Finding Home

Jae-min

So as I said, I'm not going to have regular chapters in my book. 

Now I want to show you an interview I've made with my 'characters'. It was kinda fun to talk with them, especially because they aren't real. But I guess it helped me, and will help you guys to know who they are and wich role they are playing in my story. So enjoy :)

Interview with Jae-min.

"So Jae-min, tell me something about you. How old are you? Were are you from?"

My full name is Kim Jae-min, but all my friends are calling me just 'Jae', so please just call me like them. I am 23 years old and I was born in Seoul, South Korea. A very beautiful city and country by the way.

"Okay 'Jae'. So, you were born in South Korea right? But did you lived in Seoul or did you and your family moved to America?" 

Why does everyone thinks, that I grew up in America?

"Your english is very good."

Thank you. But no. Before I became an Idol, I've never moved out of Korea. I was born in Seoul, I grew up in Seoul, I went to school in Seoul, I've met the boys in Seoul and I became an K-pop Idol in Seoul. So as you can see, I was the whole time in Seoul until I was 18 i think. 

"You were only 18 since you left South Korea? Did you left someone behind?"

Yes I know, 18 is very young, but there are also so many who are even younger than me. Not in my group, but in others I've met. And of course. I've left my family behind like everyone. 

"With family you mean who? Do you have siblings?"

With family I mean especially my mom and two younger sisters and some family friends. 

"And your father?"

I'm not talking about him

"Got it. Then let's talk about becoming an Idol. How was it? And when do you knew, that you want to become an Idol?"

How it is to become an idol? Really? I could write a whole book about it. But I'm describing it in two words to make it short. Hard and Fun. I love music since I was... I don't know. I guess I don't even learned how to walk. I remember that my mom told me that I was just laying in bed when the music played and started dancing the whole time until I got tired. So she... I don't even know why she called me like that; but she called me 'dancing shrimp' . 

"That's really cute Jae. So you wanted to become an idol since you were a little child right?"

No. But I don't want to talk about that either. What matters is: My life changed and sometimes I'm happy about that and sometimes I'm not. But I have to except it. It is how it is. 

"That's true. I know you are very busy and our time is running out so, last question."

Go for it. 

"What is your role in this book?"

I am the main character. Sorry. I am one of the main characters. And I guess that's all I am allowed to say. 

"Thank you Jae. I will see you in a few days. I'm very excited to meet you again and especially meeting the other members too."

Thank you too. Goodbye.
