At Tiffany's

Nine.

"Welcome back to the agency, Miss Jung."

Oh my, that creepy smile.

"Where's SooMan sajang-nim?"

"He's retired last month. So, I'll be the boss here."

"Well, okay. What will I do for my debut?"

"Nothing. I just need you to attend trainings before your debut next month."

What? Training again? That's what I hate the most!

[Flashback]

"Okay, let's practice your debut song!"

"Geudaeye, buduroun sumgyeo-"

"That's wrong, Miss! Again, from the top!"

"Whoever makes a mistake will be punished with this pellet gun! Understand?!"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Okay! Now, one, two, three, go!"

"Jeonhaejugo sipeo sulpeun sigani, da heuteojin huiya deullijiman...

Ireohke gaman bameuleo neukkimeun, geudaeye bu- achoo!"

"What's that?!"

"BANG!"

"Huh... That's what you deserve! Hahahahaha!..."

I was shot at my head with a pellet gun. Ouch. I started to cry and walked out of the practice room.

[Present]

"So you'll be starting tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, sajang-nim." I said softly.

"Now go and relax first."

Then I left the room.

I walked through the halls inside the building. Wow, lots of improvements. They have a collection of every album we released - from Girls' Generation to Lion Heart. Well, even if I left the group after the Mr. Mr. era, I was still a part of it, right?

"So who's this? Oh, Miss Jessica Jung, what brings your face here?"

"Well, I'll just bring my face back into this agency. See you soon, ma'am."

Tsss. That brat. I still can't forget that pellet gun.

Meanwhile.

[Tiffany Hwang's Point of View]

"What's that?"

"Plane crash."

"Oh, well, Jessica's not there, for sure."

"Who's Jessica? Your former member? Huh, can't believe you still remember her."

"Of course. I'll go to sleep now. Good night."

I checked my messenger and saw messages from Jessica.

"Hi Hwang. How's your day?"

"Hwang, I have something to tell you."

"Hwang, are you there?"

"Reply if you read these messages."

"Jung, I just checked my messenger and I'm sorry if I didn't reply."

Jessica Jung
Active now

Wow, so alert!

"Hwang, someone's meeting you tomorrow."

"Who?"

"He's John Jung, my uncle. He's going to be the manager of that cafe. And you and Taeyeon unnie are going here after six months."

"Huh? Why?"

"Just give him all the permits and papers I gave you before."

"What?"

"Remember what I told you before? We'll bring back Girls' Generation."

"Well, okay. We'll still stay here for six months, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay. I'll go to sleep now. Bye!"
