━ { forever and always

TMs. Lee smiled to herself as she watched the girls rehearse through the glass wall, turning to head to her classroom she glanced at the large wall monitor across from the stairs to see a compilation of videos of the 2007 Battle playing. She pried her eyes away as five girls poured their hearts on the stage, realising this year would be the 10 year anniversary of her first showcase. Walking up the red metal stairs she felt memories flood her mind. 

"Sooyoung! The list being posted!" Sunye called as the clumsy contury girl entered the school, running to stand with the other vocalist. They waited for some people to clear before they went up to the list looking for their group name, Stardust, to see it out. The thick line indecated they were no longer battling, they had lost.

It was then, when Sooyoung became isolated from her "friends" and grup mates. With a sigh she walked into her classroom, turning on the lights and heading to her desk.

"Oh, Sooyoung! There you are!" A girl that everyone knew as Taeyeon of Girls Generation now, sat next to the other whom slamed her notebook shut. "I heard the teachers praising your lyric writing. I was wondering if you would help my group out this year." She asked, Sooyoung was never one to trust someone with a youthful face. But, she did anyways.

Ms. Lee opened her computer as she sat at her desk, an email notification popping up.

"Girls! This is our songwriter, Lee Sooyoung she is a Year 2. And this is everyone." Taeyeon said, smiles on their faces, Sooyoung bowed before heading to the recording studio where the producer was. 

A picture from the 2007 Final Showcase came up, her, along with nine other girls. Sighing again she closed her computer.
 

"Uh. Sorry, I know you are probably busy." Sooyoung said, opening the small studio door. Her dance teacher stood in the room leaning over a male student as they edited songs.

"It's okay. Um, your the writer, right?" The student asked as she closed the door quietly, as their teacher smiled at her.

"Uh, yeah. I'm Lee Sooyoung, Year 2." She said as she looked around the space, and slowly walked around.

"Cool, I'm a Year 4, so I'm only accepting sunbae or oppa." He said as he turned to face her, at that moment she knew she would never be able to call him oppa.

Reaching behind her to grab a binder, setting it on her desk. Opening te small binder, pictures of her and the producer covered several pages. Even then she was drawn to him, but, hopelessly in love with him. Ending on the last picture his name etched into the paper over and over.
