Music was blasting loudly from JYP's dance studio. In the room, the nine ladies of Goddess was practicing hard for their new album. 

Finally, when the music ended, each and everyone of them collapsed on the floor drenched in sweat.

" Good practice everyone! " Hye Rae clapped her hands. But no one was paying attention to her. They were too tired to even bother already. 

" Shall we go for one last round? " Hye Rae joked and everyone glared at her.

" I guess not. " Hye Rae sat down. 

Just then, their managers came into the room. 

" The MV has just been released two hours ago. And the boss said that you'll be having your comeback stage tomorrow at Inkigayo. " Yoonae said. 

" Whatever. " Min Yul muttered, lying face flat on the floor. 

" I don't care already. " SoA muttered with closed eyes.

" We're too tired to care. " Haerin sighed. 

" What a nice mood. " Daejoon muttered under his breath, but Yoonji's ears caught it and threw a towel at him.

" Try practicing the moment you wake up and have four hours of sleep. " She said.

" Fine. You win. " He said and stepped back.

" Do you guys want anything to eat or drink? " Yoonae worriedly asked. 

" Will a break from this do? " Areum asked hopefully but Yoonae shook her head. 

" Just wait until after promotion ends. I promise to help you guys get a few months break and let you go back to your parents. " Yoonae smiled.

" Thanks unnie. But a few weeks will do. " Soo Hye said.

" How about getting a bigger dorm? " Eun Ji tried her luck.

" No such luck yet, young lady. " Yoonae said. 

" I tried. " She shrugged.

This moment, Yoonae's phone buzzed at the incoming message. She took out her phone and read the message aloud. " The views from the music video has been hanged because there are too many people watching. Will update you more later. "

" Who is it from? " Amy asked, her legs crossed in a comfortable sitting position.

" Miss A's manager. That should be good news for you guys, right? " Yoonae asked.

" Not for our princess here. " Soo Hye patted Areum's shoulder.

" Right. The video hits a million, and it's the release of her love life. " Haerin snickered.

" Don't remind me of that bet. " Areum massaged her temples, which caused everyone to giggle and .

" Alright, alright! Go shower up. Daejoon and I will be nice by treating you guys to some food. Then it's back here for more practice and vocal classes. " Yoonae clapped her hands and ordered.

" Okay! " The girls immediately stood up and went to wash up.

- - -

" Are you sure it's fine for us to eat this much? "

The girls looked at the amount of food in front of them. Plates of jokbal (pigs' feet), tteokbokki, chicken and kimchijeon ( kimchi pancake) were laid out on the table with plates and chopsticks already placed there.

" We did agree on treating you guys, so here. Afterwards, rest for a little more before we restart training at six thirty. " Yoonae looked at her watch and gave instructions.

" We understand! " The girls chorused and immediately started eating to replenish their energy.

" Are you girls that hungry? " Daejoon asked. The girls didn't say anything but just nodded.

" They've been practicing hard ever since morning. Cut them some slack. " Yoonae whacked Daejoon's arm.

Again, Yoonae's phone buzzed at another incoming message. " The music video has already reach five hundred thousand views. It will probably reach a million by tomorrow? Maybe tonight? "

" That's a pain. " Areum deeply sighed. * Sehun's going to be so happy the moment the video gets a million views. *

Shortly after Yoonae received the message, Areum's phone lit up and a ringtone was played.

" Isn't that the ringtone for Sehun? " Hye Rae asked. Areum nodded and picked up the phone. " Hello? "

" You didn't forget our deal, did you? " Sehun asked over the line.

" No. I was hoping you did though. " Areum truthfully said and took a bite of the tteokbokki.

" Sorry, love. Not going to happen. The moment it hits a million, I'm releasing the news. " Sehun said. By his tone, Areum knew that he was smiling, no, smirking over the line.

" You had better wipe that smirk off your face. I know you're happy that the news are being released. " Areum said. She heard a low chuckle and knew she had hit the bulls-eye.

" Of course I am. Now, continue with your food and practice hard. Love you. " He said and hung up.

" Brat. " Areum made a face and placed her phone back on the table. 

" Woah. This is the first time I've seen Areum unnie say something so adult like. " SoA's eyes widened in mock surprise. 

" Our little girl is growing up! " Soo Hye cheered, before she wiped off the smile and continued eating. " Not. " 

After the high carb meal, the girls rested for another few hours for digestion before starting to practice twice as hard. 

" Sesangeul ikkeul namja meotjin yeojadeul. Yeogi moyeora. You know the girls! " Eunji sang her last line before all the members concluded both the song and practice. 

" We're finally done for the night! " Min Yul rejoiced as she fell flat on her back. 

" What time is it now? " Haerin asked. 

Amy looked at her watch before lying back down. " 9.30 PM! " 

This moment, the door to the practice room opened and both their managers stepped in with bright smiles on their faces. 

" Guess what? Miss A's manager just told me that our MV had reached a million views! " Yoonae told them the great news. 

" I am so screwed. " Areum sighed heavily and fell flat on her stomach. 

" Don't worry. Now the whole Kpop industry knows that you're off limits! " Yoon Ji patted her back and joked. 

" Ha. Ha. I'm glad my misery amuses you. " Areum stuck out her tongue. Instead of taking it seriously, Yoon Ji just broke out into a smile. " Your welcome! " 

" Gosh, kill me before the anti-fans do! " Areum let out one more exasperated sigh before they were given the 'Okay' to call it a night. 

- - -

" How bad is it? " Areum asked, peeking out from her blanket. It was 2.30 in the afternoon and the girls had just come back from their last schedule for the day. 

" Do you want the good news, or the bad? " Amy asked, still looking at her laptop.

" Bad please. " Areum replied. 

" Bad news is, you lost a few fans when they found out that their beloved Areum is taken. Sehun's fans are now crying because their cute oppa is taken. And, that's about it! " Amy concluded. 

" The good? " Areum requested. 

" Good news is, Sehun's fans are now joining your fanclub and asking you a lot of questions. Better news, is that you surprisingly gained hundreds more new fans because of your relationship. " Haerin smiled. 

" In conclusion, better is better than good and bad put together. You got even more famous! " Hye Rae jumped onto Areum's bed and laughed.

" I bet Sehun is all the way in seventh heaven now. " Areum sighed. 

" He is! " The rest of her members crowded around her bed and replied. 

" Ugh! " Areum pulled the blanket back over her head and temporarily escaped reality.

Testing, testing. 1.2.3. 

I'M BACK!!!!! Sorry it took so damn bloody long! 

I have no excuses for this except laziness. 

On another note, the next chapter will have a major timeskip. 

I will also probably end this soon, since I'm like, brain dead from getting no ideas! 

I hope you guys enjoyed my story so far, and I hope you guys anticipate the next chapter! 

Which will probably come after humans go extinct and dinos are ressurrected. xD
