March 2019

-----------

"Can I excuse Ria for minute?" Areum asked the guys since they are playing in the practice room. "Sure noona." Taeyong said, then Ria followed her manager to a conference meeting/room.

"Unnie, what are we doing here?" Ria asked since there is an on-going meeting happening. "I don't really have an ideal." Areum said truthfully. "Oh! Here is she!" BoA told everyone as soon as Ria entered.

"Unnie? What is happening?" Ria asked BoA and chuckled nervously, "There is nothing to be nervous about." Lee SooMan, the producer. "Oh annyeonghaseyo unnies" Ria said to Taeyeon and Wendy who are also in the same room.

"You're actually here because.." One of the board member said, "Is it something bad?" Ria cut him accidentally because of her nervousness. "No no, it is nothing bad." They assured her.

"You're here because we thought that you are fitting with the group we're planning to debut." One of the board told her. "Huh?" The only word that come out of Ria's mouth. Then just in time the three new members come in.

"Ningning!!" Ria excitedly said and hugged the younger. Then it hit her, "Oh! They are debutting? Congrats!" Ria told the three girls happily. "Yes they are. With you." BoA said. Making the three girls excited because they'll be able to work with Ria for God knows how long.

"Oh my? Really? Again?" Making them all laugh to her reaction. "Yes." Lee SooMan said. "And before we end this meeting, here are your possible positions." They the gave them a folder consist of their 'resume' of you would call it.

"Eh? Leader?" Ria asked them. "You're the most experienced and the oldest so yeah." They casually told her as they leave the room. "Annyeonghaseyo sunbaemin!" The three girls greeted her. "Don't call me sunabe, please. We are gonna be in the same group sooo, let's just drop that and call me 'unnie'." Ria said smiling warmly.

After a good 30 minutes of introducing and knowing each other, "How about let's eat out?" Ria suggested. "My treat." Ria added. And the four of them excitedly walk out of the room.

"I'll just say bye to NCT." She was about to go first in the practice room when she remembered something. "Why don't you come with me? I'm sure my members won't mind it." She said making a gesture for them to follow.

Gisselle followed with a red cheeks since she auditioned because of Jaehyun and they just talked about it earlier.

"Oppas! I'll be going out." Ria informed the NCT 127 members. "Who are you with?" Johnny asked. "Uhm, other members." Ria cheekily said. "They are all busy, Ri." Jaehyun said.

"I didn't say NCT members though." She smirked, "Wait what?" Before they can asked even more, she left with the three girls. "She's debuting in a girl group." Mark said as they watch Ria walk away with Giselle, Minjeong and NingNing. "Hyung! Is that NingNing?" Haechan asked Mark.

"Most likely." Mark simply reply. "Woah, she's going to debut? AGAIN?" Yuta said. "She's THAT talented." Taeil proudly said.
