"You are joining the Entertainment Industry?" Ho Min Lin and Song Dei Si asked in unison. "Uhm" said Tan Ja Nin "I have already signed a contract with YH Entertainment. Earlier today, I have my photoshoot taken for my promotional portfolio."
"Why s...o...b..zness? I mean, you know the intrigues and politics in that industry. It"s rampant. You should have a thick-skinned if you really want to survive." Said Ho Min Lin as a matter of factly.
"I know but I always wanted to act in the Silverscreen since I was a kid. I took up film and tv production course in New York so that I would have basic knowledge about this Industry"
"Also, I"ve heard that some of the celebrities before they reached the top, they did something under the table like having some ilicit affairs with the Director or the Entertainment Agency"s big boss for them to land on the lead role. I hope you"re not going to resort on that!" Ho Min Lin added, she was really not fond of Tan Ja Nin joining the Entertainment Industry.
"Ho Min Lin, we both know Tan Ja Nin, she will never do that!" Song Dei Si chimed in.
"I know I am just reminding her that she doesn"t have to be a celebrity to earn big bucks. With their family"s wealth, she can just stay jobless for the rest of her life and won"t be penniless."
"Min Lin, I guess she will not be doing this for the sake of earning big bucks. This is her dream and she has already making steps on achieving it." said Song Dei Si, trying to give moral support to Tan Ja Nin.
"Thanks Dei Si because you can see right through me. Unlike this other friend of ours, who never say any good words and was trying to discourage me." Tan Ja Nin pouted and looked at Ho Min Lin as she raised her brows.
"I"m not discouraging you okay?! I just wanted to open your eyes to any possibility that you may encounter." Said Ho Min Min, trying to depend herself.
"I know but I"m not gonna resort to having an ilicit affair just to get the lead role."
"But what if they offer a s.e.xy role for you, that you need to show some skin on the tv screen, are you going to accept it?" Ho Min Lin curiously asked.
"Let me think of it when I get there!"
"Ja Nin!" Ho Min Lin said furiously.
"Relax my future sister-in-law. I"m not gonna put our family name and drag it into something like that. My dad and my twin brother will kill me"
Ho Min Lin pouted when she heard the word sister-in-law. It was nice to hear it but until now, Tan Ji Nan have not proposed to her, yet!
"Why are you pouting?" Song Dei Si asked.
"Tan Ji Nan hasn"t propose to me yet so it would take time before I became her sister-in-law"
"Don"t rush things. You"ve been with him for just a month now."
"Yeah, I"m pretty sure that my brother has plans of marrying you in the future." Tan Ja Nin second that.
"But when will it be? I can no longer wait, Ji Nan is being so shameless these past few days!" Ho Min Lin said in frustrations.
"What do you mean shameless?" Tan Ja Nin asked.
"He is a gangster, he ripped your dress yesterday! I even felt his anaconda!" Said Ho Min Lin and before she could take back her words, Tan Ja Nin and Song Dei Si already had a big reaction then suddenly burst out laughing!
"So something had happened already between you and him?" Song Dei Si asked. She knew it was something personal but she was curious to know.
"Almost! But I was able to stop him before his anaconda penetrates!" Ho Min Lin said in a no hold-barred statement.
Song Dei Si and Tan Ja Nin laughed histerically again when they"ve heard the word anaconda.
"Wow! I must commend my brother for his self-control!"
Ho Min Lin hissed. "He warned me not to tease him again or else he cannot guarantee if he can control himself next time."
"Then give it to him!" Song Dei Si suggested
Ho Min Lin widened her eyes in disbelief "Song Dei Si!"
"Why? Don"t tell me you don"t feel like doing it too?"
"But how about our chast.i.ty agreement?! You"ve fullfil your promise so I have to fullfil mine."
"What is that chast.i.ty agreement?" Tan Ja Nin asked.
"We made this compact before we became friends with you that we will give our first time to our husband. Song Dei Si gave it to Yan Mor Tee on the night when they registered their marriage, so I should give it to Tan Ji Nan on the night of our wedding too!"
"Oh!" Tan Ja Nin was surprised to know that agreement and found it amusing.
"Since you are now our bestfriend, you should join us on this too. I"m pretty sure you haven"t given your first time to anyone else right? Since you haven"t had any boyfriend yet." Ho Min Lin bluntly asked Tan Ja Nin.
Tan Ja Nin face became pale and felt like the blood has stopped flowing on her system. How could she tell them that she gave her first time to Lee Jin Ho? Of all people. It was Lee Jin Ho! How will they take it?
"Ho Min Lin, if you will feel like you wanted to give your first time to Tan Ji Nan before marriage, I"m not going to be mad at you for not honoring your promise" said Song Dei Si.
"He should wait! Once I said No, it"s a No!" Ho Min Lin said with conviction!
Song Dei Si hissed. "Didn"t you say No to Tan Ji Nan when he courted you in highschool? But what happened? You"ve eaten your own words!"
"I didn"t bluntly say No!"
"But the message was still the same! You despise him before."
"It was because I thought I like Lee Jin Ho before!"
Song Dei Si laughed out loud "Woah, I have almost forgotten that you had a crush on Jin Ho when we were in Gradeshool!"
"Yeah! I stopped the moment I realized that it wasn"t me that he likes, but you!" Said Ho Min Lin then looked at Song Dei Si with annoyance as she continued. "I am really not getting it what does these guys saw in you when we were in Gradeschool You"ve got the attention of the two boys we liked back then."
Song Dei Si shrugged her shoulder.
Tan Ja Nin had remained silent because she doesn"t want to discuss anything about that chast.i.ty agreement again.
....
Meanwhile at the gym.
"Really?! Tan Ja Nin will be joining the Entertainment Industry?" Yan Mor Tee asked while he was dribbling the ball.
"Yes! She already signed a contract with YH Entertainment." Tan Ji Nan answered as he tried to steal the ball from Yan Mor Tee.
"Is this news known to your parents?" Yan Mor Tee took a fade away shot!
Ringless.
Tan Ji Nan and Lee Jin Ho gave up and laid down to the floor. They can never beat Yan Mor Tee in basketball until now since highschool days.
This guy almost excel at everything he does.
"Of course not, if our parents knew about it, they would never agreed to it."
Yan Mor Tee hissed "Tan Ja Nin is looking for trouble."
"She always does! She always took a decision on her own and n.o.body can stop her from doing all that she wants. Remember when she suddenly wanted to go to New Year to continue her schooling back then? Then after she came back from New York, she moved out from the mansion and live on her own!"
"It was because she knew that you doted on her and whatever she wants, you"ll give it to her." Yan Mor Tee took a deep sigh.
"It was because she is plainly hardheaded! She really need someone who can tame her!"
"I"m worried about her. She doesn"t know what battle she is heading to" Yan Mor Tee said.
"Yes, she would need someone who can protect her in the Industry" Tan Ji Nan agreed.
Yan Mor Tee stood up "Her management should protect her then. I"m not familiar with YH Entertainment! Do they handle their artists well? Do they have history of their artists being exploited?" He seriously asked and picked up the ball.
"Let me investigate that matter!" Lee Jin Ho said after his moment of silent. He tried to stand up.
Yan Mor Tee looked at him and extended his right arm and offerred his hand to help him stood up.
"I"ll give it to your care then! Let us know what you have learned" he said.
Lee Jin Ho s.n.a.t.c.hed the ball from Yan Mor Tee"s grip. He dribbled all the way down to the other ring side and made a dunk!
Tan Ji Nan also stood up and joined Yan Mor Tee and Lee Jin Ho for another round again.
