it girl

- part two -

I wake up to my alarm at 4:50 am, making my bed before entering the bathroom. When I brush my teeth and wash my face, I apply moisturizer and sunscreen, along with chapstick. I brush my hair out and put it in a side ponytail, knowing that before the spotify advertisement, the makeup and hair crew will fix it. I put on some light sweatpants and a cropped tank top, and go into the kitchen, careful not to wake the other girls yet.

I'm a little tired from not eating much, I can't afford to gain any weight before the comeback. Yesterday I had a few oranges and some raisins. I know the other girls are sticking to their diet, but I don't think they have as much pressure as I do. 

It's 5:10, and in a few minutes, I'll have to wake the members up, or else we'll be late to the stylist meeting. I cut up a lemon from our fridge and get six glasses, filling them with ice water and lemon slices before setting them out. I take my supplements and walk to my room. 

"Windee, wake up. It's 5:15, we've got a meeting with the stylist at six, remember? C'mon, we can't be late." I turn on the lamp beside her and go to wake up the other members. 

"Remember to take your vitamins! Especially you, Ginger." I raise an eyebrow at her, knowing she forgets.

I check my phone and pull up our music video on YouTube. I scroll through the comments, seeing people praise us for our music, dancing, and concept. But as I keep scrolling, I see some bad ones. 

"Why is Hana making those faces? Cringe."

"Why is Hana the leader? It should be Erin, she actually knows what she's doing."

"Hana's vocals are so bad it's not even funny."

I quickly turn off the video and look to the clock. We need to make our way downstairs in about fifteen minutes. 

I clean the main room a little, though there's not much there. Eventually, the girls are ready, and we leave the dorms at 5:50. 

Taking an elevator down to the second floor and knock on room 106. 

"Come in."

I open the door and look around. The room is bright, with a couch and a big rug in the center. There's a room to the side, closed by a curtain, and a woman waiting for us with several clothes bags over her arm. 

"Hi, I'm Niki." She says, smiling slightly. "I have your stage outfits for tomorrow right here, I just need you to try them on. Can everyone have a seat, please?"

We sit on the long couch together and Niki puts down the bags. 

"Okay, first we have Erin."

Erin stands and takes the bag that Niki hands her and goes into the curtain side. 

(author's note- i actually put together their stage outfits for Music Bank in a slideshow that is linked down below. obviously all of the girls will have jewelry and safety shorts on, but i didn't put that bc its a given lol. as i said in the first slide, please just pretend all of the green shades match and the theme is white and sage green).

When we've all been fitted, we go to our studio room to go through the choreography of the songs. We're performing our title track and b-side of the new album. 

"Okay, let's go through it with counts to make sure we're not missing anything." I say. Usually, our Choreographer is here, but she's working with the camera crew who will be filming us tonight. 

"Five, six, seven, eight." I start, and we go through the whole song.

"Now let's sing our parts with no music, and next time, I'll add the song, okay?"
