Part IV

PARIS

"Hey, have you heard? Yoongi and Jin entered the military". Sun Hee said on the phone. These were the times that we would catch up and sometimes reminisce.

"Really? Oh, it has been a year since their world tour. Sorry, Sun Hee, I was too busy with school that I missed some of their activities. But it's okay because you're there to give me updates about them, right?", I teased her lovingly.

"The reason for my existence is forever to be your bestfriend", she said while giggling. We said our goodbyes and hung up the phone.

While putting the phone down it crossed my mind that I missed those days that we were an active fans of BTS. Tried to stop myself from reminsicing again, so I got ready to go to my part-time job, a waitress at a restaurant.

Living in Paris is not easy. I am sharing an apartment with Lindsay, one of my classmates. She asked me on my first week in Paris if I wanted to share a place with her.

I was staying at a dorm at that time. It was so small, and so I didn't think twice in accepting her offer. She is a rich kid that wants to be independent. Out of all the students, she said she chose me because she felt that I am a good person. Lucky for me and thankful for her instincts. She wanted me to stay for free but I insisted on paying. That's why I have to do this part-time job and also to pay for my other expenses. On top of that, I have to maintain my grades for the scholarship.

Graduation day came and as I was getting ready to go to the ceremony my parents called to congratulate me. They apologized for not being with me on this special day. They were very proud of me and I almost cried because of that. I never thought that I can achieve my dream.

It has been three years since I left Seoul. I stopped myself from getting teary eyed and went out of the apartment. I hurriedly called a cab so as not to be late.

I saw Lindsay when I arrived, together with her parents. Some of the chairs were already occupied by the students and parents were busy congratulating their children.

I roamed my eyes on the scenery before me. What a joy that I have accomplished this? Silently, I thanked Min Yoongi and the members of BTS. They were my inspiration. Their music inspired me to come out of my shell and explore the things that I can do.

Lost in thoughts, Lindsay came up to me, she was accompanied by a tall good-looking guy. "Eun Ae, I would like you to meet Pierre. He is one of the assistants of Ms. Anne Le Roux". She introduced.

"Hi, nice to meet you", he said with a good masculine voice.

I was amazed that Lindsay personally knew Ms. Anne Le Roux, a famous fashion designer. "Pierre is here because Ms. Anne wants you to work for her on one of her upcoming shows next week. By the way, Anne Le Roux is a friend of my mom's, in case your wondering". She said proudly.

I was astounded at how rich Lindsay's family is, to be acquainted with rich people like Ms. Anne. "She wants to work with me? I mean how and......?", still confused by this sudden news.

Pierre explained, "I think she saw your designs when she and Lindsay's mom went to visit her".

"Oh, thank you so much. I don't know what else to say." I said, still dumbfounded and shook hands with him. He gave me his calling card and told me to contact him the next day to discuss the preparations for the event. I was still stunned after he left. I kept the calling card in my pocket when the ceremony started.

The ceremony ended well. Everything was like a dream. I still can't get over what happened when I went home. I tried to convince myself that Ms. Anne Le Roux is interested to work with me. After taking a shower, I called my parents and Sun Hee to tell them about the news. They were also overjoyed for me. I slept feeling grateful and blessed.

I called Pierre in the morning and that was the start of my career as an apprentice in Fashion Design.
