How Could You?

Chapter 1: I Think It's Time

I sigh as I look myself over in the mirror of the dressing room while the girls are sat on the couch discussing some matter or another. We're currently waiting to be called out on stage for our interview at this point, the three of them already completely ready as I finish up.

I've got on black ripped skinny jeans, a gray tight tank top with a black tee shirt over it that's been cut to make it look like a crop top. It's got Killer written in blood red lettering across the front of it, and I've got a dark gray beanie on to finish the look. As for makeup, maroon lipstick and a dark smoky eyeshadow style. My mint green to tame blue hair stands out in my dark style but it works.

"You girls ready? We need you to start heading out. You're on in five." One of the stage crew informs us as they peak their head into the room after knocking. Nodding my head, I turn to the other three as they stand up.

Saehyun has on a pink crop top that shows off her nicely toned stomach that's matched with a white knee length skirt. Saeron has on a maroon high low skirt with a tight white crop top, showing off her toned legs and stomach well. Hyejin ended up wearing dark washed jean short shorts and a loose baby blue tee shirt that has the word Baby written in white fancy lettering.

"And everyone! Please, welcome to the stage Hideout!" The interviewer introduces us, giving us the cue to go on. As we're walking out to the couch that they have for us, Saeron accidentally trips, not being our best walker when in heels. Reaching out to her, I manage to catch her before she falls and she gives me a grateful smile.

"Hello, girls! How's everyone doing today? We're so excited to have you four here with us!" She greets us with a smile.

"We're doing very well. And, thank you for having us. It's an honor to be here." I answer as the girls settle into their seats. We've been doing these for a while now and yet they still want me taking the lead half the time for these things. I've tried to talk them into having me talk a lot less but they won't have it, saying I need it.

"That's great to hear! Now if I've heard correctly, you girls are meant to be releasing a new album soon? Is that right?" She asks. I nod my head.

"Yes, we're releasing our new album in just three more short weeks." I answer.

"That must be pretty exciting for all of you, yes? Getting to show the world once again what you've been hard at work with over the last couple months, yeah?" She prods, trying to get conversation out of us. I look over to the girls who simply smile, nodding their heads as they motion for me to answer once again. I sigh but nod as well.

"Yes, we're quite excited for the album to get released. We've been working hard these last couple months to improve ourselves and our music, hoping not to let the fans down and fully deliver with another decent album." I answer, ignoring the fact that we've not been working on the album for the entire last two months.

Instead, we've had the first month and a half of these last two months off so that we could focus on working out, on schooling, getting a small break for once. It's only been the last two weeks that I've been working on the album.

"I'm sure. Now, you'd brought up not letting the fans down. In regards to the fans. Ann, I've heard you've been having some difficulties with them lately? It's recently been all over social media that fans have been saying you're too cold and harsh towards everyone, including the fans themselves. Do you or the girls have anything to comment on that?" She questions, interest in her voice for the answer as she watches us expectantly.

I clench my hand into a fist at my side as I remain silent. I need to calm down before answering otherwise things will only get worse and I know that.
