Once in a Lifetime

4

I followed my schedule that day smoothly. Last on the list was training. I went to the SM trainee building. I greeted my EXO sunbaenims and bowed in courtesy of respect since I was familiar with them. I entered my assigned training room and greeted my instructors. There were some new faces I have never seen before. SM hunted down trainees quickly. 2 years ago I auditioned here and 2 years later I'm still here. Some girls who auditioned later than me were gone, given up and cracked under pressure or debuted in the recent SM girl group FX. So I would not be surprised that these new faces were disappearing faster than my face.

I made mental notes and took notes on my phone of the tips about beauty, makeup, dieting, fashion, and picture angles. Then we applied those tips and the instructors gave advise. One of my instructors saw the photo I took at an angle of myself. He told me that I should try joining a photography club to learn more, I respectively agreed, not quite sure though.

Later, we learned EXO sunbaenims's Growl dance choreography as it is always good to follow your sunbaenims to show your variety skills. Then we all had fun while we danced crazily and randomly as we all tried to burn up a few more calories before our weights got measured.

The trainee's gathered around the scale. Numbers got called out as a girl step on the scale. These numbers were as important as our lives because if the weight was over the standard weight any girl would get cut from the SM rookies so this department was where most girls cracked under pressure. My duty was to hold the hair up as the girls weighed to keep the number close and accurate as possible. But I had a secret.

The next girl was new. I had never seen her before. She looked a bit overweight. She was going to get a large diet change if her number was not low enough. So I decided to help. I quickly made my move when the instructor was not looking.

"Suck in your breath and hold it for as long as possible." I advised quietly. I tightened my grip on her hair and then steady my hand.  She winced in pain, but still held her breath. Determination. She had it. She widened her eyes as she saw the her number moved down and realized what I was doing, trying not to smile. Her number barely made it, which saved her from the harsh dieting. All she needs now is to cut her portions and some exercising and she would be in the safe zone. The girl slowly exhaled, not to be too noticeable.

So this is how Yeri meets Wendy. Will V and Wendy meet again? Will she get her shirt back? Stay tune to your notifications to find out!
