Number one
New Job
I had a dream.
It was the best dream of them all awake and asleep.
I was on stage where I could hear what sounded like a millon people screaming my name. "Ari Ari!" I looked to my left and saw
the most handsome guy in my life who looked at me with a huge smile. The lights were so bright I couldnt see a thing in front
of the stage.
Then music began to play and my feet moved like my body was weightless and I could fly right off the stage. The handsome boy
across from me opened his arms and I knew to jump towards him. I landed in his arms saftly and he lifted me up. The crowd went
crazy as we danced together for which seemed like hours.
But then I woke up to my reality...
In the real world I was a cripple, going around in a wheelchair or sometimes forearm crutches when it was a better
day to walk. I had been through so much physical therapy to be able just to use the crutches as I walk. For the last year of my
life I have felt so useless and pitiful. I couldnt even dress myself or take a shower so thoughts of sucicde were always a fail.
You may think, "wow you got to the point of suicide?". Well yeah I used to be a proffessonal dancer and I was just in
my prime and had gotten signed to a company. I did ballet, lyrical, and hiphop but now I can barley walk. I felt like my life was
useless now and not worth living because the only thing I could do was dance. Now what do I do?
Thats when I got a call from my friend Dokyung who works for an enterainment company called starship. "Ari you will never guess
what has just happened at the company?" He said excited.
"What?" I asked curious what had him so happy.
"The company is looking for a new dance trainer to work with basics." He told me.
"What does this have to do with me? You know how I am right." I said annoyed and raising a crutch as if he could see it.
"But it's just basics. Im sure that wouldnt need you to move so much. I think if they see you can just walk they would let you
have the job on the spot. You used to be famous in the dance world, they would be lucky to have you whether you can dance or not
right now." He explained to me.
"Fine." I said not to pleased.
"I knew you would come around. So see you at 6 tomorrow for your interveiw." He said and quickly hung up.
Later that day I practiced walking without my crutches but everytime my legs would fail and I would fall down.

"Kim Ari-ssi?" The woman said calling me to the interveiw room.
I looked over to Dokyung and he nodded his head in encouragment for me to go.
"Walk with me to the door please?" I asked him and we both got up.
I used my forearm crutches to help me to the door and I opened the door to see three people sitting at a table ready to
evaluate me for the job.
"Kim Ari-ssi?" One of them asked.
"Yes thats me." I said and took my crutches and handed them to Dokyung so the people could see.
I turned towards the chair in the center of the room and I confidently held my head up and walked. It was so difficult just to make
it about three yards but when I finally made it to the chair I finally sat down in relief.
"The great dancer Ari who had become famous at the age of fourteen?" One of them asked me.
"Yeah..."I said looking down.
"It was a tragic injury but im glad to see you can walk again."
"You know what?" Ome o them said to the others.
"what?" Another asked as they talked between each other in front of me.
"She could be of use to our company not only in dance?"
"What do you mean?"
"Since we are planning for one of our idol boys to be on We Got Married why dont we have her partner with one of them?"
"How old are you now?" They asked me.
"19" I responded.
"She would be like no other on the show" They said.
"Umm... excuse me but I was just here for the dance instructor job, not to be in a TV show." I said.
"How about you do the show for a couple months and the job is all yours." They asked me.
"I-I dont know." I said unsure.
"Dont worry, it dosent have to be a serious relationship on the show we just need you to look cute together."
"With who?" I asked.
"One of our boy idols."
"And if I do the show you will give me the dancing job?" I continued the ask.
"of course."
"I... will do it." I said and got up to walk out.
As soon as I made it to the hallway I colasped because my legs had became to weak and I felt Dokyung helping me up.
"Are you okay?" I heard someone who was not Dokyung ask.
I turned to look who was helping and it was not Dokyung but instead it was a very skinny, tall, and handsome boy.
