The eonni gave me a handkerchief and everyone in the studio gave a round of applause.
My tears wouldn't stop coming, because my dream just came to reality.
"Oh. right. So do you have anything to say to those who supported you?" The eonni MC asked me.
"Uh. ne. I'm really thankful to those who supported me in this. especially to my parents and to my donsaeng . . ." I sniffed. " Omma, Appa . . . Gomawoyo."
I bursted in tears once again. "To all who have been with me from the start. Kamsahamnida!!!" I wiped my tears as I shouted my last word while waving my trophy in the air.
After the show, at the backstage the other contestants congratulated me again. I even had a little chat with some of them who became close with me while we were still competing for the title.
"Nuna!" My brother hugged me tightly.. He looked at my face and pinched my cheeks. "My sister is a celebrity now!" He hugged me again and this time Mom and Dad hugged me too.
"I just won in a reality show." I told my brother like its just a little thing for me.
"Yah. this is not just. This is a big thing " My mom said. I just gave them a wide grin.
Someone approached me. "Excuse me. Can I have a minute with you?" I nodded . He gave me a card. A business card to be exact and showed me his I.D. kim Baek Seo. SM Entertainment Director.
"Do you want to be a star?" And with that sudden question. My dear life changed to something big.
