September 2015

Amy Lee was a girl who had the gift of singing. From listening to Gospel and Soul as a child to joining her local choir, she has always amazed everyone with her powerful vocals. She started her journey by posting music covers on YouTube and even after she moved to Korea to YG she continued uploading more covers. Her grand debut into 2ne1 was a monumental milestone in her life. For the first time she got to taste what it was like to be famous, to have fans come to you, to be idolized by many young girls.

Naturally by affiliation she became acquainted by SM's golden boy Eric Nam, the proclaimed American maknae of the biggest group in Kpop: Super Junior. What started as a mutual friendship soon evolved into romance. She doesn't know when exactly she started falling for him but it was gradual. Sole reason why didn't confess was because she had other things to worry in YG. Her group was neck on neck against the likes of Girls Generation. Their tense rivalry between SM and YG and Eric representing SM brought some awkward encounters by Suju fans. Before she even made her move Eric already beat her to it.

At first she didn't believe he had those feelings but the months of being together has really solidified his love for her. And just when they were ready to take it to the next level this happens. She watched helplessly as Eric Nam is forced to play pretend husband to a girl from that rival group. It was unbearable the things they were asking for Eric to do and she could tell how uncomfortable he is. This whole tension has really distracted her from her YG duties. Though 2ne1 hasn't been active, their contracts were still void.

In the meantime she returned back to her own solo she has created. The song had a variety of feelings she has felt from outage, anger, regret, hope. Relationships were never easy and she needed to keep fighting, even if she has to stand up to that girl.

"How long do I have to take this Chaerin? I know he doesn't like that girl, but seeing that girl smile like it's her happiest day really pisses me off. It should be me out there!" Ailee cried for the hundred time in the past few months. Every single day becomes harder and harder to hide her discontent.

"I'm sorry Ailee. I know what it like to hide your pain in front of someone you like. Shit feels like a stab, but it isn't over yet. Sometimes you have to take matter into your own hands. You need to stand up for yourself and tell that other girl he doesn't belong to you. She needs to know you're playing with the wrong chick. Loving someone mean you have to fight from the other person. With how fucked up We Got Married can be most likely he's powerless in this situation."

"Are sure this is the right way? I don't want to make things more complicated than it already is."

"There's your only option at this point. When I met my man I was already heartbroken, but he helped so much that we became friends. Now I'm proud to call him my man. It isn't easy when you got other girls flocking towards him like birds but I put the bitch in her place. Be the hero of your own love life." Chaerin advised her. She referred to BEAST's Harry Park, Korean American rapper and one of the best rappers in all of Kpop. He was like Eric Nam in some ways. Polite, thoughtful and dedicated to his faith. They have been dating for a year now despite their secrecy.

It gave something for Ailee to think about. For months she has ignored the whole show while she watched her man be snatched up by another girl.

"I can't let this other girl have her way. Eric is too naive to even do anything... I need to do something..."
