"Two minutes!" The call came through a stage hand's headset and I swallowed nervously, reaching for my bandmates' hands. Eunji smiled excitedly, ractically vibrating in her spot with enthusiasm, and Daemi was chewing her lip. The sequins on our clothes shimmered every time the flashing lights from the previous performance shones our way.

"Okay, we got this." Eunji murmured suddenly, turning to us. "We are R three D! We are RED!" We all kissed our right thumb and pressed them together in the middle of our little triangle.

"Okay R3D, you're on. Just go under the stage and you'll see a stage hand with a red glow stick. Daemi-ssi, you're on this cloest side, Eunji-ssi in the middle and Rei-ssi on the far side. Go!" We hurried down the stairs and manouvered our way through the poles that made up the stage itself. Daemi dropped back first, followed byEunji and I kept up an awkward crouched run until I saw my spot. The stage hand gave me a shiny gold micorphone before helping me onto the platform that would bring us up onto the stage. The lights dimmed and Eunji belted out the beginning note, easily going up the note ladder like Christina Aguilera. The fans screamed wildly and I grinned, biting my lip as my platform started to ascend. I lifted my microphone to my lips to start to opening verse of Ruby.

"Aye now, this glitter here that's on my dress, don't think too much, that's just the test..."

"Thank you for supporting CC Entertainment."

"Continue to love and support us!"

"We love our fans very much, thank you for coming!"

"So as you can see, CC Entertainment's very first global show has kicked off, right here in Seoul. This is all of the artists first global tour and I can also happily confirm CC will be stopping in at KCon in Los Angeles later this year as well." The TV turned off and Daemi turned back to the stove, guarding her bacon against hungry (coughEunjicough) hands.

"I had fun last night." I said, yawning slightly. "Did everyone get a day off today?" Eunji nodded, pouting that she couldn't reach her beloved bacon. In celebration of last night, Daemi was cooking us a Western breakfast.

"Yeah. We get the morning off and then head back to the arena for tonight's concert." Eunji paused to yawn as well. "And I think we're performing Flame tonight." I groaned and Daemi giggled before serving plates up to us, piled with eggs, sausages, bacon and hash browns.

"I think I love you." Eunji said dreamily before digging in.

"It's just for tonight and then we perform Ruby again for the last concert." Daemi reassured before eating. I sighed before following suit. See, unlike Ruby where I can wear jeans and boots and dance properly, Flames is more of a soft RnB ballad and every time, our costume is some sort of bright red dress and heels because we don't move much in it.

"Oh, and manager wants to talk to you later unnie." Daemi told me. "He says to go see him after you're ready, he's in CC until one." I nodded and glanced at the clock as I finished my breakfast. I dropped my dishes in the sink before hurrying into my room to shower and change. I grabbed my bag off the end of my bed and shoved my phone, wallet and CC ID inside before hurrying down the stairs.

"Your shoes are by the door on the right." Eunji called out as I passed the kitchen. "Act suitably, fans are outside and at CC. Manager will drive you to the arena. He just texted me." I nodded and found my grey sneakers, pulling them on before opening the door and stepping outside. The gates to our dorms were shut but fans lingered outside and started to squeal when I exited and headed to R3D's van. The driver was inside and nodded as I climbed in the passenger seat. He locked the doors before pressing the button to open the gate and we drove out.

"Straight to CC's please." I murmured before putting my headphones in.

"And, you'll still mainly be performing with R3D. However, unlike the rest of CC artists, you'll promote primarily in America and Korea. We have a set of songs already drafted for you if you want to pursue this. As a solo artist, I'm also putting you up for collaborations with other labels and labelmates. You understand?" I nodded and grinned.

"I don't mind at all." I replied.

"Good. Now, your concept for debut is old school. But, most of your songs are about memories, love and general emotions. It's mainly up to you how you play around with that. And you won't be rapping all of your songs; most fo them yes, but some you will sing because I know you can sing." I nodded and we discussed a few more key points such as my schedule, costuming, songs and appearance changes.

I pouted as I got in the van and manager drove me away.

"At least you get to keep your hair, unlike Saera-ssi." He said, referring to our sunbae in CC's eight member girl group FlashPoint. Saera, when they debuted, had to cut her hair up to her chin and dye it a vivid blue. I nodded half-heartedly.

"Doesn't mean I want it to look like damn Neopolitan ice cream." I muttered. "It's not a new colour, Oh Sehun from EXO had those colours in their Wolf MV."

"His was mainly centered in the front. Your's is all over your hair." I rolled my eyes and plugged in my iPod into the van and pressed play, B.A.P's Hurricane blasting out of the speakers. The rest of the car was silent, save for my playlist belting out everything from SNSD to EXO to Beyonce to Busta Rhymes. The time passed quickly and in no time we were arriving out the front of the arena for our second last performance in Seoul. I adjusted my capris before stepping out, and the fans went wild. I briefly waved before ducking my head and stumbling throuh the middle with security.

"Fangirls are rabid" I murmured to myself, staggering slightly. But I made it into the arena and was immediately pounced on by Eunji and Daemi.

"Yah, where were you?" Eunji asked and I arched an eyebrow.

"Manager-hyung was talking to me remember?" Daemi giggled and steered us both into the changeroom before sitting herself down on the sofa.

"So, I get to perform Rihanna's Fly with Jaekyung-oppa tonight." She revealed, squealing. "Boss Man says he wants to display my English." I sniggered and threw a cushion at her head.

"Maknae's drooling." I teased and she stuck her tongue out at me in return.

"Yah, both of you are headaches." Eunji sighed and Daemi laughed.

"I'm just excited." She paused. "Oh unnie, what did manager-oppa want to say?" I sat up and popped my shoulder before sitting back down.

"I'm apparently branching off in a sub-unit of my own as well as R3D." I began. "I'll be promoting in America and Korea, as well as China and Thailand with you guys." Eunji gaped and Daemi squealed.

"Omo, that's so cool!" She shrieked, squeezing the cushion.

"I also have to dye my hair!" I burst out, pouting. "They're thinking I should go blonde, pink and brown. I don't want to look like an ice-cream!" I wailed, sniffing. Eunji patted my shoulder gently.

"Then come up with a different one, something that'll make everyone know who you are straight away." She advised, smiling. "What would you do?"

"Bright. With the concept, I'd make it big and bold." I said straight away. "I'm thinking, shorter hair, permed so it's sort of a crimpy wave, and a mix between magenta and red." Daemi grinned, her own black and pink hair. Out of the three of us, I was the only on who kept my original hair colour; Daemi dyed hers black and then dip-dyed the ends a pinky-purple, and Eunji had orange hair.

"R3D, on stage for run through." I grinned at the prospect of my solo career coming up, and kissed my thumb before holding it out in front of me.

"We are R 3 D! We are RED!" I said as the other two joined me. "Now let's blow this place apart!"
