Chapter 9 - Results 9 (1)

A week has passed after the auditions.

Oh Min-Hee had gotten the results just two days after giving the audition. She was selected to be a trainee for HBYE Label. After getting the message she first informed her adoptive father about the results. Her adoptive father congratulated her through the phone. He then stated.

"Are you ready. The real thing starts after you join them."

"I was more ready than ever."

"Will discuss about this more at home. Love you dear."

"Same to you."

Then she informed all her instructors which included the dance, vocals and acting.

All the instructors then asked the same kind of questions after congratulating her for passing the auditions.

"You will not be able to continue attending the academy right."

Both Oh Min-Hee and the instructors knew the answer to that statement but still after a moment of silence, Oh Min-Hee replied.

"Yes."

After that the instructors gave her their best wishes and told her to succeed in her endeavor. Oh Min-Hee thanked them profusely for all the support she got and she cancelled the phone politely.

Her adoptive father reached home after an hour when Oh Min-Hee was still doing her homework. She heard the door closing and she went outside of the room to see her adoptive father. Both of them stared at each other for a while but then Oh Min-Cheol extended his hands towards her daughter for a handshake and she she reciprocated with the same action. Then he hugged her with all her might and said.

"You did good work coming this far."

Hearing that, Oh Min-Hee was not able to contain her tears which she was trying to hold for some while any longer. Oh Min-Cheol knew how much hard work this daughter of her has given just to get selected as trainee. Therefore he let her sob in his arms for a while.

When she stopped sobbing, they both sat on a sofa in the living room. Oh Min-Cheol put his hands above her and said in a caring voice.

"This is just the start of the journey, you will have many obstacles to face which will hinder you from ming out the truth. If you need any help while being a trainee, you can always ask me for help. I will always be available."

Then they ate their dinner and went to their respective rooms.

The next day Oh Min-Hee went to school like she always does and sat inside her classroom. When she was just about to sleep and get up when the first period starts, she heard a gossiping about someone familiar who she might meet on a regular basis.

"Did you hear about the girl from next class? She got selected to be a trainee at HBYE Label. Yesterday night she already posted in her Instagram account."

Another student who was doubtful about this situation asked skeptically.

"Firstly, are you sure you heard or in this case saw it right. Secondly, who the hell are you talking about?"

Another student from the side chirped in.

"You know that girl. She is Cha Eun-Sun, the popular girl in our grade. The thing about the post is old new's because today she came with her parents to negotiate about her schooling and someone who was snooping around heard that she got selected to be an idol trainee. So the news about her is true."

"Wow… how do you know all this. The school didn't even start."

"Hehe… I have my ways."

Oh Min-Hee who was listening from the side also learnt that the student name Cha Eun-Sun also got selected to be an idol trainee. When she thought about this, she also had to inform the school about her being an idol trainee and bring her father so that the school could be accommodating to her circumstances.

The school started and the lunch period came. All the students rushed to the cafeteria. Oh Min-Hee went after everyone left the classroom. She leisurely went towards the cafeteria while taking in her surrounding because she knew that she will not be able to enjoy this in the future. She reached the cafeteria almost after five minutes.

At the cafeteria, she could still hear people looking at an area talking about Cha Eun-Sun. Oh Min-Hee also the followed the student's gaze and found Cha Eun-Sun sitting in an area which was crowded by a lot people. They buzzed around her like flies while taking picture and saying that she lucked out. Oh Min-Hee was amazed how she was able to handle that with a polite smile all the time because if it were her , she would would have got irritated a long time ago.

When the lunch break ended all of them headed back to classroom. The school day ended for OH Min-Hee without any hiccups.

Oh Min-Hee would head to the agency today with her father for the further details that entail on being a trainee.
