#minjaebe

ever since haein got her second chance at a trainee life, she was determined to make sure she didn't fail once more. that involved being extra focused during lessons and doing everything she could to prove her skills. back at her old company, she was distracted by the glamour and glitz this life could bring her, but that wasn't the case anymore.

this meant she was taking more outside lessons as well. while she knew she wasn't a bad dancer and could show that on stage, she wanted to become a more technical one as well. she's started taking up more diverse lessons here and there, and today, she found herself in a locking class.

if this was two years ago, hell even the cusp of one year ago– yuji would have been foaming at the mouth with jealousy at the mere idea of studio delta auditions. hell, there’s apart of her that’s still a little sour that she was offered a contract switch from lime to sr media and not studio delta. she has grown to like sr media, and all the girls there though. even if she doesn’t know if she still won’t jump on the opportunity to switch if studio delta gave the option to.

at the very least, she can at least live vicariously through minjae, though. that can be enough for her.

“i think you’ll get it,” yuji says, distractedly spinning her spoon into her cup. she tries not to be pessimistic or negative on the subject of auditioning– everyone wants to pass in some way. especially at a company so wanted like studio delta. “they’re usually pretty lenient with the audition videos. it’s the in-person one that you’re going to wanna focus on the most.”

you can record a video, edit it around and practice hundreds of time over to get the perfected image you want. you only have one try to do the in person audition. it’s more daunting, more intimidating. important eyes staring and analyzing, holding back critiques and scribbling down notes. it’s nerve-wracking just picturing it.
