Chapter 19
☪ Enchanted | A 2010 Girl Group
DECEMBER 16th, 2010
Four girls sat on the floor of their tiny one-bedroom apartment.
Four girls could only mind numbingly think about what had occurred earlier that day.
"Why do I feel like we got fired?" Ana's soft voice met the other members ears.
"Feels more like a demotion," Kyojin uttered, eyes downcast.
"Why are they throwing us out? What about their other groups?" Sara frowned, pulling her legs to her chest to rest her chin on her knees.
"Maybe, it could be a good thing?" Ellie, uncertainly, spoke. Her mind was racing to try and think of any positives to tell her members, to try and make them feel better.
"How could SM getting rid of us be a good thing?" Sara scoffed.
"Maybe... maybe we won't be ignored?" the leader was pulling at strings. She didn't like this revelation either, but it was her role to make sure her members were okay. Mentally and physically.
"What do you mean?" Ana questioned.
"Well," she took a deep breath, "the branch is new right? So that means we are their only artist, their only priority."
"Their only source of income," the French blooded member sneered. "Besides, how long can a company last with one artist? Another group will come along soon."
"Then we have to prove ourselves," Kyojin bit her lip. "We prove Enchanted is worth it."
DECEMBER 17th, 2010
Four pairs of eyes soaked in the sight around them.
The Imagine Music building was huge, with grey bricks and light grey paneling. Walking in, the walls were covered in traditional colored bricks. It was warm. Even Sihyun was hesitant in his steps towards the front desk. "Enchanted is here to see Seo Yeseul."
The woman at the desk looked up with a blinding smile. "I'll buzz you right in! Just take the elevator to the fourth floor and check in with Lee-ssi at the waiting desk. Welcome to Imagine Music!"
Enchanted followed the buzzing sound, 'ooh'ing at the glass door next to the desk opening on its own. Doing just as the woman said, they noticed the brick theme was throughout the whole building.
Once they reached the fourth floor another bubbly woman was at this waiting desk. The girls took in everything they could with wide eyes, wondering how much money SM Entertainment gave this branch.
"Enchanted, the president will see you now."
Some of the girls legs were shaking at the prospect of seeing the pretty woman from before.
"Ah, Enchanted, so lovely to see you again," Yeseul's smile was gentle and kind, her long legs were crossed at the ankles underneath her desk, her well manicured fingers perfectly poised over her keyboard. She fluidly stood up, gesturing for them to leave the small modern office. "Let's not crowd ourselves in that stuffy room, I'll give you the tour of the building while I explain more of Imagine Music's vision for Enchanted."
The girls silently followed the president.
"On this floor is a bunch of boring departments, this is the floor you would come to if you need to see me or have any kind of meeting. Hmm, should we go to the top floor or start going down?" the woman wondered aloud, staring at the elevator buttons and back towards the door leading to the stairs.
"There's more floors?" Kyojin openly gaped. SM didn't even have this many floors!
"Well, sort of," she chuckled. "Come on, I'll show you and then we can go to the third floor."
The members were amazed at what the top floor revealed to be. An open concept gym, with a pool and large flat screen too!
"I've always been a fan of water sports, and it's a great way to exercise! Plus, I thought you girls would prefer working out in the privacy
