Off The Record

Introduction!

"I wanna become an idol when I grow up!"

A simple sentence yet it holds the weight of the dreams and aspirations of a young girl. Through the road, echoed the girl's future. She raised her hand towards the sky of the setting sun, holding onto the orange hues as if she was making a wish.

Becoming an idol wasn't an easy task, even more so for a simple girl living in a small town but nothing was going to stop her.

Even he knew that.

"Are you still about all of the idol stuff?"

"Of course I am! I want to appear on air, sing on stage and have concerts around the world! It's my one and only dream!"

"Don't forget about me once you're famous then, alright?"

"Of course, I won't! How could I ever forget you? Here, give me your hand."

As their pinkies intertwined, a vow was set in stone.

It was small yet it was meaningful as any other act of promise. One that couldn't and wouldn't be broken by the test of time.

"I-i got into an audition! Oh my gosh, I can't believe it!"

"I can't really believe it either. You must be off to Seoul now, right?"

"I'll still stay here dummy! It's still weeks away but I have to practice more. How about after school! Do you wanna come over to help me?"

"Please, we both know that I'll only end up just watching you but fine, I'll go."

"Great, we can study for that math test afterwards!"

"So how did your audition go?"

"I managed to mess up not once, twice, not even thrice from how nervous I was. I... I don't want to talk about it."

"Chin up, will you? I'm not used to you being this down. C'mon, I heard the vending machine down the street is fixed and it has your favorite drink in it."

"I'll only go if you pay."

"Oh stop with the cheeky smile. Fine, just this once."
