Standing Together

Description

Taeyeon, after that terrible kidnapping incident, feels different. It's a scary world for her all of a sudden, and she sees everything differently. The members all feel the same too, not knowing who to trust anymore. Can they unite, and stand tall for their fans? Or will they fall down, never again to be what they were? These girls, no, these sisters, were fated to be together, to love together, to cry together, to be happy beyond sheer belief, all together. But when one member was almost stolen, will all that remain the same?

Taeyeon: SNSD's beautiful leader, who was almost kidnapped at a concert. Lucklily, she was saved by Sunny, but even so, she has lingering feelings about that incident. She's the rope that holds everyone together, but her duty as the rope is to never fall apart. If she does, the members will help her up, and tie her right back. Has that rope become too frayed to tie again?

Jessica: the ice princess who can be both that and also a warm unnie for the girls. She's Taeyeon's shoulder to cry on when she needs it, and will take over the leader's position when Taeyeon is not there as the second eldest. She's known for her sculpted face, almost as if it was made of ice. The girls like to joke that she's warm ice that can only be melted by the cheerful pill Sunny. She was in the front singing when Taeyeon was almost kidnapped, and blames herself for not stopping to see what was happening. Do you know what happens to ice when something unexpected hits it? It shatters, breaks, cracks. Both her and the girls know that, and they fight so that nothing unexpected will hit Jessica. But something just did.

Sunny: The gorgeous shorty who saved Taeyeon with her quick thinking and fast reflexes. Although she acts cute, she's the most mature of them all, fierce to the point of being scary when need be. She's close to all the members, often engaging in skinship and holding hands with them. It's her way of saying, “It’s okay, I'm here for you." But even she knows that's not always enough, especially in times like this. So what is? If the cheerful pill, the pillar of strength can't even get the girls' spirits up, what can?

Tiffany: Taeyeon's best friend with the amazing eyesmile, made specially by God to charm your socks off whenever she decides something is funny and laughs. She is a fluent English speaker along with Jessica, and prides herself on being able to communicate with lots of fans. But will the love of her devoted fans be enough to help her when there’s the increasing pressure on her best friend, Taeyeon, who’s slowly suffocating?

Hyoyeon: the powerful dancer, gorgeous, yet underestimated. She has taken a lot of hate for not saving Taeyeon like Sunny did, but was it really that bad to be scared? Must she always be brave for everyone? She knows the answer, and believe me, she's trying so hard. But it's one mistake. She now has to carry the weight of not saving her sister with her wherever she goes. And as a dancer, can she fly the way she used to, even with the weight of the world on her shoulders?

Yuri: the goddess who can transform into everything, and make anyone love her. She’s close with Yoona and Jessica, all of them together would shock you, that’s how beautiful they are. But she’s more than beauty. She’s also happiness, like when Yoona won all those awards for her acting. She’s sadness, when at the Dream Concert, when they were hit with glow sticks. And now she’s scared. Scared for her leader, scared for her sisters, and scared for her fans. But strangely, not scared for herself.

Sooyoung: Tall, dark, and thin. She has a great sense of humor and can dance. From the eyes of many, she’s perfect. But not to herself. She once said that she thinks she doesn’t have any fans, only old uncle fans. Can she ever feel the love she, for some reason, has forbidden herself from feeling? Or will she have to fall on the love of her sisters, who will then help her stand up again? Sometimes, you can't do everything alone. Secrets are meant to be told, and burdens are made to be shared.

Yoona: the visual, constantly surrounded by both extreme love, and intense hate. She’s not sure which one she likes more, since they’re both just pressure. She’s confused now. In the beginning, she felt so blessed with the gift God gave her, her face, her body, and her acting skills. Then she thought it was a curse, with all the people mocking her laugh and her non-existent figure. Then came the hate, a missile that hit Yoona full on. She never knew how cruel people could be. But now she knows. It’s a test, to see if she can withstand the pressure. She’s sure she will fail.

Seohyun: she considers herself the smartest in the group, of course, along with her beautiful Sunny. But when Sunny’s instincts kicked in at that fateful concert, and hers didn’t, she’s ready to doubt all that. She knows she’s not as pretty as the others, not as funny as the others, heck, all she can do is sing, and Taeyeon is best at that. Well, that’s what she thinks. Obviously, the maknae, as wise as she is, can be wrong sometimes.

Chapter 4: Tiffany being quite possessive over things, selfishness could go with it too. And because more than showing your tears and cry in front of people, the hardest is when tears don't come when people expect you to cry. To cry or not to cry huh ?

Chapter 3: What the ?! SUNNY. AHHHHHH. NO NO NO. And omg. Just when I fell in love with YoonSun, I read this. HA. I can't believe my luck !!! I like how it fits perfectly, the jobs offer and Sunny refusing because they all involve a kiss scene.
Also, you made a little typo, it's supposed to be "pat" and not "at" in the sentence "give her an encouraging at on the back".

Although there's no link with Taeyeon in this chapter... It's still good !

Chapter 2: I see how people say they miss Taeyeon and Jessica interacting together like in the old days but I wasn't around at that time so... And I don't doubt Jessica's love for the other members at all. Once again, everything that you wrote could be.

Chapter 1: I really like the direction the story has taken under your words, the way you show the dark side of it all. Which wouldn't be surprising, although I wouldn't like it to be true ! Haha. Anyway, good job !! I really love your writing style.
