Busy life

The next few days passed like a fast-forwarded movie—blurry, hectic, breathless. Morning alarms turned into battles. Nights melted into deadlines.
Sana’s life had completely transformed.

Few Days Later…

The grand glass building of one of India’s most reputed fashion institutes stood tall, reflecting the harsh morning sun. Inside, everything moved at lightning speed—models rushing, designers shouting instructions, assistants carrying fabrics, makeup artists blending palettes like magicians. And in the middle of all this chaos…Sana.....Hair tied in a messy bun, dark circles under her eyes, file clutched in one hand, makeup kit in another. Her once calm, soft life had turned into a whirlwind.

Senior Designer (strict tone):Sana! Where is the fabric swatch I asked for?? And the model’s lookboard?? We have a trial in 10 minutes!

Sana (slightly out of breath):Ma’am… bas abhi la rhi hoon…

She rushed from one corner to another.
Her heels clicking rapidly against the floor.
Her heart racing faster than her steps.

Montage of her Internship Life

— Early mornings rushing without breakfast
— Late nights working on designs
— Fixing last-minute wardrobe disasters
— Doing makeup corrections under pressure
— Getting scolded for tiny mistakes
— Appreciated occasionally… but rarely

And yet…She never gave up. Because this wasn’t just a job.....It was her dream.

Meanwhile…

On the other side of the world… BTS were equally occupied. Practice rooms echoed with music....Sweat.....Energy....Perfection.
Jungkook perfecting choreography again and again…J-Hope guiding steps… RM reviewing scripts and interviews… Jimin adjusting vocals…Taehyung experimenting with expressions…Jin managing shoots with calm elegance…And Suga…Quietly producing… observing… creating magic behind the scenes.
Their schedule?
Rehearsals. Shoots. Interviews. Promotions. Concerts. Soundchecks. Run BTS episodes.
No rest.....No pause....And somewhere in between all this…

There was Y/N.....Books, Notes, Highlighters,Coffee mugs,Late nights....
She was preparing for her Master’s final semester exams. And just when that wasn’t enough—UGC NET forms were out....
And the exam dates??
Right after her semester exams....No break....No breathing space....
Her days looked like:
— Studying concepts
— Solving PYQs
— Revising endlessly
— Watching lectures
— Making notes
— Fighting sleep

Because of all this chaos…They drifted....
Not emotionally…But time-wise....
Calls reduced.....Messages delayed....
Gossip sessions?
From hours…To barely 10–15 minutes....
Sometimes just:
Khaya?”
“Haan…”
“Tu?”
“Haan…”
“Chal baad mei baat krte hai…”

Days passed like this.....Quietly...Rapidly....
Emotionally exhausting....

Now…
Sana’s internship was nearing its end.
And instead of relief…She felt fear....
Uncertainty.....Pressure....

Saturday Night – 10 PM

The clock ticked slowly....Sana entered her room, almost collapsing on the bed....
Her body ached....Her mind felt numb....
She hadn’t even changed her clothes....
Her phone buzzed....Screen lit up....
Y/N calling…A small smile appeared...... Sana immediately picked up....
Sana... tired and exhausted...Y/n appeared on screen, equally drained but smiling warmly.

Y/n-: hii bestie....kaise hai...

Sana let out a weak laugh.

Sana-: tired and exhausted...

Y/n leaned closer, teasing.

Y/n-: kyu aisa kaun sa pahad tod kr aayi ho

Sana dramatically rolled her eyes.

Sana-: paid internship krrhi hoo yaar.... Ittu sa pay krte hai aur kaam uska 100× krwate hai....

Y/n laughed softly.

Y/n-: tumhari studies complete hogyi??

Sana stretched her arms tiredly.

Sana-: haa behan... 6 mahine pehle hi complete hogyi thi.... Tb se paid internship krrhi hoo.... Ab toh voh bhi khtm hone wala hai....

Y/n smiled proudly.

Y/n-: ohh wow.... Great...

Sana instantly frowned.

Sana-: kya wow.... Preshan hogyi ho yaar...

Y/n’s expression softened.

Y/n-: kyu kya hua??

Sana sighed deeply.... Her eyes reflected stress....

Sana-: kuchh nhi.... Job dhundh rhi hoo... Pr kuch companies ko 10 saal ka experience chahiye kuch ko 5 saal ka... Jinko experience nhi chahiye voh aise qualities likhe hai jo normal human being mei milna mushkil hai.... Voh qualities robots mei hi hoskte hai.... Aur idhr mere ghr wale pta nhi kaun se high expectations lga kr baithe hai mujhse.... Ab mujhe smjh nhi aarha hai mai kya kru....

Her voice slightly trembled.

Y/n immediately responded gently.

Y/n-: relax.... Sb acha hoga...

Sana gave a small nod.

Sana-: I hope so....

Y/n then leaned forward, curious.

Y/n-: acha yeh bta.... Tujhe kis type ka job chahiye....??

And suddenly…Something changed....
Sana’s eyes lit up....Her tiredness faded for a moment....Dreams took over....

Sana-: (eyes shined) basically I have done my studies and course related to fashion industry.... Like fashion designing, make up artist etc.... Toh job bhi mujhe yhi krna hai.... And you know I'm crazy music lover.... Toh agr kisi musicians ya musical band ka hi mujhe makeup artist ya fashion designer bnjau toh mzaa aajayega.... Thats my dream job.... To work under musicians....

Y/n smiled knowingly.

Y/n-: great...toh isme problem kya hai apply krle....

Sana blinked..... Reality hit again.

Sana-: haa pr kaha??

Y/n’s expression suddenly turned serious.
Almost mysterious.

Y/n-: bts ke under....

Sana froze.....Literally froze....Eyes wide....
Breath stuck.....

Sana-: (shocked) wait... What.....?? Are you kidding me....?? Mai bts ke under apply kru??

Y/n shook her head confidently.

Y/n-: no I'm serious babe.... Bts apne liye fashion designer and makeup artist ke liye hiring krrhe hai.... Toh tu apply krde... And jaisa tune mujhe abhi btaya uss hisaab se toh tu bilkul perfect hai iss job keliye....

Silence.....Pure silence....Sana’s brain was processing......Her heart?
Racing uncontrollably....Sana… speechless..

Y/n chuckled.

Y/n-: you don't believe me.... Wait...

She quickly sent something.....Notification popped on Sana’s phone....Her fingers trembled slightly as she opened it....An official hiring notice....Link attached....
Her eyes widened again....

Y/n-: see.... Now apply....

Sana swallowed.....Nervous....Excited..... Scared....

Sana-: voh sb toh theek hai.... But do you think mai iss job ke layak hoo??

Y/n didn’t hesitate even for a second.

Y/n-: ofcourse babe.... Bilkul layak ho...

Sana hesitated again....
Self-doubt creeping in...

Sana-: nhi mtlb.... Iss job keliye toh kitne sara all over the world.... Top artist will be applying.... So do you think they'll select me.... ??

Y/n’s voice softened...But remained firm..

Y/n-: listen... Tu apna apply krde.... Aur kya pta tera luck tera sath dede aur tu select hojaye.... Aur incase nhi ho payi fir bhi guilt nhi rhega na ki tune apply hi nhi kiya....

Sana stared at the screen....Thinking..
Processing.....Then slowly nodded....

Sana-: hmm.... Right....

Y/n smiled.

Y/n-: toh fir aaj hi apply krdena....

Sana took a deep breath.....Determination building....

Sana-: haa abhi hi krdungi....

Y/n-: haa krde....

Sana adjusted her sitting position.
Opened the link....Form appeared.
Her heartbeat increased....
Name, Qualification, Experience, Portfolio,
Certificates......She carefully filled everything....Double checked each field....
Uploaded her CV.....Attached her achievements.....Selected her best work....
Paused....Looked at the “Submit” button....
Her fingers hovered....

Sana (whispering)-: this is my chance....

Click.....Form submitted....

Sana exhaled deeply.

Sana-: ok done.... Applied....

Y/n clapped softly.

Y/n-: perfect....

Sana folded her hands instinctively.

Sana-: bs bhgwaan ji mai select hojau...

Y/n mirrored her gesture.

Y/n-: hojaogi... Don't worry.... Just hope for the blessed....

Sana-:🤞

Y/n-:🤞

Suddenly—

From outside—“Sanaaa! Dinner!”
At the same time—Y/N’s mom also called.
Both paused.....Then burst into laughter....

Sana-: chlo chlte hai... Dono ki mummy hmei dinner keliye bula rhi hai...

Y/n giggled.

Y/n-: haa... Aur jo result aayega.... Mujhe sbse pehle btana....

Sana smiled warmly.

Sana-: obviously.... tumko nhi btaungi toh aur kisko btaungi.... Chlo bye....

Y/n waved.

Y/n-: bye.... Good night....

Call ended....

Sana placed her phone beside her.
Looked at the ceiling....Heart still racing....
Mind filled with possibilities.....
Fear....Hope..Dream...Everything at once....
She turned sideways....Her gaze fell on her BTS poster.....Her eyes stopped at Suga....
A soft smile appeared....

Sana (whispering): kash sach mei mai select hojau.... Fir mai aapse sch mei mil paungi....

Her fingers tightened slightly on the bedsheet.

Sana-: Please… ek chance…

Outside…The night was calm....
But inside her heart—
A storm of dreams had just begun....
