You can, you should, and if you're brave enough, you will.
That is your motto as you navigate the K-pop industry as the first female Caribbean-Korean Idol.
Within days, my album has topped the charts in over 150 countries. I can hardly believe my luck, breaking all the records set by my debut album. I still can't comprehend how popular I am, and I'm so glad people are enjoying the music I make.
I'm in the car, driving to an evening event – I don't actually know what it is, but I'm performing, that's all I know.
As soon as I arrive, I'm whisked into a room to get ready.

Without a second wasted, they push me into a dark room.
"Wh-"
The lights flicker up and...
"SURPRISE!"
The whole room is filled with idols, decorations, cake, and in the centre of it all is PSY running up to give me a hug.
"Congratulations," He smiles. I hug him back, completely confused. "Wh-what's going on?" "It's to celebrate you, obviously! The dress is a gift, and so is the party. Enjoy yourself!"
I smile and do exactly that.

I can hardly believe some of the people attending the party: there's NCT, Twice, Blackpink, and to top it all off, none other that BTS J-Hope.
"Zee!" He smiles, giving me a hug like we've met before. I gladly return it. "It's so good to finally meet you. Kiss Me More was insane by the way." "Th-thank you," I smile. "You have to get me on Vol.2."
I freeze in shock.
"Well, don't look too surprised."
We laugh.
"Better be careful," I grin. "I'll be holding you to that." "And I hope you do," He smiles.
And with that, I head to the dance floor.
