Hey, guys! So, this chapter is a bit shorter, so I might post another one today. I have a lot of it written up already, so I figured might as well. I'm also feeling generous today, so yeah. On to the ff!
We get to the SM Entertainment building around one-thirty, and there is already a line of kids on the first floor. There are around ten people when we get there, and by the time two o'clock rolls around, about sevven others had shown up. A lady comes and unlocks the door, and since only people who are auditing can go in, my mom has to wait for me in the first floor. We all get led into another waiting room where SM idol's music videos are playing on a television. We all get a slip from a woman at the front desk, and since there aren't many pens, I go up there first to get one. I fill out the paper quickly and give the pen to some random person and hand the lady at the front desk my paper. She hands me a sticker with a number on it and I put it on. I go and sit by one of the other people who had already turned in their paper.
"Hey." I say as I sit down.
"Um... hi." He replies.
"What are you auditioning for?" I ask.
"I'm going to audition for singing. You?" He says.
"Same."
"What's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Brie Waters."
"I'm Jason Lee." He says.
"Where did you first audition?" I ask.
"Here. They called me about a week ago and told me to come back. What about you?" Jason asks.
"I auditioned in L.A. where I used to live. After I got the call to come back my mom decided to move back here." I say. We talk for about ten minutes longer. We both get called out in the first group of five to audition. We get lead to yet another room, but this time it's a practice room. There are three judges and someone behind a camera. There are five pieces of tape on the floor and one of the judges tells us to stand on one of them. I stand on the third and Jason stands on the second. We are told that the singers will go first, then actors, then models, and lastly dancers. We have to introduce ourselves and tell them what we are auditing for and then do our act at our time. We only have ten to thirty seconds to sing, so I get ready to sing the chorus of Eyes, Nose, Lips. The first girl goes, and she does very well. She sings Jar of Hearts, and even though it's not in Korean, the Judges look impressed. Then Jason goes. He raps Do You, and I think he did amazing. Now it's my turn. I have butterflies in my stomach and I'm afraid that I'm going to mess up.
"Annyeonghaseyo, my name is Brie Waters. I am sixteen, and will be singing." I take a deep breath and start the song.
"Neoui nun ko ib nal manjideon ne songil jagun sontopkka, da-
Yeojeonhi neol neukkil su itjiman
Kkeojin bulkkotcheoreom tadeureogabeorin uri saragng modu, da-
Neomu apeujiman ijan neol chueogira bureulge." When I look up the judges look very pleased. After the other two finish with their audition, we get lead to another practice room, where I assume we will be rhythm tested. There are three judges in here too, and one camera person. We all go one by one in the order we went before and dance for one minute to music they play. We aren't required to do this, so the other three don't, but Jason and I do. He goes first, and when it's my turn I'm afraid to go because he was so good at free style. I decide to just set my worries aside and get it over with, ready to go home.
After a few seconds of dancing, I become more comfortable. After the music is turned off, the other three are asked again if they want to do the rhythm test, and again they say no, and we are led out of that room. While walking down a long hallway, Jason asks for my number. I out it in his phone and hand it back just as we get to the first floor where my mom waits for me. We start walking home and on the way we get a drink from a lemonade stand.
"How do you think you did?" My mom asks.
"I don't know. The judges seemed impressed after I was done singing, so I think I did well." I reply and take a sip of my lemonade.
"Well, I'm sure you did great. They're bound to love your rapping!" She says.
"Yeah... about that..." I say, remembering that I never told her that I changed the song.
"What?" My mom asks, noticing something's up.
"I decided to do Eyes, Nose, Lips instead. I figured that it would be better than an English song."
"So you didn't rap?" My mom asks.
"No, but they know I can rap, and now that they know I can sing too, it makes me seem more talented... I hope."
"Well, you do have a good singing voice as well... I'm sure they'll still take you." My mom says, and I nod.
When we get home, I take a shower and change into some pj's. I head back to the living room where my mom is sitting on the couch watching some Kdrama.
"Hey, you want to watch with me?" She asks.
"No, I'm really tired from today, I think I'm just going to go to bed. I'll see you in the morning. Good night!" I say.
"Okay, good night Brie!" I head to my room and lie down, but for some reason, I can't sleep. I just lie on my bed, staring st the ceiling fan. For some reason, I'm starting to actually want to get into SM. I mean, I did want to get in before, but after today I feel like I want it more.
What will I do if they don't take me? I really want to get in... that would probably be the best thing to ever happen to me. Maybe, just maybe, I could find my dad if I debut and become an idol... but would I even want him in my life at this point? He decided to leave...
So, that's it for this chapter, I might post another one in an hour or so. I know that I haven't even brought in the guy yet, but trust me, one you get to chapter seven(yes, I have that much written already) I think, you'll love it. (The guy comes in earlier, but chapter seven is where a bunch of drama starts!) So, come back later to see what happens!
