Y/n's POV

I woke up, feeling the sun ray hit my face. I sat up, checking the time and it says 9:00 in the morning. I woke up late? Oh, I remember, me and Giselle went back to out tents like in 1 a.m.

We catched up on alot of things and I think we're good now. But that memory remains. Thankfully it's nothing to her.

As I went out of me and Karina's tent, I saw Aespa and their manager talking on one corner. My manager sitting on one of the chairs around the finished bonfire. I look around for Soobin and saw him walking around in the fields. He must've felt lonely.

I walked up to my manager and she immediately stood up after seeing me. "Y/n! Finally..."

"Good morning"

"Good morning too... I have a good news to you!" She went up to me and hugged me all of the sudden. "Good news?" I asked, she only nodded at me. "What is it?"

"CEO will tell you once we come back"  you pouted while nodding your head. She said it's a good news but why is it making me all nervous.

"Oh, Y/n awake now... let's clean up" Aespa's manager came up to me and patted my head. The Aespa members smiled at you except for Minjeong, as always.

"SOOBIN-SSI!" My manager called my brother. Soobin heard it and went up to our direction.

"Let's go... we got alot of things to do when we go back" my manager pinched my cheeks before going away to take off her tent.

ー

You and your manager went straight up to SM Entertainment while Soobin and Aespa all went back to their dorms. You saw the staffs smiling at you while doing a "fighting" gesture. You were beyond curious about this "news"

As soon as you reached the CEO's office, the manager assisted you as you sit which is unnecessary. "Good Morning, Y/n-ssi"

"Good Morning, sajang-nim"

"Have you heard about the news already?" He asked with an excitement tone. You slowly shook your head making him look at your manager. "You didn't tell her?"

"It'll be more impactful if you tell her, sir" the CEO nodded his head before looking back at you.

"So Y/n... You're joining a top- survival show!" The CEO, Manger and his secretary dramatically clapped their hands. You on the other side was confused. "Show? But I'm doing well in my solo, right?" You asked him.

"You are... but think about this promotion. You will be the top trainee there. You will gain alot of Chinese and Japanese fans if you join the show. I also heard you want to try going on a group so here's your chance"

"What about my friends, sir? Will I able to meet them while I'm there participating?" You asked him. He think about it for a second but later on... shook his head.

"Sorry, you cant"

"Then I don't want it, sir" you confronted him. "Then let's make a deal"

"If you join... your "group" experience will come true... and! Your fan base will grow. I will also give you top tier supplies for that show. But if you dont... whether you like it or not... you have to break up with Karina"

"Are you threatening me, Sajang-nim?" Your face went straight as you ask him on a neutral tone. How dare him control your relationship.

"Karina is my artist... you are my artist, I can separate the both of you... you know"

"Then kick me out, I can still find another entertainment while going on a relationship with Karina"

"No you cant... and addition to that, whether if you leave or not join, you can not talk to Aespa... ever again" his face looks so evil right now.

You don't have a choice. Aespa are your friends you you can't leave them for a dumb reason.

"Fine then" the CEO clapped his hands before signaling his secretary to come forward.

"Ms. Yu, please announce Y/n is joining Girls Planet 999"

"Y/n!" You heard Karina as soon as you entered your dorms door with your manager. "Oh, manager unnie! I packed her stuffs already" Karina told her. So they knew?

"You knew im going to that show?" You asked your girlfriend whos smiling ear to ear. She should be sad right now, you thought.

"Of course, isn't that exciting?" She looks more excited than you. "No it's not"

"It is! Imagine meeting Yeo Jin Goo in personal" she fanned herself. "Anyways... good luck!" She opened her arms before jumping into you. "But we're unable to meet while the show-"

"It doesn't matter" she stroked the back of your head.

"Y/n, I'll wait for you by the car" you heard your manager went out of the door.

"It matters to me, unnie... I will not see you-"

"Ani! Dont be like that, you will still see me through SNS" she broke off the hug and fixed your clothes. "But our phones-"

"I will be watching you and support you, ofcourse" she keeps cutting you off. "I will miss you..." you pouted at her that made her giggle. "Me too" her hands went on your cheek. You heard someone walking towards your door and when the door knob was twisted, you felt something hot on your lips.

"Y/n, I hea- oh, uhm..." you pushed Karina violently that made her back hit the wall. Her face went on a poker face again. "Aeri" you called.

"Am I interrupting something? Don't mind me... do what you two are doing earlier, bye" she immediately closed the doors once again. Your eyes landed back to Karina.

"Why did you do that? Why did you kissed me?" You asked her on a stern voice.

"Why? I'm your girlfriend" she reasoned, her face were emotionless like yours. "But... you didn't tell me"

"We've been in a relationship for more than a month now... why can't I kiss my girlfriend unexpectedly?"

"Because that's rude?"

"Yah! Choi Y/n!" She snapped.

"Be thankful i gave you my first kiss" you heard her mumble. So it was her first kiss...

"I'm sorry" you were the one who apologized. You know Karina doesn't take a fight well just like last time. It will always end up you're the one apologizing.

"You should be" she stomped away leaving you on the door alone. "She didn't told me Good Luck" you scratched your nape. "I messed up again, didn't i?" You turn around back to your dorm.

"I will miss you" you dramatically touched the wall before closing the door. You were in a rush, the final registration for the show is tonight and you need to go there already.

As you stood by, waiting for the elevator door close, Giselle ran out of their dorm in a rush. As she saw you on the elevator, the doors started closing.

"Y/n! Good Luck!" You heard her say before the door completely closed. You smiled at your reflection on the door.

"Atleast I got a supportive bestfriend..."
