"We'd like you on our new project," Lee Soo Man says, and slides a contract across to Sungmin.
"Take a look over that." Here, he nods at the stapled papers. "Ask me anything that confuses me, ask your parents, celebrate. Congratulations, you're about to be a star."
Sungmin swallows carefully, not how sure he wants to take the chance. If it's really him that can do it, shine like a star and take centre stage.
The contract's simple; terms that he expected anyway when he chose to come back for that audition. Being careful when going out, telling the company where he is at all times, how the profits are split...
Maybe, just maybe, he'll be noticed. Twelve people? One-to-twelve? he's willing to take those chances in this short lifetime.
He notes down the tags, takes the offered pen, and signs on the line. They share a handshake, and he lets out a breath.
It feels good to breathe.
