Chapter 17

Took an Oath - I’mma stick it out to the end

The next morning, Krystal was awaken by loud noises in the kitchen.
So she stood up from her bed and walked out of the room to see what was going on in the kitchen.
When she walked into the kitchen, she was surprised to see her sister still at home but not at work.
Whats more, Jessica’s cooking breakfast for Krystal and herself.

“Unnie, you don’t have to work today?”

“Oh, Krystal, you’re awake” Jessica without turning her back away from Krystal.
“Well, I have to. Only that I’ve something to tell you”

“Hmm? Whats so important that you can skip your work & cook my breakfast to tell me something?” asked Krystal

“Well, im almost done”
“Krystal, go and wash up”
“I’ll tell you everything later at the dining table”

“Araesso araesso”

Later on, while they were dining their breakfast,
Jessica started.

“Krystal, I’ve something to tell you”
“I’ve been casted as a member of a girl group by a company”
“And they need us to move in to the dorm by Wednesday”
“So, I was thinking.. are you gonna be fine on your own?”

“Unnie?! Seriously?! Girl group?!”
“OMO. Unnie im so jealous!”
“I think im fine on my own, but can I visit you?”
“I’ll miss you a lot if you’re not at home”

“Of course you can Krystal!”
“Hahas, well, I don’t know if its gonna work well”
“But I guess I’ll give it a go since I’ve got nothing to lose”
“And you’ll be more than welcome to visit us ‘cause Tiff & Taeyeon is with us”

“JINJA?! Woah!”

“And Krystal, I’ve got something to trouble you too”
“Can you bring me my work from the office every day during the evening time?”
“And when you’re free or something, sit in the office for me?”
“Well you don’t have to do anything, just sit in for a few hours”
“After that, just pass me all the documents and I’ll finish it”

“Araesso araesso”
“I’ll do anything for unnie, like you did for me” smiled Krystal

“And, one last thing”
“Krystal, I’ve bought you a car” Jessica said while handling the car keys over to her.
“I hope that it will be convenient for you when you travel around, be it to our dorm, school or office”

“WOW! I’ve got my own car!”
“WOOHOOOO~” cheered Krystal

“Hahas, pabo!”
“Finish up your breakfast and go to school yeah!”
“Im gonna pack up some stuff and leave it at the dorm before heading to the office” Jessica said while knocking on Krystal’s head

So Jessica left the dining room and headed back to her room to pack her luggages.
She didn’t really pack a lot since she can come back anytime to get her stuff.
While she was packing, she heard a knock on the door.

[ENGLISH CONVERSATION]

“Erm Jess, when are you moving to the dorm?”
“Can we go together?”

“Oh Tiff, you’re up”
“Yup of course we can”
“But im just going to go & leave my luggage there”
“I still need to get back to the office and finish my work”

“Oh, so you’re still as busy as ever”
“Hahas, alright”
“I’ll go wash up first and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me when you’re going”
“I don’t wanna go alone!”whined Tiffany

"Hahas, okayokay"
"Chill chill" answered Jessica

[End of ENGLISH CONVERSATION]

Mr.Kim's side

"Secretary Yoo, how did Jessica fare, till now?"

"Mr.Kim, Jessica-sshi has been coping well for now"
"She managed to find the suppliers, contractors&designers all on her own"
"She even managed to put up with the nonsense the colleagues made her to do"
"Unfortunately, she was pushed off the stairs by the colleague over there 4 weeks ago"

"Oh really?"
"Then i bet she cant complete this test i've given her" laughed Mr.Kim evily.

"I doubt so Mr.Kim"
"Jessica-sshi had more or less completed the project"
"She just need one more week and the condominium is ready for sale"

"Amazing. Really?"
"She's seriously someone we cant belittle"

"I think so too"
"I actually really wondered how did she cope with her own company and this project"
"Even 24hours a day for me is not enough" commented Secretary Yoo.

"Who cares, she managed to complete it"
"Thats the point" concluded Mr.Kim

Over at the dorm,
Hyoyeon&Sooyoung were the first to arrived,
followed by Seohyun,Sunny,Yoonyul& lastly Tiffany, Taeyeon&Jessica.
There were 4 rooms in the dorm and they were supposed to spilt it among themselves.
Since everyone came in pairs except for Tiffany, everyone decided that she would be more comfortable sleeping with Taeyeon&Jessica.
Although Taeyeon&Jessica wished for room to themselves, but Tiffany's been her best friend since young.
She cant just leave her aside.
So, the roommates were as such.

1st room - Hyoyeon&Sooyoung
2nd room - Seohyun&Sunny
3rd room - Yoona&Yuri
4th room - Tiffany, Taeyeon&Jessica

After they finished settling their luggages down,
Taeyeon&Jessica had to leave first back to their office to settle their stuff.
Since Taeyeon&Jessica had to leave, as their secretaries,
both Yoona&Yuri had to leave too.
Leaving only Hyoyeon,Sooyoung,Seohyun,Sunny&Tiffany.
After bidding goodbye to Taeyeon,Jessica&Yoonyul,
there was a moment of awkward silence.

But was broken by Sooyoung.

"Everybody! Shall we cook dinner together?"
"Like spend some time together as a group first?" suggested Sooyoung

"Yeah, shall we?" Hyoyeon joined in

"Hmm.. i think we should, unnie" Seohyun said tugging Sunny's sleeve

"If thats the case, then what are we waiting for?"
"Lets go get some groceries then!" smiled Sunny

"So lets go!" everyone cheered and started leaving the dorm.

Leaving Tiffany in a daze, not knowing what is going on since they spoke so fast.
Tiffany's pretty weak in Korean since most of her life she lived in America,
its a bit hard for her to understand such fast conversation.
So, Tiffany just followed the other girls.
During the whole shopping period, Tiffany remained quiet.
Only helping to push the trolley, nodding her head in reply.
She was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Just then, she received a call.

*Phone call* [ENGLISH CONVERSATION]

"Hello Tiffany?"

"Hi daddy!"

"Hahas, Tiffany, i just wanted to check on you if you're doing well with the other girls"
"So how are you doing?"

"Aww daddy! I was so happy to receive your call"
"Their Korean was great and fast"
"Fast till i couldnt understand it" giggled Tiffany

"Oh, what about Jessica?"
"Isnt she with you?"

"Ah, Jessica"
"She has to go back to the office to get some stuff settled"
"So im left alone here"

"Oh, hahas"
"Tiffany, daddy has to go now"
"Call me soon okay Tiffany"
"Daddy loves you"

"Love you too"

*End of phone call* [End of ENGLISH CONVERSATION]

As soon as Tiffany hung up the call,
shocked faces were seen.
The other girls, they were so shocked to see how well Tiffany's English were.
It was like,
OH-MY-GOD.
Such precise pronounciation!

"Omo, Tiffany!"
"I didnt know your English was so awesome!"
"Teach me teach me!" said Sooyoung enthusiatically.

"Hahas, okay"
"Anytime you want" replied Tiffany sweetly

Then the girls started talking to Tiffany, SLOWLY.
Asking her things about America, what they do there, their culture, food etc.
Soon, they were home and started preparing dinner.

"Girls, do we need to cook the portions for Jessica,Taeyeon&Yoonyul?" asked Sunny who's in charge of washing the rice.

"Hmm, i dont know unnie" said Seohyun

"Tiffany, can you please call Jessica and ask her about it?" asked Hyoyeon who's busy cutting the vegetables.

"Okay sure"

*Phone call*
[ENGLISH CONVERSATION]

"Jessica?"

"Yup Tiff?"

"Are you on your way home already?"

"Im going home after i drop by Kims Enterprise to pick up my work there as well as Taeyeon"

"Oh, then do you want to dine with us?"
"In the dorm?"
"The girls are cooking dinner now"
"They were wondering if they need to prepare your portion together with Taeyeon&Yoonyul's one as well"

"Oh, really?"
"Okay, we'll come back for dinner then"
"See you later Tiff"

"See you later Jess!"

*End of phone call*
[End of ENGLISH CONVERSATION]

After hanging up the call, Tiffany returned to the kitchen to help.

"Erm girls, Jessica said that they will be coming back for dinner" informed Tiffany

"Araesso!" replied the other 4 girls in unison.

Soon, the girls were crowding around the dinning table,
enjoying their first dinner in their dorm.
While they were chatting, Sooyoung saw Jessica picking out cucumbers and said,

"Jessica, dont pick the cucumbers out"
"Its good for your body" Sooyoung said while put the cucumbers back in her bowl

"Hmm?"
"I dont like cucumbers" said Jessica coldly and started picking out the cucumbers.

Sooyoung's POV

Wow, so cold.
Her reply is like so cold,
without any feelings or emotions in it

End of Sooyoung's POV

"Ani, its just..." Tiffany started explaining when Jessica stopped her.

[ENGLISH CONVERSATION]

"Dont Tiff, dont tell" Jessica said

"Why? Its best to let them know, isnt it?" Tiffany asked

"No, i dont want them to know about my health and everything, i felt like its a burden to you and Taeyeon"
"i dont want to burden them too" explained Jessica

"Okay, if thats what you want Jessica"
"But remember i'll always be here for you if you dont feel well or something" smiled Tiffany

"Okay, thanks Tiff"

[End of ENGLISH CONVERSATION]

The other girls were staring at the two Korean-American as if they came from another universe.
English here English there.
Not a single word of Korea.
And the pronounciations were perfect.
Then Tiffany realised what was going on and said,

"Hahas, girls, its just that Jessica wants to leave it for me"
"She knew that i liked cucumbers" smiled TIffany as she picked up the cucumbers picked out by Jessica

Just then, Taeyeon whispered to Jessica.

"Sica, what were you talking about?"
"With Tiffany?"

"Hahas, i'll tell you later inside the room okay Taetae"
"You should learn some English though!"
"To understand us" chuckled Jessica

When they were about to finish eating,
Kyuhyun was seen walking into the dorm with a serious expression on his face.

"Girls! Gather over here!" clapped Kyuhyun

"Neh oppa?" replied the girls

"Well, im sorry to say, the company is urgently urging us to start our trainings so we can debut soon"
"So, i've arranged your trainings starting tomorrow"
"So you girls have to sleep early today and report for your training tomorrow"
"You girls have to train for a week, then start preparing for your debut"
"i've already talk to the composers who will compose your first mini album's songs and they will compose it during your 1 week training"
"So after the 1 week training, you'll have to attend all kinds of broadcast and im sure you'll get really busy soon"

"Woah!" said Sooyoung,Hyoyeon,Seohyun&Taeyeon

"Thats fast!" said Tiffany

"Yup, so i'll see you girls tomorrow morning"
"8am sharp, there will be a van waiting for you girls infront of this building" informed Kyuhyun

"Neh oppa" replied the 9 girls in unison

With that, Kyuhyun left the dorm to the girls themselves.
And one by one started cleaning up the dinning table and headed back to their to take a shower and rest.
But, the only few who didnt was Jessica&Taeyeon.
They were trying to finish up their company stuff.
Its like their daily homework, while Jessica has double 'cause of Taeyeon's grandfather.
While Jessica&Taeyeon were working, Yoonyul who woke up to get a drink saw their lights on and went in.

"Taeyeon unnie?"
"Are you still working?"

"Jessica too?"

Jessica&Taeyeon just nodded and went back to work.

"Let us help you, we're familiar with it"
"We're your secretaries" said Yoonyul

"Ani, you girls go back to sleep"
"Dont want you girls to be too tired tomorrow due to the lack of sleep"
"And too many people here will wake Tiff up!" joked Taeyeon

"Yeah, just go back to sleep" smiled Jessica tiredly

A few hours later, when they were done with their work and was about to sleep,
they realised that it was already 4am. They are left with 3hours to sleep, an hour to prepare.
So they set their alarm and went to bed.
But 3hours were like so short, it felt like 5minutes to them.
Its just like the moment they fell asleep, they had to wake up.
So they woke up at 7am and started washing up, preparing for their practice.
On the dot 8am, they heard a honk of a van.
Probably the van to pick them up, so the 9 of them hurriedly went down to the van.
As soon as they got up, Kyuhyun started passing around a piece of paper.

"Here's your schedule for this whole week"
"I told you its gonna be a packed one"

Schedule Table;

"And, i've appointed a leader for the group too"
"As well as the main vocalist, dancers etc"

Main vocalist;
1st-Kim Taeyeon
2nd-Jessica Jung

Lead dancer;
1st-Kim Hyoyeon
2nd-Choi Sooyoung
3rd-Kwon Yuri

Supporting dancer&vocalist;
1st-Tiffany Hwang
2nd-Lee Sunny
3rd-Im Yoona
4th-Joo Seohyun

"I hope you girls dont quarrel over the appointing of vocalist&dancers"
"It will change as the time changes too"
"So its not permanent"
"Dont worry"
"Now, go on"
"Go into the practice room for your first training"
"I've got the dance teacher ready for you girls" informed Kyuhyun and he started hurrying the girls down the van.

So one by one, the girls got down the van and headed towards the dance room.
As soon as they entered, they were welcomed by a guy named Eunhyuk.

"Hello girls, i'll be your dance choreographer for the week"
"I've gotten the demo track of the song you girls will be debuting in a weeks' time"
"And i've been asked to choreograph a dance for it"
"By the way, im Eunhyuk, Lee Eunhyuk"
"You girls can just call me oppa" smiled Eunhyuk

"Neh oppa" replied the 9 girls

"Okay, now lets start of with some basic stretching"
"Blaah blaah blaah"

The training went on for a day until it finally came to a stop.
When they completed the whole training, they felt like their body got teared into pieces.
They cannot even find any more strength bring them back to their dorm.
Nevertheless, they still dragged their deadbeat body back to the dorm.
What a pity for Jessica&Taeyeon,
they still have to finish up their daily "homework" before going to bed.

"Awww. Sica"
"Im so tired!" yawned Taeyeon
"And i still have to do all these work, i hope i could throw all these back to halraeborji!" joked Taeyeon while looking through the documents brought to her by Mr.Kim's secretary Yoo.

"Hahas, Taetae, im equally tired"
"Look at mine" Jessica said while pointing to her stack of documents brought to her by Krystal.

"Woah, thats a lot!" exclaimed Taeyeon

"Excuse me! someone's trying to sleep here!" commented Tiffany sleepily.

"Ops, sorry" apologised Taeyeon&Jessica

"Sica, think we should do it in the living room instead"
"We are like disturbing Tiffany from her sleep"

"I guess so. Lets go"

So Jessica&Taeyeon moved out of the room into the living room to finish up their daily "homework".
After completing it, Jessica exclaimed.

"TAETAE! LOOK! i've finally completed your grandfather's project!"
"And its still a few days before the 6th month deadline!" Jessica sighed in relief

"Great Sica!"
"Now im sure halraeborji will accept you"
"Leave that document to me, i'll get secretary Yoo to pick it up here tomorrow together with mine" offered Taeyeon

"Okay, thanks Taetae!"
"Love you" smiled Jessica

With that, they went back to bed, for a few hours.
As usual.
And they woke up everyday, feeling super sleepy.
But during the trainings, the both of them gave it their all.
Especially during the vocal trainings.

The vocal teacher was amazed by their potential.
How high could Jessica actually hit and how powerful can Taeyeon's voice get.
Since they spent their days so busily, one week's training almost came to an end.
Its the last day of training.
The girls just finished their English lesson & lunch, now heading towards the recording studio to record their new songs for their debut album.
Kyuhyun told the girls that getting the basic English lesson for them is neccessary since English is the common language for most country,
and if they work hard, getting recognised in other countries is not a hard task at all.

At the recording studio,
they were recording a few songs;

Group;
1st song - Into the new world
2nd song - Time Machine (Jap&Eng)

SOLOs;
Seohyun - im 16 going on 17 [English]
Tiffany - Poker face [English]
Taeyeon - Can you hear me
Sunny - You're a doll
Jessica - Stupid Cupid [English]
Yuri - Must
Sooyoung - Story i want to tell
Hyoyeon - Kissing you

After their recording, Kyuhyun came in to pick them up for their dinner and their last dance practice before they start their official promotion.
During the ride, the girls were having packed lunch on the van.
While they were eating, Kyuhyun started talking.

"Girls, you album, after today's recording will be out soon"
"I made you girls sing a solo each is because i wanted the audience to know moore about you girls"
"For not just the pretty faces that they see, but also the voices that you girls are capable of"
"Im just telling you girls incase you girls wonder why is it that we have to record so much" explained Kyuhyun

"Oh, oppa"
"I see, nevermind"
"Recording is fun too" replied Yoonyul

While they were chatting and finishing up their food,
Taeyeon&Jessica were spotted sleeping on the van instead of eating.
When Seohyun was about to wake them up for their lunch,
she was stopped by Yoonyul.

"Dont Seohyun"
"Let them rest, they are not getting sufficient rest"
"We dont want them to get sick when we start promoting"
"Right?" said Yoonyul

"But unnie, their lunch!"
"Its bad for their gastric!" protested Seohyun

"HAHA, nevermind"
"I'll help them finish up, you know"
"My policy - never waste food" chuckled Sooyoung

"YAH!" Sunny said as she hit Sooyoung's head.
"its for them!"

"Araesso araesso!"
"Dont hit me!" whined Sooyoung while she rubbed her head.

"We'll keep it for them" volunteered Yoonyul

And then, the schedule went as per normal.
Practice their dance choreography till 12mn before they leave.
They were really hardworking, trying their best in everything.
Just as they reached home, before doing anything else,
Kyuhyun announced a good news.

"Girls, you have just finished your 1 whole week of tedious training"
"Your official promotion will be on Saturday"
"You'll be having tomorrow all to yourselves"
"Remember to do what you wanted to do first 'cause you'll be really busy with the promotions of your debut album" said Kyuhyun

"WAH! One day break!"
"Finally!" exclaimed Sunny

"WOOHOO!"
"Lets go to the theme park Yuri!" exclaimed Yoona

"YEAH IM CHODING!" giggled Yuri

And so, everyone had their plans ready to execute the next morning before heading off to bed.
While everyone was asleep, Taeyeon&Jessica was working at the living room, they discussed on what to do the next day.

"Taetae, i was thinking of getting some vitamin pills for the girls"
"and grab a few asthma inhaler for myself"
"and hang out with Krystal"
"Its been a week since i last saw her" said Jessica sadly.

"Oh, getting vitamin pills sounds great"
"Since you'll be getting vitamin pills, then i'll go get some Korean medicine for them"
"We dont want anyone to fall sick" smiled Taeyeon
"And, Sica, i dont think i'll be joining you tomorrow"
"I'll go visit halraeborji tomorrow instead" said Taeyeon

"Okay sure"
"Then i'll ask Tiffany along tomorrow"

"Okay"

Soon, they completed their work but was too tired to even move back to their bed room and fell asleep on the couch in the living room..
