"you don't remember me? we trained together."

sooyoung was taken aback as the girl pulled away from her, while the girl was smiling due to finding her old friend. "i'm sorry... but who are you?"

"you really don't remember me? sooyoung i'm your unnie, kim taeyeon."

yeri jumped off of her seat as she couldn't hold her smile and excitement any longer. she held her hand out as she quickly introduced herself to the woman in front of her. "my name is kim yerim! i'm your biggest fan!!"

taeyeon happily smiled as she loved interacting with her loving fans.

"you're an idol now, unnie?" sooyoung said in a rough tone as she was unaware of the thought.

"sooyoung-ah, do you watch tv? but i've been an idol for a while now... after you left.."

"that's great to hear."

"well, are you here to audition to become an idol?"

"actually-" sooyoung began to say, before yerim shook the older's arm and continued her sentence.

"unnie's auditioning with me," yerim said with her adorable smile.

"i'm happy that you want to be an idol again. i'm one of the judges for the audition so i'll see you later," taeyeon said as she waved and smiled goodbye to the two girls.

yerim sat down, filled with joy. she couldn't hold her excitement as she had just met her favorite idol, since childhood. however, she noticed that sooyoung stood still, as if she was angry. yerim stood up and gave the older girl a back hug. "unnie, i'm sorry for pressuring you... i've heard you sing... you're so talented. please audition with me. i probably won't get in, but y-you will."

sooyoung could start feeling tears in her eyes as she listened to yerim's painful words. she turned around to face the younger, cupping the girl's face with her hands. "yerim, you wouldn't have decided to audition if you weren't talented. i believe that you're talented. you can do this. you will do this. i believe in you."

yerim smiled as she noticed how sooyoung's mood had began to change. she then dragged the older's hand with her to the chairs to sit down. yerim then placed her head on sooyoung's shoulders as the two casually held hands. "unnie, i didn't know that you were a trainee... what happened?"

"i'll tell you later," sooyoung said as she looked at the other people in the audition room.

"i-i trust you. tell me later," yerim said as she quietly glanced at the latter, then placed her head on the older's shoulder once again. "unnie, look! i'm taking a picture with a beautiful idol!"

"yerim-ah, what do you-" sooyoung began to say as she was met with yerim's phone as the younger was taking a selfie. "yah! kim yerim! i wasn't ready!" sooyoung yelled as she playfully hit the younger girl.

"then be ready. i'll take another one," yerim said as she positioned the camera.

sooyoung showed her contagious smile, then kissed yerim on the cheek, surprising the latter.

"sooyoung unnie!!!" yerim yelled as sooyoung continued to laugh.

"miss park sooyoung?" one of the judges said as he entered the room. "also miss kim yerim."
