Episode 1

"Should I tell my parents about it?" I thought. I am not sure if they will be happy and congratulate me afterall  I haven't told them about it earlier. It's been three days since I received the email and I still haven't gathered up the courage to tell my parents about it.

Hello, I am Eve, a seventeen years old teenager and I live in my own fantasy world which I don't think is necessarily healthy for me. I am no different from other girls at my age but I have a dream which according to the internet is almost impossible to achieve by a brown girl like me. Yes, I want to survive in that pale world . My only dream is to get inside the shiny , bright kpop world and after much inner conflicts I had given a number of online kpop auditions. It' been like what? Three weeks? Honestly I had no hope of getting selected but the email I received three days ago showed me a new light.  It was written in bold "Congratulations, you have passed round 1. We are looking forward to your round 2 audition. Your ticket to korea will be sent to you via email - SM entertainment".

  Today I am finally going to tell my parents about it , wish me luck *sighs*.

My parents were never the strict , violent types but  the way I stammered while telling them about it made me seem like a criminal. My parents still haven't responded clearly and I am getting more anxious with time.

"Are you sure this is what you want to do?" "Once you choose this as your career option you will not be able to back out" "Why do you want to be a kpop idol? You don't even know korean and you want to be a korean singer?" I faced a long chain of questions but  fortunately enough I was able to convince them that I can do it and I can also be an inspiration.

Sure I convinced them but no one was at ease after I made my announcement afterall I will have to leave my studies here ( I am still in high school) and go abroad to be a trainee with no surety that I will make it as an idol. Also I need to pass my round 2 of audition. But as a matter of fact I will be going to korea for my audition and the rest of my future depends on whether I pass it or no.

We  are on our way to the SM entertainment building to give my audition and I can't help but feel anxious at the unexpected turning of things. I am nervous. I want to pass the audition and start a new life but I am also afraid of the change. I am afraid , I am afraid of how things may turn out , I am afraid that I might need to go home , I am afraid that my dream will only be a truth at night. I can see the tall building now. My  fate lies inside. Yes, I am prepared but again not everyone can survive in this world . It is a real life hunger game and my sole purpose here is to survive and reach the top.
