Chapter 3

It's finally 1 week away from graduation, and the final examinations are finally done! I don't have to study anymore, wow. I've been studying my whole life that it feels weird that I don't have to study anymore.

Today, me and Minji would go to SM entertainment to talk about our work contract. I'm so excited, although I still don't know a lot about my job description. Would I be handling all SM groups' stages or like specific ones?

Let's just see.

"Haewon.. I'm so excited that I can faint.." Minji muttered beside me, we were finally in front of the SM building, yes THE SM BUILDING.

I've been living here for 3 years but this is the first time I've ever visited the building. I can't believe I'll start working here everyday by next week.

I gripped Minji's hand and give her a comforting smile, before we went in together. Our hands and legs were basically shaking like jelly.

"Oh welcome! Is there anything I can help you with?" the lady in the counter asked us the moment she noticed us.

"Uhm we're here to discuss about our work contract." I smiled at her.

"Oh you must be Kim Haewon and Lee Minji?" she asked us while we nodded at her as confirmation. "Please follow me to the office." 

We followed the lady and then stepped into the elevator, I saw posters of SM groups while we walked. I smiled brightly when I saw Girl's Generation, F(x) and Red Velvet's posters. While the boy groups might look a bit unfamiliar to me but I do know most of their group names.

"The CEO will come soon, please wait inside." the lady said as she pointed to one of the rooms, which I'm assuming is the office.

We thanked the lady and went inside the room that she pointed at, sitting nervously as this is both our first full-time jobs. I decided to hum Red Velvet to ease my nervousness. I noticed Minji staring at me with confusion that turned into a grin when she realized what song I was humming. She then joined me in humming, while keeping a grin in her face. The action made us relax a bit and feel less nervous.

We stopped humming when someone suddenly went into the office and smiled at us. "I assume that you both are Kim Haewon and Lee Minji?". We nodded at him, confirming his assumption.

"I'm the current CEO of SM, nice to meet you." He introduced himself and shook our hand one by one. "Although I'm pretty sure Ms. Lee knows her job desk, Ms. Kim's job desk might be a vague when she applied for it. So I'll be explaining Ms. Kim's job first before telling both of you on which groups you guys would be handling." 

"So Ms. Kim, I would like to ask you to be in charge of every performances of the group that you'll be handling. We're not asking you to each them dance or anything but we want you to cooperate and discuss with every concert venues or award shows on how the performance would look like and then explaining it to the dance coach and the group themselves. You're also in charge of organizing the group's personal concert, from budgeting to rundown. I believe you can do it with the amount of experience and scores you have." he explained to me with a smile.

(A/N: I actually do not know how SM staff works, but since this is fiction, their job desks are purely from my imagination so that the story would work)

God that sounds a lot, I feel happy that I get to work for concerts but I didn't think that I'll immediately be in charge of organizing one. I shook my head inwardly and smiled, I should trust my skills more and this is definitely something I'm passionate about. Now I'm just hoping that I would get to be in charge of Red Velvet, since that's the only group I followed in SM since SNSD and F(x) doesn't have much activities anymore.
