Shae runs to Clay, who is waiting for her in front of the audition building. Because of his excitement about showing Clay the golden ticket, Shae accidentally collides with the other audition participants and they both fall.
"Oh, I'm sorry?" said Shae felt guilty while holding his arm that hurt from hitting the floor.
"What hell! If you go look around dong!" angry people who hit Shae do not accept.
At first the two of them had not looked at each other but after they both saw each other's faces, how shocked Shae was when it turned out that the person who was hit by him was Mila.
"Mila's? What are you doing here?"
"Gue wants to audition! What the hell are you doing here? Want to audition too? Hahaha, free! Your good voice is not enough, because the judges must have seen the ones worthy of getting away with it from both sides. The vocal side and the visual side, you understand?" mila said as she squinted one of her eyes.
Shae smiled back at Mila by showing her the golden ticket she got in front of Mila's face.
"Do you know what this is?" shae asked as she moved the golden ticket up and down in front of Mila."No way!" mila replied in disbelief.
"Because I got this so automatically I will immediately perform on the main stage of IMPC Academy live on KM-TV. Then I want to go back, Mil? Once again I'm sorry about the incident just now, I didn't mean it." said Shae with a slightly irritated look on his face to Mila.
Then Shae stood up and immediately rushed away leaving her cruel ex-best friend.
"Damn! He got a golden ticket? Hopefully I can get a golden ticket too. I don't want him to be one step ahead of me!" please Mila while standing up and then stepping back into the audition room.
Clay is still faithfully waiting for Shae to finish auditioning. In his hand Clay holds two boba glasses for him and also for Shae. Seeing Shae coming in a state of sumringah was obviously a good sign.
"Clay?" shae cheerful.
"What tomato?"
"You call me a tomato! Please don't talk about it first. We'll discuss this." said Shae while showing off the golden ticket he got while circling around Clay.
"Well, congratulations! I'm proud to see you get that golden ticket. Know what I said! Trying is better than never trying at all. The result is what the latter business is."
"You're right Clay. You can always make me happy. You're the best friend I've ever known, Clay." Shae said as he stared softly at Clay for a short time.
Clay was swept away in the sight of the girl in front of him.
"Yes the same." Clay replied briefly and replied to Shae's gaze with a gentle look as well.
Feeling exaggerated in looking at Clay's face, Shae immediately lowered his head then looked at the two sweet boba glasses Clay was holding.
"That's why you want to drink two cups of boba at once? Watch out if you can get diabetes later, hehe." said Shae resuscitated Clay who was like a daydream when looking at him.
"Thank you Clay?"
1 Month Passed...
Shae begins to enter the quarantine period of the contestants. Shae now lives in quarantine in a large building close to the big studio that will host the IMPC Academy competency from start to finish. Another week the competition was about to start and would enter the preliminary round of elimination of participants.
In total there are 30 best participants who will compete for the next three months for the IMPC Academy title in 2022. Shae and the other 29 contestants were lined up inside the hall. In front of them was a vocal coach who was standing firmly watching all the 2022 IMPC Academy contestants.
The vocal coach was a short-haired woman named Dinda. She is 40 years old and Dinda is a famous vocal coach who has been used to train professional singers in processing their vocals. Coach Dinda will also explain what rules must be obeyed by all contestants during the competition.
"Good morning everyone!" greet coach Dinda in a loud voice and quite surprised some of the contestants who lined up.
Shae stood at the very back of the line. Shae felt a bit tense because the vocal coach seemed to be a fierce person.
"Good morning also coach." said all the contestants with a compact.
"What you need to note while being a good contestant is that you have to be disciplined to the rules set in this hostel. If any of you dare to violate the rules, then the organizers will not hesitate to remove you from the list of 2022 IMPC Academy contestants, understand!" tell coach Dinda from up ahead.
"Understand, coach!" tell all the contestants who lined up neatly.
"What are the rules of the coach?!" ask one of the contestants named Yudi loudly.
Yudi is a kribo-haired contestant who represents the province of East Java in this singing competition. Her voice was no less good than Shae's. It could be that Yudi is one of Shae's toughest rivals in this competition.
"The rule is that every 4 am you have to wake up. Sports five times a week. Be honest and full of politeness. Mobile phone play is only allowed for one hour per day. In addition, you will spend time practicing and practicing. There's no alcohol, no cigarette smoke, no girlfriends in this place, all right?" long-talk coach Dinda lays out all the rules that must be obeyed.
"Understand, coach!" back to all contestants with a compact.
"Me too and my partner Bimbo will be training your vocals. It is the biggest pop music competition. You're all our best choices this year. Don't waste the opportunity you have! Do your best in every performance." continued coach Dinda said seriously to all contestants.
Shae muses over the advice of the coach Dinda. Shae wants to always show his best and losing a win is a matter of late. After that all the contestants will do morning gymnastics in this dorm hall.
Shae did morning gymnastics excitedly and finished doing gymnastics, all the contestants would take turns showering the morning waiting for their turn after the others had finished the bath. But in the waiting room, Shae saw there was Mila sitting while playing mobile phone.
"Huh, is there Mila too? He passed the audition and now he's one of my rivals?" inner Shae wondered.
Shae is shocked to discover that Mila passed the audition. Mila glanced at Shae who was sitting far ahead of her. Then, Mila gave a sly smile to Shae.
Seriate...
