"Remember, no swearing until you guys are off the stage. We rehearsed this, just try to seem like you're not out to kill the audience!" Sun-hee was frantic, lurking around the dressing room like an extremely fussy shadow. The girls nodded, not able to do much else due to the constant onslaught of the stylists.

The members, given their experience, had finished the preparation for the album quickly, leaving more time to work on their attitude. A few of them, like Sooyoung, already had the charismatic and sweet image down, but others were work in progress. Yeorim and Shiori's egos had been a tough obstacle, along with Jinna's refusal to cooperate.

Being the newest addition to the final lineup, Park Hye Jinna or known by her stage name, Jinhye, had a hard time getting along with the rest. Eventually though, everything somewhat fit into place. The half Australian had instantly managed to befriend Minju, and the two promised a future full of pain for the others.

Taking a sip from her water bottle, Arah began reciting her lyrics, pacing around the small room as she did so. Sakamae on the other hand, was busy thickening her eyeliner, unhappy with the job her makeup artist had done. Finished with the final touches, she turned to the rest of the members.

The decision of roles in the group had been a bit of a problem. Their vocal, dance and rap coaches decided on how the roles should be divided, causing a mini uproar in the practice rooms. In the end, the positions had been decided along with each member's stage name.

Sooyoung, for obvious reasons, was given the role of leader and tasked with being the main dancer and sub-vocal of the group. She had decided to go with the stage name Ace. Being too lazy to think of a new one, Arah just went with Ara, simply removing one letter from her original name.

The remaining girls minus Jinna and Sakamae, who chose Hyejin and Ruby respectively, went with their original names. When Sun-hee asked about the lack of creativity, Shiori stated that her inspiration was hiding in a mountain cabin on Mount Everest. Quite unamused, the manager decided against further questioning.

Suddenly, a loud crash issued throughout the changing room, followed by a string of curses courtesy of Yeeyoung. The lead dancer and rapper was on the floor, holding her ankle while frowning. Dropping her water bottle, Arah ran over, a worried expression on her face. "Unnie, you ok?"

Still clutching her ankle, the older girl nodded, letting go as she rose wordlessly. The preparations went since there were barely five minutes left, but Sun-hee wasn't sure about wether or not Yeeyoung should preform. After the girl had insisted, saying she was fine and that it was only a small trip, the manager let it slide.

Nobody, except Arah, would have accepted they had actually been worried for their group mate. Even though initial impressions hadn't been great, the girls weren't as hostile towards each other. Apart from death threats that were rarely carried out, everybody kept the violence to the minimum.

Just as Sun-hee was about to start another round of her pep talk, a man knocked on the door, yelling at them from the other side. "You girls are on in two minutes!"

Stopping whatever they had been doing, the girls clambered towards the exit of the dressing room. At some point during the small rampage, Yeorim accidentally stepped on Minju's foot with her high heels, earning a high pitched yell from the younger girl.

Luckily, they were able to leave the room without casualties. Following the final microphone check, the girls were ushered onto the stage. Though the venue was dark, the small glow of fans' light sticks illuminated the sea of blackness to some extent.

Just as everyone found their places, the MC's voice boomed through the speakers. "JYP Entertainment's newest girl group Trouble is ready to rock the stage with their debut title track, You Think!" A chorus of cheers erupted from the audience as the lights turned on and the music started.
