Music Recommendation:I Believe,Younha
Mi Yeon's family was very loaded,Her dad is a well known neurosurgeon and her mother is a chef.Popular across the continent.I was discharged from the hospital two days ago."mom" made me stay a week more even though I was already fine. She is so nice.Would she and Mi Yeon's dad still be nice to me if they know I am not Mi Yeon's soul?
Mom was preparing dinner.They were so warm.I know they thought I was their daughter,but it still felt warm nonetheless.It seems I wasn't destined to receive family love unless I transmigrated into another's body.I sat in the spacious living room watching a TV show when someone rang the doorbell.A maid ran to get it.I was munching away at the gimbap and egg rolls "mom" made for me. "Mi Yeon!" Someone shouted.I glanced in the direction of the voice only to be hypnotized.Standing before me with a few meters distance was my highschool crush and first love Kim Min seok.He took long strides forward and drew me in a hug.I froze still.He pulled away and touched my body to make sure I was really standing in front of him.His felt the back of my head the one that got injured mostly from Mi Yeon's attempted suicide.
"Are you really okay? When mom and dad told me I couldn't believe it! I finished my business trip early and rushed back here.Sorry I didn't come the day you got discharged." He pulled me again into a hug.My hands went to his broad back and hugged him as well.
I could hear the sound of my heartbeat echoing in my head.Was I still in love with him? Despite what he and my stepsister did to me? At that moment mom came into the living room.
"Min seok!!!" She screamed and came to join us. Dad came back half an hour later and we sat at the dinning enjoying "mom's" delicacies.Her cooking was so delicious.Now I understood why she was called the nation's chef.I couldn't fully enjoy the meal as hurt weighed on me like a milestone.I glanced at Min seok.Remembering everything that happened between me,him and my stepsister in highschool.I tried to shake it off as much as I could.No,I didn't want to remember.I scooped some rice into my spoon and shoved it into my mouth continuously until my bowl was empty."Mom" quickly gave me another serving.All of them happy that I was fully back to normal.I guess the actual Mi Yeon was a foodie.I kept distracting myself with food until "dad" said something that made me halt.
"What? Why?" I slammed my spoon on the table.
"Training as an idol is not for you.Apply as an intern to your brother's company" He spoke with a finality that gave no room for argument or compromise.But I did not acknowledge it.
"Appa! (Dad) becoming an idol is my dream,you can't take it away from me!"
"Mi Yeon, your dad is right." Mom chirped in dad's favor then Min seok too.They all agreed on it.
"Ani choetdiro! (No,never!)" I firmly disagreed.Mi Yeon isn't the only reason.I also wanted to give it a try.My all to be exact!
"We let you chase that dream only for you to attempt taking your own life out of depression.SJ already announced the lineup for their new girl group and you are not in it.That is a sign that you are not meant to be an idol." Dad strongly informed.
"I can go to another agency." I wasn't prepared to back down. "There are a lot of other agencies I can debut in.Starplus,Creek Entertainment and Ap--"
"You failed in all of them.SJ was the last resort.Do you know what I did to make them accept you?" Dad interjected. "Mi Yeon,just forget about all this useless idol stuff and come to my company tomorrow.We all know how badly you want to be an idol....but you don't have the talent.You are only going to embarrass our family." Min seok spoke and something in me flipped like a switch.I focused my gaze on him."I know you would say that! You've never supported me!"
"What are you talking about sis ?I have always loved and supported you even though you were bad at everything you always did" he replied.
I myself did not understand why I was bringing up my past life into this.Min seok would never comprehend.How could I possibly bring myself to say it? That I was a different soul residing in their daughter and sister's body?
Blinking my eyes repeatedly to keep back tears that threatened to fall.I breathe out and said calmly "Please give me one last chance.If it doesn't work out this time I'll give up and do something else." Mom and dad sighed. "Two years at most is all am asking.I am still young.I will be 24 by then.I still have time" I pleaded. "Mi Yeonna..." Min seok started and I cut him off. "If you're going to tell me that I am talentless and would not make it,it is better you don't say anything." He also sighed and reclined on his chair.Tugging at his tie like he was feeling suffocated. "Omma,Appa jebal..." (Mom,dad please).
"What company will you go into now? The rest are underdog compared to SJ entertainment!" Dad said exasperatedly.
"Yobo(honey) does this mean you are permitting her?" Mom asked. "Look at her eyes! They are shining with passion.She would still go ahead even if I say no."
"Mi Yeon na.....As your parents,it would be atrocious of us to stop you from chasing your dream.If you really really want to become an idol......make it work this time"
Huh? I couldn't believe my ears.They conceded! Min seok spoke "If you haven't done your best before,do it now." I rushed to hug mom and dad then min seok.I haven't known them for long but I can already see that they are the best.This is how a family is supposed to be.That moment was one of the few that I felt happy.I knew I was going to make many more happy memories with this people.
It was selfish but, I was thankful for whatever deity responsible for me transmigrating into Kim mi Yeon's body.
