7 A New Challenge
The room was small and simple, different from the extravagance of the rest of the building. Posters of stars hung proudly on the walls. Jhope thought their outfits looked very artistic. That was a compliment.
In a corner of the room sat a woman with white streaks in her short black hair. She wore a long white doctor's coat and was surrounded by blue projections. When she turned to face her visitors, they realized in surprise that the woman actually looked very young and pretty. Underneath the coat was a beautiful bohemian style dress.
"Mr. Bang, these are your new trainees, right?" The woman examined each member of BTS closely.
"Yes, Ms. Kim. I will leave them in your care." The man replied gently, then he left with the robot. Again with that weird fawning smile! Suga thought, uncomfortable.
"Alright, I will be measuring your voices and bodies here." Ms. Kim said in a loud voice. The members slowly nodded.
She took out a scanner from the table and scanned each of the boys one by one. As she looked at the results, her face became more and more surprised. After that, she became much more welcoming. When Ms. Kim finished the voice tests, you could tell she was truly impressed and shaken to the core. Where did that Bang Sihyuk find these geniuses?!
Meanwhile, Hitman Bang was fidgeting nervously outside, waiting for some sort of sign. He was truly worried. Those ignorant boys don't know how hard it is to please that Kim. She hates me! If they make a mistake, she'll make it hell for all of us!
The automatic doors behind him opened.
"The robot that brought you here will bring you to the area for the actual tests for new trainees. Goodbye, boys! If you ever need something, feel free to come here for help. My influence is pretty big here. Hehe." Ms. Kim gushed.
Hitman Bang's head blanked out. Who am I? Where is this? Are my eyes okay? He had never seen Ms. Kim act like this before anyone except her father. How did these boys achieve it? He stared at his recruits incredulously.
The man was about to follow the boys to the trainee room in a stupor when someone grabbed his hand and yanked him back.
"Who, What, When, Where, Why, How?" Ms. Kim had a fervent glint in her pearl-like eyes.
Hitman Bang stared back, uncomprehending.
--------------
The trainee room was just like the medical room, except it was much, much bigger. There were no mirrors or windows, just wooden walls surrounded the place.
There was a crowd of young men standing around the room. They all had superior features and were extremely tall. Some were stocky while others looked more feminine. They ranged from very young kids to people who looked like in their early twenties.
At one end of the room, there was a glass table where five people sat, staring loftily at everyone else. These people confused BTS, they looked as if they were in their late twenties yet they were also regarded as elders.
"Good afternoon. I'm sure that all of you had practiced the song that you received two days ago very well. The tests will begin in two hours. Please rest for now." An "elder" with the nameplate Lee Seunghyun boomed.
????????? Two hours? Hitman Bang, who had just gotten rid of Ms. Kim's pestering and ran over to the trainee room, wanted to faint. He never managed an idol group before and so never paid attention to anything about the category.
When Hitman Bang first met BTS, the reason he was so enthusiastic was that the modeling category was having their tests today and his only managed model had transferred management to a more popular manager.
He rubbed his eyes in exasperation and was about to tell the boys not to bother when he realized they were gone. He swung his head around, trying to find them. They can't randomly run around in this place! Then, he spotted them speaking to the judges. Oh, thank goodness I found them!
Wait, where are they? He spotted them speaking to the judges and Lee Seunghyun listening to an amused expression. Amused expression? Noooo! My career is over. While Hitman bang was thining in memory of his lost job and how to sue those troublemakers, the "troublemakers" walked over to him with a piece of paper.
------ Flashback to BTS talking to Lee Seunghyun------
The BTS members were also in shock after hearing the announcement, however, they thought it would be an interesting but not impossible challenge. After all, they weren't the Kpop legends and seniors in terms of idols for nothing.
"Excuse me, sir, " RM began, getting Mr. Lee's attention. "We would like to fill out an application to enter the idol tests."
Lee Seunghyun expression didn't change much, but those familiar with him knew that a storm was coming. This guy is merciless.
"Ok, this is it. You can get a room to practice in too. Number...6." The man handed a piece of paper to RM. "By the way, who is managing you?"
RM racked his brains. Hitman Bang is probably one right? "Hitman Bang."
"Bang Sihyuk?" The judge asked in confirmation.
RM nodded and left with his brothers.
Lee Seunghyun smiled. His colleagues beside him trembled in anger. That dammed useless piece of trash! Who does he think he is, advertising himself as a hitmaker and after our precious JinHit??
