Four girls sat on the floor of their tiny one-bedroom apartment.

Four girls could only mind numbingly think about what had occurred earlier that day.

"Why do I feel like we got fired?" Ana's soft voice met the other members ears.

"Feels more like a demotion," Kyojin uttered, eyes downcast.

"Why are they throwing us out? What about their other groups?" Sara frowned, pulling her legs to her chest to rest her chin on her knees.

"Maybe, it could be a good thing?" Ellie, uncertainly, spoke. Her mind was racing to try and think of any positives to tell her members, to try and make them feel better.

"How could SM getting rid of us be a good thing?" Sara scoffed.

"Maybe... maybe we won't be ignored?" the leader was pulling at strings. She didn't like this revelation either, but it was her role to make sure her members were okay. Mentally and physically.

"What do you mean?" Ana questioned.

"Well," she took a deep breath, "the branch is new right? So that means we are their only artist, their only priority."

"Their only source of income," the French blooded member sneered. "Besides, how long can a company last with one artist? Another group will come along soon."

"Then we have to prove ourselves," Kyojin bit her lip. "We prove Enchanted is worth it."

Four pairs of eyes soaked in the sight around them.

The Imagine Music building was huge, with grey bricks and light grey paneling. Walking in, the walls were covered in traditional colored bricks. It was warm. Even Sihyun was hesitant in his steps towards the front desk. "Enchanted is here to see Seo Yeseul."

The woman at the desk looked up with a blinding smile. "I'll buzz you right in! Just take the elevator to the fourth floor and check in with Lee-ssi at the waiting desk. Welcome to Imagine Music!"

Enchanted followed the buzzing sound, 'ooh'ing at the glass door next to the desk opening on its own. Doing just as the woman said, they noticed the brick theme was throughout the whole building.

Once they reached the fourth floor another bubbly woman was at this waiting desk. The girls took in everything they could with wide eyes, wondering how much money SM Entertainment gave this branch.

"Enchanted, the president will see you now."

Some of the girls legs were shaking at the prospect of seeing the pretty woman from before.

"Ah, Enchanted, so lovely to see you again," Yeseul's smile was gentle and kind, her long legs were crossed at the ankles underneath her desk, her well manicured fingers perfectly poised over her keyboard. She fluidly stood up, gesturing for them to leave the small modern office. "Let's not crowd ourselves in that stuffy room, I'll give you the tour of the building while I explain more of Imagine Music's vision for Enchanted."

The girls silently followed the president.

"On this floor is a bunch of boring departments, this is the floor you would come to if you need to see me or have any kind of meeting. Hmm, should we go to the top floor or start going down?" the woman wondered aloud, staring at the elevator buttons and back towards the door leading to the stairs.

"There's more floors?" Kyojin openly gaped. SM didn't even have this many floors!

"Well, sort of," she chuckled. "Come on, I'll show you and then we can go to the third floor."

The members were amazed at what the top floor revealed to be. An open concept gym, with a pool and large flat screen too!

"I've always been a fan of water sports, and it's a great way to exercise! Plus, I thought you girls would prefer working out in the privacy

Chapter 57: Wow...2 years of this story? Doesn't feel like it~
Although it wasn't the desired ending I liked it! <3
My favourite parts would probably be when the girls sneaked out to the club and the whole Khione and L interaction and the learning about Korea variety show that they had!
I loved how you didn't just automatically make them super popular since debut and gave them a huge luxury dorm from the start like most apply fics. No, you gave them hardships and scandals which were realistic and I loved it!
If the story were longer, I would have loved to see all Enchanted's interaction with fans and their love interests.
I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR FUTURE APPLYFICS!

Chapter 47: I respect and agree with your decision~
I'm also looking forward to apply for your new upcoming apply fic too!
My writing skills have gotten wayyyyy better than when I applied for Enchanted, so I'm excited to make a new character for you!
I will patiently wait till August 27th!

Chapter 46: Wow, this must have been hard for you. I honestly also feel conflicted since I actually grew attached to Enchanted, but at the same time I've also been getting the vibe that you don't know what to do. It's understandable that most of you motivation has been lost, so I'm not angry don't worry :D
But, I've always felt this way about everything: If you lost motivation, or you truly don't feel anything then either put it aside, or work on something even better!
I'm not telling you to just quit this, but I'm saying if you feel that you have better and bigger ideas for something else- go through with it!
Maybe you can put this aside and work on it when you do get inspired- or maybe even include the Enchanted girls in some of your other apply fics? I don't know.
But if you keep writing with having one foot in and one foot out, it's a loose loose situation for the readers and you.
Maybe I'll apply for your other apply fics too! Because I would love to.

Chapter 45: The girls seem *sooo* much happier now. I'm so glad :D And I'm so curious about their comeback! You always pick the best songs, so I'm sure this one'll be just as awesome!

I love Kyojin's "you would fail" to Ana in the photography room too omg

And hopefully after seeing this everyone won't think IM is so bad anymore! I mean from the building (which I still love omg) to the closeness of the artists and staff, I think it'd be pretty hard to deny that IM is a great company.

Chapter 45: Aww the girls were so cute when they were showing off the building~
Psh- the trainees should've waved at the camera! C'MON DUDED YA'LL ARE GONNA BE IDOLS ONE DAY lol
Still looking forward for their comeback song <3 Seriously, I'm really curious!
And I hope that after seeing the amazing building people will feel that IM isn't bad cuz it's obvious that they have a lot of money and stuff! PLUS I MEAN they call their boss unnie so hopefully people take that in and think that the place is awesome!

Chapter 44: Sorry that I didn't comment on the last chapter e.e I'm on vacation and the wi-fi plus there's some really bad family drama going on with health issues and stuff so yeah...BUT I'M HERE RIGHT NOW~
SO YAY A COMABACK SOON! Cannot wait ^.^ and I'm also excited for their new comeback reality show thing even though it's only three episodes lol
Now, sheesh people think that the girls are nothing now because they're not officially in SM anymore T.T But I know that my babies will prove them wrong! ENCHANTED FTW!

Chapter 42: I've been forgetting to read omg

First off, I'm so glad their newest single is Loving U! It's definitely one of my favorite all time favorite Sistar songs.

Also, I don't know how to explain it but I think I'm in love with the IM building??? It's soooo cool and modern and.... Just wow. And the company is so chill, like. It must be so weird (but awesome) going from a place like SM to *actually* being able to relax.

And SIHYUN!! I was so worried when they switched over to IM though like.... How could the story be the same without him? Sihyun is love. Sihyun is life.

Chapter 42: Personally i think that IM is wayyyy better than SM! I mean wow! The contract is amazing and they get freedom! How amazing is that??? It's probably the best company ever! So sweet <3
I guess I understand why they feel like trash, but I honestly believe that this is best for them! AND YAY SIHYUN IS BACK!!! I missed him~
I'm looking forward for the comeback! Wonder what it is this time.....

Chapter 41: WOAH- the new dorm is amazing! Great upgrade for the girls *thumbs up*
AND IS ALLISON'S ULZZANG KIM SEUKHYE? CUZ I LOVE HER! If it isn't then damn she looks like her!
Now where the hell is Sihyun? The dude needs to come back!
Speaking of comeback's, I wonder when Enchanted will have theirs....although they do deserve a break.
