[HOLD] Woman; N.R.

Our debut date has come around so fast. Just 2 weeks ago our official lineup was announced to even just us ourselves and we're already debuting tomorrow. Today we're finishing up our schedule for things before debut. One last photoshoot. Today, they have me in a fluffy white dress with layers and layers of mesh and some type of glitter fabric. I literally just got told I have to run for this scene. Seriously, what do they expect for me? Run in a dress that weighs probably 2 times I do? Not to mention the killer heels they put me in. 4 inch stilettos, I mean really? You can't even see them, they're under the dress! I'll try to do it gracefully although I doubt "graceful" will never be reached or even a little scraped.

My running photos seem to look okay, not as graceful as I intended it to be but definitely better than what could've been. I walk towards Minyoung who's currently using her phone, probably scrolling through Instagram or TikTok, and sit in the chair next to her. "Unnie, what's our schedule for this weekend?" She looks up and I finally get a full view of her now super glittery eye makeup for her shoot. "Huh? Oh, well we have a HYBE photoshoot." I give her a dazed look like 'What type of photoshoot?' and she continues on. "I believe it's a photoshoot for the younger generation of HYBE groups. So like us, TXT sunbaenim, you know?" "Oh..." I nod and she shrugs like she doesn't know. We leave it at that and continue chatting about random things.

The next day swings around fast and everything passes by in a flash. Now I'm standing in the middle of a dressing room getting ready to perform at our debut press conference showcase. Like in the music video, I'm wearing a light brown, almost beige knitted vest over a button up long sleeve and a school girl navy skirt with white sneakers. My hair is up in a half ponytail, curled to perfection and carefully crafted by our stylist who took her precious time curling these super small strands of hair. The hair, once a natural black is now blonde, a few purple strands here and there. Our concept is cutesy schoolgirl. I don't know what else is to come but to be honest, I like the cutesy schoolgirl concept, fits me just perfectly.

Our killing part in the song is during the bridge when I kind of skip my way across the stage and stop in the middle to sing my quick line and wink at the camera with a little hand motion. We were going to have Sue do it at first but Sue didn't like the idea and it was decided I would do it since I'm the maknae and I'm good at acting cute.

"10 minutes 'til stage!" Our manager calls while walking around and checking up on us. Sue is in a full on school girl outfit, less casual than mine. She has the button up shirt, jacket, skirt, and knee high socks with flats. Her hair, a nutmeg brown with pink highlights and in bouncy curls. Jihyun is in an outfit like mine but without the vest, instead a shiny chain hangs from the side of her skirt, more rebellious looking than the rest of us with her chain and combat boots. Her hair was dyed red giving her that rebel feel and making her stand out, but not too much if you know what I mean. Minyoung wears a pencil miniskirt with a short sleeve button up. It has our group's logo on the chest. She's wearing heels that are fairly decent, not too tall or thin, in fact, pretty thick and short which is good for dancing. Minyoung's hair was left the color it was before debut, black, but they bleached her two front bangs and put her hair into a ponytail leaving out the bangs to stand out. Last but not least is Yuri. Yuri is wearing a similar outfit to Jihyun. The colors are a bit different but the overall outfit is the same. Her hair is now pitch black and chopped into a bob with her see-through bangs.

"You nervous?" Sue comes up from behind me and holds my hand. "Me? Nervous?" I chuckle jokingly, "I'm never nervous." Sue gives me skeptical eyes like she doesn't believe me, obviously because it isn't true and I'm actually terrified. "Yeah? Well I guess all those times you watched your audition tape, it was all a figment of my imagination huh?" She sends me a devilish grin and I pretend not to see. "Yep, it was. You have an over imaginative mind." Sue rolls her eyes and then pulls out her phone to see the countdown of the release of our song. "Woah! Liyah look!" She catches me off guard with her sudden shout so I immediately turn to look at her phone.
