Two weeks after the end of the year evaluation.
The golden three-day vacation I spent in Delhi was short-lived, and I turned twenty-two as the new year arrived.
After spending my short vacation I came back to Mumbai.
Year 2014.
The entertainment industry has been noisy since the beginning of the new year.
News of a relationship between a famous girl group member and a top star actor covered the entertainment industry news, and on TV, a drama reminiscent of the 90s was attracting attention every day.
Plus the upcoming big event.
What kind of event did you say?
After watching the trailer on YTube, Avi always said, 'Raj brother! An animation that caused a stir with people saying, 'You really have to see this!' was about to be released.
Should I make a reservation?
While checking the show schedule on my smartphone, I closed the window when I heard a notification asking me to log in.
Hey, it's annoying.
Gary or Sunny do it, whatever.
Then, I lifted the padded zipper all the way up.
An alley in Church-Gate where a chilly wind blows.
I entered the Idol Rising Entertainment headquarters at a brisk pace.
It was time to take the stairs to quickly go to the practice room where the heater was installed.
I saw an unfamiliar person standing in front of the elevator.
A woman wearing a black mask and padded jacket.
After pressing the elevator button a few times, she finds a piece of paper that says,
"This is a malfunction, please understand." and she gets annoyed.
"Oh, Now I'm mad!"
She has Loud vocalization.
So that means she is a singer.
"Why does it break down on a day like today?"
The thought of having to carry her luggage up seemed to raise her fever.
A carrier that looks heavy.
"Is their someone who can Help me…?"
"Why today?"
I quietly retreated to the shouting that erupted once again.
I am the weakest member of this company.
As a small citizen, I just quietly passed by as if I were not there.
"Hey."
And a breakout that ends in failure.
"Hey?"
As the black mask went down to the chin, pure white skin was revealed.
She had big eyes and a uniquely pretty face.
And it was also a face I knew.
He was one of the company's senior Bliss members.
"I'm sorry, but can you help me with this?"
"Yes!"
I smiled broadly and nodded.
"Of course I should help."
The basics of social life are to be seen and liked by seniors.
Besides, isn't it just a suitcase?
Thinking I would finish this quickly, I grabbed the handle of the suitcase.
"That thing is very heavy, so be careful-"
"Do not worry. At this level, well...Huh!"
I fell over while carrying my suitcase.
"I told you. It's very heavy."
"I didn't know it would be this bad."
Even though I've been doing 100 push-ups every day and not only that I go to gym daily too but now I'm having trouble with my strength.
It feels like I'm lifting 50kg dumbles.
After trying several times, I finally managed to lift the suitcase, and the other person went up the stairs and held out his hand.
"what?"
"I asked you to help me move it."
"yes. It was like that."
"I meant to take it with you."
It wasn't that I didn't want to hand over the luggage, but I gave up the thought when I saw her height of about 150 cm and her slim limbs.
I thought it would be easier for me to do it alone.
"I'll just carry it, senior. Please just show me the way."
Every time I slowly climbed up, the person who was going up one step at a time, as if playing rock-paper-scissors, looked at my face closely.
"Your face I've never seen before. You're the new trainee, right?"
"Yes."
"I am a senior singer."
I laughed at the sight of the other person exuding seniority with a solemn face.
"Of course you know who I am."
"Of Course."
I know her name too.
"Aren't you Senior Daisy?"
"That's right."
Bliss Daisy smiled in satisfaction.
"You are a great junior."
"Please take care of me…Huh."
"Oh, are you okay?"
"Gwae, it's okay. Senior."
"I don't think it's okay? Your face expression looks like you are about to collapse at any moment."
"… … ."
Rain fell in my heart.
"phew."
Idol Rising, 2nd floor.
As I went deeper past the recording studio where director Jack Reed taught composition every week, I came across another studio.
When we finished transporting there, sweat was running down my armpits and back like rain.
"Thank You For Your Effort."
Daisy holds out a tissue as if to wipe away sweat.
I watched her opening the suitcase while squinting my eyes.
What on earth did I see?
It was so carefully packaged that the box was full of Withania somnifera.
Withania somnifera, popularly known as Ashwagandha is widely considered as the Indian ginseng.
That's why it's heavy
I was taken aback as another item was added to it.
"Do you carry dumbbells around your studio?"
" It's a chair. The chair is high so I can rest my feet. like this."
A short senior singer lifted a dumbbell and placed it under a chair in the studio, then sat down and tapped it with his foot.
"It's the perfect height, right?"
There's something 'ta-da, isn't it great?' I felt like I was doing it, but I was just dazed.
"Senior."
"yes?"
"Have you ever heard of a footrest? It's one of the great inventions of the 21st century."
"… … ."
"Senior?"
She's not listening to me at all.
Daisy, who was humming a song and filling the refrigerator in her studio with red ginseng drinks, filled her arms with several bags and handed them over.
"You worked hard, Here, Drink this."
"Thank you."
As soon as I received the Withania somnifera juice, I drank it right away.
Bitter and healthy taste.
After all, free is best.
I asked while looking around.
"It looks like this is Bliss seniors' studio."
"yes."
I envy her.
I wonder if we can get a studio in the future too.
"Who did the interior design?"
"Who do you think it is?"
I pretended not to know as she asked me expectantly.
"Did you do it?"
"that's right. I did really well, right?"
Zebra cushions on a pink sofa.
If an interior design person saw it, it was an interior that would be changed for free.
"really."
Daisy asked as she closed the refrigerator door.
"I heard a while ago that you are collaborating with singer Lilly Watson?"
"yes."
"There were a lot of rumors going around the company."
"What rumor?"
"The PR team members were chatting for a while about how the new trainee did it right? The team leader said he was going to promote it for free."
The other person showed curiosity.
"How is it going now?"
"I do not know. They said negotiations are in progress with Joshi Entertainment."
Daisy opened her mouth and said, 'Hmm.'
"Well, I hope it goes well."
"Thank you."
With those words, I said goodbye.
"It's time to start lessons, So I will get going."
"Wait."
She stopped me as I was leaving.
Then she opened the wallet she took out of the padding and handed me something.
