Project 1: A Road to Forever

YG Entertainment

JENNIE

It's officially her first day at YG. After she had received her letter, Jennie and her mom went to the company to settle the matters and sign the contract - the girl would be staying in their dorms and the routine would be difficult:

Her day would start off at 11:00AM, but she'd have to wake up either 9:00AM or 10:00AM to get ready for the classes. But, the classes would go all the way through 2:00AM and even during the weekends. She'd have only one day off, on a Sunday, after a fortnight of practice. They'd offer subjects such as Japanese, Chinese and English lessons (all a must); different genres of dancing such as Hip-Hop, Krumping, Popping etc.; singing and the common school lessons.

It would be very hard to stay away from your mom in a place where you don't know anyone and still follow the routine perfectly enough not to be sent home. Jennie knew that, of course. But she still decided to follow her dreams and face the difficulties.

AT THE YG FRONT DESK

Mama Kim was taking some time talking to the receptionist, the lady was explaining to her the way to the dorms and some rules. Later, she gave her mom the key to her room, and Jennie couldn't be more excited.

The older Kim led the way to the accommodations and helped her daughter to settle her things. It wasn't much, though, she'd be sharing her dorm with 2 more people, so it was just the basic.

The place wasn't so big either. There were two rooms with two single beds each, a kitchen, one bathroom and a mini dining room. The structure wasn't that good as well and there were some cracks in the wall. But it was very clean, at least.

After Jennie's mom saw the place her daughter would be staying, she wasn't so sure of letting her stay there anymore...

- Jennie, darling, are you sure you wanna stay here? - she older lady asked.

- Yes, mom. I'm very sure - she wasn't.

- Jennie, I don't think this is a good place to stay - refuted her mother.

- But mom, I have to go through this. The best things in life don't come easy, but those things are the ones worth the sacrifice, you know? - the girl remembered her grandma's old saying.

Mama Kim stood there thinking and looking at her daughter. "Maybe she's right. It wouldn't be so bad though, she's still in Korea. I could come visit her if anything happens...".

- Hmm... Fine. You win. But you'll have to keep me updated when you can and call me if ANYTHING happens AT ALL. Okay? - her mother said.

- YES! - replied a jumping Jennie.

FIRST DAY OF CLASS

It was Monday morning, 9:00AM and Jennie's alarm clock was already beeping. She couldn't sleep much, again, her anxiety took control of her. However, she didn't feel tired at all, instead, she couldn't feel more excited to start off, to learn and to be the best YG could have.

The little Kim got up and went straight to the bathroom. Firstly, she took her phone and put some k-pop music to get more inspired, it was still morning and she still hadn't slept much after all. Then, she decided her outfit while brushing her teeth, going straight to the shower right after. It was 9:40AM when she went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

In leggings, a pair of white Adidas shoes, a tank top and her scrunchie on her wrist, the girl ate some scrambled eggs and kimchi with rice while watching her favorite singer, Lee Hyori, on a korean variety show.

At exactly 10:30AM, Jennie was at the front desk of YG Entertainment again, asking for some more information about the classes and which room she was in. Right after, the girl was already in her classroom, waiting for the teacher and observing the other people there, studying the new place and the new faces.
