Springcision

Chapter 7 - END

When he reached the fence of the house, Yeolli was surprised to see appa waiting for him. Then appa asked him if he was fine and how he feels now. Yeolli replies that he is fine. Yeolli told to appa that he really likes music. He asked appa if eomma would be angry if he really chooses music as a major in University. Appa just smiled, your eomma will understand that later. Suddenly, appa told Yeolli that he used to play many musical instruments. Now, Yeolli knows where his talent comes from.

[The next morning]

This morning Yeolli woke up to the sound of the alarm that had sounded several times. He rushed to take a shower, have breakfast, and go to school. But he didn't see eomma this morning. Appa said that eomma was going to the market. On the way to school, Yeolli opens his smartphone and looks at the competition date. He really hopes to win that competition.

Yeolli POV

Several days passed, today is the day of the competition. From the stage, I could see eomma, appa, eriya, and my other friends. I'm so excited. I'll prove that I can and music isn't that bad. I promised with eomma yesterday. If I win, I'll go to the music department at university later. But if I lose, I'll follow everything that eomma says. When I started beating the drums, everyone shouted with enthusiasm. I can say that the performance of my team is most-awaited and received a lot of cheers. I am very confident right now, as well as my team. When it was finished, I could hear applause echoing throughout this room. I am very proud of myself and my team. After getting off the stage, I immediately went to follow eomma, appa, and Eriya's place. There appa smiled and said that I played very well. Meanwhile, eomma asked me why many girls shout my name. I just laughed. Eriya saw me and smiled and congratulated me. She said that it was the best performance since the start of the competition earlier. He is sure that my team will win this competition. I'm glad to hear that.

[2 hours later]

All competition participants were told to gather. Then one of the judges went up on stage. The jury mentioned that there were 3 winners. The 3rd winner is SHS Banpo. The 2nd winner is SHS Hanlim. When the judges were about to name the first winner, Yeolli's heart was beating very fast. This competition is not just about winning or not. But about the path of life, he will walk in the future. The first winner is SHS SOPA. Congratulations to the 3 bands. This was followed by the sound of everyone's clapping. Yeolli who heard that felt that his legs were trembling very much. In the beginning, he was even very sure that his team would win. This meant he had to give up on his dream. Now he must follow Eomma's wishes. Appa who saw Yeolli immediately hugged him, and so did Eomma. Eriya can only see Yeolli. He even felt guilty about the words he said earlier.

Yeolli walked out with Eomma and Appa. Eriya walked behind the three of them. When exiting the building, a 28-year-old boy called Yeolli's name. He introduced himself while holding out a pink business card. On the name card, Kim Han Jun's name is written under the word Casting and Audition Team. And at the top of the business card, there is written "SM.Entertainment". Who doesn't know that agency? Yeolli was shocked. Kim HanJun said that he saw talent in Yeolli. If Yeolli agreed, he told Yeolli to come to the Agency to sign a contract and bring the name card so he could enter the agency.

Yeolli who heard that made the corners of his lips lifted and immediately hugged Eomma and Appa. This is completely unexpected. Eriya who saw everything from behind was very proud of Yeolli. Eriya thought that Yeolli deserved the offer.

Then suddenly Baek came and ran towards Yeolli. Baek said, "We will debut under SM Entertainment," Baek shouted very happily.

Yeolli didn't come home with Eomma and Appa with the excuse that there was something he wanted to discuss with his friends. After his parents left, Yeolli immediately approached Eriya and hugged her. Yeolli is very grateful to have a friend like Eriya. No this is not just a friend, but a friend. Yeolli invites Eriya to sit on the roadside chair. At that time the sky was golden yellow. From the chair, you can see a view of the city of Seoul and the Namsan tower. Suddenly Yeolli spoke,

"I'm very grateful to you. If I hadn't met you, maybe now I've given up on this," Yeolli said while turning to Eriya.

"Haha, it's not because of me, it's because you are talented and deserve it," Eriya replied with a smile.

"Today, April 8, 2016, in the spring season. I am Park Yeolli, I promise to follow my heart. I promise to be a child that can be proud of my parents. Today, I decided to join the agency. All these cherry blossoms and Eriya will be a witness to the journey of my life. "
