Chapter 42: ABOUT ROBIN
ROBIN put back his phone in his pocket after reading Haneul's reply. He sighed in relief seeing how the other seemed to not be angry at him for being late. He looked around while waiting for Haneul to arrive.
People passing by glanced at him. Most of them showed curiosity. Which was the most common reaction to him in this country. It's not a bad thing. Since their curiosity mostly stemmed from positive emotions. Still, he would prefer not to be looked at like he was some animal in a zoo.
Some people showed less welcoming reactions, casting judgmental glances that hinted at skepticism or reservation towards him. But he didn't mind. He was a visitor in this country. Demanding for people here to like him was just the height of idiocy.
This kind of situation was common not just in this country, but all over the world. Some people would like you, some would not. If you worried every time someone looked at you the wrong way, you would just lose hair from stress.@@@@
But still, it was nice to have people in a foreign country who would look and treat him normally. Like Haneul and his mother. He was really glad that the first person he tried to befriend was a good guy.
When he decided to go to Korea and join this public audition, he had a lot of worries. Could he adapt? Would he be homesick? Would he make friends? Would he be alright alone in this foreign land? Those questions kept swirling in his mind. But his determination to achieve his dream was much stronger.
This was his one and only chance. He didn't want to fumble it. So, even if he had to fly across the planet alone from France to Korea, he would do it. He even fought with his father just so he could come here.
It's not that his father was totally against it. At least, not to the point of threatening to disinherit him. He was just worried that Robin would be wasting his time doing this. He was practical that way.
Since he was a kid, he had always liked K-POP. It influenced him to take singing and dancing lessons. When he was in middle school, he joined K-pop cover dance groups. That continued on until high school.
Performing had always been very fun for him. He thought it would just end there, but he realized he wanted more. This desire grew stronger every time he watched a K-pop concert.
Robin was very resolute to pursue his dream of becoming a K-pop idol, despite the challenges ahead. He knew it meant going against his father's wishes. But he still wanted to follow his heart. So, when he found out about the audition for this new survival program, he didn't waste time and he signed up.
Thankfully, his stepmother helped him convince his father. She probably felt a bit responsible because she was the one who introduced him to K-pop. With her help, his father agreed to let him go to Korea. But with a catch.
If he failed to debut in this survival program, he had to go home and finish his studies. And no more talk about being a K-pop idol. Robin agreed.
So, this was literally his last chance to pursue this dream.
Hopefully, this dream would not end in a few days.
"Robin hyung!"
A familiar voice called him. He turned around and saw Haneul running in his direction. He smiled and waved at the other.
