I can't hamper myself from being restless. Today, is my audition for a modeling cloth. Jin is with me of course to support, yet what makes me feel real stirred was Suga.
He had messaged me last night before I went to sleep that he would come, yet still, he's not here. Does he change his mind? Or something bad came up? I am going crazy about if he will show up or not.
I tap on my phone a message for him asking where is he and if he still would come. After few minutes he replied.
"Sorry, I can't go there. I went to the Min Enterprises Company (MEC). Anyway, can you come with me later? After your audition? I have appointment with a specialist."
My feeling was stuck in between. I am sad cause he can't keep his words and happy because he is finally going to do something for himself.
"Ashley Robertson, please get in the audition room, now. "

I can't rest myself while I waited for my secretary that my Grandma appointed for me.
My office is very simple just like what I've requested. Well, for me. Less furnitures, less need to clean.
Anyway about my resignation being an author is not a success. My boss did not let me left his publishing company. Yet he gave me special treatment. He would let me update slower since he knew that I would become more busy and also today they have released my new book and I heard that it's a success. The problem now is he is asking me again for the book signing.
I sigh of relief as I started to type on my keyboard. It's my first day here at the office as training. They included me at the management office, and no one knows that I am Min Suga the future owner of this Company. My office is very quiet. This kind of peaceful feeling is urging me to write.
Another plot for my next story is disturbing me.
"Tomorrow,"
Great title for my next story. I am fond of writing romantic novels yet I have no experience. What is love really? Why is love make someone do stupid decisions in life? Why love can make you cry and laugh at the same time? And why do we need love when being alone is much better, no pain.
I was in the middle of my thoughts when I heard a soft knock on the door. The stranger did not waited for me to say if he could come in. Instead, he went in and walk closer to my table proudly. He is a tall guy with slim figure. His smile can give good vibes to the viewer but it's just I don't give a shit about it.
"Good morning Mr. Min. I am Mr. Jung Jhope, your secretary and trainer."
I nodded my head and stood up. He stretched his hand to me and I just look at it. Didn't the lawyer told him that I am not fond of physical contact?
"I know you don't like it, but you need to try. You're in a world where hand shakes could tell everything."
"Don't worry, I am working with my personal issue but I won't do it now with you. Get down your hands then get started to brief me."
Jhope smiled huge and sat down on the seat at front of my office table. He started to explain everything to me from the meaning of my position up to the field of my work. I tried to jot down on my laptop for my review until he got done or tired I guess since all I did was nodded and said not a thing.
"That's all for now Mr. Min. We still have tomorrow and besides you came here to familiarize the place. I will give you the very basic work tomorrow for a start."
Right, Tomorrow really is a good title for my new book. Yes, the book invaded my thoughts. I wished I had understood a thing form his lecture but NO.
"You can go for now Mr. Min and come back again tomorrow, same time."
I nodded again but him calling me Mr. Min is bothering me. How could I successfully hide my true identity if he's keep calling me that way?
"Mr. Jung. You are great and nice but doesn't the lawyer told you that I want to keep my identity a secret?"
"I know, but what will I call you? We cannot change your name since you'll be wearing an I.D, let them know who you are. Let yourself see how they will treat you and nevermind if you started at lower position. You're still learning anyway."
He has a point. What's the essence of hiding? It's not like I'm in some kind of drama hiding my identity then reveal it at the end and down the Villains.
"Okay. If we're done, can I go home then? I have an appointment after lunch."
"Yeah. Anyway, thanks for your time Mr. Min. See you tomorrow."
Jhope stood up quick and walk away from me when this question escape my mouth as I stare at the screen of my laptop.
"Is TOMORROW a catchy title for a book?"
"Guess, yes. But it has broad definition still, the title sounds hopeful and bright."
I look up to him to see his smiling face. He walk away from me and went out the room. I look straight again at my laptop and read what I have wrote down.
Under the mist of the cold night gazing at the cloudy night sky trying my best to see even one star. The cold wind touches my skin that resulted me to shiver and have goose bumps. Yet, I don't care. I need to see a star. I need to see one so I can breath out all my sadness, all the tragic events I had today, all the pain I felt when I saw her tag along with a guy, a guy who has everything. My heart cannot take in all the pain anymore. Besides, it was weak just like me. So fragile, that I wouldn't feel if I suddenly cross this road and let one car hit me and killed me in one snap.
"Looking for a star?"
I heard a sweet voice of a girl spoke beside me. She's looking up the sky like me and her nose is reddish also her cheeks because of the cold. I gaze at her face for some moment and I jolt when she turn to me suddenly.
"The stars are behind those dim clouds. It means they are having a tough time too or busy I guess. You don't need to see one to breath out your pain. They will listen and tomorrow they'll come back to answer your grief by showing you how bright they are though they're surrounded with darkness."
"Do you talk to them too?"
She look up again at the star and curve a smile on her small face.
"Yes, and I have one special star that I always talk to."
"Who?"
I finally look up again at the sky. I shouldn't be talking to her since she is a stranger but I felt so comfortable talking to her. We also have similarity, she too love stars.
"My mom."
My smile faded as I heard her answer. I down my head and look at her. She stretch her hand and pointed at the sky.
"I got a fail at my exam earlier. I guess my mom was sad that's why no stars tonight. The brightest one was my mom and some day tomorrow I will be a star too, a bright star next to her."
She get down her hand and look at me.She smiled sweetly. How come she can smile that sweet? She failed an exam and can't see a star tonight yet she look happy.
"You can also talk to her. She's a great listener."
I smiled after I read my prologue. I guess I should continue it at home then send it to my boss later. I shut down my laptop after I save the file. I took a phone from my pocket and type a message.
"Are you done with the audition? I'll fetch you."
To: Ashley.
