178 Audition Complete (2/2)
Noticing that the auditions were over, Gun and Byun Joo Hyuk had already been waiting outside for the girl.
Seeing Gun standing nearby, Yeo Ri's eyes brightened. She immediately ran over to him, calling out, ”Oppa!”
Finally seeing his sister coming out, Gun's expression mirrored hers. ”Yeo Ri-ah!” He opened his arms wide to catch her as she ran into his arm.
”How did you do?” He asked, staring at her. Yeo Ri's were slightly tinted red, he noticed.
Hearing his question, Yeo Ri made a complex face.
Gun creased his eyebrows. There seemed to be something strange with her reaction. 'Could it be...' Gun thought that she probably failed. Of course, he had confidence in his sister, but this was her first time auditioning, so it was not uncommon for her to have failed.
”...”
”It's okay, Yeo Ri-ah. Just think of it as g—”
”—I passed.”
”—ood expe...rience?” Gun, after finally registering her words, did a double take. ”Come again?”
Yeo Ri's face glowed, ”I passed the audition.”
A smile slowly grew on his face. Gun pinched her cheek, ”Wow! That's great, Yeo Ri-ah! You did well; I'm proud of you.”
”Hehe,” Yeo Ri giggled shyly at his praise, smiling like a blooming flower.
”Hey, see you later, Yeo Ri-ah!” Ryeon Jae Ha called out just as she noticed Yeo Ri and the good-looking guy was about to walk away.
Yeo Ri turned her head towards the voice, then politely bowed to her two new acquaintance. ”Yes, please take care of me!”
Both Ryeon Jae Ha and Kim Min Joon waved enthusiastically at the girl, and Yeo Ri reciprocated with similar energy.
When the Lee duo got home, instead of resting, Yeo Ri immediately headed to the study desk and pulled out her stationaries, impatient to start a new letter to Hyuk.
A smile played on her face as she allowed her pen to glide on the crisp pink-tinged paper.
'Dear Hyuk-oppa,
How are you? Still in solitary confinement? I hope not. I heard it's awfully lonely in there. Hang in there, Oppa! It's only five years left (lesser, if only you'd behave).
Oppa, did you know? I went to an audition today, and I passed! It was for a commercial for some drink. It's called VitaQua. I think it's such a tacky name but it was pretty tasty when I sampled it during the audition. Don't tell anyone I said that, okay?! I don't want to lose this job, after all.
Oh, and don't misunderstand, Oppa! Just because I'll be in a commercial, does not mean I'm a celebrity, okay? Don't think too much. I know you will though, hmph.
Anyways, I'm really happy! At least now you can probably see me on TV, hehe.
Watch out for me, okay, Oppa?
With love,
Yeo Ri.'
