Please Don't Get Too Friendly
I passed???
Ring~~~Ring~~~
"Hello?", I answered sleepily.
Why is someone calling me so early in the morning? It's only 7:30.
"Yes, am I speaking to Ms. Amy Lee?" asked the caller.
"Uh, yes," I said, sitting up. This feels like an important call. What is this? "What can I do for you?"
"This is S.M. Entertainment. I am calling you to tell you that you were casted and in the possibility of becoming a trainee for us. Your audition was very good and we would like to hear more about you, can I ask you some questions?"
What the heck. I couldn't realise what was happening. I mean, I was still asleep five minutes before and then someone called and dropped that bomb on me. My brain had much difficulty proceeding all this information. I finally responded.
"Uh, yes of course. But I'm still a bit sleepy, I'm sorry."
"Oh, forgive me for waking you up. Shall we move on to the questions?"
That person was definitely telling me to hurry up because they had other things to do. But, you know, same here. I wanted to hurry and go back to sleep.
"First question: Do you have any sleeping habits that could affect someone in the same room as you?"
"Uh... I don't know. I'm sleeping while I sleep so... I wouldn't know."
The caller stayed silent a moment, then sighed quietly. I'm sorry, I'm really tired. Please don't judge me."Did you ever sleep in the same room as someone else, for example? Didn't they tell you anything?"
"Oh, uhm no. I was never told something like that," I said, feeling judged and kind of stupid.
The interview went on like that for about five minutes, where I was asked questions like "Do you put on a lot of makeup sometimes?" or "Do you have weird habits?". Then, at the end, the interviewer told me I had done good and they would call me later to see if I was officially a trainee... or not.
"Actually, Ms. Lee, I have another question. This one is the most important. Would you accept to move to South Korea to train, debut and have a career?"
I was stunned. Move over to a country where I don't know anyone? That seemed crazy... and I loved it.
"Sure, that would be an awesome opportunity!"
"Do you know the Korean language?" the person asked doubtfully.
"Well, I do, since I'm actually Korean. I was taught when I was I didn't forget it."
With that, the caller thanked me and wished me a good day. I hung up and went straight back to sleep.
~~~~Five hours later~~~~
I was finishing up my lunch when my phone rang again.
"Yes, hello?"
"This is S.M. Entertainment again, we talked earlier. I called to announce you that you are officially a trainee for our company. You will be asked to move to South Korea to begin your singing, dancing and acting training, as well as meet other trainees that might become your group members. If you do not have enough money to move, the company will assist you financially, with no need of being paid back. You will also live in a dorm belonging to the company. Although your training period is undetermined, the chances of you debuting in less than a year is highly probable. Please get to Korea as soon as you can to prepare well. Any objections?"
"Uh... I guess not?" I answered, completely stunned.
"Good. We'll see you soon. The company will send someone to give you more detailed information and, if you need it, money to move. Do you need it?"
"...No, thank you very much, though. I'll take care of it."
Of course I didn't need the money. When my parents died, my inheritance made me almost a millionaire.
"Thank you very much, goodbye."
I hung up once again and stood blank as I made up my mind.
