The day ended with some nice Kalbi you all ate together when you arrived back in Seoul. They guys had brought you home again and then left. Everyone had a lot of fun and seemed satisfied whereas now really tired.

Furthermore you had found your purse in the back of the car. It had suddenly appeared there again so you must have lost it there before.

„It's so cooooold~!“, Sunny whined and hurried towards the apartment complex. She held up her smartphone where the little code key was fixed and the door opened with an electronic melody accompanying.

Back at the apartment it was dead silent even though every SNSD member was there.

„We're home~!“ Taeyeon shouted happily into the apartment after opening the door for you girls.

Hyoyeon and Tiffany were coming towards the entrance area to welcome you. Seohyun was walking in the back. She was armed with a book but didn't gave one of you a single glance. She just walked back into her room. It seemed as if Taeyeon's happiness shout had disturbed her lecture in the living room.

„Hey guys, you had a lot of fun?“ Tiffany asked you, examining all the little gifts.

„Yeah and you know what! We stole YG female G-Dragon!“, Sooyoung announced.

„You brought Lee Chaerin with you?“ Hyoyeon asked and looked for her.

„No, no! It's her!“, Sooyoung said and pulled you in front of her. „Our newbie is a pro in rapping!“

Tiffany's and Hyeoyeon's eyes widened. „A real rapper? Omona...!“

„I wanna listen to you rapping!“, Tiffany said but Taeyeon interferred.

„It's already late.“, she said certainly. „Leave her a break. Tomorrow she can show you everything but for tonight it's enough. The day was really exhausting.“

The girls nodded and all of you splitted to get ready for bed.

Taeyeon took you aside to explain some things and rules of the dormitory.

First, she took you to one of the two bathrooms. „We'll start here. There is a timetable pinned on each bathroom door so we can use it for a certain time in the morning without big trouble and extra fights. Check it out so you know when to get up and when to get ready in the evening.“

You took a look at the sheet of paper to realize that the girls had set you as the very first in the morning – which ment you would have to get up very early.

„Then we all have skin and hair care given to us by our stylists.“, she went on explaining pointing at a top row of colourful bottles. „There's a name on each of them. You'll be given some, too, after meeting the stylists the first time. They will also tell you which make-up to use and what to do with your hair. Sometimes they forbid you to use straighteners and co because it's too bad for your hair.“

You nodded silently but excitedly at the same time. You were looking forward to meet the stylists. This experience would be one of a kind, you guessed.

„Now to some more important stuff. Business and personal stuff.“ Taeyeon took you out of the bathroom again and both of you headed towards your bedroom. „If the entertainment decides you to be friends with some other group's members you have to be friends with them. You have to go on dates with them and so on...and if you ever have a relationship...keep it secret. When the entertainment gets to know about it you'll be in big trouble.“

She hesitated and then went on. „And I give you one more very precious advice...if they tell you to have a fake relationship with another idol...don't really fall in love with him. That might be the worst thing ever happening to you. The label will exploit your whole relationship and love and once you break up again after confessing in public...there will be really bad reaction of the fans.“

You nodded. This was what you already thought of a lot. Fake relationships...real relationships...maybe it was the most intelligent way to just avoid romantical feelings. But who could do that? Maybe a Jedi. Unfortunatelly you weren't Yoda.

„You sound as if you made this experience yourself, unnie.“, you mentioned and made her stop for a whole moment.

„Yeah...kinda...“, she answered looking very bothered.

When you noticed her expression you quickly apologized. „I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-!“

„No, no, it's okay. I was the one telling you all of this stuff. It's just natural that you're curious then.“, she appeased you.

It took her another moment until she gave you the answer to your question.

„And yes...I've experienced this before...I used to be Super Junior's Kangin 'fake' relationship. But we developed true feelings towards each other...and when the entertainment found out, they sent him to military service to divide us.“

„So are you still a couple?“, you went on asking.

Taeyeon didn't give you an answer to this. She just shrugged her shoulders and went on with the other stuff she wanted to tell you. To you this was response enough.

„About interviews...always tell them what our manager tells you before – even if you get whole scripts as answers. Just do it. You'll get acting lessons to sell yourself well. If the MC asks you something that our manager didn't tell you about...choose answers that save your image. It's all about the image in this business. Keep that in mind and never lose your face. Especially not as Soshi.“, Taeyeon explained.

This was what you were the most worried about. What if the MC asked you something and you replied the wrong answer? The entertainment could kick you right out. Our the audience would be very upset and cruel. They could tore you apart with their comments.

„Ahh...I forgot to mention one of the most important things.“ Taeyeon looked at you really strict.

„There's no rule about food...but...if you get a diet plan from your personal coaches...don't eat anything that's not on your plan. If the manager tells you to weight 45 kilos then you can just weight 45 kilos. If he tells you to weight more or less, you have to get that weight quickly.“

Again you nodded.

„Don't be afraid and don't worry too much. I'll help you through it.“, Taeyeon promised and touched your shoulders. She even smiled at you which made you feel better. Her gentle smile even reminded you of a loving mother.

„I'm happy you don't hate me.“, you mumbled which made Taeyeon's mouth drop open and eyes widen.

„You thought I hate you?“, she asked.

„No, no...but in the beginning I felt like all the Soshi member didn't like me...At least some of you seem to be of a different opinion now.“ Your weak smile made Taeyeon chuckle.

„It's not as we would hate you or stuff...it's just very difficult for us. There is a lot of rivalry in SNSD...a new member does just mean one more enemy...but since you're a rapper – and that's a position in our group that nobody has – it's going to be easier for us. There is nobody who has to defend her position. Except for Seohyun. She just lost the title of the maknae but her reputation will make her bear this loss.“

„Thank you, Taeyeon-unnie...ma.“ You grinned about the last suffix. It also made Taeyeon frown but then grin.

„Unniema? You're getting a bit cheeky, little kiddo.“, she laughed.

Yoona entered the room, throwing her bag at her bed and then yawning loudly.

„Any plans for tomorrow?“, she asked.

„No, not yet.“, Taeyeon replied. „But how about showing ____-ah around this place and area. She will need to know where some special places are to visit without being recognized easily in two months.“

Yoona nodded. „Good idea.“

Sooyoung also entered the room after a while. She crawled into her bed and loudly breathed out, as if she was sighing of relief.

„I love you, bed...“, she whispered resting her sleepy head on her pillow.

„You all act as if your life is super exhausting.“, you said and leaned against the wall next to your bed.

„You have no idea.“, Sooyoung said and formed a hill of blanket and herself. „From monday on your life will be a nightmare.“

Yoona kicked the underside of Sooyoung's stock bed. „Yah! Don't scare her already like that!“

„YAH!“, Sooyoung squealed back.

Taeyeon and you were watching them fighting for a while until each of you was about to sleep.

Something still kept you wide awake. You had to process the entire day first. It ran again and again through your mind until Sooyoung made you all startle out of your dreamy whereabouts.

„____-ah...?“, she whispered through the darkness.

„Yah...sleep!“, Taeyeon grumped.

„I'm just curious about something...“, she told the leader.

„It can't wait until tomorrow?“, the leader asked a bit annoyed.

„Nah, I can't sleep because it's bothering me...“

And there she went with the question getting a ball rolling nobody could stop afterwards.

„Do you have a boyfriend? Or like somebody?“, she asked.

You frowned about her question. „No...and no.“

„Why are you asking a question like that?“, Taeyeon asked her and you heard her moving to sit upright now.

„Because I just noticed how Leeteuk-oppa is looking at her.“

Yoona and Taeyeon immediately were hooked by this statement.

„I noticed that, too!“, Yoona claimed and nearly fell out of her bed.

„True story, I guess everyone saw it!“, Taeyeon joined but all of the girls' words just made you shake your head more and more.

„Nonsense...“, you answered back. „There's no way.“ Even though you were sure that they misunderstood something your whole head turned right. It was a miracle it didn't start burning.

„It's not nonsense. We can bet on it...I guess he will approach you soon.“

And with Sooyoung's last statement the three girls started betting on how, when and where you would become a couple. Still you couldn't believe in their words...but who knew what would face you in the future?
