It was November 9th 2012. Backstage at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, 14-year-old Jen sat in a chair, getting finishing touches on her curly light brown hair, which was put into a high pony tail. Her and the rest of her group named Amity were to perform at their last concert of their small tour.

Amity consisted of five members. 16 year old Hailey, who was the leader and main vocalist, 16 year old Trinity who was the lead dancer, 15 year old Layla who covered the high and dramatic notes and 17 year old Angelina who took care of the raps. And then there's Jen.

Who was she?

Who was she in the group?

She never got the chance to showcase her talent on stage.

So was this worth it?

Back in early 2011, a rising new company named SongStress Entertainment was looking for young female talents to form another girl group. They partnered up with Disney and started to put up commercials and ads everywhere to promote auditions. When Jen heard about it from a TV commercial, she quickly went to tell her parents. After some persuading, and chores around the house, they took her to the audition in New York that was set in March. No matter what the challenges were, she remained persistent and her family supported her because of her passion for singing and dancing.

She wanted to perform ever since she was ten years old. Listening to artists like Rihanna, 2NE1, Mariah Carey, Big Bang, Wonder Girls, Whitney Houston and Eminem sparked her interest as she begged her parents to pay for singing and dancing lessons. The lessons seemed to have paid off because after she auditioned she was called back a week later.

When she passed the second callback, Jen and her parents wasted no time signing the contract as she went on to debut with four other unknown girls, to form the group Amity at 13 years old. They got popular fast, from their adorable charm, to their catchy songs and music videos. Things were great. But things weren't always what they seemed to be.

Egos began to get in the way.

As time went on, the company began to pay more attention to more girls than others. The leader, Hailey, even felt threatened by Jen's dance skills and the company forced her to dance slower, and with less effort to feel like she was a sluggish dancer.

What really caught Jen's attention was that she started to not get a lot of lines like she used to in the songs. She would only sing the chorus with the group. She is also the only one who doesn't have a solo song, while the rest had their songs recorded and performed at concerts whenever Amity went on stage for a performance.

Jen was also set over the edge, finding out that Amity had recorded songs without her.
Her voice was great at harmony but she wasn't credited for it. They recorded her and made it seem like Hailey sung the beautiful harmonious notes. As she took all the credit, Jen couldn't do anything about it because of the contract.

Whose fault was that? Jen's.

So maybe she did get a little too excited by the fact that she was going to be signed to a record company. Maybe her and her parents didn't really read the contract despite the president reassuring that everything would be fine and fair.

She was naïve and young.

Rushing into things without really thinking things through.

Reading things through.

Thinking of a backup plan just in case things like this happened
She wasn't like the rest of her bandmates. Her love for KPOP, thanks to listening to Wonder Girls, Big Bang and 2NE1, motivated her to learn the Korean language while the company thought it was pointless.

They asked her, "Who would you speak Korean to?"

"Why are you trying to learn that language if you're in America?"

"We're not touring in South Korea; you're wasting your time."

But she continued to learn for her enjoyment and love for the Korean culture.

It was difficult at first. She had a difficult time pronouncing the words. There were times she wanted to stop but her parents gave her encouragement because they knew how much she loved KPOP. For her studying, she tried to study Korean at least an hour or two a day since she was 13. Thankfully it's been beginning to pay off.

Sometimes she ponders what if she didn't do the audition and stayed in school just like her two older sisters. She could probably get somewhere with a college degree. But she loved being an artist. She wanted to do this.

And as much as she hated to admit it, this company wasn't the place for her to do it.
She finally got her dream to be a performer, and now she was thinking about letting it go because of the mistreatment. She had to do what was best for her.

"This'll bring out those pretty hazel eyes." The makeup artist explains with enthusiasm as she applies mascara on Jen's eyes.

"Oh make sure you put on more makeup on her. She really needs it." An unfortunate familiar mocking voice belonging to Hailey was heard as she shoots Jen an innocent smile. The harsh words made Jen clench her fists and glare at her. "What? Just telling the truth. They always say the truth hurts."

"Hailey, stop it. Don't be such a brat. That's so friggin' rude. Go somewhere." Angelina sternly calls her out. Hailey responds with a shrug and walks away to get mic'd up. Angelina walks over to Jen with a smile and puts a hand on her shoulder. "You look fine, Jen Jen. Don't listen to her."

Jen didn't reply as she continues to be in deep thought about being in Amity. Everyone should be getting along, not trying to bring each other down.

The redheaded Angelina notices her frowning and snaps her out of it as the makeup artist finishes her make up. "You know you have to stop doing that. Letting people get to you and ruining your pretty smile with frowns. Is it Hailey again?"

Jen looked up at her friend. Best friend. Basically, the only friend she had in this girl group. Angelina was the one who really had her back in this company and wasn't self-centered or had the fame go to her head. She was the one who let Jen know about the company recording without her as well. She was very grateful she had someone looking out for her.

"I don't really care anymore. I'm not paying her any mind." Jen firmly asserts with a sigh.

"Ten minutes until the show!" The manager calls out as everyone runs frantically for finishing touches.

"We'll talk later." Jen promises as they both walk outside the dressing room to get mic'd up.
"Come on Jen, we ain't go all day!" The manager escorts her to the stage before giving her a jacket to put over her light brown skin. "And remember, don't dance so hard."

"I don't understand what the big deal is." She mumbles, shaking her head in disapproval.

"Big deal? Hailey needs the spotlight. It would be great if you remember to stand back, this time. You aren't the visual, get that through your head. How many times do we have to tell you that? This is your last warning."

Jen frowns in response as she watches the manager walks away. Frustration was beginning to build up inside of her.

What ever happened to equality? Not one person better than the other.

She wanted to be in a company that had equal opportunities.

---

The show was like the others. Fake smiles, watching Hailey's back, it wasn't fun anymore. Jen believed she had so much potential to improve and become a great performer, but her talent was wasted and not used the way she wanted it to be. She didn't want to be wasted and neglected.

Amity was supposed to be a team. A five-member girl group who had each other's backs. Be great friends and treat each other as equals. Not a competition of who's better than each other.
It was sad that the entertainment business was like that these days.

After the show, Jen checks out her Twitter account and tweets 'Thank you for an awesome show Philly! #AmityInPhilly'

She didn't have a whole bunch of fans like the others since they were on TV shows, interviews and other photoshoots to get more publicity. She always pondered why SongStress didn't do that for her. They never really given her a chance to show off what she could do as a singer and dancer. Or even as an actress if she could try that out.

She didn't say anything because she was too humbled. She was grateful for all the things she had done so far in Amity. All she ever wanted was to perform and she got that. She would ask occasionally if her solo would come up, or any photoshoot or show opportunity was available for her. But SongStress would always give her the same answer.

"Not at the moment. Soon."

How far away was "Soon?"

She felt discouraged. It was like she was just there. She might as well be called a backup dancer.

While backstage in the dressing room, lounging on the couch, she checked the #AmityInPhilly hashtag since it was trending on Twitter while the rest of her bandmates came in. Jennie began to think about her birthday that was tomorrow and it started to boost up her mood.

"Hey guys, I wanted to talk to you about something." She spoke softly, gaining their attention. "Since my birthday is tomorrow, I planned this singing exhibit where people around the area can showcase their singing for fun. Do a little meet and greet, pictures...all sorts of stuff. It'll be a fun gathering. I also made a song and I'd like you all to be there to support me."

"You know we have to practice right?" Trinity recalls in a flat tone.

The indifference in Trinity's voice made Jennie's stomach drop as she timidly replies, "I-It's after practice."

"And where is this?"

"In my hometown. Here in Philly. It'll start around 7:00PM."

"Does SongStress know about this?" Hailey asks, looking skeptical at the event that's been planned.

"Why wouldn't they?" Jen questions.

"We'll see about the event. Anyway, group meeting!" Hailey calls out. "I'm so proud of us! We definitely have to celebrate tonight. We're going to dinner. But uh Jen, remember what the manager told you about your diet. And you were a bit sloppy out there. Don't make us look bad out there. Did you practice at all?"

All the happiness about the upcoming event for her birthday left Jennie's body as annoyance was clearly shown on her sweaty face. Okay, so she really didn't have a flat stomach like the rest of them did. She had a curved stomach with a small pudge but that was nothing to go on a diet for. She was already satisfied on how she looked.

She told herself she did want to work out to gain more muscle and possible abs on her stomach when she gets a little older, but she wasn't going to feel obligated to do so. She'll do it on her own freetime.

Her hair was naturally curly and her thighs were a bit thicker than theirs. She even had light stretch marks on her hips but so what? Why does that have to make her go on a diet? She was born this way, and she was fine with how she is. Why should she change her look because someone else wanted her to? She wanted to look natural, not a Barbie doll.

She was still going through puberty as well. The baby fat was still there but it'll most likely disappear from her body and face soon enough when she's a little older.

"You know I really don't understand why I'm the only one who has to go on a diet. I'm perfectly fine. I'm basically the same size as you. I'm not starving myself." Jennie protests with irritation.

"Well you're not going out with us, so get food at the hotel and get yelled at by the manager. It's on you."

Jennie shakes her head in disbelief. "I really can't stand you."

"Whoa, what did I do?" Hailey fakes a shocked look.

"I think you know what you've done. This is so unfair."

"It's not that serious." Layla sighs.

"It is serious. Almost all of you have the biggest egos I've ever seen and it's like you're forgetting that we all made Amity and we work as a team. Can't you see how wrong this is? How I'm the only one who has to dance slower while you guys give it your all? I want to put as much effort as everyone else."

"Jen everything is going to be okay-" Angelina tries to reassure but Jen waves her hand and shakes her head.

"I'm gonna go. Enjoy dinner." She grabs her bags and leaves the room.

Hailey sighs out of annoyance. "This is why you don't have young people in groups because they always want to act like brats. It should've just been the 4 of us, but no~ they wanted one more person and they had to pick her out of all people. She doesn't do anything but whine and complain-"

"Hailey shut up." Angelina exclaims sharply while standing up. "You're the brat here."

"Excuse me? Who do you think you're talking to?"

"You're not superior than any of us just because you're the leader. And if I were betting on the future of Amity...I'd say we'll disband and it'll all be because of you."

Hailey huffs in dissatisfaction. "I am so telling the manager on the both of you."

"Oh go ahead. The only reason you're here is because the vice president is your Uncle. Did you even audition for SongStress or did you get everything handed to you on a silver platter?" The redhead questions. Taking the silence as an answer, she retrieves her bag and grumbles, "That's what I thought." Before storming out the room.

---

An hour had passed since Jen left backstage and went back into her hotel room she shared with Angelina. She laid on her back in bed, looking at the ceiling as her stomach continued to growl mercilessly.

"I'm so hungry." She grumbles and clutches her stomach.

She managed to buy a couple bag of chips in a vending machine with the paper money she had on her but she really craved food to satisfy her hunger.

Suddenly she hears knocking at the door and gets up. When she opens it, she sees Angelina with a bright smile on her face and a large box of pizza in hand. "Let's eat biatch~!" She cheerfully walks inside and places the pizza on the bed before parking herself on the bed as well.

"I thought you were at dinner!" Jen stammers, looking wide eyed at the pizza on the bed.

"I can't stand those girls, I'm not hanging out with them." She responds with a shrug.

"But I'm supposed to go on that dumb diet..." Jen grumbles.

"Bitch eat. I don't give a crap what they say, you are eating to your heart's content. Don't stare yourself because they want you to look a certain way. You know what they're trying to do is wrong. I see it, you see it. You have to stand your ground and speak up."

"But if it gets me fired then what?"

"I would rather be fired. I'm eating all the pizza I want. They can't stop me. And they won't stop you. Sit. Eat. Chill. I gotta vent to you about Hailey."

Jen happily sits back on the bed and bites into the hot, cheesy pepperoni pizza that was fresh from Pizza Hut. "What happened with you and Hailey?"

"Oh my gosh...I don't think I can take much more of this. She keeps talking crap about you. She thinks the world revolves around her. And it's like the others are followers, I swear. They always wanna just back up what she says. Or just stand there and agree with everything she says. Like are you blind?" She retorts as she starts to get angry thinking about the situation.

"Well, she does have power over us because of her Uncle..." Jen grumbles.

"And that shouldn't be the case. She should work hard and not get an easy route just because of some connection with family. I always see that these days. I mean I know it is great to have connections but still endure the hard work that others who really started from the bottom."

"Yeah but that's not how the world seems to work." Jennie trails off, thinking about the future.

"Enough about her. I have another serious question to ask."

"What is it?"

"You thinking of leaving?"

From the shocked look on Jennie's face, Angelina gets her answer, mumbling "I thought so."
"I have to, I just can't do this anymore." Jen points out with a sad smile. "I talked to my agent and let her know everything."

"I understand. But are you still going to sing?"

"Yes. I still want to perform."

The redheaded girl nods in approval. "Good. Whenever you leave, it'll be worth it. So don't worry. Just stay in touch with me. I'm gonna miss you. Whatever the future holds for you, I'll be supporting you."

Jen smiles. "Thank you, Angie. I'll be supporting you too!"

"Now let's watch some Spongebob." She grabs the remote off the nightstand.

Jennie giggles at her. "Aren't you too old for that?"

"Ha! You're NEVER too old for Spongebob."

---

November 10th 2012. Jennie was finally 15 years old. She went to the studio in a bright mood, happily thanking everyone for the birthday wishes. She received birthday phone calls from her family and tweets from fans.

The day starts off like always. Dance practice and then recording in the studio. But she couldn't help but wonder if she'll get a surprise party just like all the other girls have on their birthdays. But as the day went on, she didn't really receive anything after she left the studio.

She tried not to feel too disappointed as she got herself ready for her 1st annual Singing Exhibit she created. It was called, "Avid Vocals" that was in a small lounge with a stage.

When she arrived, she was grateful for the turnout. There was over 120 people in the place. A good start for a nice little event to meet people who are passionate about singing and dancing like herself.

She makes her way up the stage and gives her welcoming speech. "What's up everybody!?" She grins at the crowd and waves. "Thank you so much for coming tonight to the first annual Avid Vocals where we all come together to sing and dance to our heart's content and meet and greet with each other. I've been wanting to do this for a while now, bringing people together who enjoy performing for fun, and I'm very happy with the turn out so far. At this time, let's get started with the first performance! And if anyone else wants to perform, there's a sign in sheet by the table.So just write your name and the song, and sing out! Enjoy the show!" She waves as she gets loud cheers.

Once she left the stage, she made her way to mingle and talk with fans, signing autographs and taking photos.

The performances so far were all very unique and fun to watch. There were really goofy performances, singing songs like YMCA, We Will Rock You and Party Rock Anthem. Then there were performances that really slayed with Single Ladies, TiK ToK, and So What by Pink.
After watching some performances, it was time for her to get on stage. She sat on a stool with her guitar in her hands. "I've written a little song and wanted to share it with you guys." She looks around to find any members of Amity but don't. "I hope you guys enjoy!"

They applaud for her as she begins to strum along on her guitar. While she sang, she tries to search for any members of Amity in the crowd but couldn't find anyone. After she finished her song, she received a huge positive feedback from the crowd as she goes backstage.

She looked at her phone while thinking that any members would find her backstage to see her but sees a text message sent 30 minutes before she went on stage from Angelina.

'You are SO not gonna believe this...the assholes kept me back and forced me to work on my raps...the rest went out somewhere to the movies. I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to support you...I'll see you back at the hotel and we'll hang. :'('

Jennie lets out a sigh. She knew Angelina was telling the truth. She had a feeling Hailey would try to do something after asking her if the manager knew about it. She wasn't really mad at anyone. It'd be a waste of energy.

---

As soon as Jennie went back into her hotel room, she sees Angelina waiting for her anxiously. Once she heard the door close, her head shoots up and she quickly gets off the bed.

"They kept me on purpose, I tried everything, I'm so sorry I wasn't there." Angelina had tears in her eyes and hugs her tightly.

"It's okay. Don't worry about it." Jen responds with a sigh.

"No, it's not."

"Don't worry about it, I still had a nice birthday." She reassures. "I'm just glad I got to meet some nice fans and perform today."

"I'm sure it was a fun event. Hey, I got you something to make up for it. I hope you like it."

Hearing that, Jen's eyes light up. "Really!?"

"Yep! Close them eyes girl. And no peeking." She addresses, going back to the bed. After a few moments, she hands her a small bag. "You can open them."

Jen quickly opens her eyes and sees a pink bag in front of her. She grins widely and digs right inside to see all the CDs so far from Wonder Girls and 2NE1. "GAH! MY GIRLS~" She wraps her arms around her for a big hug, earning a loud laugh from the redhead.

"I knew you'd react like that." Angelina chuckles and gets released. "I'm not really into KPOP, never really heard of it, but I went on YouTube, listened to it and they sound really damn good. Both groups."

"Thank you, for this. Really. This is really awesome." She says with a bright smile.

"Of course. Oh and this one group...Bang bang-wait no, it's called Big Bang." She corrects herself as Jen nods at the correct name of the group. "Why are they all so hot?" Angelina questions, making Jen laugh out loud. "No, I'm serious. That is too much sexiness. That's not nice!" She crosses her arms, shaking her head.

"You'll never get used to it, trust me." The birthday girl sits on the bed. "My favorite is T.O.P. I have a big crush on him. He's so cool. I would love to meet him one day. Along with Wonder Girls and 2NE1."

"Hey, you never know. Maybe you'll get some VIP Tickets to a concert if they're in America."

"Yeah...but I wouldn't mind performing like them."

"What do you mean?"

"I wouldn't mind performing KPOP. Easier said than done right? But I love how they perform and their awesome dances."

"KPOP? That'll be interesting to see. Whatever your heart desires, I say go for it. Work hard, do research and go for it. Anything is possible as long as you work hard for it. I would talk to your agent about that."

Jen nods. "That's not a bad idea."

"So we're renewing our contracts tomorrow. Are you going to renew it?"
Jennie shakes her head. "I was talking to my family and agent about it. I think it's time for me to close this chapter in my life and move on."
Angelina nods. "Do what's best for you."

---

Today was the most difficult day for Jennie as she made her way to SongStress' office to meet in the boardroom. She walked with her agent, who has been a family friend of hers since she started out in Amity. Her name was Diana Parker.

Jen's parents made sure to do their research when finding someone to really aid and be there for her while she was in the entertainment business. And Diana wasn't going to let SongStress try to make Jennie feel obligated to resign with them after all the crap she's dealt with.

Once they walked in, they sat in front of the manager, President of SongStress, Vice President, the HR, Supervisor and executive.

"All right Jen, here, you can sign right here." The Vice President hands her the pen.

"I won't be needing that." She replies in a low voice.

"Oh? Did you bring your own? Came here prepared, I admire that." He chuckles.

"No, I mean I'm not signing that."

The room goes silent as everyone but Diana stare at her, trying to comprehend what she just said. "...What do you mean you're not signing?" The President slowly asks.

"I don't want to renew my contract." She firmly says as they look at her in shock.

"How about we put more money in for you? Then you'll sign?" The President suggests.

"You heard the girl. She's not signing." Her agent speaks up.

"I wasn't talking to you." He spats at Diana and turns back to Jen in a panic. "How much you want for the next few years?"

"No sir, I think my time is up here." Jen guarantees.

"What you want to have your solo? Is that what this is about? Okay fine. We'll have your solo for the next album." The Vice President exclaims.

Diana manages to keep her laughs to herself at how panicked SongStress was. "This is too funny." She murmurs. "You feel obligated to do this, right?"

SongStress continues to ignore her as their full attention was on Jen. Jen felt like this was the most attention they gave her since she first started off in the group. "You want to be in TV Shows? We got you covered." The manager points out.

"Why are you doing all this now and not when I was patiently waiting and asking when it would be my turn?" Jen questions.

"Look we have been busy and-"

"Very busy with Hailey, that's for sure." She points out.

"Look we need you-" The President looks at her in despair.

"No, you don't. You need me to have Hailey be the spotlight. I said no, so please just let me leave this company." She pleads, earning harsh glares from the company as they give up.

"Fine. Then leave." The President waves her away.

"Thank you for this experience." She stands up and heads to the door with Diana.

"Oh and Jen?" The President speaks up.

She stops and turns. "I hope you realize how much of mistake you're making." He warns, narrowing his eyes.

She smiles and turns back around. "I hope you realize how much of a blessing this decision was for me." She counters and leaves with Diana.

After packing her things, saying goodbye to Angelina, Jen decides to unfollow Amity on Instagram and twitter but Angelina as fans start questioning it quickly.

After a couple hours, she was fed up at the constant notifications of Amity and decides to just deactivate her twitter, delete her Instagram and change her phone and number, to get away from it all.

---

After leaving and going back home, Jennie went back to high school, while continuing to learn Korean and training for singing and dancing. Things were how they used to be. Going to school, still singing and dancing for fun.

But she felt like something was missing. She still wanted to perform. But she didn't want to be in another situation like she was with SongStress. As a result, she researched different companies. The K-Pop itch came back as she decided to check out what SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment were offering.

She managed to go to an SM Entertainment audition but they told her she's not what they're looking for and she didn't look like a K-Pop star. She was upset at the unsuccessful attempt but she was glad they didn't take her. She didn't want to get any plastic surgery if they wanted her to.

As much as she wanted to be apart of SM Entertainment, she felt like their style wasn't for her and she wanted to be apart of a company that wasn't one of the huge companies if possible. Start from the bottom and work her way up. Win awards and break records that aren't from the Big 3 companies.

As 2013 rolls around, she suddenly gets a phone call out of the blue from Diana in mid-January.

"This is rare!" Jen beams, happy to hear her voice.

"Very, it's been a while! How you been?"

"I'm doing all right. But I'm getting that itch again."

"Well, you're in luck because it's about to be scratched."

"What do you mean?"

"I was just curious, you still want to sing and dance, right?"

"Right!"

"You still studying Korean?"

"You betcha!"

"There's an audition coming up, for a South Korean Company called BigHit Entertainment. They're looking for some trainees. Now, I know it's not like SM Entertainment or YG Entertainment, and BigHit seems like they're not big on foreigners at the moment but you never know what'll happen. Don't let that discourage you. You up for it?"

"It's worth a shot. I want to try."

"Okay, I'll set you up so you can go to the audition in New York. Start preparing. I'll email you what they're looking for so you can practice."

"Thank you so much!"

---

After a week of training, Jen and her parents arrive at the private audition. She heads inside to sit in the waiting room, while she sees others, older and even younger, male and female, preparing for their audition. One by one their names were called as they went inside.

"Jennifer Walker." A woman calls her name, standing in the doorway with a clipboard in hand.
Hearing her name get called caused her stomach to drop. Jennie attempts to ignore the nervousness as she stands up and is lead inside by the woman.

'Everything is going to be OK. You worked hard, things will be fine.' She tries to reassure herself as she goes into a dance practice room where she sees the panel of three males, staring at her as soon as she walks in.

The three males look up at her. Before they were checking out her headshots and information.

Age 15

5 foot 3

Her experience with singing and dancing since elementary school and being a part of SongStress Entertainment with Amity for over a year. She also has four years of experience playing the guitar.

Her heart began to race as she remembers to bow and politely greet them.

"So you have experience with music videos and performing live?" She was asked.

"Yes. Amity has done a number of music videos and a tour around the US."

"Why did you leave?"

Jennie swallows as she unfortunately remembers bad memories. "New opportunities. I felt like SongStress wasn't the place for me. I still want to perform. I love performing." A smile is shown on her face.

"Sing an English song for us." They request as she nods.

She decides to sing Rihanna's California King Bed with an instrumental from her phone. She starts off nervously, but after a few lines, she gains more confidence and sings out, before they stop her after the chorus. Afterwards she had to sing a Korean song, and she chose Wonder Girls' Me In as she finds an instrumental on her phone.

"Hey beautiful boy, let me love you, right now~" The nervousness was gone from her singing and filled with more power and confidence as she sings until after the chorus. She began to feel her face heat up after they told her to stop because she was getting too into it.

After the singing, they told her to dance, so she put on 2NE1's I Am The Best, nailing the dance moves on beat, and almost forgetting that this was an audition because she felt like she was in her room again, dancing happily to the song like she always does.

Finally, they take photos of her for headshots and to see how she'll look like on camera.
After the photos, the audition was over as she went back to the panel and was told by the men at the table, "We're developing a boy group but were thinking of having one girl in it too. We'll get back to you. That's all for today."

"Thank you so much for taking the time to see me." She bows again.
-----
After a week later, Jen was on her laptop with her headphones in, listening to 2NE1's I Am The Best while checking her email. She suddenly sees an email from BigHit a couple hours ago. Her eyes widen and her stomach drops.

Was this her result of the audition?

She slowly clicks it open and her throat tightens, making hot tears fill up her eyes. She read the email a couple times to comprehend what was happening. She passed and they wanted her to become a trainee at their company.

She wipes the tears of joy from her eyes and screams in her pillow. Afterwards, she tries to collect herself. "Let's not get too ahead of myself. Let's take it one day at a time, Jennie. Things are going to be just fine. Oh my God, I can't believe this is happening!" She smiles and then runs down stairs to tell her parents.

"Guys, I got great news!"

Notes

Author’s Note- Hey!! I’m starting off with a story idea I’ve had for a couple months. I decided to put my own perspective and imagination on what if BTS had a female in their group from America. This’ll be a long story from their debut to today, so enjoy the ride!

I want this character to be relatable and grow as a performer while she’s in BTS as well as go through hardships. It’ll be a slow start but it will get better as the chapters go on, I hope you give it a chance.

This will mainly start off with friendship. Not just the character and the love interest. I don’t want to rush things and I want to add in cute moments and etc. As well as show her friendship with the other members and even being friends with other people from different groups, having cute moments with them too.

I probably won’t make the character and Jungkook a couple until around the 2016ish stage. It took me a couple months to prepare and do research so I can get a good timeline and I want to add everything in it, from them at KCon, going to school in South Korea, Variety Shows, Interviews, sasaeng fans, the American hustle Life, VLive videos, all of that stuff. I haven’t really seen any of that or scenarios that I thought would be it so I decided to make my own.
I only finished one chapter so far, but the next time I update, I’ll make sure to have a lot of chapters done so I won’t make you wait a long time for me to update. Right now there’s over 80 chapters so far. As always it’s a slow start but once the character gets to South Korea it’ll blast off from there.

This is my first KPOP story. If you like this and continue to read it, thank you, and leave a like and/or comment your thoughts. Enjoy the positive atmosphere!
