“Ready for your auditions tomorrow ?” Daehyun asked.

“Yeah… But I’m nervous!”

“You already know our CEO! Just act like you’re singing for a family member. Then you’ll be alright.” He told me.

“Ah, but Daehyunnie… Can you tell your CEO that umm… Judge me like how he judges everybody else. I don’t want anyone to think that it is unfair that I already know…”

“Minhyun, Minhyun… Shh! He knows okay. In fact he already heard you singing before. He said you’re great and he’s ready to take you in. But, due to some policies, well you still have to go for auditions.” He said.

“It is fair for me to take the auditions. And, is this how you feel like before you go for an audition?” I asked.

“Nervous? Mental breakdown? Yes.” Daehyun said.

“Oh, phone is ringing!”

“Who’s that?”

“Minho oppa.” I said. “Yeobosseo?”

“Minhyun ah! Are you free now?” He asked.

“Yes, why?”

“Can you come out now? I want to have a talk with you.” He said.

“Okay. Alone?” I asked.

“Yeah, but if you want to bring Daehyun, it’s alright.”

“Okay, where do we meet?”

“At the coffee shop we always go?”

“Sure. Bye.”

“So, where are you going?” Daehyun asked.

“To meet with oppa.” I said.

“Can I go?” He asked.

“No, I want to meet him alone. Family time Daehyun.” I said.

“Fine…”

“Are you jealous over my brother?” I asked.

“No, well… A bit.”

“Fine… I’ll bring back cheesecake when I come home, okay?”

“Okay…”

I went out and waited for Minho oppa to come.

“Hey, sorry I was late. You know, fan’s problems.” He said.

“Haha… Showing off?” I teased.

“Maybe?”

“So, why did you want to meet me?” I asked.

“I was thinking about what you said, about becoming a singer… Is that true?”

“Yes…”

“And, which company have you chosen?” He asked.

“TS Entertainment.” I replied.

“Why not my company? SM Entertainment?”

“Because, your company is well, how do I put in…? Too packed with people trying to go in, and my chances of getting in is a little below 1%.” I said.

“Wha? No! Look at how I got in.” He said.

“Well oppa, you’re good looking! That’s why you got in. Besides, you were scouted by the streets; you were a model before you went for auditions. You’re perfect!” I said.

“Well, you are my sister, and you’re talented, I don’t see why they don’t want to enter our company.” Minto oppa said.

“Umm… Maybe because your company is too famous?” I said.

“Aishh… Okay okay… I know, Daehyun is there in TS and I know he will take care of you. So, when is the audition?”

“Tomorrow.” I said.

“So soon?” He asked.

“I’m well prepared, I guess.” I said.

“Does Yunho hyung and Joonie hyung knows about this?” He asked.

“No… They’re busy and I want to give them a surprise if I got in.” I said.

“I’m sure you’ll get in. I believe in my baby sister.”

“Hey! I’m not a baby anymore!” I said.

“You are forever to me.” He said.

“Nervous?”

“Yes.”

“Minhyun! Drink this!” Kris said.

“What are you guys doing here?” I was surprised that all of my friends are here to support me.

“Well, our friend is going for an audition. Of course we’re here to support her.” L said, smiling.

“Minhyun! We believe in you!” Hanjung said.

“Our next contestant, Choi Minhyun.” The announcer said.

“Well, here goes nothing.” I said and went in the audition room.

“Ah, Minhyun… You’re here.” The CEO said.

“Annyeonghasseyo.” I said, bowing.

“Well, let’s begin.” He said, and the music started.

“How was it?” Daehyun asked when I went out.

“It went well…. But….”

“But?” Hyunki asked.

“I got in!” I said.

“But of course you got in!” Baekhyun said.

“Yay! Let’s go celebrate! You’re an official trainee now!” Daehyun said.

“Let’s go!” I said, smiling.

For the next few days, I was wondering if I should call home or not… Maybe not, I don’t want to get Yunho oppa, Joon oppa or omma in trouble. But I called Jay oppa and he was happy to hear the news.

“I knew you could do it kiddo!” He said.

“Yeah, so… Want to teach me how to b-boy?” I asked.

“Don’t you have Jongup there to teach you?”

“Well, I don’t know… But I kind of miss you.” I said.

“Really?”

“Maybe?” I said.

“Maybe? Hey, sorry, can’t talk anymore kiddo, need to go film my music video now. Hey, congrats and good luck kiddo! Bye!”

“Bye oppa.”

“Want to go out?” Daehyun asked, suddenly popping out.

“Scared me a little. Where?”

“Han river! We could go practice singing there.” He said.

”Practice singing?” I looked at him blankly.

“I always go there. Come on!”

“What about your fans? Won’t they see you?”

“Don’t worry about that. Let’s go!”
