Chapter 21

It’s just an accident

The time has come to introduce the new WW club member.

The lights went out and a spotlight was put into the entrance to the ballroom. When the door opened Suzy walked in. Suzy is as gorgeous as ever.  Slightly behind her is Krystal and Hara.  They are like 2 Angels. A few steps behind them is Sulli.

Just behind Sulli is Jonghyun and Minho who looked like her escorts.

They walked from the entrance to the stage like a wedding entourage.

Everyone is amazed. It’s like they’re seeing goddesses that went down to the earth. And the head of the goddesses is….

No one could believe their eyes, especially people from Sun Life…The woman walking at the center…That beautiful woman who’s glowing of beauty…

Is Choi Sulli!

She’s y, beautiful and Shinning!

When they came up on stage, the microphone was given to Minho. Minho moved to the front.

“Hello Everyone. I’m pleased to see a full ballroom tonight. Thank you for taking time out to be here. I know people had to prepare and had to squeeze this event into your busy schedules. But let me tell you that you’re time going here will be worthwhile. I am Minho Choi. I am the leader of WW club. As you all may already be aware of. WW club is the prime club of Sun Life where we have the brightest talents of the country. So let me introduce to you once more my members.” Said Minho

“Suzy Bae. Our Olympic gymnastic champion” Suzy moved to the front and waved at everyone

“Krystal Jung, Our Ice Skating champion.” Krystal also moved to the front and bowed

“Hara Goo, our Chess champion.” Hara moved to the front and waved to everyone.

“Jonghyun Lee, our virtuoso.” Jonghyun moved to the front and bowed

“Together we make up the WW club…until today.” Said Minho “As you my already know, for more than 10 years, there is only 5 seats on WW club. Nobody has even gotten close to being a member.  But this school year, it seems we found our match. Everyone, please help me welcome our newest member.” Said Minho

Suzy, Hara, Jonghyun and Krystal moved back.

“Please welcome, our genius, Sulli Choi!” announced Minho

Everyone clapped their hands.

Sulli’s knees are shaking. But she can do this. She took a deep breath and walked to the front beside Minho.

Minho covered the microphone.

“Show them what you got.” Said Minho and gave the microphone to Sulli while winking

Sulli smiled at that and held the microphone firmly.

“Good Evening, Everyone. Albert Einstein once said ‘Do not strive to be a success but rather to be of value’. When I was growing up, I did not care about success…I did not care about hard work or effort. I was comfortably living as though everyone around me will be there for me forever. And so when I learned that nothing stays forever, it was a hard inner struggle. When I tried to put had work on whatever I do, I learned that I can do well. But I never expected that people will consider me genius just because I’m trying to do my best. Because of people’s expectations of me, success became my goal. My grades should be on top. Until I forgot why I wanted to be successful in the first place. “ said Sulli

Everyone is silently listening to her.

“But these past few weeks…I have seen what I have lost…and that is the value of what I do. Looking at WW club, they do everything because of friendship. They fight battles together. One’s problem is the problem of all. They are there for each other through ups…and most specially downs…And that’s where I saw what value is about. You can’t call yourself a success without knowing the value of what you do. And in WW club, each member accomplishes not just successful things…but valuable things.” Sulli took a deep breath

“From today onwards, I promise to do everything I can to honor being a WW club member. I will make sure that the trust Sun Life has given me will not go to waste. Rest assured that I will do my best to achieve greater heights for Sun Life.” Said Sulli

Everyone stood up and clapped their hands. Sulli saw IU and Wooyoung on one of the tables and   waved at them. She even saw her parents wearing formal clothes at another table. It made Sulli give a questioning look to Minho. Minho just shrugged his shoulders and grinned.

Sulli’s parents were escorted to the stage. Her Mom almost ran to her to hug her. Her Dad also hugged her. Their tears both falling for what their child achieved. Sulli felt like tears sting her eyes…That proud moment that she was able to give her parents, makes her heart swell with joy.

Sulli feels really good…Finally…She’s now an official WW club member!
