28 – Twelve years old (complete)

It’s already September.

Before summer vacation, I went to school and work repeatedly, went to the piano competition during summer vacation, went to work at 10:00 in the morning and was dragged around according to the set schedule all day, so time passed quickly before I knew it.

In addition, the open audition for Top East Entertainment, which started in July, was finally announced last week after the third audition two weeks ago.

A total of 5 successful applicants.

Four of them signed a trainee contract and decided to start working at the company today.

” I’m looking forward to who will come~ How old will he be? It must be pretty, right?”

Her older sister, whose hair is a field of flowers, seems to be oblivious to the idea that she is a competitor.

” I’ll be back with the team leader soon. Just be patient.”

” But I’m really excited. It’s been a year and a half since Dohee.”

” In the end, you’re a competitor. Sister, don’t worry.”

” Heh… Dohee is too cold.”

” That’s the reality. This is the first time I’ve been accepted as a trainee.

” Still, I have the confidence to debut with Dohee! These days, teachers only praise me. “

” The people who come in may do better than you.”

” Heh… “

Of course, like my sister and I, her skills improved a lot.

Anyway, since my sister and I were the only trainees, it was almost a one-on-one class, so it was impossible not to improve my skills.

Not long after we talked about the upcoming trainees, team leader Jeong entered the choreography practice room with four young-looking women.

“” Hello. Manager! “”

” Yes, yes. Here are the new trainees who will practice with you in the future. “

Everyone came with makeup on for the first day.

Me and Wooa unnie said hello to the new trainees.

“” Hello~ “”

The team leader talked to the girls standing next to him.

” First of all, let’s introduce ourselves to the newcomers. In order of age, the youngest, Boyeon.”

” Yes! Hello, I am Heo Bo-yeon, 14 years old. Thank you very much!”

She is the youngest among the new trainees and is the same age as Wooa.

Obviously I must be young.

” Okay next.”

” Hello, I’m Kim Seo-yoon, 15 years old. I came from Busan because I wanted to become an idol! I’ll do my best!”

Busan?

Isn’t Busan too far away?

I asked.

” Then how do you commute to work? “

The team leader replied.

“Seo-yoon will live in a dorm for trainees, as the company has arranged for her. In the future, all the children who are far from home will live in a dorm. If you find it difficult to come and go, let me know.”

Well, now that foreign trainees are being selected through global auditions, there must have been accommodations for trainees.

“It’s all over now.”

” Yes! Hello! I’m 15-year-old Handaye. I applied because I wanted to become an idol after watching Pastel Love seniors’ performances. I’ll do my best!”

” Yes. The last one. “

” Hello, this is Naeun Kim. I am 17 years old. Please take good care of me. “

Even though she is a new trainee and she is 17 years old, I can see why this older sister passed her audition.

Lee’s visual is unrivaled compared to those ahead of her.

Of course, the people who introduced themselves before her were also pretty like her trainees, but if that’s from B to C, then this unnie is A.

Ah, of course I am S.

Puhahahaha.

” Okay, let’s introduce ourselves now, Dohee and Woowa.”

” Yes. ” ” Yes! “

” Hello. I’m 12-year-old Lee Do-hee. I’ve been a trainee for a year and a half. Please take good care of me.”

” Hello. I’m 14 years old Jiuah. I’m a 2nd year trainee. I hope we can get along! Thank you! “

My eyes widened after hearing our self-introductions from the new trainees.

He was younger than them, so he probably didn’t know that he had been a trainee for almost two years.

Especially because I’m 12 years old.

” Okay, now that you’ve introduced yourself, let’s talk a little bit and start the lesson when the choreography teacher comes.”

“”” Yep! “””

” When the new trainees have questions, they ask Dohee and Woowa, and Dohee and Woowa tell them well.”

It was only after the team leader left the choreography room that the new trainees began to talk about whether they felt relaxed.

Kim Seo-yoon, who came from Busan, asked me first.

” That… Should I call you senior?”

What do trainees and seniors do?

” It is not necessary for trainees to call each other seniors. It is just in order of age, so feel free to call me Dohee.”

” Oh, is that so? Then I’ll be comfortable?”

” Yes. “

” Wow, I was really surprised when I saw Dohee for the first time. I thought that a kid like this is an idol.”

Seoyoon unnie started to speak the Busan dialect, probably because she was a bit relaxed.

” Ah, thank you. You are pretty too.”

” So you were cast on the street at the age of 11?”

” Oh, yes, that’s right. “

” Awesome.”

Seoyoon sister turned her head and asked her sister too.

” Wooa sunbae-nim… Oh, can I say Woowa, Woowa?”

” Yes, I’m 14 years old, so I’m a year younger than my sister. Please feel free to talk.”

” I see. Wow, are you street casting too? “

” No. I came in after auditioning.”

” Oh, is that so? “

She said that this time she was a Pastel Love fan who was listening quietly. Yes sister asked.

” Shall I speak comfortably? “

” Yes. “

” If you practice here, why don’t you meet Pastel Love sunbaenims as well?”

” Oh yes, I see you often. I can’t come to the company often because I’m busy with a lot of schedules and overseas performances, but when I release an album, come to practice.”

The problem is that every time we run into each other, each member takes turns hugging me, pinching my cheeks, pulling me, saying they are cute, and making me live for at least 30 minutes.

I can’t run away because I’m a senior.

” Really? Then, what about senior X10?”

Heo Bo-yeon, the youngest of the new trainees, said, as if she was interested in talking about celebrities.

” Oh, they often come to practice. “

But X-10 is a man, so when he runs into me, he doesn’t hug me, he just strokes my hair to tell me to cheer up.

” Oh really? I’m a huge fan. I applied for the Top East audition because of the X10 oppas, no, the seniors.”

” Ah, yes. Then, do you have any questions, sister?”

I asked Na-Eun Kim, her older sister, who is the only high school student who quietly listens.

” Yes, not yet. I’ll ask when I do.”

” Yes. “

As I was answering questions, Teacher Moon came in.

” Hi guys~ “

Me and Wooa unnie said hello.

“” Hi Sir~ “”

” So, did Do-hee and Woo-ah have a good weekend?”

“” Yes. “”

Then the teacher said while looking at her new trainees.

“You guys are the newcomers.”

“”” Yes! Hello “””

” So, what are their names?”

The teacher said after hearing the names of the new trainees.

” Yes, my teacher’s name is Mun Ye-rim, and I will take all of my dance training from now on. Now, let’s check my dancing skills first.”

The teacher stood in the center of the front mirror and said.

” Now, guys, I’ll dance first, so just follow me.”

When I first came, he taught me from the basics, considering that I was dancing for the first time, but this time, perhaps because they were auditioned trainees, he must have thought of testing them with choreography.

The teacher started to explain while dancing.

” Now, kick your left leg as if you were passing a ball here and open half a foot.”

” Then raise your hand to make a point, then shoot down once again, pass pass pass with your legs. Do you know what it feels like?”

“”” Yes! “””

” Okay, let’s try Five Six Seven Eight.”

The new trainees started dancing.

And the teacher’s expression hardened as well.

” No, guys, did you audition? You can’t do the basics. Again!”

Seeing the new trainees dancing again, the teacher sighed and pointed at Seoyoon.

” You are Seoyoon from Busan, are you Seoyoon?”

” Yes. “

” Yes, Seoyoon is the least bit better. But the rest of you are dancing or dancing? Even Daye and Boyeon said that you guys got into audition dances?”

“” Yes… “”

” I don’t understand, I can’t even do the basics… Lee Do-hee, Ji-ah.”

“” Yes! “”

My sister and I answered.

” The two of you come out and dance.”

“” Yes! “”

We went forward and danced to the song.

” Did you see? You shouldn’t have to pick up the points and match the texture like these guys. Why do you guys play separately from the top and bottom and your fingertips are soggy?”

The teacher sighed and she said.

” Since it’s the first day of the teacher, I’ll say something harsh. If you guys can’t win, wake up to the idea of debuting. Okay? These guys are younger than you and are better than you.

“”” Yes… “””

Ugh…

Discipline from the first day is scary.

Surely I was treated well from day one.

Heh heh.

After the bloody dance lessons, it’s time for vocal lessons.

From noble mtl dot com.

Luckily, the vocal lessons were individual lessons, so I was able to spend them quietly unlike the dance lessons.

.

.

.

It’s time to finish all the lessons and write in a journal before leaving work.

” Dohee~ “

Wooah unnie ran to me as I was writing in my journal and hugged me again.

” Why, I’m having a hard time. Solve this and tell me.”

” Did you hear Teacher Kwon screaming today?”

” Huh? “

Unnie Wooa After listening to her words, she said that the voice of Teacher Kwon yelling could be heard outside the vocal room.

Sir.

How many of the people who entered today will endure and debut?

New trainees will come in continuously through auditions that will continue to be held in the future, and some of them may be kicked out at the end of the month evaluation.

And I can go out on my own just because it’s hard.

I guess that’s why trainees shouldn’t give each other too much affection.

I should be moderately friendly.
