"Eomma, you don't need to cook me something. Just go home and rest."

"Don't you want to see your mother? It's a little bland. Where is your salt?" She said as she opens the lid of the pot.

"That's not what I mean, we can just eat out you know? There are a lot of good restaurants nearby. You are just tiring yourself." I said as I hand her the salt.

"Aish. I'm okay. I love cooking for my daughter. Mina-yah, would you also like kimchi pancake?" She asked Mina.

"It's okay, auntie. Would you need my help on anything? I'll help set the table." Mina asked as she approached us to the kitchen.

"Sure. Set the table with Nayoung. I'm almost done, I'll just fry this kimchi pancake."

"Okay auntie."

Mina and I set up the table. My mom cooked Kimchi stew and Kimchi pancake. She brought a lot of kimchi for me that's why we had a lot of kimchi dishes. My refrigerator is actually full of kimchi right now. I won't run out of kimchi for a year. ╥﹏╥

"Eomma, did you bought all the kimchi at the market? How did you even brought them here?" I asked as took a bite of some rice.

"What bought? I made them all. Your grandma helped me. Even your brother and dad too."

"Wah. You're all incredible." 

"Mina-yah, eat a lot. You can bring home some too. There are still a lot left on the pot. I'll pack you some later. I'll also give you some kimchi."

"Auntie, thank you very much. This kimchi stew is really delicious." Mina said with a thumbs up. Well, my mom do cook really well.

After eating, my mom rested for a while and had a chat with Mina as I wash the dishes. 

"Nayoung-ah, I think I should get home now. The drive would be too long." Mom said as she fixed her things.

"Would you be okay? You can stay for the night here if you want."

"It's okay. I need to help your grandma on some stuff too. I can't stay here. Mina, I'll drive you to the bus station. I'll passed by it anyways."

"Really, auntie? Thank you very much." Mina replied.

"Ah, right. Is Jihoon home? Give him some kimchi stew and kimchi. I brought a lot anyways." My mom said.

"WAIT EOMMA! You know Jihoon is also living here? That's why you suggested this place!!!" I said with a raised tone. My mom knew all along??? Is she trying to pair me with Jihoon?

"Me? So what? It's nice to live near a friend. Jihoon is a good boy. I'm really close to his parents. Be nice to him."

"Ya eomma, you are letting me hangout with a singer but you won't let your daughter be singer? I can't really understand you at times." I replied. 

My mom's face suddenly turned dark. It's definitely because I mentioned me being a singer.

"Lee Nayoung. I told you to never mentioned about that dream of yours. Just focus on being a doctor. If you don't want to hang out with my friend's son then I'll stop. And if you ever mentioned that damn thing again, I will really send you abroad." My mom said with a really serious tone.

"Yah, why are you being so serious? I'll study well and be a.... doctor." I nervously replied.

"I'll get going now." She said while walking straight to the door.

Mina hurriedly followed my mom and waived goodbye to me.

Mom was really serious. I should just really forget about my dream.

That night, I couldn't sleep at all. I have a lot of thoughts in my head. Why is my mom is so against my dream to be a singer? Did something happened before? I really can't understand. Ugh, I need to be on school early tomorrow, I need to sleep now. :(

Nayoung-ah!!! I hope you're okay. Don't mind your mother that much. She must have a reason why she's like that. If you need someone to talk to, I'm just a text and call away. Good night! See you (in my dreams) tomorrow! :)

I'm so lucky to have a bestfriend like Mina in this world.

I suddenly remembered I haven't replied to Jihoon's message a while ago.

Sorry for replying late. The audition went well. I made mistake at some parts, but it's okay. It's late, you are probably resting. Good night!

Maybe listening to music can make me sleep. I plugged in my earphones and closed my eyes. 

Minutes late, my phone rang.

It's funny how can a simple good night from a certain person can make my mood better.

"Nayoung-ah, I think you must be crazy."

The night went really fast. I fell asleep a little past one, and I'm really sure only a few minutes passed but when my alarm went off, it's already 6 am. Life is hard.

I did my daily routine, except that I decided to buy food outside for breakfast, i feel lazy. The whole week went fast like that. Waking up, prepare for school, eat breakfast, school, study, going home to school, study, eat dinner, study, eat some snacks and a little bit tv watching, STUDY, go to sleep. 

I can't even explain what I feel. It's like I don't feel anything. I'm not exactly tired, but neither I am happy. Will I live like this forever? I hope not.

Not until one afternoon, while studying in libraby, i received a call that will probably change my whole situation right now.

"Yoboseyo?"

"Ne, Annyeonghaseyo. Are you Lee Nayoung-ssi?"

"Ne, it's me. How can I help you."

"This is Kwak Dongjin, a casting staff from JYP. I'm happy to relay to you the news that you passed our audition! We would like to meet you again in person, I will message you the details."

Lee Nayoung, you're screwed.
