"Phew, it's been a while!"
I'm standing in front of the JYPe headquarter. I look up at the sky with both of my hands hanging on my waist. It's a really tall and beautiful building. It used to be just another building but now it's the part of my life. It's so meaningful for me. I have so many stories related to this building. But, you know, I'm not the one who feels like that. There are also staffs, workers, and... Trainees! They are what I'm going to meet today. They asked me to give a little class about being an idol, 'cheering them up' kind of thing. Hmm, I can't wait to meet them! I wonder what kind of people are the trainees of JYPe these days. I also already know some of them. I'd love to meet them again.

"Morning, Haeju-ssi," the ladies from the front desk greet me. I greet them politely while walking to them. We have a little chit-chat since I'm not in hurry. They're so friendly to me and I try hard to be one as well. Looking at them smiling at me makes me feel energetic. Ohh, what a good way to start a day!
I walk in the hallway to get into the lift. While waiting for the lift to open, there's a girl coming forward. I know her. Definitely know her. Lica, my ex-crush...
Kim Angelica is her full Korean name. She's half-Chinese and half-American. She has been a trainee since I joined JYPe for the first time. I used to be still very bad at social interacting, so there was a little misunderstanding between us.

I was interested with her because I thought Lica was a really unique girl. She was so friendly but in a really weird way. She smiled to everyone that, sometimes, that was her answer for other people's questions. Yes, she just replied to people with her infamous wide smile. Lica was also a dependent girl. She wasn't just clingy and so touchy to her friends, hugging and laying her head on anyone's shoulder. She was also often found accompanied by other trainees, boys or girls, when she was in a problem. I don't know, at least that was what I heard about her. People couldn't depend on her. 
It was weird why I liked her. At one moment, we were practicing together for the first time. There were only two us left in the room. We didn't talk much but that was the first time she smiled at me. She was smaller than me. White, young, and pretty, although looked kinda messy after dancing. I looked at her eyes. I never saw those kinds of gaze before.
She was a really innocent girl. Helpless. She has so many problems in her life. Drama. People couldn't understand her, just like me...
She was one of a kind. "I will never meet anyone like her," that was what I thought when she called my name. I felt like my empty heart was suddenly fulfilled. It was weird but that was the first time I met someone as special as her. She was born special, I believe. "I want to get close to this girl," I told myself.
That was the first time I wanted to be a friend with someone so badly!

She's coming closer! Oh no, what should I do? She's obviously avoiding eye contact with me (even after all this time, sigh...) I guess things stay the same. But I decided to greet her bravely. "Hi, Lica!" I show my brightest smile that I have. The smile that's inspired by her. I just wanna show her the happiness that hopefully influence her.
She looks at me.
She looks annoyed.
She passes by without saying anything.
I'm not surprised...
I'm kinda sad because I know it's all my fault. I used to tell some people that I 'like' her and somehow she got that information. But she misunderstood it that I wanted her in a romantic way. It was never clear 'why' but since then, she always avoided me. I used to have a very poor social skill and, honestly, not sure what to do. I tried to talk to her but she never responded. Yeah, it's sad indeed but at the same time, I understand why she does that. You know what, I can understand her mind. I can feel what she feels. Like a child that's angry to her mom because not getting the toy that she really wants. Yeah... It's complicated but it's acceptable. Ohh, I just hope Sana is here to see her quirkiness.

"Uww... She's just so arrogant and cute at the same time, isn't she, Sana-ya! How can I not like her even more?"

I arrive at the assigned floor.
I open the hall's door and welcomed by Jhinae. Oh wow, I'm kinda surprised because I don't expect her to be here. I know that she's now a mentor in JYPe, but I don't expect to have to face her again like this. It's so relieving that she's so friendly to me. So casual and professional. I hope she has forgiven anything used to happen between the two of us...
"Oh Haeju! Finally, you're here..." she says as soon she looks at me. She's preparing something when open the door, leaving that and coming closer as I'm coming in. "How are you?" she asks.
"I'm fine, Jhinae-ssi," I take a deep breath secretly before continuing my sentence, "It's been a while, isn't it?"
"Yes," she answers along with a smile. "You're doing well. I'm proud of you," she says.
"Aww, thanks~ I'm glad that you join JYPe. I hope they treat you well," I say.
"Oh, they did!"
"Great great... I heard they got a good and beautiful rap mentor," I compliment her.
"Haha thank you... Well, look at you now! Twice, who can predict that?"
"I KNOW RIGHT!!! Honestly, Jhinae, I'm just so lucky. I'm so grateful! I'm also happy that, well among the other members, you still can survive and be successful like this," I tell her.
"Sure, Haeju. I'm happy as well for you. By the way, are you ready for the lecture?" she asks me.
"Yes, anytime, Jhinae-ssi."
After asking that, Jhinae leaves me and comes back setting up the mic and stuff. Min Jhinae was always one of the best members in my girl group debut. Yeah, that my girl group that failed miserably... She used to be our main rapper when I was the leader of the group. Jhinae was a tough and strict girl back there and I used to be a cold and ambitious person, that was why we didn't get along most of the time. My relationship with her was so intense. Everyone knew that we didn't match to each other since the beginning. But deep down, I know Jhinae is a good person. It's just her style that I don't like. We're just two different persons.

But that doesn't mean she's not special for me. From her, I learn many things as well. I hate her.
I hate her because I love her so much!

After the setting is ready, I take the mic and start talking to the trainees. I'm happy that I get a positive and enthusiast feedback from them. They're all so nice and passionate. I hope all of them will be a successful person in the future. Talking in front of my hoobaes like this remind me of how I always look up to people. Jeongyeon is the one that the other members always depend on and I always trust her on anything, including making hard decisions. I always come to her if I have a problem that I can't figure it out by myself. I always observe how she treats her works and the people around her. But now as there are some people that look up to me, I think I should work harder so I can be a good role model for them. I don't want to disappoint them!

The class ends in the late afternoon. After saying bye to everyone, I decided to go to the rooftop of the building. It's been a long time since I do this. I miss it.
I enter the elevator and press the number 14. There are some people there that greet me. But then on the 8th floor, an unexpected person comes in. It's Oh Hanna!
"Hannaaaa!!!"
"Haejuuuuu!!!"
We hug each other excitingly. It's been a while since I meet her, it's so exciting. Do you know the feeling when you're just so happy all of sudden? That feeling when you think you can't be happier but it turns out you can. I feel even happier when she says that she has a free time at the moment.
"Wanna go to the rooftop and see a sunset with me?"
"Sure!"

Hanna is an angel.
Everyone says so. After I debut with Twice, Once gave me a nickname 'angel' but I really don't deserve that. Hanna deserves it better. She is.

Hanna works at the album pacakaging and distribution department of 2 pm. She's younger than me by a year, but she's way smaller than me. Hanna has a darker skin than me, kinda tanned, makes her looks so sweet. She's wearing red upper today, with a long dark brown skirt that she likes. Her hair is still not longer than her shoulder, like always. From afar, Hanna looks sooo modest. But that's not the only thing that makes her special.
I know her since the first time I was registered to JYPe. She used to be a trainee. Yeah, just like me! I will admit that she doesn't have the best singing skill at the time, but she was a dreamer. I was close to her for the first time when my depression relapsed. I sat on the hallway alone, looking blankly at the floor. I didn't consume my medicine anymore because I wanted to fight the depression without it. At that moment, I felt so weak and sorrow. I remember that I felt like nothing made sense. All that I did was useless. I lost hope. People who passed by asking me if I were okay but I faked it and smiled at them. I didn't want to meet anyone that day. I was so weak that I couldn't bring myself back to home, or even moved an inch. It was so miserable! Until my life was saved by a hand. Hanna sat beside me and held my hand. I raised my head and looked at her. "It's okay. I'm here for you," she said generously.

"Cheer up, Haeju-ya!" she says when we enter the rooftop. I just finished whining about my life all the way to this place, as usual. The pattern is always like that between us. I cry about a lot of things that happen in my life, being such a drama about it. She always tries to be positive and sounds so awkwardly too nice. Fighting is her favorite word and she most likely says that to any of your problems. Even when you don't have a problem but you look kinda down, she will say it as well. Just that. With a really genuine smile from her pretty face. She always says yes to you and she always tries to help when you ask her a favor. She's so kind-hearted that's almost like a robot. So generous. Too nice. Too sweet!
The sky already turns red. Seoul's buildings are painted red because of it. So am I. Red. The very same color that Hanna wears today. Knowing her personality, I think she's really a great influencer. She dedicates her life to help people and be nice to them. I'd love to see people are affected by her kindness. Maybe this cruel world can be changed after all. If only everyone is as nice as Hanna...
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"Mhm!"
"I miss you, Hanna..."
"Aww, I miss you too!" she says cheerfully.
I look at the sun that's almost drowned completely. The sky is going to become the cold and dark night sky again. Suddenly, Hanna grabs my hand. It's warm. She saves me one more time.

I suddenly remember my best 9 friends. "Tzuyu, where are the other unnies? Are they doing well today?" I whisper to myself, 
I just met three amazing people today, Tzuyu-ya. I'd love to introduce them to you and all the members. I hope you guys will like them hihi! Lica is an innocent and 4-dimensional girl, Jhinae is tough and dependable, and Hanna is the selfless angel. Just like the feverant sunset that has stained me red, I think three of them will bring some new colors to the group.

Yes or yes: would you like to meet them?

(a/n) FYI, three of them are some friends that I know irl :)
