July

"Miss, your stuff just arrived." my maid handed a medium sized box to me.

"Thanks" I mumbled as I am brushing my teeth.

I closed my door and screamed "YOOOO WAKE UP WAKE UP!"

Yumi threw my pillow at me and get back to sleep. Cherry who's been sleeping over also pulled her blanket and gets back to sleep.

"Whatever guys. Sleep all you want. I'm going to unbox Seventeen's new album WITHOUT you guys. yes. without." I nagged.

"Where's mine?" Yumi mumbled half-asleep.

"Whats yours is mine. All mine." I claimed.

Yumi forced herself to wake up, tried to reach her glasses and wore it as she sits. Still half-asleep. Cherry was just looking afar from the couch wide open but still not getting up.

"Okay okay let's reveal the moment of truth. Who's photocards am I going to get this time please please please kim mingyu." I continued to nag as I unbox and trying to find the photocard.

I took out the first photocard and laughed. Half satisfied half disappointed.

 Half satisfied half disappointed

Yumi laughed. "We always get Seungcheol's card for every album we bought."

"Right. This time i'm going to get Kim Mingyu." I responded as I took out the second photocard:

"GIVE ME THAT!!" Yumi get up from the bed and tried to reach the photocard as she screamed like a crazy old woman

"GIVE ME THAT!!" Yumi get up from the bed and tried to reach the photocard as she screamed like a crazy old woman.

I held the photocard up high and Yumi missed her target. She fell, her face was on the floor. Cherry and I burst into laughter.

Yumi stood up and accidentally kicked the album, and she fell again.

"This crazy shit!" she shouted and threw a piece of paper coming out from the album.

"Whats that?" I asked.

"Why don't you care about your sister here? My toe is numb!" Yumi yelped.

"Oh you'll be fine." I claimed as I picked up the paper. "Ooooo interesting. Pledis is holding an audition! You'll never know okay I might show up in Produce 101 season 5 soon hahahah."

"Yea I read the article on twitter Amy, they're accepting trainees globally. Maybe you should try." Cherry added.

"Me? What am I gonna do?" I asked in laughter.

"Pfft what else? you can rap what" Yumi jokingly said in sarcasm while checking out photos on the album, because for real I can NOT rap.

"Oh of course I do. You want to listen? Five six seven eight. SEUNGCHEOL JEONGHAN JISOO JUNI SOONYOUNG WONWOO JIHOON MYUNGHO MINGYU SEOKMIN SEUNGKWAN HANSOL CHAN!" I screamed my lungs out for the fanchant.

Cherry and I are dying out of laughter. Yumi does not care.

The three of us went out for lunch that afternoon at Paragon Mall. We're having sushi today.

"Do you remember where is your childhood hometown? back then in Korea?" I randomly asked Cherry.

Honestly the idea of applying Pledis's audition haven't left my mind since earlier. I keep asking myself is this even possible. Then where am I going to live. More generally HOW am i going to live.

"Me? I lived in Namyangju. Why?" Cherry responded.

"Is that, in, Seoul?" I asked again.

"Nope. About half an hour by car. Why did u ask again?"

"Ohh. If u can remember that, then why don't you want to talk to me in korean then? I know you still know how to speak korean." I said.

"네 사랑이 애미야~ 우리가 서울에서 아니거든." Amy backlashed me with her hanguk skill. Means: Amy my love, we're not even in Seoul.

Yumi chocked on her sushi and gulped a cup of water. "I didn't know you can speak korean cherr!" and eventually laughed.

"She grew up there okay, if she cant speak hanguk it's impossible." I responded on Cherry's behalf.

"Ohhh so now it makes sense. But Amy why are you asking about korean now are you really going to apply for the audition?" Yumi's question silent me.

I'm not even sure myself. Well sure, I love singing. Me and Cherry did make a few short songs and recorded it for fun. But being a trainee sounds too serious.

Only if it is that easy. I have bigger obstacles here in Singapore. My education, my parents, Harry, my life here. It would be so difficult to live by my own there. Though i can speak hanguk fluently, I don't really have the confidence and courage. Just by thinking of it makes me shiver. Maybe not now.

That night Yumi is out sneaking with her friends. I sit infront of my Macbook Pro, streaming Seventeen's MV.

Then I saw the Audition Notice beside my laptop. Looking so shining tonight. I can feel something attracted me to visit the website.

I checked the website and searched for the application form. I filled it up. All filled up, until I got stucked when it asked for a video of me singing or dancing. Mannn i lost my confidence right there. I closed my laptop and went straight to bed.

I called Harry. No answer. So me being such a girlfriend, tracked his GPS. Yup. He's at the club again.

I forced myself to sleep, in anxiety, crying and shivering. I don't know what to do with my life. It seems like a joke. Me myself would even laugh at my own self right now. Debut? In your dreams, Amy.

AN: That feeling when you're not necessarily sad, but you just feel empty.
Amy is in a mess. But you guys dont have to! Be happy today.
