YOOA's POV

After the party you went back to practice. Last week you got good news from your parents. Your dad was promoted. He said after some months he would rent an apartment for you, so you had your own space. You didn't want to at first, because you got closer to the other girls, but then you relized it would be better for you and the girls. You always came late back to the dorm and the girls would been sleeping and you didn't want to bother them.

The year 2010 ended and you went back to L.A. to celebrate New Year with your Family. All your uncles, aunts and cousins came. It was great, you told them about your trainee life and just had a great time together, just like you used to in the past.

You also met your new cousins who you never met in person, Insoo, Aaron and Eunsoo. They were really cute and you envied Eddy, Shawn, Youngsoo and Minsoo for getting to see then every day. They told you that they would gladly trade and that their crying is annoying.

After a week you went back to Korea to continue your practice. You always got praising from the teachers and you thought the week would end great, but you heard some bad news. You wanted to make sure if it was true, so you called Namjoon.

He confirmed it. Ikje was leaving Bangtan. You wanted to meet him, but you thought that it was his decision and you wanted to respect it. You saw him at the entrance of the Entertainment building so you went towards him, to bid farewell.

"Ikje! Wait!" you ran towards him.

"Yes?" he turned to you.

"So... I heard about you and Bangtan. I don't want to ask anything, I respect your decision. I just wanted to say Bye...." you laughed nervously.

"Thank you. I think its not really what I wanted. I mean the Idol life. I think its the best if I leave. Thank you for always beeing so kind to me and good luck. I will wait for your debut." he hugged you. You hugged him back and tried your best not to cry.

●○After two days○●

You were with the girls at the dorm. All of you looking down. Some were already crying.

"Don't cry. I'm at fault. I should have been practicing more...." Bora said.

The Entertainment decided to throw her out, because she didn't improve. She wasn't good in dancing, singing or rapping and the staff didn't see a good future for her in the Entertainment.

She was packing her stuff, she had to leave the dorm. It was a first time for you seeing someone leave the dorm, but the others had already experienced it. New people come, but many also leave, even close friends.

It was hard seeing her packing her stuff, then leaving with her luggage while crying. It was the end for her dream. She could audition for other Entertainments, but she didn't have enough money. She has to pay BigHit now for the training.

Trainees won't have to pay anything while they are trainees. They will also get to live in a dorm. But not for free of course. It will become a debt that everyone has to pay back. If you get to debut, it will be deducted from the salary you will earn. If you leave the Entertainment you or your family will have to pay it back.

The rest of the week went by normal. Waking up, getting ready for the day, going to school, then practice in the Entertainment, doing the homework from school on your break times, going back to the dorm late at night and getting ready to sleep after eating something from the convient store.

It was hard and you didn't know if you could continue it for a long time. You were exhausted, but the boys cheered you up.

Weeks past, more and more trainees left and new ones came. A new member was added to Bangtan. His name was Hyosang. You were introduced to him on the party they had, like they did for Donghyuk.
