Seol-jin's POV:
It's been a while since the music video shoot. That means that we should release our album soon. If we don't, I would probably be surprised. I think that the editing crew has gotten enough time to edit the music videos we recorded.I'm excited for the release. I love the songs and the concept of the album. I know not everyone is going to like the songs on there, but I'm willing to accept that. I'd rather have hate comments than no comments at all.
While I'm about to fall asleep, Hwa-young decides to call me. She tells me that we're going to release the album today, that we're ready to release. Oh my God, this is amazing! I better tell the girls!
All the girls are sitting at the table and I decide to tell them the news right then. "No way!" Eun exclaims. "Wow!" Jinhee exclaims. "Already?" Mi Sun asks. "It's been a while," I say. "We're gonna release our new album!" Chiaki exclaims. "I can't wait!"
"I wonder when we'll have our next concert," Malee says. "Maybe after we release our album," I suggest. "I hope," Nari says. "I can't wait to interact with the fans again!" "What should we even call our fans?" Eun-Kyung asks. "It's been months and we still don't have a fandom name." "She's right," I say.
"What about Dreamers?" Chiaki suggests. "We're called Mystical Dream, so it WOULD make sense." "I like it!" I exclaim. "What about the rest of you?" The rest of them agree. "I wanted to call them the Taco Bells!" Malee complains. "Welp, too bad!" Jinhee exclaims. "Can it, JinGAY!" Malee yells.
"By the way, I've been doing your laundry for a week," I say. "Your underwear is on the rack." Eun-Kyung has a look of fear on her face. "WHY DID YOU PUT OUR UNDERWEAR FOR DISPLAY?!" she screams, taking all of her pairs from off the rack. "You don't touch my underwear, GOT IT?!" "Yes, I got it!" I exclaim.
I'm guessing that most of the thongs are Jinhee's. I also see a pair with tacos all over it, which I assume is Malee's. Mine are just boyshorts, those are the most comfortable. HOW THE HELL CAN PEOPLE WEAR THONGS ALL THE TIME?!
I wonder how Cheol-min is doing. He hasn't been reading my texts, so he must be filming his movie. I want him to call me sooooo bad! But now isn't the time; we have an album to release! Come to think of it, I want to hear Cheol-min sing sometime. It's a little weird that I think of this now, but I'm just curious.
Sooner or later it's time for release! We put on some clothes, brush our hair, and head out the door. When we get in the car, we sit in the spots we usually do. I'm next to Mi Sun, who is next to Nari, who is next to Malee, who is next to Eun, who is next to Chiaki, who is next to Jinhee. In the back we just have random conversations like we usually do.
At last, we reach the recording studio, ready for our album to be released along with two music videos. Hwa-young is the first face that we see there, then we see Bang PD Nim, the Bangtan Boys, and the new trainees, TXT. Soobin and Beomgyu look so cute to me! During that time we get ready for the magic to happen.
"Are all the videos edited?" I ask. "Yes, Seol-jin," Bang PD answers. "What about the album itself?" I ask. "Have you guys made all of the CD's with all the songs on them?" "The editing team is almost done with that," Bang PD replies. "Awesome," I say.

After waiting in the recording studio for hours, Hwa-young says, "It's time!" This of course excites us all. It's so exciting to think that we're going to have our new album out. And I know that I keep saying that, but I'm just so genuinely excited about this! Our video gets uploaded to YouTube in 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...
I scream whenever the video gets uploaded to the Internet. "Seol-jin, are you alright?" Jinhee asks. "Yeah, I'm fine," I reply. "Just excited." "Five years of hard work and I'm finally having an album with my favorite people in the world," Eun-Kyung states. "DAMN!" Malee exclaims. I'm starting to think that that's Malee's favorite word, along with ass, fuck, shit, bitch, and twat.
Mi Sun clings to me a little bit. "I'll protect you, little one," I tell her. "And if you get nervous on stage, just remember that I'm always by your side." "Thanks, Seol-jin unnie," Mi Sun says while blushing. This is the part where I hold her tight and I don't let go.
Time skip
We're back at the mansion all dressed in our PJs watching Kdramas and eating ramen noodles. Jinhee's are silk, Eun's are Gucci with duck slippers, Malee's are covered in tacos, Chiaki's is a black nightgown, Nari's are Batman themed, Mi Sun's is a bunny onesie, and mine are Spider-Man themed. We watch dramas like Hello, My Twenties!, Weightlifting Fairy, and Love at First Sight. One of these shows isn't real, can you guess which one?
During the middle of our show, there is a knock on the door. "Seol-jin, you get it," Nari says. "Okay, fine," I say. "I always get the door. Why is it always me?" I walk to the door and open it, and the face I see makes my entire day.
"Cheol-min!" I exclaim. "I've missed you so much! What have you been doing?" "I've been acting as the protagonist of the Kmovie Bros, Seo Myung-bin," he says. "You guys should see it when it comes out, I'll come with you." "I'd love to!" I exclaim. "What about you guys?" "Sounds good," they say in sync. "Great!" I exclaim.
"Anyways, I heard that your album got released today," he says. "So I got a cake from the store to celebrate." "I want all the slices!" Malee exclaims. "Is today my cheat day?" Eun-Kyung asks herself, checking her phone. "Nope. I guess I'm not having cake today." "I'm not eating carbs at the moment," Jinhee says. "I suppose one slice wouldn't hurt," I say. "What about you, Mi Sun?" "I'll have a small slice," she says. "I'll have a slice," Nari says. "Me too," Chiaki adds.
The girls, minus Eun and Jinhee, and Cheol-min enjoy a delicious chocolate cake with chilled glasses of milk. After they finish, Cheol-min stays for a little bit and everyone just conversates and they all have a good time. Cheol-min watches Kdramas with the girls, fanboying over all of the actors. He's an actor himself, so I'm not all that surprised. But today is amazing, we should have another day like this again.
