I hope you take this into consideration.
It's okay if you don't have a dream.
It's okay if you're not good at studying.
What you have is worth it.
"You made at least one of me do that."
"So sing it so everyone can relate, because you can do it."

- "Yoon Seo-young, if you pass, I'll treat you to a full course meal at Shinjeon and Sulbing."
- "Okay, if you fall, shoot a full course as a consolation."
On the day of the audition, I woke up early, thoroughly relaxed my sore throat, and headed outside. I was now on the bus to the audition venue. After a phone call with Lee Ji-eun, who was trying to ease my nerves, I turned my head out the window, feeling refreshed and light.
You can't lose, you can win. His words, which came as comfort yesterday,It's giving me strength now.Even if I don't give it any special meaning, the words themselves have a lot of meaning to me.
The more I thought about it, the more I laughed. Was it because someone who liked my voice was praising it? Was it because it was the first time I'd heard such praise? Was it because there was sincerity in those words?
Of course, what do you think?My true side is supporting me.

Outside the audition venue, in a waiting room where all the applicants were gathered, some were practicing with earphones on, focused solely on themselves, while others sat quietly, seemingly aware of the situation, doing nothing.
"Next, number 93, Yoon Seo-young, please come in."
The moment has finally arrived. I've seen this audition dozens of times, but this moment is truly nerve-wracking.I was worried that I might make a mistake or forget the lyrics.
"hello."
But the moment I sing, this place becomes my world. My emotions will be transferred to those before me.My lyrics and my voice will touch people's hearts.
"Please play a song."
So let's sing it in a way that everyone can relate to.
Because I can do it well enough.

Outside the bustling radio booth. The 12 o'clock broadcast is ending, and the 2 o'clock broadcast is about to begin. After a long talk, the DJ, who had been resting his voice during the commercial break, puts his earphones back on as soon as the commercial ends.
"Yoon Seo-young's Gayo Plaza, I was DJ Yoon Seo-young."
When the PD outside the booth made a gesture, Seoyoung smiled, cleaned up her seat, and got up to leave the booth.
"Thank you for your hard work." After saying hello, Seoyoung left the radio station and headed straight to the music show's waiting room. Since they were both on the same network, and had a dry rehearsal that morning, Seoyoung was able to go straight into the waiting room and get her makeup done.
"Ms. Yoon Seo-young, we have two teams recording beforehand. Please finish preparing for the title stage quickly."
The staff's hands were busy. If Seoyoung's recording was delayed, the artists who were later in line would also be pushed back, which could disrupt the broadcast.
Seoyoung, who was almost done with her preparations, checked the lyrics again to make sure she hadn't missed anything, and waited for her makeup and setting to be finished, stretching her throat.
Before going backstage, Seoyoung picked up her phone for a moment, checked Ji-eun's message, and smiled as if her tension had eased.
"Really... really."
"Seoyoung, let's go now."
Seoyoung, who had been mulling over Ji-eun's text, turned off her phone at her manager's words and left the waiting room. As always, this moment before going on stage is the most nerve-wracking.
But Seoyoung's expression as she heads to the stage is not nervous, but rather excited and happy.There was a smile full of anticipation.

"Sir, where should I put the design drawings?"
A busy day. The office is filled with the sounds of keyboards and mouses. It's only been a few days since the project for a new electronic device, which will begin production in the second half of this year and be released next year, began.
"Please put that on my desk."
The person answering the employee's question was Seokjin, who was making coffee in the breakroom. As he was about to leave the breakroom with his coffee, his phone vibrated. Seokjin saw a name on the screen, put his cup aside, and answered the call.
- "hello?"
- "Honey! Are you working now?"
The person who called Seokjin was SeokjinHis girlfriend, whom he has been dating for five years since their sophomore year of college.Seokjin seemed to smile when he heard her voice, but then looked at the office staff and answered.
- "Yeah, I just came to get some coffee. Why?"
- "Oh, after I finish today, I'll go to your company."
- "I finished work early today, so I'm home now. Call me when you're done, I'll be there."
- "Okay, it'll be a little after 7 when we finish, so get ready."
"Seokjin, the meeting will start soon."
The employee waiting outside the break room whispered quietly so as not to disturb Seokjin's call. Seokjin nodded, then, as if about to leave the break room, picked up the coffee cup he'd left beside him and headed toward the door.
- "I'll hang up then. See you later."
***
Before starting his last day of work, Seokjin left the office to take a quick break and headed to a nearby cafe. What on earth was making his thoughts so complex and complicated today? Seokjin, who had been walking with his eyes fixed on the ground, finally...
"Ah... I'm sorry."
She bumped into someone coming from the opposite direction. The impact must have been quite hard, as the coffee she was holding fell to the floor, and the lid and cup of the plastic cup fell off, spilling ice and coffee between them.
"Oh, no. It didn't get on your clothes?"
"Yes, on the clothes..."
Seokjin quickly picked up the plastic cup that was spinning in place, and looked up at the woman's face to answer.
Then, before his eyes, he saw not a stranger, but a face he knew, even though it had been a long time. Thinking back, he realized it was a familiar voice, one he had clearly heard somewhere before.
And for sure, she was in the same class as him when he was 19.
"Baek Ha-yeon···?"
"Uh, you..."
I met Hayeon again.
