Days After...

03.09.2011

Taehyung wore his red jacket and black jeans as he and his dad packed their backpacks, ready to embark on their journey to Seoul. Excitement and nerves filled his heart as he imagined the exhilarating turn his life was about to take. As the cityscape gradually changed outside the car window, Taehyung couldn't help but feel the weight of the momentous occasion.

"Are you nervous, Taehyung?" his dad asked, glancing at him while driving.

"Yes, Appa, I'm so excited! Finally, my dream will be realized," Taehyung replied, a big smile on his face.

"Remember, Taehyung, you should not forget about your high school studies. Your dream can only be complete with a good education. Studying will strengthen your personality, teach you your rights, and how to defend them. Becoming an idol with a diploma from university is a great achievement, right?" Taehyung's dad said with a serious expression.

"You're right, Dad. I won't forget about my studies. I'll work hard for my diploma at Seoul High School and university, while pursuing my new career. I won't disappoint you, just trust me," Taehyung said, placing his hand over his chest.

"I always trust you, TaeTae. And if you face any problems, just call me, okay?" Taehyung's dad said, looking at his son, who embraced him tightly. "I love you, Dad," Taehyung whispered.

"I love you too, Taehyun-ah," his dad replied softly.

Upon arriving to Seoul, they skillfully navigated the bustling streets until they stood before the towering BH Music Company building. Its modern architecture loomed above them, emanating a sense of importance and possibility. With a mixture of anticipation and anxiety, they stepped through the doors, eager to commence the next steps of their adventure.

"Hello, sir. How can I help you?" greeted the secretary behind the front desk, her voice polite yet efficient.

"My son, Taehyung, was accepted in the audition that took place at your office in Daegu. We were instructed to come to Seoul for the next steps," Taehyung's dad explained with a warm smile.

The secretary looked up from her computer, her eyes scanning the information. "May I have your son's name, please?" she asked.

With his boxy smile, Taehyung stepped forward, bowing respectfully. "Kim Taehyung," he introduced himself.

After a brief pause, the secretary's expression changed. "Ah, yes. Mr. Kim Taehyung. Please wait a moment; I will inform the manager," she said before dialing a number.

Minutes later, the manager, Sejin, arrived with a friendly smile. "Hello, I'm Seujin, the manager of the group," he introduced himself, extending his hand.

Taehyung's dad shook his hand firmly. "Nice to meet you, sir. I'm Taehyung's dad, and this is my son, Kim Taehyung," he said, emphasizing his pride.

Taehyung bowed respectfully to Sejin. "Annyeonghaseyo, my name is Kim Taehyung, sir," he greeted with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Sejin's eyes crinkled in a warm smile. "Hello, Taehyung. It's a pleasure to meet you," he replied, his tone reassuring.

"Please come with me to the general manager's office; he is waiting for you," Sejin invited, gesturing for them to follow.

As they walked through the sleek corridors, Taehyung couldn't help but marvel at the bustling atmosphere of the company. The walls were adorned with posters of successful artists, their vibrant images fueling his dreams.

Upon entering the general manager's office, Taehyung and his dad were greeted by Bang PD. The room exuded an aura of authority and creativity.

"Welcome," Bang PD said with a warm smile. "I'm pleased to meet you both. Let's discuss the necessary details."

The conversation flowed smoothly, and as the meeting concluded, Bang PD handed Taehyung's dad the contract for signing. With a mixture of pride and responsibility, Taehyung's dad carefully reviewed the document before placing his signature on the dotted line.

"Now that you are officially a member of the group, Mr. Sejin will accompany you to meet the group's leader, Namjoon," Bang PD explained, acknowledging the significance of this moment.

Outside the office, Seujin stood waiting, accompanied by another boy. "Mr. Kim, this is Mr. Namjoon. He will be the leader of the group," Sejin introduced.

Namjoon bowed respectfully, extending his hand. "Hello, sir. I'm Kim Namjoon. It's a pleasure to meet you," he said, his voice filled with warmth and sincerity.

Taehyung's dad shook Namjoon's hand with a firm grip. "Hello, Namjoon. I'm Kim Taehyung's dad. My son will be joining your group from now on. Please take care of him; he has a good heart and is innocent," he expressed, a hint of concern in his eyes.

Namjoon's smile widened. "Of course, don't worry, sir. He will be under my responsibility, and I'll treat him like a little brother," he reassured, his voice radiating confidence.
