"Kazuo Miki-ssi please wait here" One Sidelp staff said and motioned me to one small conference room.
It's already 8:30 in the morning and I'm waiting for like one hour. Some staff assisting me said that Han Sung Soo Depyonim wants to do the interview and it's a good for our research.
Usually with our past interview with the other Entertainment agencies is that their staffs are the one talking to us for the interview, so this is a good review for us.
"Annyeonghaseyo" Han Sung Soo Depyonim said. I stood up bowed 90 degree
"Annyeonghaseyo Depyonim" I said and smiled a little
"Please take your sit" he said and he sat on the chair opposite to me
We started the interview, I keep on recording from the beginning up to last words that we talked about
"Miki-ssi, we have open audition today. Would you like to audition?" Han Sung Soo Depyonim said while I'm fixing all the papers that we used while doing the interview
"Ne?" I was kinda shocked when he asked me. I mean he's Han Sung Soo
"I have this feeling about you. Why don't you try?" He asked once again, like trying to pursue me
I'm thinking so hard. This is on the spot I don't know if I'll do well but yeah what ever happens, happens.
"I will. This opportunity will come once in a while" I said while chuckling a bit
There's no harm on trying right? I'm not prepared but yeah good luck to me.
"I'll call someone wait" he said. After that I heard some names like Woozi, Minhyun, Bumzu and some other Pledis artist.
I froze for a minute
I regained my composure when Seventeen Woozi entered the conference room with their leader, Choi Seungcheol
I'm doomed, for real
"Sajang-nim wae?" Hoshi sunbaenim asked
"We'll have a special auditionee" Han Depyonim said casually
"Huh? Isn't it too early?" Kyulkung sunbaenim asked
"She's special" he said
I'm afraid of having eye contact with all of them
"Okay. Introduce yourself" Seungcheol sunbaenim said
"Uh. Annyeonghaseyo yeol-ilgob-sal, Kazuo Miki imnida" I said and bowed
They asked me few questions and before Pledis artists entered I filled up a paper containing my name, age, address, if I trained with other entertainment companies and I put that I trained under ZMC, and there has a blank space for the position, I chose dance position since I'm more confident in dancing
"You may start" Bumzu Sunbaenim said
I started singing acapella, my first song is Downpour by I.O.I Sunbaenim

I'm really nervous while singing Downpour because I suddenly remember that Woozi Sunbaenim is the one who wrote this and Kyulkung and Nayoung Sunbaenim, I.O.I members. Downpour was the first song pop in my mind when they asked me to sing so I continue even my knees are trembling
"It's nice. Can you sing english song?" Seungcheol Sunbaenim asked
I nodded "Ne"
All I hear is raindrops
Falling on the rooftop
Oh baby tell me why'd you have to go
Cause this pain I feel
It won't go away...
And today, I'm officially missing you
I thought that from this heartache
I could escape
But I fronted long enough to know
There ain't no way
And today
I'm officially missing you
Ohhh can't nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby says it stays on my mind
And I, I'm officially
I bowed after I sing. Next they asked me to dance to a random songs that will be played and I should do it in freestyle.
The first song played is Flashback by After School Sunbaenim followed by Seventeen Sunabenim Clap, lastly It was a melody like for traditional dances
While dancing I kept looking at Hoshi Sunbaenim and Han Sung Soo depyonim to see their reactions but they remained their blank faces from the beginning to the end.
I bowed after dancing and fixed some strand of hair that is in my face
"Now can you dance while singing?" Minhyun Sunbaenim asked. I nodded and started. The minus one that I prepared while waiting for the artist to arrived a while ago played.

"Kazuo Miki" Han Sung Soo Depyonim said blanked face
I gulped and licked my lower lip "Ne"
He looked at the paper that I filled up earlier and looked at me "Firstly, I want to commend your stable vocals while singing and rapping"
I bowed "Kamsahamnida"
"Good job. It's a standard to start our audition" He said while smiling widely
"Ne. You're so good Miki" Hoshi Sunbaenim
"Latata is hard to sing live. Very good, I'll send your video to Soyeon" Kyulkyung Subaenim said my eyes grew big because of what she said
"Aigoo don't worry, she'll like it" Kyulkyung Sunbaenim said and smiled at me widely
"Kamsahamnida" I said and bowed again
"Isn't it hard to dance with tight jeans?" Woozi Sunbaenim asked
"Aniyo. Gwaenchanayo" I said and smiled at them
"We will contact you for the results. Thank you" Han Sung Soo Depyonim said
"Kamsahamnida" I said again
The interview was done, the audition is also done so I fixed my bag and went to the bathroom to retouch. I'm going to café I'm working now
I bowed to the staffs that I passed by as I go out of the building
"Miki-ya!" Hoshi Sunbaenim called me
"Annyeonghaseyo" I said and bowed. He's with Jeonghan Sunbaenim and Mingyu Sunbaenim
"We heard you auditioned. Good luck" Jeonghan Sunbaenim said and patted my head
"Ne. kamsahamnida" I said and bowed
"Where are you going?" Hoshi Sunbenim asked
"I'm going to the convenience store and to work after" I said
"Work?" Mingyu Sunbaenim
"Ne, I worked part time at a café"
"We will visit that café soon" Hoshi Sunbaenim said
"If you passed the audition, look for us. We will guide you" Jeonghan Sunbaenim and smiled at me. My heart melt my gosh. My carat heart is pounding real fast
"Ne Sunbaenim. Kamsahamnida" I said and bowed at them. I walked fast even my knees are trembling
I bought two strawberry milk so I have something while going to the café
To: Nahyeon (Konkuk University)
I'm done with the interview with Han Sung Soo Depyonim. Gonna send you the voice clip and transcript later after my work. Thank you.
For my today's shift at the café, I am at the cash register and will do some shots also, since Minchan Oppa is not around and Yeonhee Eonni went out for the delivery of the ingredients.
Too tiring, for a day. I'm so exhausted. My 12 hours shift today with really drained my energy. We are just waiting for the last costumers to finish their foods and we're good to go
But I think no
"Annyeonghaseyo" Three guys with black mask and black cap entered the café
Hoo another costumers
I greeted them and asked their orders
"You are beautiful trainee of Pledis and working at a café. Hard working" The tallest guy among those three said
Yeonhee Eonni and I are reparing their orders since they ordered a lot
"Ne?" I asked
"Congratulations Miki-ya" Hoshi Sunbaenim said while removing his black face mask
"Congratulations for what?" I asked. I'm confused
"Geunyang" Mingyu Sunbaenim said and smiled at me
I placed their orders at the counter after we finished preparing it
"Kamsahamnida" I said and bowed "Please come back" I added and smiled at them
Mingyu Sunbaenim and Hoshi Sunbaenim is sniling at me while Jeonghan Sunbaenim patted my head
"See you aroung Miki-ya" and they left
As soon as they left, Yeonhee Eonni squealed and pinched me
"You did not tell you're close with Seventeen?" she said
"Eh? No, I'm not"
"Jeonghan patted your head and they are talking to you. Wah" Yeonhee Eonni said "You are really like Y/N. You two are the same, in many aspects"
"Y/N Eonni?" I asked and she nodded
"It's been a year since Y/N became an SM trainee and when she was introduced as part of SM Rookies she left the café and focused on practicing. So it's like a year with Minchan only. Good thing you came" Yeonhee Eonni said
I know that Y/N Eonni debuted already with Dernier Cri, SM newest girl group. They had this hot chic concept contrast to Y/N Eonni's personality
"She's also close with Stray Kids' members" Yeonhee Eonni said
Stray Kids? Wah it's something high. I'm fan I won't deny it and working in this café is such a blessing. I can see them every day, I can see PYJ artists every day and I can talk to them too. My dream job, joke.
