"And that is for the entertainment news for today.. this is Choi Jina reporting."

'Tss..She must be very famous starring herself on TV.'

I was here in this convenient store late this night for my shift. Tsk.. Making money is not that easy.

"Isn't she pretty?"
The costumer commented about the reporter after I gave him the change.

I didn't give any respond. But he didn't leave as he received his items, he just looked at me.
"Mmm.. you are quite handsome."
What is he saying? Is he gay?

"Do you want to be an idol? You know I cast good-looking trainees for the company I worked in."
"No thanks.. I am not interested."
"Really?Oh..but if you change your mind.. here's my calling card. Call me if you are interested."

He handed me a card and left the store.

Nam Taehyun
Casting Intern
019-****-****
JGS Entertainment

Tss.. Idols suck.
I placed the card unto my pocket and cleaned the area.. In few minutes I'll be gone home.

It's 12 midnight. My shift just finished and another one came for his shift.

I do the same thing six days a week. During the day, I worked in a bakeshop as a baker. On my rest day, Sunday, I do other stuff like walking the dogs of my neighbors. And I got tired of this kind of jobs

But all of these is way better than becoming a fisherman. I admit that I used to adore my dad for being one when I was young but as I grew up.. I had some realizations.

So when I graduate highschool, I declined dad's decision to help him fish and left for Seoul. I will find a better job here and prove to them that I will be rich one day.

Months after I left, our business in Imja went bad. Dad blamed me for this.
Yet it didn't move me. I didn't tell my parents where I am and what I do.
I only told my sister Baechun that I am doing well.

Soon, my parents would understand me.

As I biked in the quiet street to get home, I read a text from my sister inviting me to Imja High school Alumni Homecoming next month.

'Huh.. The hell I care about this. I don't even want to see those people.'

"Hey..give me your money."
I heard a man at the corner of the street.
"I'm sorry but I don't have any. I've bought medicine with it."
Another man was held captive.
"You are useless. Your phone?"
The man was now holding a knife.
"Yes yes.. I will give you. Please don't kill me."
As the victim was about to give I shouted.

"Yah.. What are you doing here? Don't you know this is my territory?"
And I knuckled my fists.
"Who are you? You Son of a b—"
I punched his nose..
He held his nose bleeding. He wanted to stab me with a dagger but I hurriedly grabbed it and put him down.
"You should know who you are fighting with.. Not me." And I released then went out running.

The man held captive was still as scared as a cat.
He was the same man who was my last costumer before I ended my shift.. The same man who invited me to his agency.

" No.. please don't kill me. I'll give you anything."
"Hey.. I was just kidding back there. I won't hurt you. You can go now."
The man still look scared.
"Ahmm.. the thing is.. I got lost."
"What?"
"Yah..this was my first time to be here in this area. I was out with my team to cast idols but I got lost here. And then my asthma attacked so I went to the store.. Ahh you were in that store right? But then I don't know where to go until someone asked me for money."
What an idiot.

" Why did you not call your colleagues? "
" My phone died so yeah.. hehe"
He even made a smile.
"Please help me.. I'll help you when you need me."
Oh.. this is a good deal.
"Fine.. where is your place?"

The man told me the name of his place and hopped unto my bicycle. And after a few minutes, we arrived in front of an apartment. A quite big apartment that only those in middle class can afford.

"Thank you so much for bringing me here. Maybe if you didn't come.. I'm already in the headlines tomorrow."
"So you live here?" Ignoring his statement, I looked up at the big apartment.

"Yeah apparently. My grandmother owns this so I lived here while my parents are in the US."
"You must be a rich guy. How much is one room?" This must be a good place to live. My apartment right now is so small and the landlord is such an alcoholic.
"Around 200,000 Won a month." My eyes grew bigger. I guess I just have to endure my current room.
"But I can give you discount since you helped me today.."
"Really?"
"Yeah..And if you accept my invitation to train in my uncle's company, I'll let you live here for FREE"
'Seriously?Woaaah this is so tempting but NO.. Being an idol is sore in my eyes.
"I think I'll just settle with a discount..Being an idol is not my thing. But do you hire other employees in your company?"
I needed a stable job.
"Aww that' s a waste. You look good I'm sure you'll hit big. But if you are looking for another job, the agency is full.. Mmm but my Uncle's Music Studio is in need. Maybe you'd like to visit there."

Music Studio? This is much better work than becoming an idol.

" So.. think about it. Call me if you are interested and.. if you change your mind about the Idol thingy."
And I left feeling the card that I just put in my pocket earlier.

This is something I need to consider.. for my goal..

I'll let you be proud of me.. Jina.
