VII

Holly was sure of two things: 1) she was bad at math and 2) Yoo Jungdae was a bad influence

Somehow the boy had convinced both Sookmi and her into missing practice for the day, it was his birthday of course and their manager may or may not have helped him, but that doesn't change the fact that the three of them were missing practice when none of them had amazing scores at the last month evaluations.

There were three kind of trainee at SM: the ones who will debut, the ones in the middle and the ones who will leave once the contract ended.
The three of them were in the middle, maybe Jungdae was a little bit more on the last category and that's why he didn't even give a fuck anymore.

Sookmi was street casted, they found her singing Christmas carols on the streets of Gangnam with her tambourine and a crowd surrounding her. She got a phone number and then a private audition and she was in.

Jungdae make it through the whole audition process from several companies, sometimes he got in, sometimes he was rejected. He originally wanted to get into YG, being a  rapper and all. The boy was born to be on stage, and spitted fire every time he hold a mic. But he wasn't going to let SM change his style, so he was waiting for his contract to end to try luck at Cube. Or maybe try To get into YG again, who knows?

But Holly? She barely make it through the global audition, she has being a trainee for over four years and there were no results apparently, her contract was coming soon to an end and there were no signs of debut for her. Of course she was worried. The closest thing she got to being promoted was that time she was a background dancer to Taemin Sunbaenim and there weren't even cameras at the dance studio. Like a 'Try out, let's see if you can't even  work as a back up'

"Noona you're spacing out with that creepy panic face again" Jungdae interrupted her thoughts

"sorry sundae"

"girl you looked like you weren't breathing, I know you're my fan a and all but control yourself" Sookmi laughed at her

Holly just smiled embarrassed. 

"let's get going, or we'll be late" Jungdae took both females by the hand and walked them out of the SM Training Center in Gangnam, hiding their faces and avoiding all contact with any other trainee or the managers.  The three runaways where quick, making their way to Cheonggyecheon, where they played and laughed, making fun of eachother and making fun of themselves. After a few hours they got bored and went to eat some ice cream at a convenience store. Near by was a bus station, the face of an idol bright and beautiful, pale skin, plump pink lips, and shampoo commercial hair, "HAPPY JOHNNY DAY" it read. It was Youngho.

"Isn't that the american tree from the agency? What was his name... Youngwo... Jeongho..." Sookmi interrupted

"Youngho" Holly whispered

"Who? Him? Yeah, who know basement-hyung would make it?" Jungdae snickered 

"don't call him that, sundae" Holly said "better late than never, right?" the boy nodded

i'll probably end up being a basement-noona too.  

Holly gave the Youngho poster a last simpatethic smile and leaved.
