After the audition, she got in. She picked YG over the other big two. She was a fan of 2NE1, could not resist that. She became the first foreigner to join the Korean idol world. Well, we're not surprised. Amirite?

At the airport.
"Bye ! I'll make sure I'll be safe! Don't worry. I'll call you once a month so please you can stop crying now..." Lisa giving her a reassuring smile, wiping her mother's tears away. But instead of stopping her mom cried louder .She nodded understandingly with a smile of proudness plastered on her face.
"I'll miss you soooo much, my dear.."
She opened her arms for one last hug before her daughter leaves for Korea.
Lisa wrapped her arms around her mother and hugged her real tight. She will surely miss this feeling.
"L-Lisa... I c-can't b-b-breathe..." her mom coughed.
"Oh-" She loosened the hug as she chuckled. After pulling off, she gave her mom one last kiss on the cheek before she becomes busy in being a kpop idol.
"I'll miss you too! But don't worry! I'll be back even before you know it!" She wiped her tears as she runs to the gate.
She turned around to where her mom was standing and waved goodbye.
"See you later!"
Her mom nods in response as she waved back.
She turned around and sighed.
"My dream is now coming true." She whispered under her breath.
She avoided stealing a glance from her mother in any way possible which was hard but she made it. She did that otherwise she would walk through the gates and run away from Korea just to go back to her mother's arms and stay.
She entered the plane, found her seat, which luckily was next to the window. She put her bags in storage up the seats and sat. As her butt touched the seat, she sighed.
'I'm finally going to Korea.' She thought to herself as she closed her eyes and imagined what life could be in Korea.

In YG ent. Company
"Noone can speak English with her, okay? She needs to learn Korean as she chose to be a kpop idol. Understand?" YG, the owner said sternly in Korean which Lisa didn't understand. After the announcement, he smiled to Lisa as if he just did not make a mean statement about her.
"You can make friends" he whispered to her in English breaking his own rule.
Lisa nodded nervously. She didn't know anyone. She's all alone. She doesn't even know their language.
"Hey, you're new here right?" A very pretty girl suddenly came up to her and greeted her in English. Yes, another one who broke the rule.
"Y-yes..." Lisa stuttered, not knowing what to do. She's nervous as hell.
"Hey don't be scared, I'm a human too." She chuckled.
"I'm Irene!" She offered her hand.
"L-Lisa.." she hesitated before shaking the girl's hand. Nervousness and anxiety was written all over her face.
"Hey.. calm down..." Irene rubbed her back.
Lisa's breathing became steady and was ready to face anything that would happen next. Irene smiled. Anyone else would think she is mean and selfish but no. She is exactly the opposite of that.
"How about let's go grab some food so we can lessen the tension and get to know each other more. Oh and welcome to YG!"
Noone has welcomed her yet except the CEO himself so Lisa was definitely touched by the action.
"Thank you."
"Don't be nervous around me. You've got a friend in me now! And as a good friend, I'll help you all the way." Irene dragged her outside the building and went to a restaurant.
Irene were explaining the rules and regulations and also taught her some Korean words when Irene suddenly changed the topic.
"You're actually easy to be with, Lisa."
Lisa smiled at Irene shyly, thanking Irene for the compliment. And Irene knew this was the time to suggest the idea.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt you to meet my friends, right?"
"I'd love to!" she nodded approvingly.
And the rest of the day, they talked and laughed and soon after, Lisa met Joy, Wendy, Seulgi, and Yeri, Irene's friends.
