“Hey Riri.” I saw my friend walked over.
“How’d you find me?” I asked.
“Not hard.” She laughed.
“Some people were wanting signatures from Jaejin oppa.” I sighed, turning down the volume.
“How is he?” she asked.
“He’s been busy…” I answered, “ Hey Mi. Do you think I should ask Umma and Appa if I could join the ent business too?”
“You should! You have a great voice!” she exclaimed.
“Yeah. I will!! Tonight! Thanks Mi!!” I jumped off the swings and ran home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I got home, I screamed.
“JAEJIN OPPA!!” I hugged him.
“Hey Nana. How are you?” Jaejin laughed and hugged back.
“I’m good! Oh! I have something I want to tell all of you!” I calmed down but was still very excited.
“What is it?” Umma asked, setting down the tea.
“I’m going to join the Entertainment world like Jaejin oppa!” I said.
Silence filled the room.
“… You too?” Appa asked.
“Why do you want too? Don’t you love us?” Umma asked.
“Umma. I do love all of you. But. I want to do what Jaejin oppa does! I want to be famous to and make people happy with music!” I exclaimed.
“You had candy today didn’t you?” asked Jaejin.
“No…” I shook my head.
“Jaejin! Back us up!” Umma said.
“Well… Umma. You didn’t want me to join the entertainment world yet, but now. Look. I’m already a known person. I think this will be good experience for Nari.” Jaejin explained.
“But. Then. I don’t have anyone home with me…” said Umma.
“Umma. We live in seoul still. I want to audition for SM entertainment. If I make it. I’ll be living at home still.” I smiled.
“… Fine… Do what you want.” Umma was mad.
“Umma. I want to help you with the house and money needs like Jaejin.” I smiled, “And when you and appa become old. Jaejin and I will have money to buy you a better house! Not in this apartment!”
“… Alright Alright. You can audition. When is the audition?” Umma said.
“Tomorrow.” I smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was sitting on my chair in my room with Jaejin watching tv on the bed.
Even tho Jaejin has moved out and lived in a apartment with his band members, he still always sleeps in my room. We have bunk beds.
I looked up more information on SM entertainments. I wanted to join that one the most.
“Nana. What are you looking at?” asked Jaejin coming over.
“I’m looking at SM entertainment.” I answered.
“You’re going to try for SM? Why not DSP?” Jaejin asked.
“Because I really like SM.” I smiled.
“Haha Alright. Remember, just know what you’re getting yourself into.” Jaejin ruffled my hair and went to the top bunk to sleep.
I was too happy to sleep. It wasn’t until 5 in the morning that I fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Nana. Wake up! You’re going to be late for your audition.” I felt Umma shake me.
Audition. Late?! I jumped out of bed to run and look for something to wear.
“Nana! Just calm down! It’s only 8.” Umma smiled.
“Umma…. What do I wear?” I asked, looking at my closet.
“How about this? It’ll bring out your pretty brown hair.” Umma held up a pair of blue jeans, a halter top with a white sweater.
“Ok.” I nodded, “Kamsahamnida Umma.”
I put on the outfit and looked at my self in the mirror.
“I look too big…” I looked at my self.
I headed down and sat at the dining table as Umma placed one slice of eggs on my plate, just like always.
I picked at my food slowly.
“Nana. What’s wrong?” Umma asked.
“There’s nothing wrong Umma.” I smiled.
“Ne, there is. I’m your Umma and I’m suppose to know. Now tell me. Are you nervous?” asked Umma.
“I am nervous. But I think I’m too big to be apart of the entertainment world. I mean like. Look at some of the people that Jaejin work with. They’re so small and I’m… big like this.” I said.
“You’re not big at all. It’s just the nervousness getting to your head.” Umma smiled.
“Really?” I asked.
“Ne.” I nodded. It probably is just getting to my head.
“What are you sing?” asked Umma.
“Umm… I don’t know…” I just realized that I’ve only slept for three hours, I don’t have an a song to use for auditioning!!
“How about… Haengbok? From HOT.” Umma suggested.
“… Umma… I don’t know that song.” I looked at her.
“Well… How about sing that Reflection song from Mulan?” Umma suggested.
Appa’s family in America sent us a movie. It was interesting. Mulan. It was cute.
“Alright Alright.” I smiled.
“Let’s go. It’s probably going to be a long wait.” Umma said, grabbing her jacket.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the time we got there, there was already a long line.
“Fill in this application and return it to me.” The lady said.
“Kamsahamnida.” I went back to sit with Umma.
“Wow… I can see why you would be nervous.” Umma smiled.
“… Umma… Please don’t scare me anymore then I am scared.” I shook my head and started to fill out the application.

“Umma… I need a picture…” I said.
“Oh! I actually do have one with me.” Umma took out a school picture of me and placed it in the picture box and handed in my application. I was number 6657.
“Umma… We’re going to be here for a long time… Should I rehearse?” I asked umma.
“Yes. You should! I want to live in a new house!” Umma joked.
“Ok ok.” I smiled and started to practice until it was only a few people away until I had to go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Umma… Did you bring water?” I asked, I was getting thirsty.
“No… You shouldn’t have practice so much.” Umma answered, watching the music videos that were being played.
‘Umma… You told me to practice!!’ I cursed in my head as it was my time to go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I went into the audition room and stood in the yellow tape box. What’s this for?? Are they checking out my size? Oh! What if I don’t fit?!
“Number 6657. Your turn.” I heard the judge call me.
“Oh. I’m Lee Nari. Number 6657. I’ll perform Reflections from Mulan.” I said.
“Look at me You may think you see Who I really am But you’ll never know me Every day, is as if I play apart Now I see If I wear a mask I can fool the world But I can not fool My heart” I was great until they cut me off, since time was up.
I was nervous now. I was cut off… that’s a bad sign… isn’t it?
“Ok. This is a Rhythm test. You don’t have to do it.” she played a random song that I didn’t recognize.
I stepped out of my box and just started to dance randomly but made sure that I flowed with the music.
“Good. All but number 6657 can leave.” I heard her call my name. I was about to scream but I kept my self from doing it.
“Lee Nari. You’re part Chinese? Can you sing us a song in chinese for us?” the female judge asked.
“Umm. Sure.” I said, “I’ll sing this Chinese lullaby.”
After two minutes, I stopped to look at the two judges.
“Good. Good. Welcome to” the male judge yawned, “SM entertain” He yawned again, “ment.”
I jumped up and down. I’M GOING TO BE A SINGER!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I went out of the audition room and gave Umma a sad look.
“Aww. They didn’t accept you?” Umma asked, “There goes my house.”
“… they accepted me.” I said.
“Then why.” Umma was confused.
“I wanna surprise Jaejin and Appa! Can we?” I pleaded.
“Ok ok.” Umma smiled and we headed back to the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had splashed water in my eyes to make it look like I was crying. I headed into the house to see Jaejin and Appa talking.
“Nana. You didn’t make it?” Jaejin looked at me.
“It’s ok dear. We still love you.” Appa said.
“B-” Jaejin cut me.
“SM is a hard entertainment to get into.” Jaejin said.
“But. I” I tried to say.
“It’s ok. There’s always next year.” Appa said.
“Will you two just listen?!” Umma screamed, scaring the crap out of all three of us.
“I made it!” I screamed and hugged umma as she laughed at the scared faces of her son and husband.
Jaejin and Appa’s face were surprised.
“Then why are you crying?” Appa asked.
“Cause I made it!” I was happy.
“Let’s go out to eat tonight then! Dinner’s on me!” Jaejin stood up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two years later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was given a MC job. I did MC for little kids. They were so cute.
I also did modeling too. But. Umma was wrong. I was a little too big.
“Nari ah. Are you ready? It’s time to go and work out?” Songsaengnim’s head poking through the door.
“Ne songsaengnim.” I headed down to the work out room.
“Ok. You know TVXQ’s song Balloons?” Songsaengnim asked.
“Ne.” I nodded.
“You’re going to run and sing at the same time.” Songsaengnim told me.
“What! But. That’s. impossible.” I replied.
“You’ll get the hang of it.” Songsaengnim said.
I nodded and got onto the treadmill as Songsaengnim placed it to speed 5 and played the song.
I started to sing and my breathing was uneven.
This was suppose to be a mix of my singing class and working out for a photo shoot tomorrow.
The song ended as Songsaengnim stopped the treadmill and handed me some water.
“Good. Now. Are you ready? We’re going to go at it again.” said Songsaengnim.
Boy. I can’t wait until I debut as a singer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two years later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Songsaengnim. So I would do this right?” I asked, showing him a move that I was working on.
“Yes. That’s right. Now. Soo Man hyung wants to see you. You’d better get going.” Songsaengnim pushed me out of the room.
I nodded and headed up, stopping at the bathroom first to wash my face from the sweat.
From last year. I’ve finally made it to the ‘right’ weight. 43kg. I was a well known model, but not everyone knew that I was still a trainee. I want to become a singer. 4 years. It’s been 4 years since I audition… I hope I still debut soon.
I knocked on SM sunbaenim’s door and headed in when I was called.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Can you sing me a quick song?” He asked.
“Gee by SNSD.” I said the first song that was in my head. “ Maedowateningo namuchunawananungo.” SM cut me.
“Alright. Go into that room and wait.” SM said.
“Ne Sunbaenim.” I bowed and headed into the room he showed me.
