A Job With Him

Love Again

"So you're saying that I just need to apply through this website and they will email me when is my audition?" I asked Wayne who was sipping his Iced Americano.

"Yes, then all you need to do is travel there and find a place to stay for a while. At least, until the results of the audition are out. So if you don't make it, you can come back here. But if you do, they will provide you accommodation." I nodded and filled up the registration form in my laptop. I then pressed "apply" and successfully registered for an audition with a company called ElyXiOn. It was the biggest company in Korea and so I thought about giving it a try first.

"Are you really sure you wanna go to Korea just for Joshua? I mean, he kind of left you, twice..." Wayne mumbled the last word but I still heard him.

"Well, he saved my life multiple times, including the first time he left me. However, he came back and extended his stay just for me. So this is the least I can do, to try and get back in contact with him again. Plus, I'm going there to actually get a job too. It's not just about him," I chuckled and replied to him. He smiled and nodded his head in understanding, then went back to sipping his drink. Now, I just needed to wait for a reply from the company.

I finally received an email after a few days and got accepted into an audition! It was in 5 days which was enough time for me to pack and get to Korea. That night, I got my luggage and departed from Singapore.

Upon arriving at my destination, I asked a local where the hotel I had booked was in Korean. He was wearing a mask and hoodie, covering most of his face. His eyes widened at first but helped me with the directions anyway. Maybe he was surprised that I was fluent?

"It's just around here. Just cross the road there and make a left turn, you would see the building already."

"Oh alright, thank you!" I was about to leave when he called out for me.

"Wait! May I know your name? I uhh... I see that you are holding an audition form for the company ElyXiOn and was wondering if you were going there for the upcoming auditions?"

"Ahh... yes I am. But why do you want to know my name? Sorry, but we just me-" I got cut off by a sudden crowd of girls running over towards our direction screaming, "OMG IT'S BYUN BAEKHYUN!" At that moment, the guy took my hand and dragged me away. I was trying to stop him but he was too strong and we ran all the way outside the airport, in the opposite direction of where I was supposed to go.

We soon reached a dark alleyway where the man pulled me into and kept me close. The people chasing us ran past while still screaming Baekhyun's name continuously. Why were his fangirls doing that? I then realised how uncomfortable of a situation I was in where the close contact between me and the man got more obvious. It seemed like he was side-hugging me. I quickly shrugged him off and made some distance. I stood in front of him with a questioning look. The guy chuckled and just rubbed his neck. He then apologized profusely and took out his disguise. My eyes widened at the person in front of me.

"OMG! Byun Baekhyun? Is that really you?" I exclaimed and gasped. I couldn't believe that I was talking to my favourite singer! Well, after Josh of course. He then placed his fingers to his lips as a signal for me to quiet down and I nodded my head sheepishly, apologizing as well.

"So... wanna tell me your name now that you know who exactly I am?"

I giggled then replied. "Sorry, I didn't know it was you. I'm Amber Lee, but you can call me Amber. I'm really glad to be able to meet you. I was really inspired by your voice, songs and even your ambition to become CEO of one of the most famous companies here in Korea." I blabbered on excitedly and Baekhyun just smiled.
