Aftermath (our tragic story)

8. Convince me

"How's your day?" Tim asked me when I already entered my place, our place.

"It's tiring. What time did you arrive?" I asked and put my bag on the sofa and lay down because I am really tired.

"I arrived... I think around 5. Here's some food I ordered let's eat together." Tim unpacked the food that he ordered and put it on the coffee table. We eat together and when we are done I already feel the tiredness.

"By the way, what do you want to talk about?" I asked Tim and sat properly to listen to him.

"Ah... My company saw the cover that I posted and... they want you..." Tim can't speak straight because he thinks I will get mad.

"They want me to?" 

"They want to take you and train you to be their talent." After he finally says what he wants to say he is finally relieved. "But it's okay if you don't want."

"No, it's okay. I will think about it." I stood up and hugged Tim. "I will go to shower and sleep early. I don't have classes tomorrow so we can film a vlog." I smiled and entered my room.

Honestly, I am shocked when Tim said that his company wants me to be their talent. I already messaged Rays and my family about it. Rays said to follow what my heart wants, my parents said, it's okay but don't forget to study and my brother said, grab it and he can be my manager if happen.

"You're early, I thought you don't have classes?" Tim asked when I step out of my bedroom.

"I slept early and I am planning to have a run. Do you want to come?" I asked Tim and he didn't even think about it and went to his room and change his clothes.

"Why your company wants me?" I asked while we are running around the parking lot outside of the building.

"They saw the video that I posted. And they are amazed and how gifted you are." He simply answered. "They already emailed you an invitation to come to the company." I stopped running and started walking. I checked my phone and look for the email they sent me.

Golden Screen Entertainment:

Hello.

This is Golden Screen Entertainment.

As Timothy Park's Management Company, we already saw the uploaded video of MAKE IT WITH YOU Cover with our artist. 

We are inviting you to come to our company to have an interview. We are also glad to have you as one of our talents. 

We already set you an appointment and you can come anytime you want. Just look for Cristina Carlos.

We are very excited to share your talent with us. Thank you and have a great day!

As I read the email, I am already planning to go there not telling Timothy about it. After the run we had, we had a little breakfast to boost our day. Tim also getting ready to go to work because he has a lot of things to do. 

"I'm going now," Tim said while I'm in the shower.

"Okay, take care, please. I'll see you later," I replied. 

[Are you sure you will go to his company?] Rays said.

"Yeah. Maybe this one is really for me." I replied. Maybe this is the way or a gate to access the dream profession I want.

[Did you already tell this to your parents?]

"I already did. It's okay now." I smiled. We still talked about everything while I am driving. Until I arrived at the company and hung up the call.

"I'm here for an appointment. I'm LA Lim and I'm also here for Ms. Cristina Carlos." The receptionist called someone on the landline and told us to wait for 5 minutes. A woman appeared at the reception table and when our eyes met, she approached me.

"Hi, I'm Cristina Carlos and you must be LA, the special someone of Tim." I nodded. She escorted me to the elevator up to their office to show the staff that I came. "Ah... This is Mr. Nicolai Garcia, the Chairman, CEO, and the Producer of Timothy."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Nicolai." I shake his hands and smiled at him.

"Come on, call me PD-nim. You are tall, gorgeous, and young. Have a seat." I sat down and talked to him. I am nervous and I can feel my palm getting wet. "We will train you for 1 month and don't worry your debut is sure and secured." I agreed and when we are already done talking Ms. Cristina walked me to the artist lounge where the artist studio is also there.

"Here is the contract. You don't have to sign it right now. We are giving you 3 days to think about it. No pressure. If ever you will sign it, I will be your manager." She said and I smiled. "Can I tour you around?"

"Yes please." 

"So, this is the artist lounge and there are the artist individual studios. All of that is Tim's best friends, and is you can see that 'Gold Film' sign, that's Timothy's studio." She toured me around the building and also let me meet the staff.

When we go back to the artist lounge, I heard a loud noise coming from a group of men, and I also heard Tim's voice. I also leave my bag there and I don't think Tim will see it.

"Boys, your voices are too loud. I want you to meet someone." Ms. Cristina pulled my wrist and show me to the boys.

I saw how the boys changed their facial expressions and turn their eyes to Timothy who is stunned at his position because of shock.

"I know you guys will probably know who she is. Convince her to sign." Ms. Cristina jokingly said that to them.

I let them get along with me and I saw how happy they are especially Timothy. They ordered a bunch of food and ate. We also watched some movies. Timothy doesn't want to leave beside me.

"What's with the surprise?" Timothy asked while we are inside his studio.

"I am not going today but I got bored so I went here." 

"Are you sure you want to sign the contract? I mean it's okay but you will be the first female soloist here."

"I'm sure but I will not sign right now. I'll sign this on the last day. I will talk to the school because they allowed a skeletal schedule for academics but it's more expensive than a normal student." I am planning to change my schedule because I will undergo training.

"Whatever your decision is... I will support you. And I am glad that I will watch you light up your spotlight. I love you."
