I finished my homework questions for Economics and chucked it aside. 6:15pm-ish. I religiously check my email inbox once again.

I started to freak when I saw those Korean letters. It didn't matter what they meant, but I knew it could have only been from one sender.

My hope is set alight again. 

Just under 48 hours to go.

I jump from my chair and show the email to mum.

"What's this?" She asked, looking up from her desk.

"The email!" I exclaim, waving and pointing fingers. I'm so excited! Now I'll have to go book my flights for Saturday and look up train times to get to the venue. Ah! And I still have to practice my backup songs more!

"You haven't told Dad about this yet. You'll need to ask him first." Mum said, looking back to her work.

Dad. Over-protective dad.

Now the hard part begins.
