Chapter 24 - Meeting with him [2]

Moon Jiwoo nodded her head and answered, "Yes, from a young age, I have been dreaming of becoming an idol. Dancing and singing is something I very much like, and being given this opportunity means a lot to me."

Moon Jiwoo was not used to talking in such a tone on a regular basis, causing for her voice to seem stiff.

Looking at Sookyung's expression, it was either that he has not noticed anything or else he was pretending to be clueless about it. 

Regardless of what it was, she was grateful that he had not made any comments on it or else the atmosphere between the two would turn out more awkward than it already was.

Moon Jiwoo was not the social buŧŧerfly, and the only way she communicated with other people mostly was by ordering them around. This was quite explanatory for why she never had any kind of friends.

"You seem very much enthusiastic over it, Miss Daerin," he voiced out, "That is a good quality. The path to being an idol is difficult. Therefore, you are required to have enough determination to overcome it. Only when you will be able to completely push through it, you will be at the top."

"I understand your words, Mr. Oh Sookyung. Don't worry; I would not be giving up. For my dreams, I am willing to do anything," Jiwoo replied.

Clapping both of his palms together, he vocalised, "That is a good thing, Miss Shin Daerin. However, since you will be moving to Seoul, you will be requiring a huge amount of cash— living expenses and food expense. 

Everything in Seoul is very much expensive, and currently, our agency is unable to provide that needs. It is not that the agency is unwilling to; it is merely that they are too broke to do so. So, I hope that you understand."

Pointing at herself, Jiwoo spoke out, "So, you want me to pay for my expenses?"

Moon Jiwoo was not unfamiliar to the entertainment industry, and she was aware of how the smaller agencies were unable to pay for their trainee's and artist's costs from their own pocket. 

Even though she had not dealt with such a situation in her last life— since her agency was one of the biggest— she understood about it and nodded at him.

The living expenses in Seoul was something Jiwoo was very much familiar with, and if she had to provide for herself, she had no idea on how much part-time jobs she should do.

"Sure, that's alright," she stated, "So, we will be going to Seoul on Thursday?"

She raised one of her eyebrows.

Oh Sookyung nodded his head and said, "The faster we go, it's better for us. Over there in Seoul, the company is already preparing for the debut, and it is going to be quite pressurizing for you as well since you have to debut as well within a short period of time."
