Two weeks had passed since their final concert in Japan. Immediately following that, Bom traveled back to Korea to join Glow for final practices before their debut stage. The other girls remained in Japan a few more days to give interviews and perform as an eleven member group for the first time. 

They were in their practice room with their choreographer. All of their dances had to be modified to fit with their new eleven member line up. It was difficult, given that there was now an odd number of people in the group. Lina entered the room with news for Sun, which she seemed to be rather excited about. "Mae, I have good news for you." She said to the Baby Lips maknae.

Sun pulled away from the group to see what the news was about.

Lina held a packet in her hand that looked something like a book, or a script from the thicnkess of it. She shoved the packet of paper into her hands and Sun read off the title. Oh My God, upcoming 2015 Chinese film. 

"Pledis has been asked to have you as the main character for this movie." Lina gushed, her demeanor drastically changed from the way she had been treating Sun in the last few months. "Isn't that exciting, Mae?"

Sun was in shock. She hadn't done any acting projects before, and it was new territory for her. She also wasn't sure why she had been picked, but she thought that it had to do with her sudden spike in popularity in China after news of her dating Yixing came out. As the news finally sunk in for her, a big smile formed on her lips. She thought about all the time she would have to spend in China, and it would surely put some distance between her and the ice wall Yixing had up to keep her away. She had tried to talk to him several times, to ask for his forgiveness. But nothing was working.

Now she had decided that the best thing was to give him his space. By taking the movie opportunity, she would put more than enough distance between them--miles distance even. 

"Yes." Sun nodded in agreement. "Please arrange for me to get started as soon as possible."

Lina hurried out of the practice room and immediately got on the phone with the producers of the movie.

Though the Christmas season had been a difficult one for Baby Lips, what with one of their members leaving them, the girls found a way to get through it. They found support in each other, and the girls who had taken Bom's side forgave Sun for what they thought was a betrayal on her part. Now the remaining eleven members were more united than they had ever been before.

They saw more good news when Isaac traveled to Korea to spend time with Minnie over his winter break after the football season ended. He had recruited Rin, Sarang, and Sun to help him organize a get together with everyone where he proposed to her. 

Again, seeking to capitalize on one of their most fan beloved couples, Pledis was there to have every moment filmed and shown on television that night. But none of that mattered to Minnie, or Isaac, or any of the other girls because they had never seen the two of them so happy. It was something that was bound to happen already. That night at their engagement party, they even managed to set a date for the wedding. They would be getting married in six months--which was that upcoming June before Isaac would depart with the national team to Chile in order to participate in the Copa America.

Lina had arranged everything for Sun, and she was asked to show up for filming in late June.

On her first day, Sun traveled to Beijing on her own, with one of the other managers. Lina was to stay in Korea and tend to other commitments that the other girls had.

Sun walked onto the set, having practiced her first lines over a hundred times.

She had even gone to Yunseo for help on her Mandarin pronunciation.

She made her way to a conference room where she would meet some of the other co-stars and run lines before the kick off first filming. Before entering the room, she sucked in a deep breath. "This is the start of a new--positive--life. If Yixing no longer wants to be with me, I understand that, and I'll stop crying about it. I mean, he's not the only guy on the planet, right?" She gave herself a pep talk before pushing the door open. Her manager had left her to make some last minute arranges for a hotel she would be staying in.

Her hand grabbed the door knob and twisted it to get the door open. There were about ten other actors who would be filming for that day.

She felt her jaw fall open subconsciously when she saw someone she knew from Korea. 

He was equally shocked to see her there.

"Isn't this a great idea?" The director grinned at them as he spoke in Mandarin. "China's favorite couple starring in a movie together."

Even after months, no one knew about the break up yet. And their agencies were still forcing them to be together. The producers of the movie thought they were doing Yixing and Sun a favor by having them star in the movie together. But it was exactly the opposite. Sun now dreaded having to see Yixing--not because she didn't love him--but because she knew he was still upset at her.

In that moment, she strongly considered turning around and running out of the room.

and this has been the end for no you girls.

i know it was short, but it was just a quick wrap up and summary of how some things turned out well in the end and some didn't.

as you can see. i like to end my stories with a bit of a cliff hanger esque type of thing. because that gives me an opening to continue with a sequel, which this story WILL have. its going to be called "talk about boys".

and i might post the blurb tonight just to have it up there. but it won't start off until around when my kris fic "twelve" is either half way or almost ending.

thank you all for having supported this story. and thank you loads for voting and commenting. this story would have gotten NOWHERE without all of you. i am so grateful. <3
