Next morning, Inhye was up first and prepare breakfast for everyone. Second to wake up is Yuri who usually makes breakfast. Seeing Inhye, she got a shock. 

Inhye. What are you doing?Yuri exclaimed.
What do you think I am doing? Making breakfast of course.Inhye roll her eyes.
I can do it. You just go and rest.Yuri taking over the task.
Pack one breakfast up. I will bring it down to Chika.Inhye said as she proceeds to shower.
Chika? She is down in the studio already?Yuri asked when Inhye came out of the showers.
She spent the entire night there.Inhye sighed as she sat down at the dinning table.
Nana and Jieun, who just walk out, heard that.
Oh both of you are up? Go shower, breakfast will be ready soon.Yuri noticed them and smiled. 

Shortly after Inhye left, Nana and Jieun came out of the shower room. That is also when Takako wake up. Yawning, she noticed that Chika and Inhye missing. Giving Yuri a question look, 

Inhye went down to studio to give Chika her breakfast.Yuri explained.
Takako sighed, Long night in the studio again I suppose.
Yuri nodded. On their way down to the studio, Nana and Jieun were talking behind.
Ne, does Chika neechan always overwork herself?Jieun ask in concern.
Nana pats her head, Chika nee only ask for perfection, nothing less than that. That is why she works so hard.
Oh. How long has Chika neechan been training?Jieun ask out of curious.
Chika nee has been a dancer since 4. Training to be a singer at your age.Nana smiled. 

Jieun eyes widen. They have arrived at their company. Heading off to the studio only to find Chika dancing with their choreographer. Jieun immediately felt a pang of jealousy. 

Oh you came?Inhye came behind them.
Where did you go?Yuri asked suspicious.
Oh went to check on our new trainee.Inhye answered, not meeting anyone’s eyes.
Chika smiled knowing where did she go, So let’s start. Wooyoung arrived yesterday night.
Hi, let’s go through the performance again, and then I shall see what is still lacking.Wooyoung smiled. 

15 minutes, leaving behind Jieun and Nana to practice their steps with Wooyoung. While Takako and Chika head off to their Korean classes, Yuri to vocal classes. Inhye sneak off to watch the new trainee yet again. The new trainee name Kim Jaejoong, formerly a model in many clothes line. He auditioned for the company to be a singer after he finished up his last model job. 

He is having vocal lessons when Inhye drop by. Seeing at him through the door’s small window makes her looks like some stalker. A small tap on her shoulder giving her a shock. 

Junsu! You scared me.Inhye nearly shouted.
Kim Junsu chuckled, What on earth are you doing Inhye? I don’t think DIAMOND is in this vocal class.
What about you then?Inhye asked, not wanting to show weakness.
Me? I am the new manager for Kim Jaejoong.Junsu smiled proudly.

Junsu nodded, In a few months time, he will be recording his debut single next month.
Wow that is fast, he just came in not long ago after all.Inhye was impressed.
Yes, but he has been on-going vocal trainings since young, hence not much preparation needed for him.Junsu replied. 

Just then the door opened, surprising both Junsu and Inhye. 

Duck ! You came! Jaejoong slap Junsu’s upon seeing him.
Junsu immediately turn red. Inhye got a shock.
Hi, my name is Hamasaki Inhye, manager of DIAMOND. Inhye introduce herself.
Oh hi. So why are you here? Jaejoong briefly greet and started to walk off with Junsu. 

Inhye pouted briefly seeing such cold reaction from Jaejoong, before she head off to see how her group members doing. The girls spend the whole morning doing their own stuffs before heading off for lunch. After lunch is their first photoshoot in Korea. Arriving at the studio, 

Hello, we are DIAMOND.The 5 girls shouted out and bowed.

After dressed up, followed by hair styling by Kwon Yuri, lastly makeup by Hwang Miyoung. Jieun was ready first hence, she start the shoot first as well. While Nana is doing her hair, Chika went in to change.
