The only truth in the passing time
The words that will end up getting left behind like shadowsNCT Dream - Quiet Down ♪
"Nice job, everybody," Eden congratulated the production team.
C&C's comeback had been a huge success, even with all the last minute changes, we all deserved a good pat on the back.
Honestly, I was glad it was over. After letting the fact that Sunny was quite a bitch sink in, I realized how much of a person's personality is censored to their fans... I still had a bit of hope though, maybe she was just having a bad day, or something personal happened. You can never truly know... after all, idol or not, we're all human beings, so I decided to turn a new leaf.
I couldn't be bothered with anything at the moment. My luck had turned for the better. So many good things had been happening to me, I could barely believe it. It's like I was in a dream.

"KPOP SENSATION KIM DOYOUNG GIRLFRIEND?
Some have reported various photos of what looks like a loving date! Who is Kim Doyoung's secret girlfriend?"What's this? Doyoung has a girlfriend?
I scrolled down only to drop my phone at the sight.
Is that me?!

I silently sat in Mr. Kim's office, waiting for his arrival, when the door opened. I turned expecting him to walk in, but instead I saw Doyoung.
We shot each other questioning glances. Mr. Kim had called us both. This could only mean he knew about the article. I felt panic start to flow through me. My left leg bouncing up and down as my hands trembled. Doyoung seemed to notice and gave me a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
"It's gonna be okay," he kindly smiled, "this type of stuff happens all the ti-"
He was interrupted when the door swung open again, this time, revealing Mr. Kim.
He looked at us with a cocked eyebrow, tracing his eyesight on Doyoung's hand on my shoulder before scoffing sarcastically, "so the rumors are true."
"W-what? N-no, sir!" I stood up, Doyoung doing the same. He cleared his throat, "we're just friends, sir."
Mr. Kim had a mischievous smile on his face as he made his way across the room and to his desk, sitting on his chair comfortably, crossing his arms, "sit down." We did as he told. "I was very surprised when I saw the article. I'm disappointed at you, Doyoung. You had never been this careless before. And Ms. Lim, you haven't even debuted yet and are already causing trouble," he shook his head, uncrossing his arms and leaning on the table, "luckily we can turn this around. But first, you need to explain what's going on in these photos," he opened a binder full of pictures of us eating together, talking, and just hanging out.
When were all these taken?
I felt a drop of sweat starting to form on my hairline. My heart was beating so fast I could feel it in my entire body.
"We didn't do anything wrong, Mr. Kim," Doyoung spoke up, "we're friends. Those photos are just misleading."
I felt myself tune out of the conversation as I started to freak out even more.
He's going to fire me. I just messed everything up. I knew it was too good to be true. I'm such an idiot. It's all my fault. I'm never going to debut now. What's Mark going to think? Oh my god, I ruined everything. It's all my fault. It's all my fault! ITS ALL MY FAULT!
"Seyeon?"
I looked up. Snapping out of my thoughts.
"You look pale, are you feeling okay?" Doyoung asked. His eyes scanned my face with worry.
"I-I'm okay..."
"We'll release a statement explaining the situation and we'll introduce you as a trainee." My eyes widened at Mr. Kim's words. "We'll announce your debut then too. We should shift the press attention to something new. Besides, you just got free advertisement." He had a wicked smile on his face. For some reason, Mr. Kim had always given me the creeps.
"Free advertisement?" I asked, a bit confused at the whole exchange.
"Yes. The public knows your face now," he leaned back, regaining his initial crossed-arm position. I could tell he felt most powerful like that. Kind of like he was a god, playing with it's little human toys. "Kim Doyoung's best friend and soon to be Moonshine's new Solo artist!" He said, looking up into the distance with a slight smirk, imagining the good publicity that would give him.
I was still a bit shocked, but I had to admit, we weren't about to lie to the press. And I felt relief hearing that I wouldn't be fired over this.
"We'll have to move up your schedule."
A bucket of cold water was thrown on me, "w-what do you mean?"
"Your debut. From January to November."
"That's two months less..." my voice was barely a whisper. It was the beginning of August, that meant I only had three months to prepare a whole album.
"You can do that right, Seyeon?"
It would take everything I had to pull this off.
"Yes, sir."
