“Myungsoo” a voice calls him as he about to exit the dance studio. “yes?” he replies back politely, those guys were trainee longer him and to survive in this realistic entertainment industry, he could not offend them. The guys wave him over and point at the computer they are using” SM just posted some trainee photo, come take a look at our competitor “. Myungsoo hesitated at this. he saw no point in doing this, the greatest competitor is not others but himself and beside the computer in the dance studio is for official purpose only, not for leisure.” Come “a guy prompted again and he comply this time. Together they scroll through the website. The first few was mostly boy trainee and they discuss their look and if they are going to be a threat to them, soon reach the girl trainee and they discuss if they are beautiful which Myungsoo have no interest in and give little comment. “This girl is beautiful “a guy commented to which the other nod approvingly. Myungsoo attention shifted to the computer at this comment, having zonk out awhile back , he was curious which girl managed to get his “sunbae” to say that she beautiful as they have high standard. A look at the picture on the computer and his breath is taken away “wow “he whispers unknowingly. “you say something?” a guy asks.” huh? “Myungsoo responded still half daze. “ I ask if you say anything” the guy repeated.” Erm .. no … look I need to be somewhere now .. so ..see ya “ Myungsoo stammered and head for the door in a rush.

Myungsoo hand hesitated, his mouse pointer over the website address. should he? His hand clicks on the address. The page loaded and he scroll. He stops at a certain picture. “ Im yoona “ he say and smile. His hand presses a button on his computer. F12.

“what am I doing here again” Myungsoo mumble to himself at his position behind a pillar. Yes, he was hiding behind a bush in a cold winter afternoon. He rubs his hand together, trying to warm himself up. A laugh causes him to look up and the world seem to stop. In front of him was im yoona and she look so much prettier in real life. The photo does her no justice. She was walking alongside a raven hair tanned girl “you should forgive sooyoung , Jessica and hyoyeon unnie by now unnie “ he heard her say , her voice soft and gentle. He watch as the two continue walking while continuing their discussion on “ evil unnie” and shoes in studio

Myungsoo settle at his new favourite spot, the bush at SM Entertainment. He saw his target appearing with her raven hair friend again. He stalked, no, followed them at a safe distance. The two girl smile as a boy appear walking a puppy. Myungsoo smile as he watches her interact with the puppy playfully. He makes a decision right then. He going to like Dog now.

“so … “someone appear beside him and his heart almost stop. The intruder either did not notice or choose to ignore it “what are you doing here?” The intruder, Lee Ho won, a fellow trainee and one of myungsoo best friend continue his statement as he too settles himself comfortably at the bush. “I … I should be the one asking that “Myungsoo retort. Before Ho won can reply, 3 girl stepped out of the building and Myungsoo signal him to be silence. Ho won however almost revealed their location with his muffled laughter. How can he not when the raven hair girl in the middle was imitating a dinosaur and saying defensively that this is a talent just that the company do not know it. “ yuri unnie, yoona unnie do you hear something ? “the girl on the left ask. Both boy held their breath. “no why? you hear something seo ? “the girl on the right reply. “ erm .. guess I misheard anyway yuri unnie you have any place in mind? it your birthday after all “. The raven hair girl smile and put her arm around both girl “follow me “

 

“ Ho won ?”

“ ya appa ? “

“is your food that funny ? why are you smiling ?”
 

Ho won straighten his face “nothing appa , just … erm … I have homework so I will go to my room now “. His parent could only watch as their son stand up and head to his room. In the safety of his room Ho won smile again as he plays with his pen. Noticing his calendar, his hand mark something down on December 5. my crush birthday.

“hey “ Ho won greeted as he slide into the seat beside Myungsoo “ not stalking your crush ?” . Myungsoo huffed “I hate you “. Ho won only smile playfully” likewise “. “sorry everyone our entertainer for today is delayed due to traffic “a woman says to a mic and everyone groaned “I know I know “the woman says trying to calm the crowd down “how about this, anyone want to come up here to entertain us till they can come? their dinner will be on the restaurant? “ . Ho won nudge Myungsoo “hey we are trainee how about we display our skill a little?” “im pretty sure that will be against the policy “ Myungsoo reply “ is there no one? “the woman asks again a little more desperate “come one no need to be shy “. A girl hand raises up suddenly “we will “she pulls a reluctant girl along with her to the small stage. Both were wearing cap. “im pretty sure that will be against the policy” myungsoo hear the girl being drag say. Her voice seems familiar to him. A hand poke him “hey Myungsoo , aren’t they ..our crush ?” howon whisper excitedly and myungsoo blink . That why she was so familiar. The tanned hair girl was trying out a tune on the piano by now almost everybody has gone back to their conversation, not interested in what music this two girls will provide. This change when the doe eye girl started nervously “ Neomu gakka-oon….” Her voice was not the best but it was gentle and have a certain charm to it. Everyone applaud when the duo completes their performance and the two girl bow shyly down.” They are amazing “ howon say , his eye still on the tan girl. Myungsoo could only manage a nod, his eye on the doe eye girl. Just than the real entertainer arrives and the girls step down the stage. Myungsoo and howon was about to approach them but stop when they saw many people crowding around them. The two girl only smile politely and try their best to reach the exit.

“ Myungsoo…” howon say after the performance .He turn to him, his eye serious “ I really want to debut now “ he continue and Myungsoo nodded , agreeing , it their only way to have a chance to reach their crush.

“did we just … we debuted didn’t we?” sooyoung say when they reach their waiting room, her tone disbelieving. “yes “a girl around taeyeon’s height, Lee Soon-kyu, answer her tone similar to sooyoung’s.

“somone pinch me “another girl with English accent, Jung Sooyoun  , say and quickly take it back “ on second thought , it ok , no one pinch me “ .

The 9 girl stare at each other before they hug each other, most crying by now. “we did it .. we debuted “ taeyeon say , breaking the group hug and staring her member one by one “ there no going back now , let all try our best and make SNSD a success”
