If Only

Transfer - Newbie

(In Korean)
"My apologies, Miss Kim, but you are not accepted to join the next group to debut under us. If you wish to transfer companies, notify us, we will cancel your contract with us."

"Understood, thank you for considering."

JiaEn exited the room and went back to the dorm. She took out her luggage and started to pack her belongings. She was leaving this company, just because she was rejected once doesn't mean she was going to turn her back for the rest of her life.
 Every time she wanted to give up, her first thought was always her mother back in China. Her one and only mother who raised her single-handed, after her father decided to leave for another woman. JiaEn always cried when she felt like she wanted to go home to her mother. Sometimes she just wanted to drop everything and snuggle back into her mothers lovely hands, the warmth was everything she wanted ever since she left for Korea.
The room that JiaEn shared with the other trainees swung open when JiaEn was almost done with her packing.

(In English)
"JiUn? What are you doing? Where are you going?" Clarita panicked at the sight before her.

"I'm leaving this company, Clare." JiaEn tugged her bras on the top of all her clothing before zipping the luggage tight. "I'll see you around once we debut, separately."

JiaEn pushed her bags a side. She patted Clarita's arm before leaving the room. Once she was out, she took her phone out and ringed her trainee manager's phone number. She waited for a few rings before speaking.

(In Korean)
"Manager Park, this is Kim JiUn speaking. Please get my contract ready to be canceled, I'll be there in a minute." 

JiaEn pushed her phone back into her pocket as she hurried out of the dorm building. 

-----------------------

JiaEn stood outside the building of another entertainment. Her luggage in her hand and her backpack sitting on her shoulders. 

(In Chinese)
"Pledis entertainment." She mumbled to herself. "The entertainment that has problems with girl groups."
She sighed to herself.
"Well, it won't hurt to try, would it?"

She entered the building and greeted the staff. 

(In Korean)
"Hello, I'm Kim JiUn. May I ask where is the dorm for girls?"

"Oh, Kim JiUn. I'll guide you to your dorm room please follow me, I would also give you a tour around the building."

"Alright."

The male staff walked around the reception area and glanced at his colleague. Both of them exchanged knowing glances before JiaEn's guide signaled her to follow him.

"This dorm does not separate boys and girls. Separate room, of course yes. Our artist stays just a floor above the trainee dorm floor."

"The artist do not have their own place to stay ?"

"We do not allow that, it is the only way we can protect our artist's daily privacy. Or privacy, in general."

"Ok."

"Here is your room." The young male gestured JiaEn to enter.
 She popped her head into the room before stepping in. 

The room amazed her. The decorations were beautiful and JiaEn was speechless. It was simple, yet elegant.
