What is happening?

I kept quiet for the rest of the time. I was not wasting my time and energy over this.

I looked over to my phone to see a long message.

'You will be meeting the CEOs, representatives and their mentors/ teachers, who will be your mentors too, at 10 a.m. tomorrow. So I felt it was necessary to prepare you. You have a good reputation so I'm assuming they only want you for more views. You might also have to compose and produce music for them.'

'Okay. You don't need to make them sound like the bad guys, you know?'

'We all know how this industry works. This what anyone would have done.' he explained.

'That's what I'm saying. This is normal now. I don't have a problem with this. You were also planning on making me an idol because of my skills, no?'

Seonbae just kept quiet.

"I just hope this does not interfere with my studies". I am still a student. Being part of the entertainment industry doesn't always mean not caring about your studies at all. I, for a fact, value education a lot.

'Sure, sure. KQE will take care of that.'

I looked out of the window to realise we were only a block away from my building.

'Oh, and congratulations. I am very happy to see that you got selected. I hope to see you win. Work hard'

I was confused.

'But what about you? Don't you want to win?'

'I don't think I can. But you always can and you will. I will always root for you.'

'Thank you Seonbae. I will win for you'. I was touched. Deeply.

"We've reached."

I looked out and indeed we had. I got out of the car.

'Thank you so much for today, Seonbae. I'll see you tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. at KQE?'

'Yup. We'll leave together.'

'Okay. Thank you'

I got home safely. I tossed my bag on the sofa and made my way to the bathroom in my room. I started the hot water and walked out removing my coat. I put that on the bed. I walked towards the entrance and put my shoes inside the cupboard. I took my bag in the bedroom and while walking, took out a clip from it. I needed to tie my hair. It was irritating at times to have long hair. My brother came to my room.

"Are you hungry?" I don't each much in front of people other than family. So, yes, I was humgry. But would I tell him? No!

"You forgot that I had a dinner date?"

"No."

"Then please leave"

"Do you really realise that you're human too? Are you going to keep starving yourself? Why are you so eager to be a model?"

To be honest, I wasn't starving myself. I didn't have time to eat because I eat so slow. But the tiffin boxes I had carried we not fully empty. And to become a model out of all the jobs in the world? I can't even walk on a clear, straight road without losing my balance once.

"Just leave!"

Who knew not eating enough would cause someone so much of discomfort.

The water was hot enough for me and I showered much peacefully that the other days. No 'shower thoughts' troubling at all.

I came out of the room in my gown to see that dinner was ready. I checked my messages. My mother had sent me 2 messages- 'Have you reached home?' + 'Please answer my messages.'

I sent her a 'yes' for both though I was going to do nothing about it. I just don't like opening messages and reading them. I went back inside my room to change into my night suit. I came out to hang my towel and sat down for dinner. I had my phone in my hand as I was going through social media.

"So, how is work?"

"Nice. I need to go to work again tomorrow."

"Mhmm... what time should I wake you up?" he teased me. I get up at 12 p.m. on weekends.

"No. I'll put an alarm. I also need to study as I'll be going to school on Monday."

Okay. I slept for an hour, so I'll be up till 12 doing work in my room. If you need anything feel free to knock."

"Okay. I'm done eating. I'll wash the plates tonight. Before that, I'll just clean my room."

"Sure. I'll be inside. Don't hesitate to disturb me." he reminded as she walked in her room.

As he closed the door, I sighed at myself. I was supposed to be angry.  How could I forgive him?
