Solo Comeback

Mayse sat in the chairman's office. She had yet to know about the reasoning as to why she was there. The chairman then entered the room. Respectfully, Mayse stood from her seat and bowed to the higher male. "Princess, we have decided to give you your solo comeback," he stated as Mayse smiled widely. "You are to dye your hair any colour you'd like and! the song will be provided by one of our idols: Lay." Mayse quietly nods to every word he says. She was ecstatic to finally promote herself as a solo artist after her previous comeback with Breathe. She dedicated that comeback specifically for Jonghyun, one of her favourite singers and seniors of SM.

"That will be all, please continue to work hard," The chairman stated as he nodded at the young girl. Nodding, Mayse stood from her seat and bowed in gratefulness and disappeared from his sight.

She runs down the hallways and burst open the doors of her practice room where NCT 127 were rehearsing. "Yah, May, we're practising here. Where have you been?" Jaehyun asked the silver-haired girl. The female smiles brightly before jumping up and down as if she had eaten way too much sugar.

"I'm having a solo comeback! And it's gonna be produced by Lay oppa!!!" She cheers as she jumps like a kangaroo. She stops when she's in Johnny's arms. He had caught her to stop her from jumping so much. The members congratulated the girl and soon went back to rehearsing.

"Annyeong princess~" Lay greeted over the phone. After practice had ended, Mayse called Lay, who's still in China, about her comeback song. "The song I've written was given to Daeji. It's called Siren, I haven't written any lyrics yet, I'm sure you can do that yourself, Harper~," He said, using her producer name.

"Eung~ Thanks oppa!~" She ended the call and made her way to the recording room where Daeji was usually at. "Annyeong unnie!" She beamed as she entered the studio. Daeji greeted the princess of SM and gave her the scores of Lay's song. Scanning over the notes, and listening to the demo, Mayse was able to write the perfect lyrics for her solo song.

It's been around a week since Mayse received the news of her solo comeback. She had gone to her favourite hair salon. "Annyeong unnie-duel!" She greets the staff. Her usual hairstylist greets her and sets her up in a private room. "Unnie, I want to try a new colour, something unique," The young female requested as her hairstylist handed her a book filled with various hair colours. "Unnie, do you think I suit purple?" She asked, carefully taking the purple-dyed hair extension out of the book and placed it onto the side of her hair. Evaluating whether or not it looked good on her or not.

"I think you can pull off any colour Miyoung-ah~" Smiling, Mayse thanks her and decides to go purple. "Okay then, I shall prepare the dye," Mayse thanks her once more before relaxing. A few hours passed by and her hair was finally done. "Jjang!" Mayse gasps at her new hair.

"Wah! It's so pretty!" She compliments as she runs her hand through her newly dyed hair. "Gomawo unnie!" Mayse thanks her. Her manager pays for the appointment and took her back to the dorms, where she was bombarded with questions and compliments.

It was the comeback day. Mayse's music video had dropped a few days ago and the outcomes were ballistic! She received so much love and support from her fans. Today her schedule included going to Music Core to perform her comeback stage. She entered the building, as per usual, she greets the staff members and other artists. Mayse was fortunate enough to share a dressing room with Mark. "Oppa, is MCing hard?" she innocently questions him, her eyes sparkling under the room's light.

Mark stares at her for a few minutes before nodding. "It is. You gotta memorise your lines and everything that you've practised for the broadcast. Why?" He asked his member.

She shrugs. "Just curious," she smiled, allowing her makeup artist to finish her masterpiece. "Done unnie?" she asked her makeup artist who only nodded. Standing up, Mayse examines her outfit and hairstyle before grabbing her in-ears. "Off to the stage, I go, fighting oppa!" She cheered Mark as the two walked off to the stage. Mayse stood in position and waited for her cue.
