9th October 2019
"May I help you?" I asked as I noticed a person staring at me.
"Oh, umm, actually never mind." They said and ran off, bloody first years
I sat in the study room of my school looking for Universities that I could possibly go to. Most of the Universities I wanted were too good for me to get into with their entry requirements being to high
"That's LSE off the list." I sighed
(LSE is the London School Of Economics And Political Science)University list:
•Queen Mary's- Finance (Possible)
•Imperial College-Finance and Economics(Possible)
•LSE-Economics (Not Possible)
•University Of Kent-Asian Studies (Possible)My list wasn't looking too good for me, my first choice was Kent because I wanted to move to Korea or Japan when I was older.
My plan was that if football didn't work out for me, then I would go to university and maybe move to Korea around a year or two after graduating.
I then got a call on my phone, I answered it without checking the number or who it was
"Hello?" I asked
"Hello, is this (Y/n) (L/n)?" The person on the other end of the call said
"Yes, May I ask who this is?"
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry if I'm bothering you, it is just that Miss Kim Ji-ah from JYP would like to talk to you."
"Is this regarding the auditions?" I asked
"I have no knowledge of that sir, all I know is that she wants to speak to you in person."
"Ok I'll make my way over there now."I then hung up the phone and grabbed all my stuff including my textbooks and shoved them into my locker. I slid my phone into my pocket and grabbed my bag and went out of the door, I got to the station and took the first train to central London.
I made it to the JYP building and went inside, and waiting at the front desk for me was Itzy's manager Kim Ji-ah
"Oh (Y/n), you're looking smart today, what's the occasion?"
"I have to wear business clothing for school, it's to make us look more professional, if I didn't have short notice I would've gone home and changed."(Didn't know what to pick as an outfit so I went with this, you can have your own style)
"Oh I see."
"So you called?" I said
"Right, can you please follow me?" She said
I followed her to a medium sized room which had a desk and a couple of seats, from this I could infer that we were in her office.
"Please have a seat."
I sat down on a chair and she sat at her desk
"May I ask what all this is about?"
"Of course, so at the end of every week I have to send a statement to JYP giving him a view of what is going on in the girls' day to day life whilst living in London."
"And what has this got to do with me?"
"I told him about you, he was somewhat impressed that you acted professionally when seeing the girls, he actually told me to have this meeting with you."
"Ok?"
"And what I'm asking of you, well not me but JYP, we want you to accompany Itzy to their first awards show in London."
"Oh, I see, May I ask as to why you have picked myself instead of anyone else?"
"Well some of the girls like you and all of them know who you are, this will also give you a chance to meet them properly."
"That's great and all but may I ask when this is?"
"Tomorrow, I know I should've given you more time to think about it but my schedule has been all over the place, and we could really use your help with the language barriers they may face tomorrow."
"I'm free tomorrow evening, but I need travel to and from the event and also I need to eat whilst I'm there."
"We can get that sorted for you, the event will start at 8:30 pm tomorrow and we'll have a car to come and pick you up at 7 pm."
"Great, will that be all?"
"Correct, actually there is 1 thing, wear a suit tomorrow."
"Right." I sighedOnce I got home, I went upstairs and collapsed onto my bed, I checked my phone and saw I had some unread texts
Kim Ji-ah:
This is my personal number but call me if you need anything.
Sonny:
For training next week, make sure we work extra hard! I believe you can be ready for Watford in no time!
Imperial College:
Review of application-We have read your application and we don't think that this university is the one for you, good luck for your future.I groaned as I pinched the bridge of my nose, that was one more university off of my list. I decided to try and cheer myself up by playing some FIFA which I hoped would take my mind off of everything but It wasn't really working.
The only other thing I could do was rest and then figure it all out in the morning.
I woke up in the morning and looked around my room, something was off but I couldn't tell what, I then realised. It was already 11am!
How could I sleep in so long!
I needed to get to training quickly, so I rushed and got dressed and ran out of the house with a piece of toast hanging from my mouthOnce I made it to training, I ran out onto the pitch and I remembered, it was international break. That meant there was no training but since I was already there I decided to train anyway.
I had started by reviewing some of my footage from my previous games and I saw one thing I was lacking was passing.
I'd always be too slow with my passes so that was what I was going to train.I spent the next five hours passing to mini nets, then to dummies that are used for free kicks and then scaled down even smaller to little plastic cones.
By the end of the training session, I was getting better at quick passes with one of two touches of the ball.
Once I stopped training, I put away all the equipment and went to head inside but then I saw someone standing by the pitch, it was Poch.
"I see you've been practicing." He said
"Yeah, I forgot about international break and decided instead of going back home I'd just train anyways."
"That's what I like about you, you always put full effort into what you do, now go home and rest yourself."
"Ok sir, see you next week!"
A/n: Sorry for the rubbish chapter, I'll try and make them better but I can't promise anything just yet, I'm thinking of taking a break from writing but I haven't reached a conclusion yet.
Thanks for reading!
