?"
    "Yes?" you bowed slightly.
    "You've made it to the finals. See you back on Friday."
Your heart dropped and you couldn't stop the scream that erupted from your lips. You'd made it! Just as you were coming out, you ran into Minji and gave her the thumbs up. She flashed you a nervous smile and bravely went inside. You met up with Sara back in the dorm and found out she hadn't made it; in fact, all the girls who hadn't made the cut that day were being flown home that very day.
    At the end of the day, there were only 20 of you that'd been chosen for the final tryouts. You had all been gathered into a dance practice room and you looked around for Minji and Ha Ni but spotted neither. Were you the only one from your room that'd made it? Finally, you spotted Minji sitting by herself in a corner and you scooted toward her. She grabbed your hand and squeezed.
    "Congratulations!" you said, smiling.
    "Oh, I wouldn't congratulate yourselves yet, girls," said a voice from Minji's other side. "I've been through this many times." The older girl cocked her head. "I'm Park Bom."
Miji ducked her head shyly. "My name is Gong Minji," she said quietly.
Following suit, you bowed slightly and introduced yourself. Bom smiled. "Actually, I've had dealings with YG for a while. So, if you need anyone…"
And suddenly it hit you over the head like a ton of bricks. You felt so stupid as you finally recognized her from the "We Belong Together" and " Forever With You" songs she'd starred in with your beloved Jinyong as well as Choi Seung Hyun. It looked like she'd had a tiny bit of work done (eyelids, perhaps?) and that's why you hadn't recognized her straightaway. Your jaw dropped and you looked up, feeling a little star struck.
    "Wow..."
    Park Bom looked at you.
    "Sorry, I just didn't recognize you at first," you said humbly. "You're so daebak!" you gushed, sounding a little like a fangirl. She smiled a little at this and you blushed.               "Can I ask you something?"
    She nodded. "Why are you auditioning here? Isn't this for YG family back up dancers?"
    "You saying I can't dance?" she said cutely, raising one eyebrow.
    You blushed further and ducked your head.
    "Actually," she lowered her voice. "I heard they were looking for recruits for a new girl group."
    You nodded, trying to look surprised as the umma came to the front of the room. "Now, here's what we need from you this week," she said.
