Debut encouragement.

ANOTHER SIDE STORY OF GYE BORA.

She’s Jimin’s friend since elementary school started, the both of them met each other when Jimin was accompanying me playing at the local park in Busan, it was unexpected, she fell from the slide and someway somehow Jimin is the one helping her getting the first aid kit across the street, I can only open my mouth in shock at that time while reminiscing how much it should’ve hurt falling from the slide. Since then their friendship blooms and I felt like I was the tree in the background, they were on the same grade back then so they meet each other often.

But, Jimin is being Jimin though, he never made me feel left out, always there for me.

“I’m going to bed” I said while taking the glass of milk and putting it in the fridge for breakfast tomorrow, yeah, another day without a proper meal, “My suggestion? Think it over, again and again, before you end up regretting it yourself” Soojin said with that knowing look on her face, I let out a small smile for her and before I even had the time to step into my room she held my arm holding me back

“Good luck for tomorrow uri Haeun! Hwaiting!” she said while doing the gesture by raising both of her fist in the air and smiling brilliantly at me, I chuckled at that, my sour mood immediately gone with her support. I went into my room and fell asleep with the hope of only good things will happen tomorrow.

*the next day

“You’re going to be late, wake up!” somebody shook me from my dreamless sleep and I groaned loudly, seeing that I went asleep at 3 AM this morning didn’t help at all when I have to wake up at 7 and be at the company by 8—that was my plan, but I don’t think it’s going to work that way.

“It’s 07.45, are you crazy! Sajangnim will have your head!” the voice that I recognized as Soojin woke me up immediately from my morning buffering, s**t, today is another elimination day.

I jumped up from the bed and went for a 5-minute shower, obviously I skipped another breakfast that morning, well if you called drinking a leftover milk is a breakfast, now that I remember I barely eaten these days, mostly because I don’t have time.

I arrived at the practice room at exactly 8 AM and I was furiously coughing while taking a deep breath at the same time, it was one hell of a morning workout, which happens pretty often seeing I was pretty lazy moving my a*s from the bed every morning. I smiled awkwardly at the other trainees in the room who is laughing silently at me, Hyun-suk sajangnim was present in the room also, he raised his eyebrows at me and I immediately did a 90-degree bow at him “Good morning sajangnim”.

“Right on time as always Haeun, probably being a little earlier in the future will help your performance?” Hyun-suk sajangnim said while giving me a warning smile, I smiled back awkwardly and answered back “I’ll try my best sajangnim, thank you for the encouragement”.

Encouragement my a*s.

It was definitely his way of telling me to be responsible or leave the entertainment, that simple.

The elimination went on and saying I was nervous would be an understatement, the elimination takes place at the end of each month, I should’ve been more accustomed to it now seeing that I’ve been here for almost 2 years but the uneasy feeling will always be there no matter how unbothered I may seem.

“Mo Haeun—“ Hyun-suk sajangnim called me personally by himself, I raised my head in response and started standing up “You come to the office” he said with a strict business tone. I almost choke on my own spit because of my clumsiness and nervousness, Soojin did said yesterday that I will debut soon, but is it really true though? It could be just another encouragement from her so I don’t easily get stressed or depressed about how things are right now, but even so, she’s my best friend, she’s older and more responsible than me, that’s why she got her place as one of the PR in YG entertainment.

She wouldn’t lie to me, right?

I followed Hyun-suk sajangnim to his office and he gestured me to take a seat in one of the chairs available in front of his work desk. He sat at this director seat and stare straight at me, I would personally admit that his stares scare me more often than I could remember, but, I mean, he is my boss though.

“Do you know why I called you here?” He said looking at me assessing my every move, “I don’t know sir, I really don’t” I answered him and shrugged my shoulders, I mean I did have some leaks of the news from Soojin, but God knows I was a coward to tell him up in his face, I don’t have a courage that big, Jimin would’ve though, he’s always been more extrovert than I am.

Huh, why did I always have to think about him all the time?

“I’m going to cut this short, you’re going to debut—as a solo artist” my boss said and leaned his back against his chair, I looked at him dumbfounded and I was lost for a few seconds there.

Is this really coming true? Will I finally debut at the age of 17?

“Oh my god! I don’t know what to say, I’m to shocked to even say anything, thank you sir, kamsahamida” I started to ramble on about how thankful I was for this opportunity and such, suddenly Hyun-suk sajangnim raised his hand as if signaling me to stop saying anything, immediately I shut my mouth obviously afraid that he will changed his mind about me debuting because of my random ramble.

“I haven’t finished yet—you will be debuting with a mentor though” he said and I raised my eyebrow at his statement.
