The next morning all of the girls woke up bright and early to start writing their songs and going to the studio to work on some tracks.

They wanted their album to be powerful.. but not obnoxious.

They wanted to stand out but not with negative attention.

They decided their Album was going to be something to do with their image on other people.

All of the girls started to brainstorm how they wanted to be seen, just as Jiyeon (of course the smarty) came up with the clever title..
 
   "Strike." Jiyeon said with an expressionless face.

"Strike?" Chaerin questioned, wondering how that came up in her head.

"Think about it..." Jiyeon said grabbing a piece of paper to write the thought down.

"We don't want to seem basic or ordinary.." She said pausing to catch up with her own handwriting.

"We want to stand out... we want to be.. *Striking*... And with a powerful album and a powerful image.. We'll *Strike* our fans... or our *Hexagonners*."

Everyone in the room looked at each other.
They all were seriously impressed as Jiyeon looked up to see what  the girls thought about the concept.

"...Is it bad?" Jiyeon said looking at the girls' stiff faces.

"No!" Baelyn said standing up walking over to Jiyeon.

"You're a fucking genius!" Baelyn said, giving her a tight hug.

Chaerin didn't really like the cussing (like always) but she let it slide because she couldn't help but feel the same way.

A few minutes after the girls praised Jiyeon for her brilliance, they starting writing te first song "Strike".

After many hours of working and writing they had their whole album planned out with 6 songs.

Album: Strike
Songs:
Strike.
Intensity.
Nothing you can do.
Lifting me up.
Tamed.
Heartbeat.

They had already finished the entire song and recording for Strike, and they were all impressed at how much they could get done in one day.

Dan Un was there the whole time with the recorder and informed the girls that she would start to hire a director for the music video.

"Eeeekk!! The music video!" Miju cheered clapping her hands.

Dan Un already had a lot of connections from working with Cube Entertainment.

She could contact the people who have directed the music videos for Hyuna... or the group     (G)-IDLE... or 4Minute.

Even though the girls were starting become their own idols, didn't mean they didn't have people they admired themselves.

Chaerin was a huge fan of Hyuna.
She loved her confidence and how she stayed out of the ordinary from the "ideal korean girl."

Dan Un only made 3 phone calls before she justified that she had a director prepared to work with the new girl group "Hexa."

The girls couldn't even move. They were in such disbelief at how fast they were launching into fame and now well they were doing.

"Alright everyone.. bring it in.." Nayeon said holding out her arms offering a group hug.

All of the girls came and and have a big group hug which seemed to last for years.

Chaerin wasn't the biggest hugger.. it just depended on the person and her mood.

At the moment she was a little too tired to take her friends into her embrace.
She wanted to save her hug for Dan Un and Jiyeon who basically kickstarted the whole beginning.

Chaerin went to Dan Un and hugged her tight to show her appreciation.

And then she turned her focus to Jiyeon and hugged her so tight she had to gasp for air when she'd released her grip.

"What was that for.. I mean I'm not complaining but.." Jiyeon asked looking into Chaerins eyes.

"Just to show that I appreciate you.. I appreciate all of you." Chaerin said looking at all of the girls who were smiling.

It was now about 10:30 p.m and the girls wanted to get home.

They all rode the same car to and from the Entertainment building and as soon as they came home they all went to their rooms and collapsed on their soft beds.

Dan Un was going to inform them tomorrow when they would start shooting the music video, when they came back tomorrow.

But for now all the girls just wanted to rest.

Chaerin was proud of herself, but she was also proud of all of the girls. They were good workers and they worked good together.

Chaerin had a morning plan the next day to make all of the girls a celebration breakfast before they returned to work.

So she set an alarm for 8:30 a.m. and fell fast asleep ready for the next day of their new career.
