"Say hello."

Jaehyuk came into the room while I was sitting on a chair getting my hair done. "Hello." I smiled and waved at the camera. "You fit this concept I think, it's cute. You're cheeks just make the outfit." He laughs and pulls at my puffy cheeks.

"I think I'm going to have to give my best today to not get out staged by you." He compliments before moving onto the next person.

I looked back into the mirror that was in front of me watching the girl curl parts of my hair and placing them.

I try to put the light brown contacts she gave me in but I just failed miserably just making my eyes tear up. "Someone help this poor girl." Mashiho said watching me intensely as I tried to put them in, keyword tried.

His pained expression dropped when he saw Asahi walk in. "Sahi." His attention went over to the shorter and he walked over to us. "Please help her, it's painful."

"Take a long blink." He instructed and stood in front of me. Once I opened my eyes I helped him keep my eyes open and he slid them in.

He must be the king of lenses because he got them in on the first try and I now have a newfound respect for him. "I've been doing this since I was young, you'll get used to it." He smiled and walked else were.

"Good thing you did the lenses before the makeup." Mashiho laughed from beside me.

The boys are done and dressed and now are taking individual photos. I walked past them into the dressing room with our stylist her name was Hyejin and she was really nice.

"Take your clothes off. The dress is first." She locked the door before shuffling through some clothes on a hanger all fitting the same aesthetic.

I do what she says and she takes a light yellow dress off the hanger handing it over to me. This is where it got bumpy. "Lift your arms for a second." I again do what she says and see her take a corset making my eyes widen. She wraps it around my waist and stands behind me. "Big breath." She says before suddenly tightening it.

"Ugh-!"

It felt like I was being strangled but by my stomach. "Are you okay?" I hear Yedam ask and Hyejin chuckles. "Yes!" She shouted back in response before pulling again. "I don't think I can breathe!" I cover my mouth at my volume. "Sorry, my fault." She said loosening it and I can breathe again. "Better."

She gives me a bra to swap into because of the thin dress straps I put it on and stretch my arms behind me a clip it before Hyejin looks at me weirdly. "I could never, you could write that down as your talent." She laughs before going back to the clothing rack.

After some earrings and shoes, I was finished. "She's done." Hyejin calls and opens the door for me to get my picture done.

...

"What're you doing?" Doyoung came up to me. I was wiping my makeup off in the dressing room.

"It'd be weird if one of the staff had a coordinating outfit with the artist, wouldn't it?"

"The lengths you go through."

I smiled at him and just thought back to my usual thought; until our debut. It was in less than two weeks and then no hiding. That is if you don't think about the fans mixed feelings on me, but I try not to think about that.

...

I sat down at a long table with the rest of the boys and staff we were having our first official meal all together after the photo shoot and we were taken to a Korean barbecue place.

Yoshi was in front of me and reached over to put some food into my bowl and I smiled at him.

I was trying to diet myself so I only took a few bites before feeling the all too infamous feeling. Leaning over to Hyejin who was next to me I whispered into her ear. "Do you have a pad with you?"

She nodded her head and put her chopsticks down walking to the bathroom with me.

...

"Haruto, I swear I will chop your hands off if you touch me one more time."

"Haruto, stop annoying Nao. Jeongwoo stop annoying Yedam. Doyoung just stop doing whatever that is, staring is rude and I'm sure she doesn't appreciate it." Hyunsuk said, people were starting to look at us in the street and we were just going to hang out.

"Treasure!" Jihoon warned and we instantly got quiet, no one wanted to die that particular day.

The leaders had been picked and to our surprise, they said that it would be two, Jihoon and Hyunsuk. I thought it was a good decision since they both had good qualities on separate things and they were perfect together covering each other's impurities.
