You receive a call from Royal Entertainment: “Hello, Mr. Jung. We’ve been keeping an eye on you since your performance for our contest with KT. We were quite impressed with your photoshoot for The Samsung C&T Fashion Division’s casting process, and we’d like to offer you a contract with Royal Entertainment. Can you visit the office this week?”
he doesn’t expect too much out of the day, really. if anything jaehyun’s got his best pair of jeans on and a good tee to complete his clean cut look. he’s just about ready to head out for a job-interview of sorts ( through a few good contacts jaehyun’s heard about a nice little opening at a high-end japanese restaurant ) after deciding that he’s spent long enough doing nothing. his last shot at the samsung advertisement didn’t go as well as he’d hoped either so he’s decided to give it all a rest and pick up something to do before his father starts bugging at him to help out with his business.
when his phone begins to ring he doesn’t recognize the number and immediately he furrows his brows in confusion. “hello?” he answers, ( he nearly says moshi moshi as a joke but decides against it. his strong point has never been his sense of humour anyway ) and when he hears the voice on the other line immediately he freezes up.
he doesn’t know what to say –– because who would know what to say in a situation like this really. truth be told jaehyun hadn’t thought that he’d even be receiving a call like this and the shock is probably evident in his voice as he replies the speaker on the other line. “oh –– wow. i,” he turns to rest his body against the wall of his bedroom and catches his reflection in the mirror. hadn’t this been what he’d wanted for so long? and now here it was, handed to him. for some reason, the nineteen year old was still in disbelief.
he lets the shock process through his mind and then he smiles, runs a hand through his hair and nods ( even though he knows the lady on the other line can’t see him ). “thank you. that’s –– this is amazing news.” a look at his pants and his shirt and then he laughs softly to himself, happiness overwhelming him. “i could stop by this afternoon. thank you!”
when the conversation ends jaehyun’s left staring at his own reflection, lips still parted with no clue know what to do. a part of him feels like yelling, like pumping his fist in the air but instead he just laughs and slowly opens up the text messaging app.
( txt to : hyung ) sorry!! could you tell your friend that i’ll have to cancel on the job
his fingers hover for a while before he sends the next message.
( txt to : dad ) royal entertainment called me today. they’re offering me a spot as a trainee!
( from : dad ) good job
and that’s about enough for him –– at least for now.
