LILLY: Ma, I'm here.
MUM: Hello babe! How was the flight?
LILLY: It was really good. How's Dad?
MUM: Give him time, he'll get used to it. This is your dream!
LILLY: I know! I'm so excited!
MUM: Now you enjoy your first week there. You start working for the rest of your life after that!
LILLY: I've been working ever since that restaurant was opened...
MUM: You know what I mean. What has Park Jimin said? Is he picking you up?
LILLY: Ma... that's complicated... he doesn't know I'm here.
MUM: Makeup with him already! He is a very attractive man!
LILLY: Ma...
MUM: Ok... How are you getting to the hotel then?
LILLY: Did you forget there are taxis in Korea too?
MUM: Wow, I won't miss that attitude. Call me later, okay?
LILLY: Okie dokie.

I'm here. I am finally here. I have secured a job with a big entertainment company. I will be a music producer, which is my dream.
I looked into all the entertainment companies, and I'd have preferred it if YG contacted me because they're my preferred style of music, but it's a good start anyway.
The company that contacted me is called Bighit Entertainment. I'm not sure how they got my contact details or how they saw my performance – I've asked, and they said that their informant will let me know when they're ready – but Bighit rings a bell somewhere in my brain. Is it one of the companies Kirra mentioned to me? I can't remember, but I haven't had time to ask anyone. My graduation ceremony was last week. It has been almost 2 weeks since I got my diploma. I packed my bags, organized my belongings, met the representative and booked flights all in that time.
Bighit accepted me and organized everything before 12 pm the next day. They are a fast-paced business, and probably a fast-paced environment, but I'm ready for it.
You don't work at a restaurant all your life without getting used to fast-paced work environments.
We exchanged emails, but I replied so early in the morning, I wasn't sure if they would reply.
Good morning,
I would love to work for you. I'll send through other work I did whilst studying for my diploma, my resume, and any other paperwork you need. Let me know when the representative will be heading to Australia and I will meet with them.
Kind regards,
Min Lilly.
But they responded very quickly. They sent me the representative's number – as they were already in Australia – and I met with them. We organised a day for a proper audition and then organised a day to read and sign the contract for the company. I'm not a trainee, but I am a staff member. I will meet and work alongside their top artists on my first day, which is next week.
It has been a very hectic beginning to my career, but I have never been this excited about anything in my life.
