Salanghae

Part 12

  Finally, we stopped in front of my house.
I stepped towards the door and placed my hand on the handle, but then I noticed that the door was closed.
I knocked at the door couple of times.
Finally, the door opened.
"What do you want? Have you already understood how important is your education?" My mum said, a little annoyed.
"No. I came here to prove to you that I have already achieved what you wanted to." I held out the piece of paper to my mum.
She looked at the piece of paper before turning her attention back to me. "Well done. What are you planning on doing now?"
"I don't know. I thought that I could keep attending the collage classes." I explained.
"Do you honestly think that this is acceptable?"
"My teacher said that there is no problem, unless I'm willing to retake the exams in the appropriate times."
"This isn't worth your time! You can leave here for unless you can find yourself something new to study. You have until Friday." My mum opened the door wider.
"Okay, thank you." I stepped inside. "Do you two want to come in for a while?" I tuned round to look and Jun and Minju.
"I still have some time. Can I come in please?" Jun said.
"It really is getting late. I'll be going now." Minju waved before going back.
"Bye Minju!" I waved back. "Oh. Come in. Let's go upstairs to my room." I said, as gestured Jun to come in.
"You still haven't introduced me to your new friend." My mum blocked Jun from entering.
"Hello. I'm Wen Junhui." Jun bowled slightly.
"Okay, come in then." My mum stepped to the side, letting Jun enter.
"Thank you." Jun smiled, as he entered.
"Come on, let's go upstairs." I said, making my way to the staircase.
When we got to my room, Jun immediately closed the door and sat down on the chair. "Hey Yuri, do you remember when your mum said that you have to find something new to study?... Well your musical talents are really good, and there is this girls group beginning to form called 'fifteen'. How about you go for the audition tomorrow and become a trainee?" Jun whispered.
"No. I can't do that. My mum will never agree to that." I protested.
"Tell me, what is there for her to agree to? It's your life. So the decision is up to you. Is this something you would enjoy doing or not?" Jun asked.
"Well... I really enjoy singing, and I always wanted to take dance lessons... But I'm way too quiet and I have zero confidence in myself. Also I don't know if I would be able to keep up with the others." I explained in a quiet voice, as I lowered my head.
Jun reached out to my chin, and gently lifted my head. "Yuri... I'm not pressuring you, but really the only reason you don't have self-confidence, is just because you say so. The truth is that you are a very self-confident person, that means that the one thing that you are not, is shy. You just have to believe in yourself." Jun said, as he let go of my chin.
I began to drop my head again out of embarrassment.
"Yuri, you will never overcome the shy part of you, if you keep lowering your head like that."
I unwillingly lifted my head. "I might go for the auditions but definitely not tomorrow." I said confidently.
"That's good, but why not tomorrow?" Jun asked confused.
"Well, first of all, I won't see you as often as I do now. Secondly, I might not be able to attend your concert this Sunday, and finally, I have very little chance of getting in." I explained.
"First of all, we will have even bigger possibilities of seeing each over. Secondly, you won't get accepted straight away, it will take a week or two, and finally, I believe in you and I know that you will be able to make it without a problem." Jun smiled.
"Okay, thank you. I will go to the audition tomorrow, but what will I do for it?"
"Don't worry, I'll come for you tomorrow morning, and I will take you to the Seventeen's dance studio. I'll help you to learn a song and learn a dance routine. All you have to do is think about a song you want to perform. Okay?"
"Okay." I nodded.
"Then, I'll be going now. Go to sleep, it will be a hard and tough day tomorrow." Jun patted me on my head. "Goodnight." Jun said, as he opened the door and walked out.
"Goodnight!" I shouted, as I heard Jun coming down stairs.
I sat down on the bead, thinking about tomorrow, and slowly, preparing myself to tell mum about my plan.

After couple of minutes I changed myself into my spare pyjamas, as my suitcase was still at Minju's. I turned the lights off, and tried to fall asleep.

Suddenly, some ringing sound woke me up.
I reached my hand towards my phone and noticed that the ringing sound was actually my alarm clock.
I turned off the alarm, and slowly sat up.
Then, I remembered about the audition. I immediately unlocked my phone and began searching for kpop girls' groups songs.
After a while I realised that I was unable find a girls group song that I would like to dance to. Then I realised that I knew all of the seventeen dance versions they realised.
After a while of thinking, I thought that it would be a good idea if I could have danced to Adour U.
I quickly got changed into my most comfortable clothes that I could find and then ran down to get some breakfast.
"Hi, are you hungry?" My mum was already downstairs, preparing some toasts.
"Hi, yes. I'm starving." I answered.
"Okay then, the breakfast is almost ready. Have a sit." My mum said as she placed the toasts on the plates.
"Eat up." My mum passed me on of the plates, that had two toasts on eat.
"Thank you." I smiled, as I began to eat my breakfast.
Suddenly, a sound of someone knocking on the door distracted us from our breakfast.
"Yuri, go open the door." I stood up and walked towards the door.
