My Idol's Destiny
Introducing me and my trainee friends!
Have you ever thought of becoming a kpop idol?
Many girls dream of that, but a few get the chance.
Yes..those with high ambitions after a lot of mental will and struggle pass through this.
20 years old Yurika is such a person.
Yurika
I knew that..I would be able to do this. I knew that here I will be able to make deep friends that I can actually relate with and share my happiness and sadness..and I am glad that I am not alone anymore.
Yurika
But..to get here I had to do a lot of work.
Yurika
I formed habits and all and then from my small country with no opportunities I moved to Japan with my own efforts and then from there..I moved to Korea.
Yurika
Honestly, I was skeptical at first if I will be able to thrive here, even though I showed a lot of confidence to other people ..deep down I was always that nervous little girl who has her own little fantasies.
Yurika
But..thanks to my never giving up nature, I actually was able to sign myself up with YG entertainment.
Yurika
Now...I am a trainee here..and I still have a long way to go! So I won't boast more..but I met some really great friends here, and I am so glad that I met them.
Butter
I am her bestie Butter..Yurika is a little crazy which u won't know at the beginning but once u get to know her, u will see her childhood cutie self. But that's why it makes me wanna protect her more. It's been a year we met, but she really makes me treat her like a younger sister. This girl always gets into trouble without following my wise advice . Geez. 🤦🏻♀
Yurika
Heyyyy. That was so unnecessary to say. 😑😑😑
Norcy
I am Norcy. I am also a trainee here. The fact that I like about Butter and Yurika is they ain't fake like the rest of the people. Others always compliment me with fake stuffs even though they don't mean it. These two are totally different. Our friendship started with a little bit of war though, I didn't like those girls at first and was rude to them but then..somehow became friends with them...lol. Does that make sense? -_-
Yurika
Well, u got backlash from us cuz of your ego 😐😐
Butter
Yes, we opened your eyes.
Norcy
Can we not talk about that?
Yurika
Yeah, what's important is..I got friends like you guys and now we are going to try our best to become the best kpop idols! We have our stories and didn't get the support that we needed..but that's what made us bold right? So, we are here right? That's all we need.
Kaki
You guys literally forgot to introduce me.
Norcy
Ok, this our another nagging friend who never stops talking-
Butter
Ok, so incase the readers are wondering, this goofy looking guy has become our friend in some weird incident . He is a male trainee at YG. The company doesn't really restrict us talking to him. Maybe because they know that we are pure friends.
Kaki
Am I that unattractive? 😔
Norcy
Maybe if u didn't talk that much u would-
Yurika
(in mind) I just love these guys bickering 😂🤣😂🤣
Yurika
So..yeah that's my friendship situation here. It's all lively here.
Yurika
Honestly before coming here I was skeptical if I would get such good friends..but to my pleasant surprise, it was worth it.
Yurika
All I need to do now, is focus on my goals.
Her days at YG goes quite well. She barely has time to think about relationships. But even though, sometimes while going to sleep the thought of that one guy still pops up in her mind.
The idol guy who is famous all over the world.
He is one of the reason why she came to Korea.
You may say that's the power of delusional love?
Of course her main dream and goal is singing and not that idol of course.
But he was a part of the goal..that's why she decided to become a singer of Korea when she was 18, she set that goal for herself.
She made a whole plan . She first went to Japan and then from Japan moved to Korea. In Japan she met Butter who to her surprise had the same goal as her. To get into YG. Both of them did the audition together and to their surprise their hard work paid of . They both got into YG.
Now they are training here and her friends made her life so lively, unlike what it was before.
It has been three months she came here and she quickly adjusted to this life.
Coming back to the idol...
It's a big story..she had some kind of weird connection with this idol, before she even came to Korea, but as for the fact...was it her delusion or something more is there..we would know later.
"It wasn't her imagination only...because everything..
That's it for today. To find out what was the connection between this mysterious guy and Yurika, read the next episode!
Unspoken Past
Yurika
Heyy u lazy as* girl. Wake up!! It's already 6:00 am now. 😑
Yurika
Did u forget that today an important guest will come to see our dance improvement??
Butter
Let her sleep for a while I guess.. 🤷🏻♀
Yurika
Gosh these late birds..
Yurika
Butter, should we do our trio practice dance without Norcy then?
Yurika
Lily sis might get angry at us.
Butter
Come on bestie . Sometimes u need to chill down.
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
Girls have u started your practice?-
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
*looks at the girls*
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
*sighs*
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
I knew it..
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
You girls need to learn some lessons.
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
Even though you three are my most favourite trainees, because Norcy you-
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
You are the best dancer here.
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
And YOU Butter. You are the best rapper.
Butter
Thanks..Lily sis. 😷
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
AND YURIKA you are the best singer here.
Yurika
That means a lot..hehe 🐿
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
But stop being proud.
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
You guys still have a long way to go.
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
If you don't work hard enough and keep sleeping without practice like Norcy, you will never be able to debut.
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
Do you want that?
Everyone:- Of course not. We are sorry!! 😖😖😖
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
So, you have a punishment.
Everyone gets scared. They wonder what kind of punishment will be given to these three most best and unique students .
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
You all will visit the concert of your senior idols from YG, JYP BigHit and some other famous companies and I believe that talking to them face to face will improve your motivation and inspiration. You all need to learn collaboration skills from now on. So it makes sense. This will happen tomorrow.
Norcy almost screams out of happiness and whispers to Butter.
Norcy
*whispers* Is it just me or this seem more like a blessing then a punishment???? !!!😖😖
Butter
I guess , her punishment is just improving our social skills xD *whispers*
This is the moment Yurika wonders..
Yurika
(in mind) What if...I meet him..
Yurika
No no YURIKA you can't think of him. I am pretty sure Ms.Lily mean female idols...Jerry won't be there.
Yurika
Didn't I promise myself that I won't be delusional anymore !? and it will be only in my imagination...it is not real...
Yurika
I am afraid that if I meet Jerry then I will mess it up..what if I say something weird like "do u know me?" or something..mistakenly and he think I am Crazy.....
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
Yurika?
Yurika
Y-yes sis Lily?*nervous*
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
You seem really worried. I thought you all will be happy.
Butter
*slaps Yurika's back* OF COURSE she is happy . Come on Yuri!!
At night when they all go to sleep and Butter and Norcy is talking about how they are so excited to meet famous idols and they wonder who they are.
Butter
Do you think it would be Lisa or Jennie or something??
Norcy
Man, IU is my idol 😭😭
Butter
What about the boy idols though?
Norcy
Man, I always dreamt of meeting Jerry and Ted . 😭
Norcy
Yurika u are blushing 🤣
Yurika
(in mind) I hope I didn't give it away..that I am still hopelessly in love with this idol Jerry...
Flashbacks goes through her memory.
When she was 18..she had an unusual connection with this idol.
She could somehow control what the idol does.
Before , she thought that it was just a coincidence.
Yurika
*with closed eye* Jerry YOU are gonna come LIVE today on weverse.
Yurika
Haha that's a coencidence for sure.
Other fans in instagram:- Did u guys see??? Jerry came LIVE after so many months.
Yurika
So he didn't before..? anyways doesn't mean anything. Let's try again.
Yurika
*closed eyes* JERRY will come LIVE wearing a black t-shirt with a pink thing on it.
Yurika
Ok this won't happen. Otherwise I will believe that I have supernatural powers 😂😂
Yurika always believed in destiny and so..not always but..since she was something like 16.
She believed everything has a reason.
She knew she had someone out there waiting for her.
what's this weird thing now?
Jerry has been a famous idol worldwide.
Since Yurika was 15, she had known about Jerry from her friends.
She wasn't into kpop at that time though.
Later, becoming a kpop idol became her dream and so here she is now..
Yurika
Those coincidences weren't the only ones though..since she was 18 these kept happening.
Yurika
Everytime..I wanted him to come to LIVE he would.
Yurika
I don't know how..what's this weird telepathy.
Yurika
Sometimes he used to come to LIVE just with what I needed.
Yurika
For example..I did a unique boylike haircut once..and the bullies at school started laughing at me.
Yurika
and I was feeling horrible..
Yurika
to my surprise I came home and guess what...the idol Jerry did the same exact haircut.
Yurika
I might be crazy but it felt like he is telling me through some invisible wall between us.. "Yurika don't worry. I like your hairstyle"
Yurika
It just felt amazing...?
Yurika
And before I knew it..I got addicted to this mysterious thing between us. There was no real communication between us...but these little things kept happening and it became more and more impossible for me to deny that I indeed have some kind of telepathic connection with Jerry.
Yurika
I don't know why..and how but..
Yurika
I never knew that something that I just did for fun would turn so serious..and I would totally fall in love with him like this.
Yurika
The questions in my head were "does he know me too? " "is he seeing me in his dreams or something?"
Yurika
And...to add to my suspicion..
Yurika
He did something even weirder one day.
Yurika
It was the middle of 2023.
Yurika
And..he made some songs..whose lyrics when I read it...described our situation almost perfectly. It was a love song..about wanting somebody who you don't really know..?
Yurika
Honestly..my type is the bad boy teaser type (the supporter one though)
Yurika
and..this guy is completely opposite..he is sweet and innocent and kinda clueless but that's what people love about him.
Yurika
But...I could give up my fantasy of having a bad boy lover..if I could at least once meet him and hopefully find out was any of those real..?
(Yurika wonders in her mind)
Yurika
I knew that this day would come...but didn't know that it will come so soon.
Yurika
I promised myself at the end of 2023 that I would not try to artificially find out what's on his mind. I would just live normally without having any expectations from him.
Yurika
At one point I convinced myself not to be such a hopeless romantic and just focus on my works..
Yurika
I guess I can finally find out..what was all that going on between him and me..and see if it's just me...
The start in the irl
Well...if you think that's what she thought, not really.
Yes , that's what she thought initially, but now she is afraid to go because.
[February]
(The time when she was just a student in South Asia)
Yurika
I don't wanna keep being delusional anymore. I don't know what was that but I am so done.
Yurika
I have to forget him. Like really..
For some reasons, she would see him posting photos that made him look sad after this incident..but she can't go back, as she already promised herself that she is done with this.
Even though she told herself that she was done with it...she just couldn't. She was just lying to herself that she is not into him.
And Days passed by like this.
She got so busy achieving her dream that..deep down she always had him in her mind but instantly tried to forget it.
She wonders if this will actually happen now.
Will she actually meet him..?
Yurika
Uh..Ms.Lily..can I..p-pass
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
*glares at her*
If you are wondering, why would she wanna pass when she can finally meet him....
the reason is, she just don't know how she will react infront of him.
What if she says something crazy in front of everyone and make a fool out of herself.
what if...this meeting isn't a divine plan or anything but just a coencidence?
Yurika
...whatever it is. I will try to keep my calm and pretend that I don't know him much duh.
Yurika
If the truth has to come..it will come anyways but for now, I can't be all "Hey I love you" in my eyes.
Ms.Lily (in charge of the trainee)
Hey y'all ready.
Norcy
Yes!! We are excited. Isn't it Yuri??? *looks at Yuri*
Yurika
Haha..yeah...sure. *makes nervous face*
Butter
Hey it's okay to be nervous, because we are meeting celebrities, bae. But remember, that we are also gonna be celebreties !!! *gets into the car*
Yurika
Yeah..of course..! I am fine.
Manager of the Blooms (kpop group)
Guys, today you all are meeting new potential trainies from our fellow neighbours company. *calls all the band members*
Tyler
Uhhhh why do we have to??? We are already very famous. We don't need them.
Tyler
I mean..we are good like this..right?But..now that I think about it..maybe it will help us learn something?
I don't have time to go to random places.
