Chapter 1

Deep Affection

*Lai Guanlin's POV*

7:40 AM. The time i arrived at Seoul Korea. I heard that it's very attractive here in Korea especially during autumn and spring season. Which i am lucky because the season in Korea this month is Autumn.

I took a few stroll around Seoul before i head to my destination which is Cube Entertainment. Yes, the agency where Beast sunbaenim came from. Apparently they saw the video of me and my friends singing the song "Timber". Weird. I mean who would have thought they would be interested of me because of some video my teacher sent to the company. 

Yes. My teacher was the one who sent it. He knew that i wanted to become a swaggy rapper. I didn't know that the presentation would be that serious we were literally not ready at that time haha. But umm yeah. They said that they want to meet me up so here i am in Korea ready to pursue my dream.

I arrived at the building. Luckily i didn't get lost. I went to head to the counter to ask. I honestly don't know any korean words. I only know the basics one. Like annyeonghaseyo and saranghaeyo. Which is kind of useless. So i decided to speak in English. 

"Im here to meet the director of the company. They said that they want to meet up with me.i said fluently.

"and you are?"  the female in counter asked.

"Lai Guanlin" i replied.

"Okay, please wait for a moment." she said.

 I waited for atleast like 30 mins. Before she called me again.

"Mr. Lai Guanlin, You may head to the office of the director." she said.

"What floor is it?" I asked.

"3rd floor" she replied.

"Okay thanks." i said.

I head to the elevators and press 3rd on the butttons. So far i haven't seen any artist inside the building. I wonder where they are? Are they practicing or what? What does the director look like? Hmm i have so many questions.

Without noticing i already arrived at 3rd floor. I quickly get off the elevator and head to the office. Good thing there is a big signboard which says director's office.

I knocked on the door twice. And i heard someone saying come in.

"Goodmorning! Are you the director?" i asked.

The director looks taken aback because i spoke in English instead of korean.

"Ahh, you speak korean?" the director asked.

"Um no sir." i said turning my head down. Embarassed. Aish! Lai guanlin why did you even go to Korea if you didn't even study their language! Im so stupid! 

"Yes, I am the director. And you are? Lai guanlin?" he asked unsure of his words.

"Yes sir. Umm so why did you want to meet me for?" i asked.

"I-We want to meet you because.. Of the video your teacher sent me." he said while having a hard time choosing the right words.

"Ah yes. But why though?" I asked curious.

"Although in the video it shows that you weren't taking it seriously but for us. We saw some potential on you. We know that you can do better than that." he said.

I was suprised on what he said. So does that mean i can achieve my dream? I have the potential to be a rapper?

"does that mean i can be a swaggy rapper?" i asked happily.

The director looks suprised at my sudden question.

"Wha-What? Haha I mean yes. But you know that you need to be trained first before you debut right?" He asked me.

"Ah ye-yes! So i am already accepted here?" i asked.

"Yes." he replied.

I jumped happily inside. Im so grateful haha! I kept smiling ear to ear. But then something hits me. Where will i live? Oh no.

"Oh i suppose that you just came here in korea today? Cause i can see your luggage." he said.

"Ah yes sir. I-i dont know where i'll stay for the night haha." i said scratching my head.

"What? No! You already have a dorm. Along with your fellow trainees." he said.

"Ah really?! Thank you sir." i said.

Woohoo that saved me. Good thing i already have a dorm if i dont have it i might as well sleep on the streets haha.

I thanked him and i was about to head to the door when he called me again.

"Yah Lai Guanlin before you go. I will remind you to study korean first because only few people here speak english so you'll have a hard time because of the language barriers." he reminded me.

"Ah yes sir i will." i said and opened the door to get out.

I head to a room where the director said i should go to. I spotted many trainees that are practicing and as soon i openes the door they all looked towards my direction. Awkward silence filled the room. I was about to say something when they continued practicing. I just went to the back of this room. Looking lost. I honestly dont know what to do. The director didn't say anything to me. 

But then someone came towards me which i think is the trainer of the room. "Are you the new trainee?" he asked me in english which im suprised. The director must have informed him about me. 

I just nodded in response."introduce yourself in front of them." he said.

"Yah everyone listen to him." He said which i guess in korean. 

"I-im Lai Guanlin.. Nice to meet you all i guess?" i said hoping for them to understand. Honestly they all look dumbfounded on what i said which im guessing that they didn't understand it. The trainer said something to them i guess he is translating what i said. 

Aish today will be a hard day Lai guanlin.
