"E'Dawn. Have you found anything on the girl yet?"

"...I see. This is...pleasant news. It seems Jimin's training schedule will be changing completely and now I'll have to arrange a meeting with YG himself. Thank you for informing me of this issue. Keep up the good work, honey." Nayeon held a sadistic smile as she hung up the phone, looking at the scattered photos of Ara piled upon her office desk.

"Working in the same company as my babyboy now? Tsk, tsk, haven't you learned your place? Very, very soon, you will." A sudden knock came at the door, breaking Nayeon from her small trance.


"It's me."

5:00 am. I wasn't very at ease with the fact of getting up so early in the morning. I rolled around in bed for about 10 minutes before stopping and hoisting myself up, promising myself that today will be a good day.

I sighed, walking over to the bathroom sleepily and stripping off every article of clothing quickly - considering the limited amount of time there I had to get ready - throwing them anywhere and starting up the shower. Once in, I exhaled in delight as the warm water hit my skin after such a cold night; I need to buy one of those portable heaters for my room soon.

I hopped out of the shower speedily, wrapping a towel around my body and dashing out of the bathroom for my room. Tossing the towel to the side, I realized I forgot to pick out an outfit for today's practice and shook it off - its not like I'm going to perform for real just yet. Keeping comfortable and warm is all that matters with the outfit choice for now, so I just fetched a pair of plain sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt paired up with a sweater for extra warmth.

I straightened my hair, and locked it into a high ponytail. Checking the time - 5:40 - I grabbed the essential needs for a cold winter in Korea and was out the door in a flash.

"Come on, Jisoo! Try and keep up!" Our dance instructor Mina observed us one by one, noting the individual progress each of us made on the choreography. Jisoo was having the most trouble. Rosé and Jennie maintained a reasonable learning pace. Lisa and I both made tremendous progress, apparently, "compared to my other pupils, you two exceed expectations above all," as Mina put it.

We all sat down for a brief break - I slid down onto the floor in one corner of the dance room. I gulped down some water, closed my eyes, and caught my breath. Moments later, I hadn't noticed Lisa sitting beside me until she pointed her presence out by clearing her throat.

"Oh! Sorry, didn't see you there, haha." I breathily laughed, turning my head slightly to gaze at her. Lisa gave me a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. Somehow, I felt a kind of tension in the air.

"Hey, Lisa."

"Hmm? What's up, Ara?" She replied, still kind of shaky from practice.

"Do you have something you need to ask me, or tell me?" I ushered.

Finally, Lisa's breath hitched. So, there was something on her mind.


"Do you know a woman named Im Nayeon?"
