I Decided To Become a Perfect Girl

36 – 14 years old (5)

Vocal lessons one week before the end of the month evaluation.

I was being teased today as well.

” Sir Plank, can’t you…Don’t…?”

” Now, Dohee, let’s sing one more time!”

Ah…

” – When i first saw you~ I look and stare so deep in your eyes~ “

.

.

” Oh say love love love – “

As soon as I finished singing, I fell to the floor.

” Heck… I’m dying for real…”

Sensei Kwon gave me water when I collapsed and said.

” Wow, Dohee is so good now!”

” You’re talking about the song, right?”

It sounds like you’re really good at planks.

” Of course. In that sense, shall we take a break and do it one more time?”

From noble mtl dot com.

Ah.

” I can’t do it anymore… Now please rate me… “

The song I just sang was for the evaluation at the end of this month.

” Well, if I call you one more time, I think you’ll know.”

” That’s the third sound…”

” Oh yeah? “

” … “

” Yes, then. First of all, from the teacher’s point of view, the basics seem to be solid now.”

” Oh… “

” But I have to say that the emotional line is lacking.”

” …? How do you sing with emotion in a plank position?”

” Is that so?”

” … “

” Then don’t plank and sing it again.”

” Ah. “

Singing the song again, Teacher Kwon said.

” But I usually feel it, but Dohee still lacks emotional lines.”

I sang it quite loudly.

” Dohee, what is your mbti?”

” Suddenly mbti?”

” Hurry.”

” I’m probably estp.”

” He also had zero empathy.”

” … “

” Go and practice singing with emotional lines.”

” Yep… “

.

.

.

For that reason, I went into the vocal room during private practice time and devoted myself to vocal practice.

Ah, my throat hurts.

I’ve been practicing vocals lately, so my throat feels inflexible.

” Ah eh oh woo.”

” Alas. “

I keep trying to loosen my throat, but the sound doesn’t come out properly.

I can’t help it, I’m going to give up singing today and find the emotional line while reading the lyrics.

I heard that you have to be immersed in the character to understand the emotions…

The main character of the song I will sing this time at the end of the month evaluation is a woman who falls in love with a man at first sight.

Um.

I guess I have zero empathy.

I should go for a walk.

I left the vocal room and knocked on the door of the next vocal room.

– Smart –

Seoyoon unnie, who was inside, opened the door and stuck out her head.

” Why.”

” Hey, how’s your practice going?”

” Of course. First place reservation. “

” It’s a shame. Then why don’t you come out and take a walk to cool your head and digest dinner?”

” Is that so?”

” Yes. “

” Yes, I don’t like it~ “

– Clap –

Seoyoon unnie closed her door and started practicing again.

Ah.

Of course, Wooa must be taking rap lessons right now.

I can’t help it.

She has no choice but to take a walk alone.

I got out of the office and started walking alone.

Because of walking, I need to look at people in order to find an emotional line.

I walked for 10 minutes watching the expressions of passers-by, and there was a familiar face among the passers-by.

It was the same trainee, Daye unnie.

And next to Daye unnie, one of our company’s male trainees, Daye unnie and Kang Woohyun, the same age as her.

I went up to her sister and talked to her.

” What are you doing here, sister?”

Then Daye unnie said with a puzzled expression.

” Huh? Ah… Dohee, you?”

“I’m just taking a walk.”

” Ah, that… I also went out for a walk, but I happened to run into Woohyun and we were going to work together.”

Kang Woo-hyun, who was next to him, also said.

” That’s right, I just ran into him and was on my way back to work.”

Can you believe that?

” Oh, is that so? Then I’ll go for a walk, so see you at work later.”

” Uh… “

Actually, trainees often dated each other.

Good-looking and pretty kids run into each other every day in the same building and exchange greetings.

What’s funny is that the company doesn’t prevent this, but rather encourages male and female trainees to take lessons such as character education and s*x education together in the same classroom so that they can see eye to eye.

They’re probably thinking of weeding them out beforehand, since they’ll still be dating after they debut anyway.

Anyway, I don’t know how long those two can hide.

.

.

.

It was Friday, two days after the month-end evaluation.

After having dinner with Seoyoon and Wooa unni, I said that the leaderboard was out and headed to the choreography practice room.

When I arrived at the choreography practice room, all the other trainees were sitting there looking depressed.

Did everyone have a bad day?

I approached the leaderboard on the wall and looked at it.

And I immediately understood why everyone was depressed.

The evaluation ranking at the end of March.

1. Seoyoon Kim

2. Dohee Lee

3. Naeun Kim

4. Jiuah

5. Xia Han

6. Jiyeon Kim

7. Open dasom

Until yesterday, the number of female trainees was nine.

But there were only 7 names on the leaderboard today.

The unwritten names are Yeonji unnie and Daye unnie.

This time, it meant that two people were released.

Looking at the leaderboard, Seoyoon unnie’s expression hardened like the other trainees, even though she was in first place.

Among the two who were even released, Daye’s sister was Seoyoon’s motive for joining the company, so she couldn’t be happy.

Usually, if she consistently ranks in the lower ranks, she gets kicked out, but since Daye unnie wasn’t in her lower ranks, she must have been discovered dating after all.

Teacher Yerim said as she entered the practice room.

” Guys, get up quickly. I need to practice.”

“”” Yes… “””

The two were released, but the dance lessons started as usual.

About 30 minutes after the lesson started, manager Cho So-young brought the two of them into the practice room.

At least, unlike her calm Yeon-ji sister, Daye’s sister was still shedding tears.

Aww, be careful…

From the standpoint of the company, it was unavoidable to release trainees with even the slightest problem because of spending a lot of money to turn trainees into celebrities.

However, as I have been watching Daye unnie’s efforts for two years from the side, I just feel sorry for her.

Cho So-young Manager sister told us.

” Guys, Daye and Yeonji are quitting as of today… Everyone say goodbye.”

I went up to Daye who was crying and hugged her.

” You worked hard, sister.”

My sister continued to cry in silence.

Whew.

I also approached Yeonji and said goodbye.

After all the trainees said their goodbyes and the two who were released left the practice room, teacher Yerim immediately resumed the dance lesson.

And everyone danced harder than usual.

The next day

After school, I got on the bus to go to work.

While I was listening to music with wireless earphones on, Wooa unnie called me.

” Hello.”

– Hey Dohee, where are you? –

” I’m on my way. I’m on the bus.”

– Ah, yes? Rather, trainees came in today? –

It was now commonplace for trainees to be released and soon to have new members fill the void.

” Uh. So how many are there?”

– Three people! –

” Oh, that’s right.”

– But you know what? Are two of them Japanese? –

” Oh, is that so? “

– What, aren’t you surprised? –

” It’s about time you came. The company said you’d have a global audition since last year.”

– Hing. I thought Dohee would be surprised. –

“I have to get off the bus now. Hang up. “

– Okay~ Take a peek! –

After hanging up the phone with Wooa, I got off at the bus stop near the company.

After getting off at the bus stop and walking up a bit, we arrived at the company.

From noble mtl dot com.

I greeted the lobby staff and went up to the third floor to write down the attendance sheet.

When I went up to the 3rd floor, just as Woo-ah unnie said, there were three people I had never seen before, standing next to team leader Sohyeon.

I approached and said hello.

” Hello.”

Then all three of them looked at me and greeted me in unison.

” Hello!” ” Anyaseo.”

Team manager Sohyeon told me.

” Dohee, we’re going to greet each other in the practice room after a while, so go down and practice.”

” Yes. “

Go down to the basement and most of the trainees are in the practice room.

I said as I entered.

” Hello~ I’m here~”

” Is Dohee here?”

” Hi~ “

” Who hasn’t come yet?”

” Seoyoon.”

I don’t know if it’s just our company, but like the stories on the internet, the fight between the trainees wasn’t serious.

On the contrary, it would be nice if we got along well.

It was just that the trainees hit the wall to stop affection.

Of course, Jiyeon Kim, who glared at me in the midst of this, is an exception.

Still, if you know that if you quarrel with me, you will only lose yourself.

After a while, Seoyoon unnie came into the practice room and the team leader came in.

The team leader said.

” Gather around, guys.”

As everyone stood in front of the team leader, the team leader said.

” As you all know, new trainees came in today.”

The team leader gestured to the new trainees waiting outside the practice room.

” Come in, kids. Introduce yourself.”

I started introducing myself with the shortest child.

” Hello. My name is Ahn Chae-eun and I am 13 years old! Thank you very much!”

I thought I was short for some reason, but finally a kid younger than me came in.

Then Japanese trainees.

” Anna Haseoh. I am Azusa Kawasaki. I am 12 years old. “

” Azusa is 12 years old in Japanese age and 14 years old in Korean age. Azusa, from now on, when you say your age in Korea, you will say it in Korean age “

” Yes. “

” Next, introduce Chiyo.”

” Don’t worry. I’m Chiyo Kinosh*ta. I’m 16 years old in Korean age. Please take good care of me.”

This Japanese speaks well.

” Yes, if all three of you don’t know something, ask the kids.”

“”” Yes. “””

The team leader then told me.

” Raise your hand, Dohee.”

” Yes? “

” Raise your hand. “

I raised my hand as the team leader said.

” If you don’t know how to speak Korean, Azusarang and Chiyo, ask the girl who is raising her hand. Dohee is also good at Japanese.”

“” Yes. “”

Ah.

A nuisance.
