Way Back Home (GOT7 Fanfic)
Chapter 1: The Dream
Chapter 1: The Dream
Well they know exactly who you are
Where the REAL YOU is a SUPERSTAR
You know it’s never too far away
You can change your hair and you change your clothes
You can change your mind and that’s the way it goes
You can say goodbye and you can say hello
But you’ll always find your way back home
You can change your style and you can change your jeans
You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry but everybody knows
That you’ll always find a way back home
You’ll always… You’ll always find a way back home
*claps* *screams*
“Kamsahamnida! Thank you very much!”
Wooh! That was a great performance I made. It seems like they liked it. Now, it’s time to count the money I’ve earned for today’s performance. It’s 1000 won. Is it enough to travel to an entertainment? Aish. -_-
“Rhianne-ssi, you showed us a great performance today. Why don’t you like to audition on a certain entertainments like SM, YG or yes JYP.” a young professional told me.
“Oh. That. Yeah. I was thinking about that too. But still I need to save a little more money.” I replied.
He just smiled.
That’s kinda weird. I can always see him every day during my performance here in the street.
“Aish. Where should I go now? Why don’t we have any relatives here in South Korea?”
“Annyeong haseyo, Rhianne-ssi?”
I looked at him, a man with shades wearing a scarf. Wait a minute, I think I know him.
Think… think… think…
“JYP?!” I shouted.
He immediately covered my mouth.
“Ya ya ya ya~ Ahem. Yes, I’m JYP. Can you please lower your voice? People should not see me here.” he said.
“Uhm, okay. I’m sorry but why are you here? And how’d you know my name?”
I’m actually curious.
“A JYP scout has been following you for days. He first saw you singing with your guitar near the subway station. You’re not a Korean right?”
“Yes. I’m a Filipino. I’m from the Philippines.”
“And like what I said, my scout said you have an incredible voice and a talent in playing guitar so today, I went to see for myself.”
OMO. O.o He watched my performance? I’m going to die.
“I was amazed when I watched you perform. You may not be the best in singing but I can see in your eyes that you’re very happy performing and with that I’ve decided to ask you to be our trainee? Will it be fine for you?”
Did he just say that I’m going to be a trainee?
“Really? No doubt I’ll say yes.” I said.
I think I’m having a good luck today. Is it really happening now? Like for real? Oh my gosh. I told you I’m going to do anything just to be a singer.
“Good. Will you mind going with us now to JYP Entertainment so we can talk about the contract and to know more about you?”
“Oh it’s fine. Actually I don’t know where to stay now.”
It’s finally happening, the dream that I have been dreaming. Captain Yamato, I’m on my way to my dream. I’ll prove to my parents that I’ll be able to become a singer and I know that this is God’s will for me. (Author’s note: Who’s Captain Yamato? You’ll know more of him on the later part of the story.)
We rode on a black car. South Korea is really beautiful. I haven’t traveled here yet because I’m afraid. Haha. It’s sounds ironic but I am afraid travelling alone. But now, because of my dream I went here all alone. -_-
Minutes later I saw Dunkin Donuts. Ooh, there’s also a dunkin donut store here. The car turned and enters into a garage.
“We’re already here.” JYP said.
Oooh. I can really see the JYP Entertainment sign. It’s really real. I’m really here. I’m going to be a trainee. Waaah. :3
We entered (I guess that was a secret door. lol) the building and I was really amazed. I just followed JYP where he goes. Everyone there bows down to him whenever they see him.
I’m having goose bumps here, literally.
I wonder where the trainees train. Oh well, we were about to enter a room, I guess a small conference room?
Dugdug. Dugdug. My heart continues to beat fast. I feel nervous. JYP then opened the door of the room and he stopped.
“Oh, do we have a meeting now?” JYP asked. There may be people inside the area.
“Yes sir. We have. We’re going to talk about…” a man said but he was not able to finish his sentence because JYP suddenly remembered about the meeting.
“Yes, yes. I forgot. Aish. I’m really turning old. Ah by the way, Rhianne-ssi, please enter here first I’m going to introduce you.”
“Oooh. A trainee that is going to debut?” some cute manly voice asked. I wonder who it is.
Then I entered the room and saw… wait… am I seeing this for real? It’s GOT7! O.o
“Okay, she’s Rhianne and she will be a new trainee here. I’ve chosen her and she will be signing contract with me now. But then, I guess, we’ll talk about it later because of this meeting.” JYP said.
“Annyeong Rhianne noona!” Bambam said.
“Annyeong haseyo” the others followed.
I don’t know what to say. I wanted to move my mouth but there’s no word coming out. I’m being star struck.
“Hahaha. She’s kinda nervous seeing you guys. It’s alright Rhianne-ssi. Just introduce yourself.”
Put your mind together Rhianne! Ppali!
“Hello, I’m Rhianne.” and then I smiled.
“Your name is nice.” Jackson said.
I just smiled. What? I don’t know what to do. Who wouldn’t be amazed by the lovely faces of these 7 boys? -_-
“Rhianne-ssi, there’s a door there and enter. Just wait for me there. I’ll just talk with them for a while.”
“Ne.”
That was the only word I said and I immediately left the room.
When I entered another room, ooh, it looks like an auditorium. I walked slowly. I saw a lot of music things here and that made me smile even more. I continue walking and walking (I guess 10 minutes passed) and noticed that I’m already on the stage. Seeing those empty seats makes my heart pump faster. This is the feeling I’ve wanted long time ago. This feeling that I was searching for that was lost before. I love this feeling.
I immediately opened my guitar case and try to sing a song.
I sing of little dreams writing melodies
Ever since I could speak
Seeing smiles light up as my notes
Free spirit, caress emotion
And now a chance to be
Among my idols who shared my passion
To win a crowd of thousands
To laugh with, to belong
To touch more hearts to share my song
Here I am before you all
Here me now, finally I’m home
This stage and I we’re inseparable
I’m singing my song
Paparapapa
Love Ko ‘To
This always reminds me
The life I loved
I’ve owed to my family
And no matter where my rhythm takes me
But my side is where they’ll always be
And now a chance to be
Among my idols who shared my passion
To win a crowd of thousands
To laugh with, to belong
To touch more hearts to share my song
Here I am before you all
Here me now, finally I’m home
This stage and I we’re inseparable
I’m singing my song
Paparapapa
Love Ko ‘To
Will never fade away… it will never fade away…
Here I am before you all
Here me now, finally I’m home
This stage and I we’re inseparable
I’m singing my song
Paparapapa
I’m singing my song
Paparapapa
I’m singing my… I’m singing my song…
Love Ko ‘To
*claps*
I look to my right and to my left looking for that clap. I wonder where it came from. Then I heard a voice.
“Is that the song for you?”
Then I saw JYP walking towards the stage.
“Oh, no. I don’t consider it as a song about myself. It’s just that the feeling to be here in the stage, I can’t explain it.” I said.
We sat down in the corner of the stage.
“I didn’t know you’re also a belter. You can sing along with Jimin and Yerin.” he said.
“Ooh, that’s too much. They’re way better than me.”
“I see. You don’t have the self-confidence? Now, I’m going to ask you something. Who are you and why are you here?”
I started to ask myself. Why am I here for? Then I smiled emotionally.
“I’m Rhianne, an only child who was once a dreamer but it seems like my dreams were carried by the wind. That was who I think I am before, a dreamer who will never be able to fulfill her dreams. I was raised in a Christian family and my parents always tell me that being a singer/artist is not what God’s will for me. It’s just that I love KPOP that makes me want to be a singer. At that time, I was so confused.”
Tears started to roll on my cheeks.
“Oh my gosh. It’s embarrassing. Haha.” I said while wiping my tears.
“No. Your life will never be embarrassing. Just continue.” and he smiled.
“Okay. So as I was saying, I was confused. I even asked myself, what do I want? Do I really want to be a singer because of KPOP or do I really want to be a singer because that my dream? Few days, I’ve got my answer. I wanted to be a singer because God tells me to be. I can feel my heart desiring to be on stage, performing. I’m so happy whenever I’m singing, it seems like no one could stop me. I planned to be a singer in our country but they always reject me. My parents did not allow me to go to South Korea or to any other country and find my dream. They wanted me to study a course on college which I never really liked. But since I love them more than myself, I followed them. I studied college, barely passing my subjects. And now, I graduated.”
“After graduating what did you do? Why choose South Korea?” he asked.
“After I graduated, I faced my parents and told them that it’s time to follow my heart. I’ve followed them all of the time, and now I guess, it’s time to face what my heart wants. South Korea is very famous because of KPOP. Even if you can’t understand the lyrics of the song, just the melody you will be able to feel it. There’s something in South Korea’s music that makes it unique and I guess, it’s the best place to help me improve and find that ‘thing’ that is missing in me.”
I feel more comfortable now. It seems like I’ve thrown all my worries and burdens away.
“If there’s one song you want to sing in front of your parents, what song? Can you sing it for me?” he asked me again.
“There’s one song I’ve always wanted to sing in front of them. It’s the song “Perfect” by Simple Plan. Here it goes; I just made a few changes.
Hey Mom, look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
Or do you think I’m wasting my time
Doing things I wanna do
Cause it hurts when you disapprove all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for you
I can’t pretend that I’m alright
And you can’t change me
Cause we lost it all
Nothing last forever
I’m sorry, I can’t be perfect
When it’s just too late
And I can’t go back
I’m sorry, I can’t be perfect
“Why did you change “Dad” into “Mom”?”
“My mom was the always one who don’t believe on my dreams. Well, my dad doesn’t even care.”
“It looks like you really have a lot of family problems.” then he laughed.
“Haha. It’s more than anyone thinks. I’m smiling on the outside yet dying on the inside. Ahm, by the way, thank you for making me your trainee even though I haven’t auditioned.” I said.
“You have the talent, you have the looks, and more importantly, you have the passion. That’s what I’m looking for. I don’t need people who may be the best in singing or dancing yet doesn’t have the passion in doing it. You’re the person best suited for JYP Entertainment. So I guess, we should be signing the contract?” he said.
I smiled at him.
This day seems to be the best day in my life. Step by step, I’ll be able to reach my dreams. Mom, you’ll see. I’ll prove to you that I deserve to be on this stage.
Well they know exactly who you are
Where the REAL YOU is a SUPERSTAR
You know it’s never too far away
You can change your hair and you change your clothes
You can change your mind and that’s the way it goes
You can say goodbye and you can say hello
But you’ll always find your way back home
You can change your style and you can change your jeans
You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry but everybody knows
That you’ll always find a way back home
You’ll always… You’ll always find a way back home
