Okay, Before I start the story.... lemme just clarify just one tiny detail....
Lee Chaerin is NOT again, I repeat, NOT CL from 2ne1. It just happened that my korean name is Chae rin, and lee is what I've chosen as my surname because of a long story about an ex.. yada yada yada.. The truth is, I'm a big fan of Big Bang and Ms. Sandara-ssi from 2ne1. I'm filipina and since before I've always liked her. I just recently knew that Ms. CL from 2ne1 has the same name with my main protagonist... ughhh... (yes, I live under a rock. Thank you.) BUT, the thing is, I have no intention of changing the main protagonist's name because.......... That's also my name. sooooo, just get used to it.. PLEASE?
--------------------------------------------------soooo, on to the story...---------------------------------------------------------------------
“Anneonghaseyo! Nae irumun Lee Chaerin imnida. ( Good day! My name is Lee Chaerin) I’m 15. I’m a student from Incheon and I would like to have the chance to be a trainee here in YG Entertainment”
I was so nervous when I applied for internship at one of the biggest entertainment agency in South Korea. When I heard about their walk-in auditions here in Seoul, I automatically set that as my goal in life. I’m good at singing, I’m good at dancing, and I think I’m qualified as one of their trainees.
That day, I slipped out of the house at dawn, careful not to make a noise because Teddy, our fluffy Samoyed puppy will surely wake up the house.
My parents and my brother Junki live in a medium sized house, with a large backyard. My father is a professor in the University of Incheon teaching English for international students. My mom is a simple cook and she manages a small family ramen restaurant a few blocks away from dad’s university. My brother Junki is 13, and in his 7th grade. He’s young, but he’s very smart. He’s top of his class and we’re very close. He even knows that I’ll be going to Seoul for the auditions.
Okay, back to slipping out of the house…
I’m wearing my uniform just in case my mom or dad caught me. My clothes for the audition were neatly folded inside my backpack. After a safe distance out of the house, I boarded the bus for the train. On the station, I bought the commuter ticket at the counter for 3’800 won ($2.63) and boarded the first train to seoul.
Ugh. 1 hour and 30 minutes of doing nothing. Yippie. *note the sarcasm.*
I went to the washroom to change out of my uniform. Once inside the washroom, I opened my bag and changed out of my uniform to a simple white v-necked shirt and black pants. I slipped on my favorite white sneakers, and got the green dinosaur jacket Junki gave me. It was my lucky jacket so I decided to wear it for the auditions.
After that, I got out of the washroom and got a good look at the people riding the train carriage with me. Off to my far right was a student couple, holding hands with closed eyes. How cute. I looked to my left and I saw businessmen in black suits, three have their noses in front of newspapers, some were just sleeping, some were staring into space. Lol. There were women in classy black and white ensembles that screamed “professional” and I looked at their shoes…. I must say that I don’t know how they walk around with those killer heels. I can’t imagine my feet inside those ankle spraining instruments, but I guess wearing them everyday, you get used to them eventually.
Mentally sighing, I slipped into the nearest empty seat and closed my eyes. Eh, might as well catch up on my sleep.
I woke up to the train’s speakers saying that we were arriving Seoul station. I gathered my bag and as soon as the doors opened, I slip out. Yawning, I searched for the exit and walked out. Might as well hail a cab so as not to get lost. I hailed the cab, and gave the driver the address for YG Entertainment.
My palms were sweating and my eyes marveled at the buildings we passed. I’ve been to Seoul many times before, but this was the first time I’m exploring the city on my own. By instinct, I memorized the buildings and street signs that we passed. There were women in fashionable dresses and coats walking in high heels with branded coffees on their hands. Men were even more classy with their different shades of black suits and shiny shoes walking around with their briefcases. Buildings were all around, ranging from sky scrapers to two story brick buildings. There were buildings that were shiny, reflecting the sunlight from the rising sun. There were buildings that are works of art themselves, they were either shaped oddly, slanting in places or too abstract to describe.
After about 15 minutes, the cab stopped in front of a uniquely shaped building that I presume to be the YG Entertainment office. (let’s just pretend that the new YG building is the building mentioned here in the story.) I paid the cabbie, and thanked the driver. I turned around, and faced the big building..
Now standing alone in front the YG building, palms sweaty, hyperventilating, lip biting, I gathered up my courage and took the first step.
7:35. hmmmm.
Auditions open at 9:00 am
There were just a number of people in front of the building. I saw a girl about 17, dressed fashionably, being fussed by I guess her family members.
Aaaahhh, I’m getting butterflies in my stomach!!! >.<
I’m soooo nervous!
(lemme introduce you to my split personality, BTW, she talks in ALL CAPS… I know she’s pretty LOUD.)
-can I back out now?
NO DUMBASS.
-Please? With a cherry on top?
PABO. (stupid)…. COWARD.
-Ugh, stop it. It’s not like you can take over my body and do the audition. O—o You’re just a…..
YEAH, YEAH, A PERSONIFICATION OF YOUR OWN MIND. Yeah.
-You don’t even exist.
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. JUST GET ON WITH IT. WE DIDN’T GO TO SEOUL AND WASTE MONEY JUST FOR YOU TO GO BACK AND REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
-You’re right.
I ALWAYS AM.
-Yah, and I’m also you.
I KNOW… EIHOO…..(sigh)
I closed my eyes, and wlaked inside the building, praying for the best….
Until I smacked straight to a brick wall….
A warm brick wall…
WARM brick wall..
O___________o
What the heck?
