(x). Master of All Traits - The Golden

Jiwon's in one of the practice rooms with none other than Lee Taemin when the said boy's phone begins to vibrate loudly on the floor. The tune on the stereo and the tune from his phone mix together, until Jiwon shuts down the radio.

"'eyyy, weren't you supposed to turn that off?" She's quick to complain, even as Taemin arches a brow at the text, seemingly shocked. 

"Sorry, sorry. It's from Kai," Taemin murmurs. 

"You're supposed to be helping me with my dancing. I have an evalutation coming up soon." Jiwon pouts this time, unable to disguise her annoyance.

"Patience, little one," Taemin chuckles, before pocketing his phone. "Turn up the music again. You have to get to work for those course evaluations," he simply says, clapping his hands together twice.

". . . You're not even going to tell me what it says?" Jiwon says in disbelief, mouth slightly agape and head slightly forward to show anticipation.

An almost devious smirk makes its way onto the elder's face. 

"They're debuting a new girl group," Taemin starts. When he sees Jiwon's shocked expression, he arches his brow again. "We're getting your in gear."

(xi). Shining Sun - The Radiant

It's 11:09 when Jinhee gets the text that forces her to rise from her slumber to silence her phone's constant buzzing. When she opens it up, she realizes it's a group chat. She's getting ready to mute it when she realizes that the original sender is Son Seungwan– Wendy.

The two are friends, but Jinhee can't quite figure out why Wendy would start a group chat with her and multiple other trainees. She doesn't think much though as scrolls to the top of the chat, growing more and more confused as she skims the other messages. 

Sooman seongsaeng-nim is debuting a
new girl group! Just thought you girls might
want to know. - SSW

Jinhee's jaw drops as she reads the text message. A lot of questions run through her curious brain. Why is Lee Sooman debuting a group less than two years after Red Velvet? How did Youngmin allow this? What the heck was she going to do for her evaluations now?– she had to impress. . . Would she be able to make it? 

There was one question that was clear to her, though. And that was the last.

(xii). Miss Capable - The Golden

When she hears her best friend's name being called over the PA, Haneul can't exactly stop herself from worrying. Her room is across from the board office, so when Seoyul comes out and simply sinks onto the floor outside with her hands covering her face, Haneul's protective best friend side appears as she rushes out, ignoring her boyfriend Johnny.

"Did they kick you out? Oh my god, do I have to give them a piece of my mind as to why they shouldn't throw you out?" Haneul quickly begins rambling over the sobs of her best friend. Once she stops though, she quickly realizes that Seoyul's sobs are not those of sadness, but of pure joy.

"No, oh gosh, Han, I'm going to debut!" Seoyul says, finally standing up albeit covering her eyes due to her tears.

"They're debuting a new girl group?! They're debuting you?!" Haneul screams back in shock, before grabbing Seoyul's arms with a serious expression overtaking her features. "We're going to debut together," the younger says with evident determination in her eyes as she stares at Seoyul, who sniffles and nods. "Great. Now, wipe your tears, sheesh."

I'm not really sure how to feel about this one, haha. I feel like it's my most well-written one, but I also feel that I didn't capture the personalities of the OCs. It's also really late, so I apologize for that. 
I'm surprised that not that many people went for EXO's Kai as a love interest, but there were sure a number of you who have him down as a friend. Admittedly, I do too, haha.
Honestly, I'm currently choosing for the Radiant right now, since it was the first to be closed and all, but it's definitely quite the struggle. They're all really good and fairly similar, to be completely honest with you. I do apologize for the delay, once again. I have three more teasers to get to after this, hopefully when I'm done with those, I'll have all the characters chosen as well. 
Anyway, I hope you all had a merry Christmas, and I wish you all a happy New Year!
