First Life //Ateez

¦5¦

"It's a boy! Its a boy!"

Nurses were going in and out of the hospital room, preparing everything for the newborn baby to arrive.
Cries filled the room, signalling the arrival of this small miracle.

The woman on the bed laid exhausted on it, having barely heard what the nurses and doctors were talking about.

This was the first time she had heard about the babys gender. She wanted it to be a surprise, and noone could say anything about it.

Her hair was sticking to her forehead due to the sweat, and the people around her were wiping it with cold, wet towels. Her breaths were quick and labored, but soon enough she found a steady rhythm.

It wasn't long after when another nurse came on, handing her a blue blanket, the baby safely wrapped inside.

Tears formed in her eyes, and took it gently, craddling it on her chest. The baby, understanding he was on his mothers embrace, moved his head to be closer to her.

That made the first tear to fall from her eyes, and bent down, placing a featherly kiss on his small head.

"Ahh, my little baby. Mommy loves you so much. My little star. My little Seonghwa"

~~~~~

"Seonghwa, please come down from the tree!" A womans voice was heard, worriedly running towards the big tree on their garden.

"But mommy look! Look at all the sky! There are some things moving!"

"They're birds baby. They're flying away from here"

"I want to fly too! I want to be a bird too!" The six year old Seonghwa said enthusiastically, keeping his eyes glued to the sky above him.

"Come down from there first little man" His mother laughed, moving closer, and helped Seonghwa down. The little was way too excited and hyperactive, that he started running around the garden.

The woman laughed and let him be. At least he was away from danger. Her son soon found something else flying, and started chasing it.

"Look mommy, is this a bird too?" He asked, still chasing it.

"No baby. That's a butterfly"

"A.. A buffer.. What?" That was enough for Seonghwa to stop and look his mother, letting the small insect fly away.

"Aww love, butterfly. It's an insect" That didn't do much to little Seonghwa, who still kept looking at her curiously.

"Come on little man. I think I have a book about them. Maybe we can learn from it"

~~~~~~

"How was school baby?"

"It was good mom. But why do we have to learn all this stuff?" A fourteen year old Seonghwa answered, sitting in the kitchen where his mother was.
"Where is everyone?"

"Your father still at work and your brother hasn't come back from school. But they'll be here in a minute. Can you help me prepare the food?"

"Of course mom. Wait a minute" He said and went to wash his hands, changing also his clothes, since he didn't want to dirty them.

Helping his mother was the most enjoyable moment of the day. Especially when it involved cooking. His mother would always teach him New technics and recipes, Seonghwa following them to the t.

And that was how they spent most of their time. The two of them preparing delicious food for the family.

Just when Seonghwa had started to clean the table, to door opened, revealing his father walking together inside the house.

"Dad, brother, hello!"

~~~~

"Seonghwa, can you come to the board and answer the question?" The teacher asked the boy, and he quickly stood up from his seat.

Thankfully the question wasn't so difficult and he managed to solve it rather quickly, even the teacher was impressed.

College life wasn't exactly the best, but Seonghwa managed to go through it. His friends and family were there to support him, making this more bearable.

"Seonghwa, will you come with us? Were going to practise for the school Performance" One of his friends said, after the class ended.

"Of course I'll come. What did you think?"

"Ehh who knows.. Maybe you were busy with something?"

"No, Im not. What time?"

"After school. At the usual place. We're gonna be leaving early, so we will wait for you there"

"OK, that's good to hear. See you then"

"Bye Seonghwa"

~~

After school, after so many hours of tiring classes, Seonghwa was finally free and walking to their spot. He had sent a message to his mom, saying to not wait for him for lunch.

He was listening to music, whistling from time to time the tune. He was looking ahead of him, and soon spotted something on a lamp post.

He moved closer, curiously eyeing the contents.

Kq entertainment
Auditions starting next month.

~~~~~

Seonghwa stared at the door in front of him, the door to the kq building. After seeing the paper with the auditions, he was quick to apply. 

The waiting time before they could reply was filled with anxiousness and almost sleepless nights, but he didn't let that discourage him. He was preparing himself, ready to show his skills and maybe have a chance to become a trainee under the company.

He didn't have time to process his decision, it was as if it was calling him. For some reason he could not explain, he felt drawn to it. He was sure that something amazing was going to happen and he wasn't going to regret his decision. He felt almsot completed.

He pushed the door open, and walked inside, seeing other people already waiting there.

"Ahh you must be Park Seonghwa" A man said approachinf him, and he nodded. The man gave him a pin with a number written on it, and gave it to Seonghwa.

"Wear this. When you hear your name, walk through that door. Good luck on your audition"

Seonghwa smiled thankfully at him, and took the pin from his hand, attaching it to his jacket. He had lost track of time, findling anxiously with his fingers, and that's when he heard it.

"Park Seonghwa. You're up next"
