'You're beautiful!' 'Amazing!' 'Woah, gorgeous'

Yes, I soon became the village role model. Even my mother and sister, can you believe it? They don't remember me but now they're calling me their idol! Many told me to audition to be a Korean pop idol trainee, but what if I'm not good enough. I may be of the perfect standard for beauty, but I surely don't have any talent. I wanted to be a movie star or a Hollywood actress in my past life, after auditioning twice I was declined because I had no talent. Maybe the reason I was revived was because I should restart my life and not waste it on being a useless Emma Watson wannabe. Or maybe, I should continue to chase my dreams. So sceptical of life, why was I even reborn? There's no point, God knows I'm only alive to hurt people, waste my opportunities and die again - it's a cycle.

Okay...I lied, I do want to be a Kpop trainee. I'm at the HYBE Ent. building now!! I'm auditioning with the song 'Celebrity' by IU. It turns out the town council rounded up mentors to help me sing, I better not fail or else I'll hurt their feelings and all their hard work for trying. I'm number 118, so that means I'm next. I stepped into the huge room boarded up with mirrors in every direction, I could see from my peripheral vision that I was gorgeous already. I shot an elegant smile as the judges began to speak, 'Introduce yourself' the female representative spoke sharply. 'I am Park Eun-Ji, 16 years of age, from Bukchon Hanok Village Seoul. I am confident that I will change the kpop industry! I will work hard and am looking forward to cooperating with you.'

I started the song shakily but gradually became more confident and my voice grew louder and stronger. At the end, the entire room applauded and one of the members of the judging team came up to speak to me. 'Eun-Ji Park! You're amazing, definitely one of our top choices. Are you interested in starting training next month?' Next month?!! I thought in my head, Amazing! Inside, I was doing my happy dance but on the outside I maintained a professional gaze and nodded sincerely, 'I would love to.'
