1. The A Team

Do you wanna build a Lego house?

 

 

 

"And they say,

She's in the class A Team,
Stuck in her daydream,
Been this way since eighteen....

 

It's too cold outside,
For angels to fly.....

Or angels to die."

 

 

("The A Team"- Ed Sheeran)
 

 

 

Just another normal weekend in Seoul. 1:45pm. 

 

 

Wendy is still in bed, tossing and turning, sleeping, and probably snoring.

 

 

2:00pm. Woke up by the noise from the living room, the young girl finally gets off her lovely, soft, fluffy bed and washes up. 

 

 

A whole 15 minutes later. She finally steps into the simple decorated yet modern living room.

 

 

 

On her right, it is an open kitchen with some pots heating on the stove.

 

 

“Hmm….It smells nice. As always.” She mumbles.

 

 

 

On her left, there is a petite figure sitting on the white carpet, leaning to the huge sofa, strumming guitar and humming songs, accompanied by a also-small black dog.  

 

 

 

Captivated, Wendy slowly approaches the figure. 

 

 

 

“Rise and shine, kid.”

 

 

"Good morning, Taeyeon-unnie.”

 

 

 

Wendy flashes a warm smile to the older girl. 

 

 

Taeyeon puts away her guitar and cracks up a bit, “It is already afternoon.” 

 

 

 

Wendy playfully sticks her tongue out and replies, “It is Saturday. It also means holiday.”

 

 

“Holiday my . Everyday is holiday to you.” Taeyeon mocks while heading to the kitchen.

 

 

 

“Oh come on unnie. I took this break, for you !” The Canadian exclaims as she shadows the Korean closely.

 

 

Taeyeon has prepared Wendy some really nice food, making the latter keeps drooling. 

 

 

 

“So ? You haven’t helped much though. Eat your brea…. lunch or brunch whatever and get your back to the studio with me. ASAP.” Taeyeon orders as she is struggling to open a canned food for little Ginger.

 

 

“What ? Didn’t I help with some filing and paper work and cleaning ? I did all the chores, didn’t I ? So today can we just rest ? You own the studio, you can make the call ~ Unnie ~ ” The Canadian girl pouts and does her best attempt of aegyo. 

 

 

 

“Stop that, ” Taeyeon gives Ginger a gentle pat and picks up the guitar again. “Or we’ll throw up - both Ginger and me.” The younger one immediately pouts even more.

 

 

Tae strikes a few chords and continues, “By the way, get some exercise is good for you. You don’t wanna get fat again, right ? ” She finishes with one evil smirk.

 

 

 

“Taeng-unnie ! How many times have I told you not to mention that freaking word?” Wendy sadly drinks her milk as if it’s some alcohol.   

 

 

“Which word ? ”

 

 

“Aww……. Just shut your dirty mouth and I’ll be ready in 10 minutes.” 

 

 

 

 

 

-

 

 

 

 

 

The Canadian gives out deadly glares as the Korean elegantly starts the engine of her champagne-gold Land Rover LR4. 

         

 

“That’s my girl. Look at you now. Slim, curvy, y, abs, nice ……. ” Tae bluntly eyes Wendy up as she speaks. 

 

 

“ert.” 

 

 

 

“You like it, don’t you ?” 

 

 

“Don’t you dare to flirt me. It doesn’t work on me.” Wendy moves a few inches away from the smirking Taeng. 

 

 

 

“It’s an honor for you that I, Kim Taeyeon, have praised your .” 

 

 

“Stop acting so touchy and thirsty when we are with my friends. Seulgi thinks we might have a..arghmmm…… a thing.”

 

 

“Really ? How about Joy ?” Taeyeon mutters with a raised eyebrow and parks the car.

   

   

 

The two walks into the studio.

 

 

 

“Did you just mention Joy back there?” Wendy tenses up with a weird thought and grabs Taeyeon’s wrist, waiting for a decent explanation. 

 

 

Taeyeon stops and laughs, “Hey, who said don’t be so touchy ? Yeah, Joy is cute.”  

 

 

 

“But my friends ain’t here now!!!” Wendy retrieves her hand yet insists fronting the older girl. “Answer me - what do you want from Joy ? Don’t you lay your hand on her ! She is just 18 and so innocent… and ……She is taller than you !”

 

 

Taeyeon frowns a bit before she opens again.

 

“First, I was only trying to say your little innocent friend is really cute. Second, I won’t lay my precious hands on a “cute” girl. Cute is not my type. Third, if weight is your weakness, height is mine. Now, go sweep the freaking floor.”

      

 

 

Wendy gulps seeing a seemingly annoyed Tae and sheepishly goes to work.

 

 

The “boss” Taeyeon, on the other hand, begins to work at her so-called “magical, almighty working desk”, which is composed by two MACs, three iPads, five cameras, one large pile of sketch papers and dozens of stationery; surrounded by lego structures and figures; blasting random music. 

 

 

 

Nearly 30 minutes later, Taeyeon finally takes a glance at her one and only “employee” Wendy, whom is polishing the windows in the hallway. 

 

 

 

“Wendy. Come here.”

 

 

“Yes boss ?” The girl rushes to her unnie a.k.a boss and reports to duty.

 

 

 

Taeyeon gestures Wendy to sit beside her, “Help me to design the front for this.”

 

 

“Me ?” Wendy asks, being fully surprised. “But you never…. This is the promotion poster for SM Entertainment, and now you are asking me to …..”

        

 

 

Taeyeon laughs at her cute stuttering and nods, “You're majoring in contemporary arts, right ? I know this is something big, that’s why I need help, your help. Something fresh. I didn’t ask you to take that one-year break or nothing.” 

 

 

Wendy is deeply touched by the fact that Taeyeon finally gives her a decent task - such rare opportunity for a collage student. She can’t help but hugs the older girl. 

 

 

 

“OH ~YES ! LET IT SHINE ON ME !”

 

 

“Work your magic girl.” Taeyeon flashes a motherly smile. 

 

 

“Thank you unnie. I promise to do my best and make you proud.”

 

 

“Make me rich instead.”

 

 

“Why not both ?”  

         

 

 

As the duo starts to absorb in their work, Taeyeon suddenly thinks of something and breaks the silence.

 

 

 

“Honestly, I think Seulgi is more like my type. Is she interested in having a part-time job or …….. ”

 

 

“Yah ! Taeyeon-unnie !”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s our duo. 

We’re going to meet Irene and Jess next chapter ~~ xo
