"We just need to basically recap because the audition dance routine is similar to the one you practiced in TRIM, Anashe, so you won't have problems doing that dance routine, right?" My choreographer said, and I nodded as I had a clear picture of what I was doing. Anurak was being helped with his dance routine, and they would ask him to add some dance moves he knew very well, and his dance routine was coming along perfectly. As usual, we spent the entire day practicing and perfecting our dance routine.
My character, Cynthia, would audition to a K-pop song, and it was all new for me as it was my first time professionally dancing to a K-pop song, which was also exciting. The song we were going to use was "Bet You Wanna" by Blackpink feat. Cardi B for Cynthia and Joseph's audition. Our director chose it because the choreography with this song was few. The part of the song we were going to use was the time stamp 0:37-1:17. The audition would be a 2-minute thing in the movie, so the dances were not meant to be long. It wasn't strictly a K-pop song, but it had K-pop elements.
At around 18:00, we were all packed and ready to go, but our director asked to talk to Anurak and me. "So I was invited to dinner by my friend, and he asked me to invite both of you. So go and get ready, and I will pick you guys around 20:00, okay?"
"Yes, of course. I would never say no to food," I said, smiling.
We were then dropped at our hotel, and I quickly got ready, but I was not sure of what I should wear between a dress, skirt, and trousers. I then decided to wear Black Ripped Boyfriend Jeans, a Black Spaghetti Top, and a Black Jean Crop Jacket along with White Reebok x Cardi Sneakers. At 20:00, we were in the car driving to the friend's house. We drove while listening and jamming to songs; I was the loudest singer as I was hyped up about eating out. We arrived, and the apartment was beautiful.
We were welcomed by the Bang Si-hyuk, and I was shocked. Anurak and I looked at each other with our eyes wide open, "No freaking way," I mouthed to Anurak. We looked at them and bowed to greet him. "The famous Anashe and Mr. Wang, welcome," he said.
"Annyeongaseyeo," Anurak and I said at the same time. He welcomed us into his apartment, and it was elegant. We walked to the dining room, and seven men were sitting there. Anurak and I were behind the two old men, and I whispered to Anurak, "If surprise was a person, it would definitely be our old director. How the hell does he know Mr. Bang Si Hyuk… I won't be surprised if he would introduce us to Barack Obama," I said, trying to contain my excitement. Anurak chuckled silently, but I knew he wanted to laugh out loud. "I am seriously not joking," I added while looking at him. He wanted to smile but quickly became serious. I nudged him, "Come on, laugh. I know you want to laugh," I said, smiling and laughing silently. He cleared his throat and indicated that I look in front. I looked in front, and all eyes were on me. "Annyeongaseyeo, Annyeongaseyeo, Annyeongaseyeo," I quickly said while bowing. Anurak was laughing silently on my side, and I smiled nervously. They all laughed at me. The BTS members were next to us; we greeted each other properly. "Hey, my name is Anashe. Nice to meet you," I said, bowing.
We went to sit, and I was sitting between Mr. Jung Hoseok, Mr. Jeon Jung-kook, and Anurak was sitting with Mr. Min Yoongi and Mr. Kim Taehyung. Mr. Park Jimin was sitting with Mr. Kim Namjoon, Mr. Seok Jin. Mr. McQueen (our director) had gone somewhere with Mr. Bang PD.
"So, how is the movie coming along?" Mr. Namjoon asked. All eyes were on me, and Anurak was also looking at me with the "please answer" look. "Uhm… Uhm, it's coming along good. We still have a lot to do, especially for the concert where we will be filming," I said.
"Oh yeah, I heard that you will be filming during the concert and you will be performing too… are you excited?" he asked again.
"Yes, very excited. Uhm, what about you guys?" I asked.
"Yeah, we too are excited, right guys?" he asked, looking at them.
"Yes, very excited," Mr. Jimin said, smiling.
"What about you, Mr. Jung-kook?" I asked, looking at him.
"Happy… excited," he answered, looking nervous.
"I actually met Mr. Jungkook, Mr. Hoseok, and Mr. Jimin at the cafe the other day," I said, trying to make a conversation.
"Yes, yes, we were very shocked and surprised. It was unexpected," Mr. Jimin said.
"I was also surprised. I didn't expect to bump into you guys anytime soon," I said, laughing.
"I like your hairstyle, Mr. Yoongi," I said.
"Thank you. It was really hard to get it right," he said.
"You can just call us by our names, no title, please. Makes me feel old," Mr. Namjoon said.
"Oh, okay… I am actually younger than you guys, so I have to address you appropriately," I said.
"How old are you?" Hoseok asked.
"They say a woman doesn't reveal her age, but who cares? I am proudly 25 years old," I said.
"Woah, you are the same age as Jung-kook," J-Hope added.
"Yes."
Anurak talked around with Namjoon, Suga, Taehyung, and Jin while I conversed with J-Hope, Jimin, and Jung-kook.
NB: The English barrier was there, but they could understand each other and helped each other to understand each other. I hope you understand.
The oldies then came back from wherever they were, and we then went to have dinner together. We had steak, kimchi, jajangmyeon, and a lot of meat and other sweet dishes. Point to note too was that there were a lot of Household staffs ,talk about crazy rich asians .
