Irene's P.O.V

Most girls at our age would be either going to school, working, or just having fun like any other girl. But not us. We have a special mission. A mission if we succeed in. Will change our lives forever. It's very cruel to think about what we're doing. Just for our, and our boss's own ambition. But that's what some people have to do to get what they want. Normal people would think this is wrong and quickly deny the offer Mr. Lee offered. But selfish people like us won't. They would do anything, and by anything I mean anything to get what they want and need. Even if it means throwing away your dignity and respect. But I don't care. I don't even care if I have to sell my own soul. No matter what it takes I will do anything to prove those companies who, turned me down. wrong. Because young faces aren't just the only ones.

"Unnie?" I turn around and see Yeri holding her school uniform in one hand. And an iron in another. "Can you please help me iron my school uniform?" She asked, or more like pleaded.

I laughed and motioned for her to come forward. "Of course," she smiled and handed me her school uniform and the iron. "I love to iron." I honestly spoke.

She furrowed her eyebrows and laughed a little. "That's kinda weird."

I smiled and ruffled her hair. "I know it is."

...

"Breakfast is ready!" Wendy shouted from the kitchen. Great! Just as I finished ironing Yeri's uniform.

"Yeri, here you go." I neatly hand her the uniform. Making sure to unplug the iron and placing it were it goes.

She smiles and hugs me. "Thank you, unnie."

I playfully rolled my eyes. I seriously don't like to me called unnie. She's the only one that calls me that. But I just don't wanna say anything because she's just to cute. I'll just have to get used to it.

"Let's go eat breakfast." She nodded and we walked to the little dinning room together.

It was connected the kitchen and there was a table with six seats. It was pretty small but perfect enough for us.

After serving ourself's the breakfast Wendy and Joy made we sat down around the table and ate in silence. Today was going to be the first day of our mission. And we didn't know what to expect. It could go well but it could also go really bad.

"Yeri you should go get ready the driver should be here in twenty minutes to pick you up." Seulgi broke the, not awkward, silence.  Yeri nodded taking one last sip of her juice before standing up to do what Seulgi said.

Yeri is sixteen years old so she still has to attend school. Luckily one of them also attends school. But not the school Yeri attended so she had to transfer. Today is her first day to a new school. And I could tell she was very nervous.

...

As she waited for the driver to arrive. We all sat around the living room, after cleaning up at the table and in the kitchen, and waited with her.

"Are you nervous?" I asked. Noticing she was shaking her leg up and down, nervously.

She sighed, "I can't back out now." coldly answering. When we talked or referred about that she suddenly turned cold or quiet. I don't blame her though. Just thinking about we're doing makes me wanna throw up. What like she said we can't back out now.

Suddenly her phone vibrates. "That's the driver." She announces. Walking towards the door to put on her shoes, already having her bag on her shoulder.

"Yeri?! Wait!"

"Yes?" She turns before she can walk out.

"Be careful." I worryingly tell her.

She smiles and gives an assuring look, to all of us. "Don't worry." Was the only thing she said before walking out and closing the door.

"What now?" Joy asked after a few minutes of silence.

"We do our job."

Joy's P.O.V

Where do we even start. This is harder than I thought. When I accepted Mr. Lee's offer I honestly was thinking straight. All the pressure I've been(and am) going through was just to much. I needed to find an easy way and this was the only easy way. I seriously wish I can go back and wish this never happened. But what's done is done. There's no turning back now.

"I'm just gonna go for a walk." I announced. Getting up walking towards the door.

Seulgi sighed and stood up. "Guys we only have six months. We can't afford to slack off. It may be hard. It is hard but we have to try. We have to try for our dreams. This is the only way. It's not the best way but we already chose this way. There's no turning back now."

I looked down and said nothing. I put on my shoes grabbed my bag and walked out. I didn't intend to be rude. I just really wanna take a walk.

Seulgi's P.O.V

"I don't think she meant to be rude." Irene spoke, seconds after Joy just walked out.

I turned around and walked to my(and Wendy's) room. But before saying, "I know." which came out like a mumble.

I really hope those girls are taking this seriously. Because I don't intend to slack off. I am going to work hard and if I have to, I will push those girls. Because even if they do regret doing this they don't have any other choice but to complete the job the signed up for. Yes, job. This is only a job and it will be nothing more than that. I have been training for seven years almost eight. If I didn't do this I don't think I would've been any close to my dream. By doing this I can prove to Mr. Lee that I am worthy and loyal enough. Just you wait Mr. Lee and see I am worthy enough.

I need relive some stress. And I know just what to do. Dance. I changed into some sweat pants, a plain white t-shirt and put my hair into a ponytail. I plugged my phone into my speaker and put shuffle on my favorite dance songs playlist. Sherlock by SHINee come on. My favorite. I wasted no time getting into the beat of song and started dancing.

Wendy's P.O.V

"I want nobody, nobody but youhhh~ youhh~ ugh!" I can't get the you right. It just doesn't go the way I wanted it to go. I practice day and night just that little line and I still can't get it right. No wonder all those other companies turned me down. I'm not good enough. My voice is horrible. I have no talent. I should just give up already and quit my dream. I not good enough. There are tons, thousands of other girls with better voices that deserve this spot. I don't.sigh.

"Wendy, what's wrong?" I hear Irene ask from behind.

I forcefully smile and turn to look at her. "Nothing. Just, ugh, need some air." I stand up placing my guitar in its case.

"Are you sure?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

I nodded. "Mm. I'll just go out for a little while." I assure, putting on my shoes. Putting the strap of my guitar case over my shoulder.

I walk towards the elevator and press the buttons to open the doors. Once they open I get inside and look at the buttons.
