• • •(/The video opens in what seems to be the roof of an old apartment building, zooming in on a squinting Taehyun, hunched over his acoustic guitar, head at a slight tilt) Are you sure it’s on? I don’t think it’s- (/A voice out of view reassures him-for the fourth time-that the camera is indeed on and they’ve been filming for the past ten minutes) Ah, ah, ah. Hello. Wait, no- Hey everyone- Nah, lame- Yo- (/He sighs in frustration, giving his head a shake) Alright, listen. I’m Taehyun. I’m 24. I’m from Seoul. I sing, I play guitar, and- (/*Hic–) And I- (/*Hiccup!) I- (/Unable to keep his cool, he bursts into a fit of nervous hiccups) Cut it- (/*Hic–) Off! (/Taehyun spills out of his seat, still clutching his guitar, hand reaching towards the lens before the screen finally cuts to black)

▸ ▸ ▸ WHY AM I HERE.

• • •(/“Taehyun’s Audition Tape - Take 32” the same voice from an earlier take grumbles before phantom hands appear wave by the lens as a makeshift clapper) My ambitions… (/Taehyun strums idly at his guitar, sucking his teeth in annoyance) What kind of question is that even? I don’t know… (/Taehyun’s focus shifts to the person behind the camera) Is it in bad taste to say money? (/There’s a moment of silence before Taehyun snorts and turns his attention to the lens) Cash. Loads of it. So much that I never have to work again and can just play my guitar. In Spain. On a boat. A big one. All day long… (/He trails off, continuing his freestyle riff before his mis-strums and his pic goes flying towards the camera, missing it by just a few inches and instead richochets off his camera guy) Oh- My bad… Uh- Let’s just finish up now, ye- (/*Hiccup!)
