“Wow. And I do mean wow.
Hands down, this is the most entertaining fanfic I have read. Your descriptions, events, and character dynamics are impeccable. This is one of those stories where you really feel like you become a part of it....you envision everything that's happening and long to be there. And when I say long to be there......I really mean long to be the female lead.
I totally ship them together.”

Foreword
"Cut!" Clarissa yelled, her eyes squinting slightly as she looked at one of the girls standing on the set. The girl swayed a little as the music stopped and all of the camera crew and staff looked towards Clarissa, waiting for their next task to be dished out. Clarissa ignored all of the eyes that were focused on her, however, and got out of her director chair. She coolly walked over to the girl and smiled at her. "Anyasayo," she bowed at the girl. The girl immediately bowed back to her and as she came back up her face looked really worried. "Lazer, is it?" Clarissa asked carefully. She had spent a few minutes each day in the week leading up to the shoot trying to memorize all of the girl group's nicknames. There was Lazer, Lightning, Flash, and Ray. Once she got each of the names down she wrote the names over a picture of each girl. She was pretty sure that who she was talking to was Lazer, however, she had been pretty stressed preparing for today. Maybe she didn't get it right.
"Yes." Lazer replied hesitantly. Clarissa nodded and smiled a little, noticing that Lazer was talking to her in English. Her Korean wasn't the best...if you could even call it existent.
"Baegagopayo?" Clarissa asked. Lazer and all of the other girls in the group looked at her really strange and all of a sudden Clarissa realized that she'd completely messed up what she had meant to say. "Haha...umm..." she looked around for the translator that SM Entertainment had hired for her and spotted her standing at the edge of the set, one foot stretched out in front of the other as if ready to come to the rescue at any moment. Clarissa motioned with her hand to come over.
"What can I help you with?" Sun asked.
"Can you ask her if she's hungry?" Clarissa said. Sun nodded and began talking with Lazer then looked back to Clarissa.
"She said that she can wait until a break." Sun said, relaying Lazer's response.
"Has she eaten today?" Clarissa asked. She'd heard about the strict diets that girl groups underwent right before a debut or comeback. She had noticed that throughout the last take Lazer was losing her balance a bit and unable to keep up with the intense choreography. If Clarissa was being honest, she thought that Lazer looked like she would pass out at any moment.
Sun was talking to Lazer again and this time Ray chimed in saying something and all the girls nodded hesitantly. Sun looked back to Clarissa. "None of them have eaten today." she said as she bit her lip but then stopped as she realized what she had done. She moved her lips into a straight line, trying to stay professional and not acknowledge any emotion. Clarissa sort of wished that Sun would loosen up though and be more friendly. She just felt like she was using a walking dictionary when she acted so straight-faced.
Clarissa frowned slightly as she looked down at her watch - it was 10pm. She nodded, "Okay. Let's take a 20-minute break. Can you tell the intern to announce that in Korean?" she asked. Sun just nodded and immediately went off to find the intern. Clarissa turned back to the girls and smiled. "Ga ja!" she said waving her hand for them to follow her. She walked to the back of the set to the table filled with an assortment of foods. She picked up a plate and began piling fruits on it, making sure to include tangerines and a banana. Then she put two sandwiches on the plate as well. Clarissa turned around and smiled at Lazer. "Please eat this." she said and Lazer nodded repeatedly and took the plate. Clarissa then went on to make the same meal for the other girls and began handing them their plates. When she handed the last plate away to Lightning she turned randomly to her left and looked up slightly to see two boys looking at her. One was just staring and the other smiled and nodded at her. The one that was just looking at her had short blonde hair, was wearing a black V-neck with a jean jacket overtop and black and white checkered skinny jeans. The one who smiled and nodded at her had longer dark brown hair. He was just wearing a white T-shirt and grey skinny jeans. When he smiled and nodded at her she felt like he had instantly aged into an older man who was sort of saying 'good job taking care of these dongsaengs'. At least that's what she interpreted it as; she nodded back with a smile, not really thinking anything but then as she turned around she realized something. She knew who they were. But she had never even met them before so how could...she stopped her inner dialogue as she realized that she had only ever seen them on her computer screen before. It was Key. And Minho. From SHINee.
