Y/N was a normal girl. Trainee at SM entertainment, set to debut in the upcoming girl group.
That was until she met Yuna, a member of ITZY.
And their worlds collided - and became a force to combat the world.
Y/N and Ningning rushed over to the side of the practice room where their manager was setting something up.
"Y/N, you stay here, the makeup artist will be here soon. Ningning you go the corner over there and practice the dance when the stylist shows up, go choose your outfit with her," The manager said. Somehow knowing when Ningning and Y/N were near; all the while not pausing at staring at the iPad in their hands.
Ningning looked at Y/N. Y/N looked at Ningning. Ningning went over to the corner and did the squat-arm move from the chorus.
Y/N stood awkwardly next to the manager, somehow, even at only 167 cm, towering over the manager.
The manager filled Y/N in, "We will tease your debut with the dance practice -- your outfit has been chosen for you already. We will also bring in some backup dancers for this specific song so that only eagle-eyed fans will be able to realize someone new will be debuting soon," they received a notification on their iPad and left.
Y/N nodded and then practiced the dance for the new single after the manager walked away, " tsst, tsst, tsst. I'm a savage." Y/N noticed Ningning also continuing to practice by herself and starts to walk over towards her.
But then...
Their other members walked in.
Winter gave Y/N a sweet smile, it looked genuine but didn't separate herself from Karina's side.
Karina was another story -- she ignored Y/N and went over to the clothing racks and flipped through outfits -- not waiting for the stylist.
Winter coughed.
Karina finally looked up and gave a small wave to Y/N.
Giselle also walked in while drinking some sort of smoothie concoction, it looked really good.
After tense silence of Ningning and Y/N practicing their dance by themselves, Winter/Karina choosing outfits early, and Giselle drinking her drink; the stylist walked in.
"Girls!" The stylist called, "You will be allowed to choose your outfits but they coordinate with Y/N's outfit -- the company will be posting a 'backup dancer's' fancam alongside your practice video." She pulled out Y/N's outfit.

The other girls crowded around and surveyed the outfit. Karina and Winter picked out their outfits without hesitation. Giselle and Ningning took a little longer.

After they all settled on their outfits, the backup dancers for the practice came in -- all fitted in black leggings and solid white or blue t-shirts -- all provided by SM.
Their stylist went and tried to find their manager, all the while cameramen and the choreographer came into their practice room. A make-up artist also arrived -- ready to do any touchups during the filming.
After everyone arrived the manager spoke, using a headset, "Alright -- everyone's here. Let's do this! I'm hoping for only a few takes this round."
For some reason, everyone applauded for the brief speech.
All of currently debuted and almost debuted Aespa situated themselves in front of their dancers -- ready to get the filming started.
They started filming.
Y/N and Karina immediately zeroed in on each other and started a hidden dance battle. The cameramen made sure to record the feud as best as they could. Although, you'd only be able to see the feud if you knew them, anyone else would think they just had good performance skills.
They finished recording in only seven takes - a record and everyone went off on their own leaving the aespa members to their own devices.
Winter and Karina left together immediately after the recording.
Ningning and Giselle continued to work on practicing the dance for the song together.
Y/N sipped her water, and went to go mingle with the back-up dancers.

++ Is it just me or does it look like the backup dancer in the blue top could be a new member... she looks like the others but her pants and shirt are slightly different... like they want her to stand out but also not...
