looking over at her, she vaguely recognizes the woman sitting next to her, but what is more notable is how utterly unexcited she was to be sitting here. “well, they better hurry up.” she crosses, then uncrosses her legs before leaning on her knees and dropping her head. “i - uh, kind of need the work.” whatever she could get these days. a beat passes before she lifts her head, still on the edge of deciding whether she wanted to ask the question that popped into her head. “do you — well, do you think they’re any good?” minji swallows. “you know, the agency.” 

"No," Delancey responded without any hesitation. Or any emotions along with that.

"I mean, sure, they're good at knowing how this business—the entertainment industry—works." She slumped further into her seat. "But other than that, they're just as bad as they come." Delancey laughed bitterly. She stared down at the floor, raking her fingers through her hair. She led her gaze up back to the stranger. "Though what do I know? I have only been with them for less than a year."

“how long have you been waiting?” minji turns to the person next to her, grimacing. “i swear to god it’s been like an hour since i got here.” 

Delancey took a long sip from her Dunkin' Donuts Dunkaccino before finally acknowledging that someone was speaking to her. Behind her sunglasses, she glanced over to the person next to her.

Delancey shrugged and pursed her lips together. "I learned to get used to them wasting my time," She replied in a monotone voice. "Agents have more than one client, even though they try to make you feel like the only little golden star in this whole fucking universe."

“Another day another botox rumour.” Julian mused, his nose crinkling up slightly as he dropped the magazine in his hands onto the table. “Honestly the day my age finally catches up to me I hope they feel bad for all the assumptions. Then again maybe by that point I’ll actually be getting botox.” 

"What's so bad about aging?" She rolled her eyes. "With the amount of people going gaga for daddies and mommies these days, I am pretty sure gray hair and wrinkles are all the rage." Delancey shoved a french fry into her mouth and tilted her head side to side. "There's nothing wrong with silver foxes." She said flatly.

BIOGRAPHY 

Delancey Shepard didn’t know what to expect her future to look like other than somewhere far away from her hometown. At a very young age, she was stuck in the difficult position as the oldest Shepard child. Because of her mom's frequent disappearing acts, Delancey was forced to be the family's caretaker, especially for her younger sister. She handled taking charge when necessary in her household to the best of her abilities as a child. As a result, Delancey quickly grew into a hardworking and quick-witted individual.

By the time Delancey reached her senior year of high school, she saved enough money on her own from part-time jobs and financial aid to be able to go attend a community college. However, the tensions with her mom became too challenging to bear. She had originally planned to major in Education but instead, she dropped out of school and moved out from her mom's house. 

After traveling throughout three West Coast states and quitting five jobs later, she found herself as a STARBUCKS barista in Chino, California at the age of 30 years old. She was practically living in her car and she hadn't heard from her family in years. But she kept pretending that everything was okay.

Then Delancey found out about a national music talent search competition called NEXT LEVEL from her friends. They all agreed to participate in the competition as a joke. She went along with it because she thought it wouldn't hurt to go. Maybe her pride would get wounded on national television, but she'd recover from that. Delancey never considered the possibility of pursuing a career in music or art. It was foolish dreaming. Not something stable and realistic enough for her to obtain. So, when she made it through the first two rounds of auditions, she felt the world she knew to begin to unravel right in front of her.  

 The winner of the competition is expected to be offered a contract with THE REAL. The only issue with this matter was that Delancey never expected to actually win the competition. She entered as a joke, but she started enjoying singing and letting her competitive side get to her with her rival contestants. For once, she didn't consider the outcome of it all. But should she really afford to second guess her prize? It wasn't her fault that she won the many hearts of America with her “Broken Bird” looks.

Delancey signed with THE REAL as an ALTERNATIVE ROCK artist after the competition and released her first album, CURIOSITY, in 2020. She just came back from her first tour and is expected to be working on her next album soon. She is feeling jaded about the lifestyle of the rich and famous already but she is willing to play along to keep the money coming in.
