💙 INTERLUDE: "THE BADDEST"

KARRIE "AKALI JHOMEN TETHI" 

BluMuon Company was a simple dance company that fulfills their wishes to learn and improve to dance and famously in the home country for the members consist of KPOP Cover dancers and other choreographies in each genre. LunariA was the 4-member girl cover group that represents the cover dances of the famous virtual kpop group "K/DA" with its member names as their cover stage names. They consist of their leader Arisa (Ahri), Evangelina (Evelynn), Krisha (Kai'sa), and Karrie (Akali). The youngest Akali was their new member during their cover dance debut in the small competitions until they continue to compete in every dance event and won several awards include the championship for the small group category. Akali was also a senior college student who will be soon-graduate and her family was moved to Vancouver, Canada except herself due to her current teaching for the new students. She also is known to be "The baddest" not only because of her fashion style but also her cunning aura and smart sense.

On a peaceful day at the practice room, Their manager named Claire had a meeting regards their new schedule and groups to be formed and compete with other events. "Ms. Manager is surely busy these days since many applicants will be joining in our company and trainees will be debut soon," Eva said while eyes on her cellphone typing some messages. Ari sighed and looking at the documents of the new applicants. "It could be difficult too since some students who trained here for 2-3 months were already left due to management's neglection on it and focus on the famous group" She added before the youngest latter came to them. "Got messy again?" Karrie asked and the leader passes the thick folder to her. "See it for yourself, kid" Ari sighed and shooking her head. The Youngest takes it and scans all of the applicants for soon-to-be debut on cover kpop group. "Weird, These applicants won't debut for this" Her words make them shook and turn to the latter. "Why did you say so, Karrie?". "My suggestion was to put them on evaluation. I observe them silently if they work hard on practicing or neglecting it for some reason. As cover dancers, They should have sharp skills in their steps. We can't just score them by judging their looks but also to put determination and moves on it with the good feelings as if they're real idols too" the latter said as Eva smirked at her. "Well, I like the spirit of this kid that's why the managers and the CEO choose her. Why don't we do that, Ari? Since we also had experienced this too when we are trainees too" she said and Ari let a small relief to them. "Call Krish first. We should settle this too since were also teachers for them too" Ari commanded as Karrie went to the second floor which was their dormitory for them. "Looks like it's time for them to know" Eva commented. "Eva, We should give them honest words too even they took it a challenge or sending them home. Few rumors told about this company about the evaluation lead them to send home in force. We didn't do that too" Ari said before Krisha butts in between them. "Some of them were busy themselves not for some dance lessons". "I high agree with it" Karrie answered. "Let's give them a sudden announcement for all trainees about the evaluation to know if they work harder or not" Ari said before they agree and proceed to the lobby area.

>> A FEW DAYS LATER<<

Karrie came out from her dorm room and saw the eliminated trainees after their evaluation exam for their final line of coverist debut as they went to her room outside. "If you just blaming the instructors for not entering the final line up. Think about yourselves first" she said. "But Ms.Karrie! Why didn't you appreciate our hard work!?" Shelly said as they glare towards their teacher. She got startled at first then calms herself down before she speaks to them. "I did. But we doubt your skills. So, we put every trainee for the evaluation to see your hard work. I've been observing you guys for so long since you step in here into this company. You were actually nothing but concerning about your face and being fancy. Being a trainee for a coverist wasn't a joke, you should have determination, hard work, and potential for yourself. Someone reported me that you guys busy partying yourself than practicing all night. Is that what you called a coverist dancer?" She said as watching them looking down and didn't speak back to her. "If you want to be a dancer like LunariA, Ms. Grazie, and Zeluox. You need to see your determination from your fall and try again. We won't tolerate slackers no matter what." Karrie said as she walks away and all the trainees were looking at each other to talk about it. "I see you did encourage to eliminate trainees instead of scolding them," Krisha said while standing at the door of the meeting room. "Every one potential has its own skill to show it to the world," Karrie answered as reach her hand to caress the pendant on her belt chains. A sunflower pendant. "That pendant..." Krisha whispered as the youngest nodded silently. "Back at America in the warm autumn of the thanksgiving parade, It was a parting gift for me after separating to our friend. Promising that he will do his best to reach the top" She smiled. "You were a little trainee before when we took a dancing workshop for improvement and you met that handsome giant before revealing himself as an idol. He really wants to see you shine on stage soon." Krisha said as Karrie looks at the sunny sky and eyes on the small airplane. "Improvement, Huh?......" She whispered.  

>>A MONTH LATER<< 

LunariA joined the kpop cover championship along with the other BlueMuon coverist group in each category. At the dressing room, Claire came to the girls who were busy preparing themselves. "Girls, We got huge news! It's from our CEO." Eva came out of the changing room and calms her down. "Please go on" Arisa calm their manager too. "The 3rd and 4th gen artist from SM entertainment will be visiting our country since they're on hiatus too and will watch you guys performance on special stage from BlueMuon company!" She stated as they were in shock especially to young Akali who was now speechless. "Karrie, this means...." Krisha said as the youngest cover her mouth. "Yes, NCT will come here too! " She said excitedly. Arisa smiled knowing what the youngest means. "Karrie, I wish you the best for the special stage. You too, Krish" She comfort them as they nodded. "Let's give our fans a huge impact of bang~," Eva said in a seducing tone and they encircled together for a cheer before they going to backstage. "Karrie, wear this" Arisa said as she gives a pop/star Akali mask to her. "What was that mask for, Ari unnie?" the youngest asked. "Do you want to surprise your friend? To see your improvements?" She asked before Karrie take the face mask and wear it on to her. 

 It was LunariA's turn to perform "The Baddest" on stage together. Their fans cheer for them and the rest were amazed to see them for their performance with charms and charisma. The visitors came on time; It was none other than SM ent. Artist: EXO, SUPERM, ÆSPA, and NCT. "Whoa, The girl with the scary mask got her charismatic move!" æspa member winter said. "Who were they?" NCT leader Taeyong asked. "BlueMuon Company's Charismatic Rookie who covered K/DA: LunariA. They're the strongest group since 2018 and with the addition of the last member who was a 98 liner. They grew big and popular in the coverist world." SM Ceo Lee Sooman explained to them. "Might be...That mask kid could be the new and last member who perfectly portrays as Akali." EXO/SuperM Baekhyun said. One of the members from NCT got amazed and later on, smiling widely as eyes focus on Karrie. "She grew so well and cool...." He mumbled. 

Later that time, The chosen dancers from other dance companies dressed in white and gold in different styles came out to perform a special stage before the awarding ceremony. All SM artists were stunned to see them perform until it ends. "Good work, Kiddo!" Eva cheered as Karie and Krisha came back to their dressing room after the performance. "Thanks, Eva," Krisha said. "They came to watch the competition. I mean all 3rd and 4th gen of SM artist" Claire said making the two of them shocked. "For Real!?" Krisha & Karrie shouted in sync. "One of them were stunned especially to Karrie," Eva said. "Karrie's Charisma was no joke on stage, Eva~," Arisa said jokingly. "You've gotta be kidding me unnie!" Karrie embarrassed. "Well fix ourselves, girls. We need to prepare for the award" Claire said and they prepare again for the ceremony. LunariA won 3 awards: "Best Sync Choreography", "Most popular group" & "21st-century rookie" and Karie won individual as "MVP Dancer of the year" and the event was done with a glorious encore with other kpop coverist groups.
