Freya ran down the stair case of first floor, being careful not to miss any step or trip over. Dae was waiting in his white car right in front of the gate of Leena's apartment building. Fryea came out of the main gate, her tiny quick steps approached Dae's car, she opened the door, bent to look at Dae, greeted him good morning with a soft smile, Dae greeted in return. He opened the door for her as a gentleman should, Freya thanks him and get in the car, as elegantly as she could, hiding her nervousness for interview, and embarrassment for unknown reason, may be she was not happy with Dae giving her a ride as she never liked to depend on anyone.
Dae started driving the car. So.... how are you Freya? I'm... I'm good! How... about you Mr...Dae? Freya asked Dae. Wooooh... Mr.Dae! Oh! C'mon... you can just call me Dae. By the way I'm... alright!
She had a glance at Dae... and her mind started to wander... He isn't less handsome than any k-drama actor. I wonder how Leena's not dating him yet...
She gathered up herself and prepared to ask Dae about the job description. She cleared her thought.... Mmmhm... Aaaa... Dae! where are we going for interview? And can you please give me the job description as well? So... Leena didn't tell you? Dai inquired. No! Mmmm.... actually she came late from work I had already slept.... all she messaged me in the evening was that you have a job interview tomorrow morning.... In fact, I didn't even know that you will be here to pick me. Dae burst out laughing.... that's how Leena is..... carefree but caring!
Dae said this looking at Freya with a big smile. Freya looked at Dae for a second then looked down at her hands, holding her bag... Leena is an amazing soul! A friend you can rely on!
Dae looked at Freya... she was quietly, staring at her hands.... after a small pause he continued.... she talks a lot about you... how desperate you are to find a job! She really wants to see you happy and successful!
Freya nodded quietly. And yeah.... you asked about the job description.... Freya suddenly looked at Dae. Mmmm.... actually it's not a job in fact they need participants for a kind of game show... Game show! Freya repeated Dae's words.... she looked uncomfortable with this information, but I'm not interested in participating in any gameshow, Aaaa... may be you should drop me right here.
Freya was looking at Dae, blinking her eyes rapidly wanting him to stop the car. Dae looked at her with uncertainty, Are you serious? I mean don't freak out! Relax! it's not how you think.... ok! Have you heard of RTS? It's Korean boy band... Yes! I've heard of them, they are quite famous in here or may be I should say internationally, said Freya. Dae smirked, of course internationally, they are world wide famous! Haven't they disbanded? asked Freya. No! they haven't! actually there are five members in this band and they all are obliged to serve the military, in fact three of them have already completed their military services, right now they are doing solo projects but after seven months when the remaining two will also complete their services they're going to reunite.
The management company of RTS hasn't revealed it but the least I can tell you for sure is that this opportunity has some link with RTS.
The company needs some fresher young females preferably who are fluent in English language, with more than average height, attractive personality, physically fit and yes... who have beautiful voice. And I heard you singing at Iseul's birthday party, you have those guts!
After this long description Dae took a deep breath, Huhhhh..... Freya smirked looking at Dae who was parking the car and who just indirectly flattered her.
That day Leena just forced me to sing, in fact that's the only song I can sing melodiously, other wise I'm not good at.... then sing the same song today! Dae said this in a low voice tone looking deep in Freya's eyes.
C'mon! lets go! he said un fastening his seat belt.
The way Dae looked into Freya's eyes, he made her heart pounding, adding a little more nervousness to her feelings. She unfastened the seatbelts and both of them got out of the car, walking towards the building of The Labels Entertainment, Dae entered through the gate but Freya stopped, she raised her head viewing this huge building thinking... who knows after tasting the bitterness of life in form of rejection, dependency, great losses God wants to settle a deal with me, finally.
Dae was walking towards the elevator, suddenly felt Freya's absence, he turned around, looks here and there being worried, on the other second he took a sigh of relief as his desperate sight landed on Freya, walking in Dae's direction with confidence and elegance, ignoring everyone around, flipped back her wavy hair, reaching Dae.
For the first time she captivated Dae, he managed to hide his whipped expressions and said, we'll take the elevator, he started to walk on the right side, and Freya was following him.
They reached the first floor. Dae told her to wait for him, Freya started observing the whereabouts. Her eyes were wandering here and there, she could not see any outsider only staff of the company, as she could easily distinguish between the staff and an outsider as the staff was wearing t-shirt sporting TLE the name of The Labels Entertainment.... How come there's no one else for this opportunity, if it's linked to RTS, they have great fan following, she whispered to herself.
Meanwhile, Dae came back talking to someone on phone. Freya heard him and turned around looking at him curiously. Dae hung his phone up, walking closer to Freya. I'm sorry Freya but as we are half hour early for interview, you have to wait, said Dae. Oh! OK! That's why I can't see anyone else for the interview, Mmmm.... No problem! I'll wait! you can carry on with your work. Yeah! exactly! that's what i wanted to tell you that I have got some outdoor task today, my team is all set to go so.... would you be able to go home yourself, asked Dae scratching his forehead.
Oh! you don't have to worry about me.... I'm good with directions! said Freya.
Wow! That's great! They'll call you on the earliest.... Best of Luck! Dae said this with a hopeful smile, Freya thanked him... Dae was walking away and her eyes kept chasing him until she lost his sight.
Now, Freya decided to go towards the waiting area, which was right in front of her. She settled on a seat on the first row, placed her bag on an empty seat next to her, closed her eyes trying to relax.
Unlike last times she was feeling positivity, In spite of not knowing everything about this opportunity she still wanted to be a part of this company, This place had inspired her.
She saw a young girl walking towards the waiting area, Freya was checking her out as she was pretty appealing in her mini dress, Freya had a glance at herself, jerking her blazer, shook her head to get rid of the feeling of inferior complex.
Meanwhile, a female staff of the company came and called her name. Freya responded with a steady look, It's me! please follow me, staff instructed.
Freya followed the staff to the interview room. She could see three gentlemen, she sat in front of them. After greeting each other. They asked Freya to walk towards the door of the interview room and come back, they were deeply examining her every step. After this her height was measured, her weight was scaled, they clicked few pictures of her. And now, finally she was asked to sit in front of them.
Interviewers were not so fluent in English, they asked Freya if she can dance to which she replied with a smile, I really love to dance but never got a chance to learn. After a few random questions she was asked to sing, in response to that she sang her favourite song.
After her looks her voice also won their hearts! They were inspired by her personality and singing. The interview ended.... it was thirty minutes long. She shook hands with the interviewers and told them that she hopes to see them again.
She took a public transport because she couldn't afford a Taxi as she was running short of money day by day, one of the reason she needed to be employed as soon as possible.
After around one hour travel time, she reached Leena's apartment as she had an spare key of her apartment, that shows the trust between Freya and Leena.
At 3 p.m phone rings right next to Freya sleeping on the bed, grabs the phone hardly opens her eyes to see who's calling.... Mmmmhhh..... Hey Leena! Freya talks in a husky voice.
Didn't I tell you? Today is your day..... Leena sounded extremely happy.
What do you mean? Freya sits rubbing her eyes.
Congratulations! Girl.... you got selected!
Leena's words froze Freya... she was in disbelief as she could not express her happiness so her tears had to roll down to her cheeks, to bring warmth on her face.
