Chapter 28: Debut

Yoojung's POV

Time flies by so fast indeed. It has already been a year since I signed up with Big Hit. 3 days from now my debut showcase will finally take place. I'm both nervous and excited.

For the past few months I have done promotions such as V lives, variety show guestings, and became an opening act to BTS oppa's concert. I hope I did enough for people to look forward to my debut.

Hoseok oppa, Yoongi oppa, and Namjoon opp, gifted me a song which they wrote and produce which will be included in my side tracts. I felt so loved by the three of them. I never thought that I could be close to them because they seem like the quiet and shy ones, but they ended up being my mentors not just in rap and song writing but also in life.

Today, was given to me to relax and mentally prepare myself for my debut. I decided to spend the day with Bang PD...yup I still call him that.

Throughout the months our relationship has improved alot. I can now openly discuss matters about my career with him. I have also observed how we have similar quirks and manerisms. Most of the time we just stay here at Big Hit Entertainment to bond. I have discussed to him that I don't want the public to know my connection to him, at least not before I debut. I still fear that people would only support me because of my connections with him and BTS.

I knocked before entering his office, he was saying goodbye to someone on the phone. That's probably work related. This guy still works even on his "Free" day.

"Hi!" I greeted him.

"Hi! That was the sales department manager on the phone. They said that the pre order list for your 1st mini album has reached 250,000" He said looking proud.

I frowned. Now I can really feel the pressure.

"What's wrong? You should be happy!" He said.

"I'm nervous about my debut showcase. I feel like people are expecting a lot from me because I came from the same company as BTS. I just don't want to disappoint people." I said.

"It's true. Maybe a part of those people pre ordered because some of the songs were written and produced by BTS members. What you need to do now is to impress them so that they would see that you deserve all this hype. You are talented you work as hard as those boys. I'm sure everything will go well. Just don't think too much about it. Don't think about the sales, don't think about others expectations. Just remember why you wanted to be an idol in the first place. " He said. He was looking at his hands instead of me.

I got teary eyed with what he said. It really feels so good to have my father with me at times like this. I can still feel that he is still shy when it comes to expressing his opinions about my life and career. But honestly, this is exactly what I need right now, words of encouragement and support from my father.

"Thanks Bang PD, I'll keep that in mind" I said.

"So.. What do we do today?" He asked.

Finally, serious talks are over and it's now time to relax.

It is the night before showcase day and I'm more nervous than ever. I was trying to relax by playing and petting Popo.

This guy has been a great stress reliever. He could easily take my exhaustion after a hard day's work. Having him gave me a sense of purpose , that someone depends on me and that I was needed. I really grateful that Jimin oppa gave him to me.

I heard my doorbell rang so I stood up and opened the door. It was Jimin Oppa he had Tannie in his arms. No wonder Popo looks excited. He likes Jimin oppa a lot.... Maybe because of the fact that I mostly ask him to take care of Popo when my schedule is packed.
