"I..I'm sorry Eunbi-ssi..."

"Just get it right the next time...aish.."

The small girl nodded and went back to practicing the choreography. She was the new girl that the CEO brought in. Her name is Yewon.

Eunbi sighed and sat down on the floor of the practice room next to Yerin. The older girl looked at Yewon through the mirror.

"You're being too hard on her Eunbi."

"This industry is hard...I'm not gonna let us debut with a newbie that doesn't understand."

"Eunbi..she may be new at this but remember when you were new at this too? How did they treat you?"

"Fine...I guess.."

"Then you should at least make this a good experience for Yewon. She's a pretty fast learner. And a great dancer."

Eunbi looked at Yewon practicing with Yuna. She sighed and looked back at Yerin.

"I mean...she is but-"

"No but's! She's new here and we have to treat her well. Don't force her to learn something quickly and stress her out. She'll figure out a way. We just have to help her get there. We aren't perfect either, we need help too."

Eunbi nodded and looked back at Yewon. She did look like she was trying her hardest, her forehead was slightly sweating as well. Eunbi then stood up and stretched.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom."

Eunbi walked out of the practice room. Yerin looked at herself in the mirror as she was still sitting down.

My legs...they're so..wide...so are my arms. My face is really round too...

Yerin cupped her face with her hands and furrowed her eyebrows. She sighed and rested her forehead on her knees.

Why am I so...fat?

•~•~•~•~•

"Yerin-ah...why didn't you eat dinner with us today? It's good to eat after exercising."

"Mom..do you know any good diets I could do?"

"Another diet? Yerin you've done two already!"

"But...I still don't feel comfortable with being like this.."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm still fat mom. Fat."

"Fat? You're not fat! That's just how you're body type is-"

"I am not happy at all with my body though!"

Yerin forced out and teared up as she looked at her mother who was standing at the doorframe of her room. Yerin was sitting on her bed and clutching onto the blankets.

"Honey...hey.."

Yerin then bursted into tears and her mother rushed to hug her. She rubbed her back as her daughter cried her heart out.

"H-How a-are we g-gonna deb-but w-with me l-looking like th-this?"

"Jung Yerin. My beautiful daughter, you will debut and everyone will love you for who you are. Just wait and see, you and you're group will be big names in Korea. In the world. Everything is gonna be alright."

Yerin sniffled and tried to calm down. She looked up at her mother who was smiling at her. She smiled back, showing her eye smile.

"That's the smile I like to see. And soon the world will get to see it as well and fall in love."

Yerin giggled and playfully hit her mother's arm.

"Don't hit your mother Yerin."

"Sorry mom.."

They laughed together and hugged once again.

"You're gonna be big baby. Just wait and see."

And so, she waited.
