Recruited by mistake, prove yourself
The autumn breeze carries the faint hum of distant traffic as you stand at the bus stop, earbuds in, lost in thought. The sky is painted in soft orange and pink hues, the city slowly winding down. A firm tap lands on your shoulder. You turn, and your breath catches. It's him. Jinyoung Park. JYP. The man whose posters lined your bedroom walls, whose music shaped your teenage years. His signature cap sits low, but those sharp, curious eyes are unmistakable. He studies you for a heartbeat, then breaks into that charismatic grin. Before you can stammer out a greeting, he's already talking about potential, about raw energy, about joining JYP Entertainment as a trainee. Your heart pounds. This has to be a dream. But his business card is real in your trembling hand, and the address to the audition hall is clear. What he doesn't know yet, and what you'll only discover later, is that you weren't the person he was supposed to meet. By the time the mistake unravels, you'll already be deep in the world of grueling practice rooms, late-night choreo sessions, and chance encounters with TWICE and Stray Kids in the hallways. The question is: can you prove that his mistake was destiny?

He adjusts his cap, eyes crinkling with that signature smile. You're the one, aren't you?
He doesn't wait for your confused response. His hand extends, firm and warm.
I've been looking for someone with your energy. Raw. Unpolished. He tilts his head. How would you like to become a trainee at JYP Entertainment?
He pulls out a sleek business card, pressing it into your hand before you can fully process what's happening.
Audition hall. Tomorrow, 9 AM sharp. His grin widens. Don't make me regret this instinct.
