13.2. Reflection SUJI

“Did he ever tell anybody about there being a new member and a sub-unit?” Gayoon asked seriously, looking from one member to another.

“He didn’t say anything to me at all, and I’m the leader,” Eunjung sighed, running a hand through her hair in frustration. 

“Well, I don’t even know why she’s in our dorm anyway,” Jimin said, folding her arms over her chest in defiance. “It only sleeps six people, and guess what? There’s already six of us here. Looks like she’ll be sleeping on the couch.”

“We can’t make her sleep on the sofa, Lee Jimin, yah,” Subin reprimanded, poking the visual in the shoulder. 

“Well, Sigma are still in Japan, so their dorm is empty for another week or two until we figure out what we can do with sleeping arrangements,” Eunjung said thoughtfully, tapping her chin with her fingertips. “All we’d have to do is figure out who would be staying with her.”

“Excuse me?” Seohyeon piped up nastilly. “I don’t think I understand you, leader-nim. Someone stay with her? We all already have our beds and our place in the group. I don’t see why anybody has to stay with her.”

“Well, would you like to be on your own in the dorm? When you don't know anyone?” Eunjung asked, turning on the maknae. “I thought not,” she continued after getting no answer. “So who’s it going to be?”

“I see no reason why it shouldn’t be you, Jungie,” Jimin told the younger girl. “Seeing as it’s your idea and you are the leader, after all.”

“Oh, for God’s sakes! Fine! I’ll stay with her, are you happy?!” Eunjung yelled, throwing her hands into the air in exasperation. “Now let’s get inside and introduce ourselves and I swear to the heavens, if you brats aren’t nice, I’ll ban you from eating take out for a month and you’re not allowed to ask Subin to cook for you, either.”

Together, they entered the sitting room and studied the girl who was sitting on their sofa, looking lonely and more than a little lost. Her long dark brown hair was all but covering her face and her luggage was sitting in a neat pile at her feet.

“Hi!” Eunjung greeted brightly, no trace of the argument they had had outside in her tone at all. “I’m Eunjung, Polaris’ leader and lead singer!”

“I’m Chaerin, the voice of the group.”

“Jimin, face of Polaris.” Jimin said shortly, not looking at the poor girl.

“Hey, I’m Subin, otherwise known as ‘umma Subin’, the oldest member and lead rapper of the group,” Subin smiled warmly.

“I’m the maknae and lead dancer, Seohyeon,”

“And last but not least, I’m Gayoon, main vocals and main dance.”

The mystery girl flashed them a nervous smile, stood and bowed a ninety degree bow. 

“Hello, it’s nice to meet you. My name is Elizabeth Song, or Suji, and I am going to be the new member of your first sub-unit.”

It wasn’t until much later, when Acid Teochii and a few of their SM Entertainment sunbaes were sitting in the common room that had been designed for Polaris and Sigma to hang out in (it hadn’t been used since the last time Sigma had been in Korea, which had been October), that Jimin worked up the effort to talk to their new member properly. 

“So, Suji,” she said curtly, dropping into the empty seat to the left of the younger girl. “Do you know anything about this new sub-unit? Who will be in it, for example?”
Suji looked up in alarm - nobody but Eunjung and Subin from Polaris had spoken to her all night, although D.O and Suho from EXO had been very welcoming. Acid Teochii had seemed a little distant, and the pink-haired delicate-looking girl that had trailed in after them seemed to be in a highly emotional state.
