Lucy looks at me
"You should audition"
"Yeah," says Joe, "even right now your rap and vocal were lowkey slayyyyyyyyyyying"
I cannot do this. "No, I can't- Umma would never, I- I, I can't do this" I stammer
Two days later
I'm walking arm-in-arm with Lucy and Joe towards the building; THE building where 'The Apprentice' takes place, where me and Joe and Lucy watch people get fired for stupid reason while throwing shade at them.
THIS IS REAL.
I want to run away when I see the line, a few THOUSAND people are lining outside the doors of the building, where three harassed-looking, burly security guards are trying to keep the line orderly. Half of the line is probably Korean, or Japanese decent but I see people of every age, race and gender. I didn't know this many KOREANS lived in London, let alone KOREAN & K-POP STANS.
I would be excited but I'm scared of huge crowds and I'm skipping Spanish tutoring (Our school legit CAN'T teach Spanish competently) When we get into line, we have to wait a whole HOUR before we're inside. When we get to the front office, there's a grumpy old lady who looks like she'll do anything else but this. She gives me a sheet which I have to fill in:
Name: Justin Chan-bin Lee
Name In Korean (If Applicable): Chan-Bin Lee (찬빈)
Age: 15
Date Of Birth (dd/mm/yyyy): 24/07/2007
Gender / Sex: Male / Male
Height (cm) / Weight (kg): 189cm / 46kg
Audition type (Vocals/Dance/Rap/Acting): Vocals and Dancing
Producing audition (Visual & Design/Producing/Managing): N/A
What made you come here: Online YouTube Advert
Contact info (Phone Number/Email): I put my phone and email, but that's none of your business sooooo... 😎😎
After I fill it in I hand it over to the old lady and she gives me a number: 8271. This makes me feel a bit happier, since it's my moms birthday: the 27th of August of 1971.
I take a deep breath and step through the doors.
(Should i combine this chapter with the previous one to make one big chapter? Please comment to let me know)
