It all starts with a dream so never stop dreaming!!

It all starts with a dream

That day I shifted all my stuff from my house to my dorm with Jem unnie . She's a really nice person at heart but at first it's always difficult to adjust . She would often keep reading books untill late and I sometimes was fed up at her . I would sometimes start playing the piano and irritate her and she was like" Hey baby pink! ( My group calls me sweetly). Do you want me to take the hell pink out of you! ". She would say angrily. Training was tougher than usual . Get up at 7:00 am go for walk , do yoga, come home by 8:10, put on masks and and makeups and leave . Personally speaking I did not have any breakfast at all . I was 43 kg  right now but my unnies were all 45 ,46 kg and I had lost a damn lot of weight during those six months of training . There was little more pressure of loosing  weight because we guys were just 


154 cm  and the tallest one among us was 156 cm tall only and we had to look good no matter what. Yaah! Training yes! Go to the studio dance and dance for about continously 5 hours at a stretch , flexibility tests and dance styles to be learnt , language classes for all different kind of languages , No lunch aishhh!  Vocals training for about 5 hours then recordings untill late then group dancing skills training and singing stuff. We were given assignments almost everyday,  even if we came to the dorm at about 3:00 in the morning we had to complete the assignment . We had weekly solo and group photoshoots and training how to look the best in any photograph . We had etiquette and cuteness classes . We would now get acting class as well . I had mastered speaking inJapanese, Thai, Korean and I could speak Chinese only just basics you know . I had only like about 85 to 150 calories a day and yet I would restrict myself from eating just to look the best in the photoshoots.


I and my group were bonding really well  by now and we and done few dance choreographies  . In the assignment we would get to prepare dance steps on the songs we were assigned within a day or two with our partners that changed almost every week  for cooperation practise and we were on a strict diet it was like I did not eat anything simply for 2 ,3 days and I would just live on protein shakes and some zero calories stuff. We would sleep for like only 12 hours in a week and yet we had to put on makeup to hide our deep dark circles . Training part was really crucial for not only me but the whole band . I was the closest with sugar unnie because her comforting smile would always cheer and pull my spirits high again when I would just fell like quitting on my Dream. I would often try to sneak out in the night without anyone knowing to have fast food which I liked . Me , my band members and CodeZ members all loved bibimbap a lot we would sometimes have bibimbap together on our cheat days . CodeZ's debut was going to happen soon and kyungsoo oppa was way to busy with his training . And yeah ! It was tough but struggles make you stronger right? so yeah I was near my dream and no wonder I would soon be going under the toughest time the debut idol training and I had my second television series on the other hand .
