We finally arrive in our van after buying something for our movie night and now on our way home to our dorm.

"Heejin Eonnie, what news do you want to tell us?" asked Giselle,

"Karina, I have bad news for you," said Heejin Eonnie with a cold tone,

"What is it about?" I asked bravely,

"You have made a lot of wrong moves in your previous shows that made our producers very angry," our manager said,

"Heejin Eonnie, it's impossible; she always does our choreography perfectly without any mistakes," said Ning-Ning helping me out from the wrath of our manager, "Ning-Ning, just mind your businesses," said our manager coldly.

"For the other, good job, and please enjoy your free time," said Heejin Eonnie, and We ride home in the situation of an awkward and tense situation.

As I make my move out from the van, our manager caught me and said, "You better stay, Karina, you must go to the company for your explanation to the producer's," said Heejin Eonnie. I take a seat in the van; the other just gave me a reassuring smile.

Heejin Eonnie drives to the company with a silent ride. I caught Heejin Eonnie silently looking at me in the rearview mirror. "Relax, Karina. It just an act," said Heejin Eonnie hold her laugh, wait for... what!? "So, it's not real?" I ask, "Of course not," said Heejin Eonnie while laughing, "How dare you! Hum!" I said

****

I go inside to company alone without Heejin Eonnie. I walk out from the lift and bump into someone; guess who? It Taeyeon Sunbaenim!! Today is my lucky day. She's so beautiful by wearing something casual; I need a fan! Someone help me! I might faint from her gorgeous visual; Relax, Karina, don't forget to take a breath!

[Imagine Taeyeon facing her face up]

"Mianhae, Taeyeon sunbaenim!" I said, the way she looks at me, boiii, so cute, so pretty!! Come on, focus, don't fangirl at this moment! "No, it's okay! Are you the new girl group that debuted with Black Mamba?" said Taeyeon sunbaenim,

"Yeah, that's we are," I said,

"Where are you heading? Mine is the meeting room," said Taeyeon sunbaenim. Is this my lucky day?

"Oh, we have the same direction," I said,

"That's great, let go together," said Taeyeon sunbaenim,

"Karina, you can call me Eonnie. I feel old when you call me sunbaenim," said Taeyeon Eonnie,

"Okay, Taeyeon Eonnie," I said.

Is it normal if I act like this? I mean, who is not fangirling while herself meeting her bias? *mentally screams* I'll brave myself to tell that she's my bias, "Uh Taeyeon Eonnie, actually you're my bias," I said bravely, "I know," she said, "W-wait how?" I ask, "Just guess how you look at me," she said with her gorgeous smile, so bright.

We little bit near to the meeting room. I'll pass my goodbye to Taeyeon Eonnie, but, "Karina, right? can I have your phone number? we can hang out sometimes," ask Taeyeon Eonnie,

"Sure, I'd love to," I said with my best smile *not a creepy smile*,

"I can't hold it again!" said Taeyeon Eonnie with a loud voice. It freaked me out; is she angry? Did I make her uncomfortable?

"Can you be my younger sister? I wanted one since I'm the youngest in my family," she said,

"No problem, I think you feel uncomfortable with me," I said,

"No, I'm 200% comfortable with you, Karina. I guess this is the way to the meeting room. I'll see you next time, dongsaeng," said Taeyeon Eonnie,

"Okay, it's nice to meet you, Taeyeon Eonnie," I said.

I enter the meeting room and see there are 4; people discussing something, "Hello? Producer Eonnie, you called me?" I said; they just nodded at me and signed me to sit. They start talking, and it makes me shocked and happy at the same time.

"Really? A trip? We just debuted last year. I'm not mistaken?" I ask,

"No, the company tells us that even your group just debuted last year, you guys have been work hard, and also your previous and earlier comeback was successful, well why not?" said one of the producers. I was speechless.

"On this trip, you will have a break over 2; weeks. But, each of you will hold a camera and capture a photo as much as you can," said the producers.

"I see; when will we start the trip?" I ask,

"5 days again, further information will be mail to each of you, and I hope you can give a little bit drama when you tell them," said the producers,

I chuckle a bit, "Of course, thank you once again," I said, "There's our company people already set a hidden camera on your dorm, except on the bathroom. Here's the footage right now," said the producer's showing Giselle, Winter, and Ning-Ning, seating on the living room watching the on going drama that been hits lately, Penthouse.

****

I can't wait to tell the other about this good news! "Eonnie, can you pick me up? I'll wait in the lobby," I said on chat. I click the elevator button to go down. Inside the lobby, there's a mini cafeteria for the fans to buy drinks and snacks on our new company buildings,

"Hello, can I have a hot barley tea and the red velvet macaroon's pack?" I said,

"Sure, take away or take in?" said the cashier,

"Take away," I said,

"Okay, please wait for 10 minutes, your order will be ready, and the total cost is $2.46," said the cashier. I paid and my phone rings,

"Hello?" I said,

"Where are you? I'm right on the lobby," said Heejin Eonnie,

"Hold on. I'm still waiting for my drinks. I'm on my way," I said,

I enjoy my hot barley tea in the gloomy weather. "Eonnie, can you help me do a prank?" I said, "For who? Is it for the others?" asked Heejin Eonnie, "Yeah," I said, "Sure," said Heejin Eonnie.

****

I enter the code in our door dorm, everyone slowly approaching me, "Eonnie, what happens? are you okay?" said Ning-Ning, "Later, I'll tell you all," I said with a sad tone. I enter my room and lock it, "I have goosebumps all over my body," said Giselle.

I think they must be shocked with all the very rare sad expressions that I show to them. I unlocked the door to take a bath. I see them waited for me in the living room. I put my dirty clothes on my laundry bags and take out red velvet macaroon's pack to give them a try.

"Hey, on my way home, I buy red velvet macaroon's pack in the company lobby cafeteria; should we try? they said it was the best recommendation," I said try to break the situation,

"Yeah, it's good," said Ning-Ning with an awkward smile,

"So, the news is our company think that I must go out from this group," I said with teary eyes,

"What?! No way, where's Heejin Eonnie? If you must go out from this group, then I'll do the same," said Winter, while Ning-Ning burst into tears, "Eonnie, p-please don't go," said Ning-Ning hug me tightly. I push Ning-Ning hand gently and pretend to go inside my room.

I pretend to pull out my suitcase with a hidden camera and put it out in the living room for a better view,

"Eonnie, what are you gonna do with your suitcase?" asked Winter in horror,

"Oh, from today on, I'll not live in this dorm with you guys anymore; I hope you all can be a successful girl group, and I'll always support all of you," I said with a sad smile,

"I'm not believing you until Heejin Eonnie tells me herself!" said Winter,

"Eonnie, are you doing a prank on us?" ask Ning-Ning,

"Why do must I play a prank on you all? Do you ever see me like this, Ning-Ning?" I said, a little bit yelled. I kinda' feel bad for them. "No," said Ning-Ning,

"Then, it's a serious situation!" I said. I pretend to call Heejin Eonnie to pick me up based on the dialog, "Hello, Eonnie? Can you pick me up?" I said, "I'll be there in 15 minutes," said Heejin Eonnie, "Bye," I said, end the call between Eonnie and me.

"Karina, are you ready? Do you have any last word for them?" said Heejin Eonnie, "No, I already told them before," I said, and when I take my suitcase, Ning-Ning pull my hand and hug me tightly, "I won't let, Karina Eonnie go from this places nor this group!" said Ning-Ning.

I little bit shock by Ning-Ning attitude, "Ning-Ning, can you let me go please? you can visit me later on," I said, "No!" said Ning-Ning. The situation tenser, "Heejin Eonnie, is that true about the news?" asked Winter, "Sadly, yes," said Heejin Eonnie, "Ning-Ning, can you let me go? I promise to visit you every day!" I said, "Just let her go, Ning-Ning. It's the company choice," said Giselle. Finally, she let go of my hand, and I go out with Julia Eonnie to the van.

"Finally, I can breathe," I said while taking a big breath, "Good job, we'll see them tonight," said Heejin Eonnie, "Isn't this too hard for them?" I ask, "No, there just a toddler prank, on the entertainment industry more scarier than this prank," said Heejin Eonnie, "Okay, if you think so, I hope they won't go mad with me after this," I said.
