Look at me for a sec, don't be too awkward
Don't worry, your heart wants me so be honest
You knew since you saw me first
I hope that you become sure of yourself, that's all
That the background picture in your phone is me
That you will hold my empty...
I sighed as I opened the store's door. Hay, jinjja. Korea's weather is too cold. I forgot to bring some of my coats, I need to buy new ones. I'm currently at the NBA store here.
It's only my second day and I'm already spending a fortune. Hay.
I was looking around the shop and looking at coats on the rack. I looked up to only see..

Destiny, you sick motherfucker. Seriously? I looked around the shop to only find pictures of him and his members plastered around the walls of this store.
I stared at his picture. He looks arrogant as ever. He's really successful now, huh? He's not the same Im Jaebum before. He's way too far now.
I was walking around the shop looking at their pictures. I remember how different they looked like when they were trainees. I stopped in front of a picture of him and a member of the "Nation's girl group".
I just shrugged and grab the coat I wanted and stood in line to pay for the coat I picked up.
"Da-eum-eun jebal. Uh?" (Next please.) The guy in the counter said. I quickly gave the coat to him. "Uh, those posters-- models. Who are they?" I asked in Korean.
He looked at me with confusion. And pointed at the group photo behind him. I nodded. "Eh? Miss? Have you been living under a rock? Those are idols from JYP. Do you really not know them?" He said to me.
I just smiled. I paid for the coat and grabbed the bag and went out. I kept my head down as I was walking. I kept walking.
*BEEEEEP!*
I looked at the car that just blew it's horn. The car window rolled down. "Eunhae-ah!" My eyes widened in shock. Damn it, why is this always happening to me?
"Jackson-ssi?" He smiled as I called his name.
"What are you doing wearing such thin clothes in this cold weather? When did you come back?" He asked me.
He does realize that he's in the middle of the street right? He hasn't changed one bit. He's still caring.
"Jackson-ssi. You're in the middle of the road. I need to get going. It was nice meeting you again. Annyeong." I said. He was gonna say something but I left quickly.
I don't want to be associated with them anymore. My world doesn't revolve around them and their world anymore. I need to know my priorities.
"Please. Just let me prove it to you once. I won't disappoint you." I said in Korean. I'm practically begging for an opportunity. What a cruel world.
He rejected me again and told me to come back when I was worthy enough to even step into their rooms.
I'm an aspiring fashion designer. I loved coming up with pieces. It has been my dream ever since. The place that "I wasn't even worthy to enter" is a well-known and respected clothing brand company.
They have amazing designers. I aspire to be a part of this company. Their company has taken over Asia and soon all over America and Europe.
They told me that I wasn't experienced enough. I didn't have any background. What the hell am I gonna do now? Ive been to a thousand other companies and they tell the same thing.
I was just staring at the prestigious building when my phone rang I looked at the caller ID. It was Naree.
She told me to meet her in a nearby cafe. I'm so tired. I'm done for today. I took a taxi to the nearby cafe .
She was sitting near the window. I entered she already bought me a drink and some snacks.
"Wah, look at you. You look so haggard jinjja." She told me with disgust.
"Chingu-ya. I don't know what to do anymore. What I'm supposed to do. They keep telling me I don't have experience. I studied for 5 years in Canada. Isn't that enough?" I cried out.
She tsk-ed.
"Ya! That's why I called you. I set up something for you." I looked up and she was nodding.
"Mwo?" (What?)
"The best way to gain a decent background is working for entertainment agencies. Be a stylist. Idols would be wearing your design and you might even have a chance to win 'Stylist of the year'. So are you gonna take my offer or what?"
Eh? Stylist for idols? That's not a bad idea. But I'll be tailing idols all day. But it's better than wasting each day just getting rejected by companies.
I trust Naree. So I agreed. She told me she already made them see my sketches.
It's win-win for me. I would earn money and enough background to work in a prestigious company.
