16 Days before the debut showcase:

When we had a break from practice I took out my phone and searched the internet. I saw there was a new article about us and a smile spread on my face.

The girls of "Peppermint" are working hard towards their debut.

After transforming into cheerleadres in their teaser photos, today the group revealed their tracklist for their debut album.

The album is called "5:25" and it contains six songs.

The title is "Oppa is mine! (so stay away from him..)". The song is an upbeat song that fits summer. The title was chosen by the girls themselves and they are excited to perform it.

A spokesperson from their company said earlier today that the album is versatile and trying to show different colors of the girls in order to show their abilities.

Their debut showcase will be held in July 31st and the album will be released on August 1st.

You can see the tracklist below:

5:25 - Tracklist:

01. Peppermint [Intro]

02. Oppa is mine! (so stay away from him..) [Title]

03. Hunted

04. Dreams

05. Sunshine

06. Mystery Guy

I scrolled down to the comments:

1. [+220, -87] They all look pretty in the pictures.. Do well!

2. [+158, -49] I'll check them out because B.A.P keeps promoting them.

3. [+143, -42] One of them is a really good singer. And the blonde one is cute.

4. [+87, -30] I watched a dance video they did in their v-app.. They are actually good.

5. [+79, -28] What's with the top comments? Did their company pay for all this nice comments? In the last article about them everyone made fun of their name and their looks.. Where did all those people go?

6. [+75, -25] Urg another cute popish song.. I expected something similar to B.A.P's concept.. Something more badass.

7. [+60, -40] AOA copycats

8. [+54, -35] What's with the song name? And they chose it themselves hahaha

9. [+38, -27] Who are they?

10. [+22, -10] Cheerleaders? hahaha Do they think they have the body for it? It looks ridiculous.

Well, at least we have a few positive comments now.. It's an improvement.

"Hyeri.." Eun Hee approached me.

"What is it?" I put my phone away and looked at her curiously.

"We are going to do the v-app.. We said we'll show our dorm since our fans wanted to see it."

"Oh, right.. I forgot." I blushed.

"Let's go." she smiled.

~

"Are you ready? One, two, three.." I counted.

"Hello, we are Peppermint and we are going to refresh your day!" we greeted and bowed.

"In our last v-app we asked what you want us to do and a lot of you wanted to see our dorm.." Sey started talking.

"So here we are." Yujin said, smiling brightly.

"We will show you around in a bit." Sumi said.

"But first, I wanted to apologize for making you worry. I am fine now and I am practicing hard. All of us." I said and bowed.

"You changed your hair colors!" Eun Hee read one of the comments.

"Right. Our refresheners are so good at paying attention to details!" Yujin exclaimed.

"We changed our hair for our debut.. This is the first time we are showing it since the teaser pictures you saw were taken before that." Sey explained.

"How about we show it properly? Let's do like a runway show." Sumi offered.

"Let's do it!" the other girls agreed. I hesitated at first, but I don't really have a choice but to go along with it.

"Hyeri, go first." Sey said and pointed at the improvised runway that was our hallaway.

"Alright." I made my way to the end of the hallway that was the start of our 'runway'.

"Hyeri has a red hair color that compliments her pale skin." Yujin was the narrator. I turned around, flipping my hair. The other girls started laughing and clapping. I finished my walk with a bow.

"Next is Eun Hee, who has a brown-orange hair. It compliments her eyes." Yujin continued explaining when it was Eun Hee's turn.

"Now we have the beautiful Sey." It was my turn to narrate. "Her black hair is decorated with purple at the edges, adding some color to her look."

"As you can see, Yujin cut her hair short and she has bangs now. Her brown hair turned to a mixture of black and blue, and she is really pretty now." Eun Hee said.

"And last is Sumi who is like a real life barbie. Her blonde hair is decorated with light rainbow colors at the edges, adding playfulness to her look." Eun Hee finished and Sumi batted her eyelashes, flipped her hair and winked to the camera. I have to admit she is good at eagyo.

"Let's show them our dorm, that's why we are here." Sey said.

"RIght." I said and took the phone from her, going to the entrance. The girls followed me there. "We live close to the company.. We have the male trainees from the compny who live upstairs. It's nice to have them as neighbours although we can't really spend a lot of time with them because we are busy."

"Where is B.A.P?" Yujin read the first comment she saw.

"B.A.P lives in a different building, in the opposite direction from the company. Their dorm is nicer than ours." Eun Hee answered quickly.

"Don't misunderstand, we don't go there often." I hurried to explain to prevent misunderstandings. "I think we were there only once or twice. Truth is that the dorms are kind of out of limits for everyone at the company.. We only see them at the company or outside."

"Right." the girls nodded enthusiastically, although I caught them looking at me and Sey from time to time. I understand why they are looking at Sey, but why am I part of this? I was actually there only on Yongguk's birthday..

"So, this is the entrance and we want to show you our kitchen." Sey said and started filming the way to the kitchen.

"We have a lot of pictures of us on the fridge and also schedules, shopping list and our house work roster." she explained while filming the fridge door.

"All of us are doing all the chores in rotation except for Eun Hee who is not doing laundry because she keeps ruining our clothes." Yujin said.

"That's true. She once turned our clothes to pink because she didn't seperate the white clothes from the colored ones.. So now we are using them as pajamas." Sumi said, and Eun Hee started to blush.

"And Sumi doesn't cook because she almost burned the house down the last time she tried cooking.." I said.

"True." the girls agreed.

"Who is the best cook?" Sey read a comment.

"Hyeri!" The girls said together.

"But we rarely enjoy her food. She always cook a lot of food, but then she give it to others." Yujin pouted.

"Yah!" I scolded, afraid she will say something that can get us in trouble like exposing my relationship with Yongguk.

"It's true!" she argued. "You always give food to the male trainees, to B.A.P and to the staff, so we barely have anything left." she whined and I was relieved. My secret is safe for now..

"I promise to cook more for you." I smiled.

"Hyeri noona, give me food." Sumi read a comment.

"Who wrote that?" I asked because I didn't see the screen. The ones who usually call me noona are Zelo, Jongup and Youngjae.

"Zelo.." she answered.

"Zelo-ya, I'll cook your favorite. I'll bring the boys food tomorrow for lunch." I smiled.

"Let's have a company meal at lunch if you are already cooking.." Sey exclaimed and I started to blush. It's one thing to cook for six people and it's a different thing to cook for twenty people. That girl.. So much for being my best friend. Is she really on my side?

"Yeah, let's do that!" Eun Hee called and the other girls joined as well.

"Noona is the best!" Zelo commented. I'm screwed. How am I supposed to practice, buy the ingredients and cook everything? I can't duplicate myself.

"How about we do a v-app tomorrow as well? We'll do it with B.A.P and the trainees and the staff as well. Like a company broadcast." Sumi offered.

"Sounds great!" Yujin agreed and the other girls nodded.

~

Meanwhile, not so far from there, Jinu and B.A.P's manager were watching the broadcast in Jinu's office.

"Why are we letting them do that without supervision?" Jinu sighed.

"You are their manager, why are you asking me?" B.A.P's manager retorted.

"Are the boys free tomorrow at noon?"

"Trust them to make time for food even if they are busy.." the manager snorted. "But the girls have schedules, don't they?"

"Not anymore, apparently." Jinu sighed. "They are lucky it's only practice in the company and not schedules outside."

"At least we get to eat tasty food.." B.A.P's manager tried to cheer him up while drooling at the thought of Hyeri's cooking. "Yongguk is lucky. He probably eats it all the time.."

"I'm starting to think I'm being too easy on them.. They are practically doing whatever they want all the time." Jinu sighed.

"They are good kids and hard workers. Let them have some fun.. They need it. I'm sure they'll work hard afterwards."

~

"After we settled our plans for tomorrow's lunch, let's continue our tour." Sey said happily.

"This is our living room.." Eun Hee explained. "When we have time we watch movies together or just hang out here, but lately we barely have time to be here since we are always practicing.. We come to the dorm only to eat, shower and sleep."

"Or some of us just stay at the company all night.." Sumi commented. She looked at me, but I ignored it and pretended like I didn't notice. Why do I feel like it wasn't an innocent comment and like it referred for me and Yongguk?

"Practice is important." I smiled. Let's pretend it was an innocent comment until I can figure out her intention.

"You should know.." she mumbled quietly. I glared at her but tried not to make it obvious since it was filmed.

"Next is our bedroom.." I heard Yujin's voice. I guess it's the most intresting room.. Luckily I don't have anything related to Yongguk there beside a shishimato doll, and I have an 'innocent' excuse for that. I did own it before I got accepted to TS..

"As you can see, we sleep in bunk beds." Sey started talking. "I sleep over here." she filmed her bed, "And Hyeri sleeps above me." she filmed my bed.

"I sleep here." Yujin said and filmed her bed on top of one of the bunk beds. "Eun Hee sleeps beneath me, and Sumi sleep on the lower bed in the last bunk bed." she finished explaining.

"Actually, Eun Hee, Sey and Sumi are here the longest." I said. "Yujin came afterwrds and took one of the upper beds and I arrived last, that's why I'm sleeping above Sey."

"There was a lot of trainees who left.." Eun Hee mumbled. "I trained the longest, so I've seen a lot of them leave." she said bitterly.

"Who is the most messy person?" Sey read a comment, trying to lighten up the atmoshpere.

"Yujin." we said together.

"No, I'm not!" she argued.

"She leaves her stuff everywhere, and when she cooks it takes hours to clean after her since she leaves things all over the place." Sumi complained.

"I'm improving!" Yujin claimed.

"Right." I scoffed and she pouted.

"It's okay, we still love you." Sey hugged her.

"Next question from our fans - Does anyone snore?" Sumi read the comment.

"Hyeri!" The all pointed at me and I started to blush.

"I don't snore!" I argued. "I do sleep talk sometimes, but I don't snore."

"You are not only talking in your sleep.." Sumi teased and the other girls started to laugh.

"What does that mean?" I asked. I hope she is not talking about that one dream..

"Oppa!" she said in a high pitched voice, trying to imitate me. . I had a feeling she is trying to do something dirty.. I guess the good thing is that she used 'oppa' instead of Yongguk's name.. Maybe she has a little sense after all.

"Hyeri had a dream once.." Eun Hee started talking.

"They don't need to know that!" I covered quickly so she'll stop talking.

"She had a nightmare so she was screaming in her sleep." Sey explained, saving me from utter embarrassment. As long as the other girls stick to the nightmare version and not the real version..

"If it was a nightmare, why did she call for oppa?" Yujin asked innocently. My face was beyond red right now.

"Because maybe he appeared in her dream and she wanted prince charming to save her?" Eun Hee tried to answer without telling the truth.

"What prince charming?" I hit their heads. The last thing I need right now is people thinking I have some kind of prince charming in real life. It's not good for our image and it will get me and Yongguk in big trouble with the CEO. "Stop believing in fairy tales, they don't come true."

"They did for you." Yujin said and the girls cooed. This is so frustrating.. I need to change the topic before they'll reveal more embarrassing things about me..

"I have something to show!" I said and went to one of my drawers. When I found what I was looking for I showed it to the camera. "When I was promoting the song with Yongguk I got my first fan gift. I don't know if the girl that gave it to me is watching, but I just wanted to tell you I'm still keeping it and it made me happy that day and I'm thankful for it. I still have your key chain and doll as well." I showed them to the camera. "And the two people who baught me chocolates when I was at the hospital, I keep your fan letters as well and I ate the chocolates well. I'm thankful for everything and I keep all the things you give me." I finished my short speech and bowed.

"That's so sweet!" Yujin beamed.

"Should we show them the bathroom? I think it's the only room left." Eun Hee offered.

"There is not much to see there, but let's do it." Sey said and started walking.

"Oh, wait!" Sumi called. "They want to see our closet for some reason." she said and Sey came back to us.

"Well, we share most of our clothes." I said. "We are about the same size, so it's comfortable. But everyone has their own style, so it doesn't always work."

"Who is the fashion terrorist and who is the fashionista in the group?" Yujin read a comment.

"The fashionista is Sumi and the fashion terrorist is Hyeri." Eun Hee said and the rest agreed.

"Stop putting all the bad things on me!" I whined. "I'm not a fashion terrorist! I can dress nicely as well."

"It's not that she really choose ugly clothes, it's just that Hyery doesn't care about her looks, so she can wear whatever without paying too much attention to it and go to broadcast without makeup and with messy hair." Sey explained.

"She cares only when she goes to see B.A.P." Sumi teased and I glared at her. How did this stream bacame a 'let's make fun of Hyeri and try to mention Yongguk all the time without really mentioning him' stream?

"No, she doesn't care even then." Sey said. "I won't be surprised if she goes to the company in pajamas because it's comfortable."

"You are the one that left the house in pajamas as far as I remember.." I .

"That wasn't a real pajamas tho.. I don't wear sets like you." she argued.

"My pajamas are too precious to be seen by just anyone, so there is no way I'm leaving the house wearing it." I stuck my tongue out.

"Then there are five people that saw you wearing pajamas?" Sumi pondered. Why is she trying to test me all the time?

"Four people. It's only you who saw it." I corrected her. It's not a lie unless you consider the night gawn Zico made me wear.. But that wasn't my pajamas.

"I think Hyeri dresses in a pretty way." Eun Hee read Zelo's comment.

"You see?!" I exclaimed. "Stop blaming me for everything!" I pouted.

"Alright, you cry baby." Sumi teased.

"But seriously, Hyeri does have pretty clothes. She just puts less effort in her appearance compared to the rest of us. She is more natural looking." Sey explained and I sighed in relief. At least I won't have the fashion terrorist tag attached to me, just the lazy dresser one.

"Let's go to our bathroom!" Yujin said and started going there.

"It's just a normal shower.. Nothing weird or unusual. But it's a bother in the mornings and late at night when we get back to the dorm because everyone wants to shower and brush their teeth." Eun Hee said.

"We usually play rock-paper-scissors to determine the order." I added.

"And Sumi always lose." Sey .

"Because you are cheaters!" Sumi pouted.

"Stop being ridiculous.. There is no way all of us cheat. You are just bad at it." Sey retorted.

"Meanie."

"This is the last time I'm letting them do this by themselves." Jinu said, frustrated. "What are they doing?"

"Didn't you tell them already how to behave in front of cameras?" B.A.P's manager pondered.

"I did tell them, but you see it's useless. They do whatever they want at the end." Jinu sighed and started massaging his temples.

"Let's hope people won't get the wrong idea from this stream.."

"Right."

"Well, at least there aren't many people watching.." B.A.P's manager tried to cheer him up.

"Yeah, at least that." Jinu sighed.

~

"The bathroon was the last room. How about we go sit in the living room? It's more spacious." I offered.

"That's a good idea." the other girls agreed and we settled on the couch in our living room.

"We hope you enjoyed the tour in our small dorm and that you had a chance to get to know us a little better." Yujin said, smiling.

"Maybe next time we'll do questions and answers.." Eun Hee offered.

"Sounds great!" we agreed.

"We had fun spending time with you, and we will see you tomorrow at lunch since Hyeri is cooking!" Sey beamed and patted my back.

"Yes, yes. I am cooking. Dear company staff, if there is something you like to eat please let me know so I can prepare it for you." I said.

 "I want bibimbap!" Sumi said.

"I want fried chicken!" Eun Hee said.

"You got a message.." my phone signaled I had a new message. I looked at the screen and saw a message from Himchan.

"What is it?" Sey asked when I opened the message.

"Himchan just gave me a list on behalf of B.A.P." I answered.

"Well, I think it's a good time to stop. It's getting late and we still need to practice aftrwards." Yujin said.

"Let's say our goodbyes.." I said and we stood up. "One, two, three.."

"We are Peppermint and we are going to refresh your day!" We greeted and turned the camera off, ending the stream.

~

"What the hell?" I exclaimed while flopping down on the couch.

"What?" Sumi asked innocently.

"Why were you trying to frame me and Yongguk? And why would you mention that dream?"

"I wasn't trying to frame you.." she said inncoently. "And it was just funny to remember it."

"Then what about the meal? We have practice tomorrow."

"Jinu will forgive you since it was our fault and not yours and you are the company's princess. Besides, he won't say anything if B.A.P agreed since we can't cancel it now and it can help us get popular if we use B.A.P."

"Stop being rude and take advantage of them. They don't have to promote us."

"But they want to." she argued. "Besides, it's only lunch. Chill."

"Forget it." I sighed and got up, heading towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Sey asked.

"I don't know, I need some fresh air." I said and walked out, slamming the door behind me.

Author's Note:

Long chapter :)

It's not a good day for Hyeri.. :P

References for what the girs talked about (just in case you don't remember..):

- The first fan gift Hyeri recieved is mentioned in chapter 49.

- The girls made fun of Hyeri because of her adult dream.. I mentioned it in chapter 58.

- The pajamas Sey wore outside their dorm were Himchan's clothes she wore when they went to rescue Hyeri from the hotel. I mentioned it in chapter 73.

I guess next chapter will be the lunch..

I'm not sure if this kind of chapters are helpful or not.. There might be a couple more chapters like this in the future.

Thanks for reading, commenting and subscribing! It means a lot to me <3
