March 29, 2015
The CEO had called eight girls into the meeting room that day, which to him was actually later than usual of what he had expected. Yet, it had to be done in order for them to be able to debut and record soon. The eight girls, with the memory of when they had gotten the tour of the building, had successfully found the meeting room. They all sat down, looking at the other girls who were called to the 'meeting,' some people in disgust at others.

"I'm sorry to have called you all on such a short noticce," the CEO had said as he folded his hands before looking at each girl at least once. "I assume you all know why you're here, but if not I will explain to you. Today, you will not address each other as 'trainees,' but 'members.' Today marks the beginning of your debut preperations, starting with your dorms. In a little while, Minji will direct you to a van that seats nine, which will take you to your new home. There, you will meet your managers as well as choose your rooms. Right now, though, I will be going over your individual positions of the group as well as the information of the group." He placed his suitcase on the tabletop, taking out a file that had '03.28.2015' on it, which was supposed to be the day they debuted as a group, but was a no go. "This is not based on my own preference, but it is based on your ability towards the said position I willl be giving you all. Valerie Williams, you will be the lead vocalist and lead dancer."

A petite figure nodded her head, while one had rolled her eyes in disgust. Valerie eyed Yeonyul before shrugging. No one knew as to why the two were on such tough terms with each other, yet it was obvious the two did not like each other's presence.

"Wang Sanjna," One of the eight girls sat straight up in her seat, signaling that she was listening, "You will be the jack of all trades, meaning that you are a rapper, dancer, and vocalist." Sanjna nodded her head with a smile.

"Jung Geummi, you will be the main rapper and lead dancer of the group," Gummy clasped her hands together, nodding as her facial expression was full of joy.

"Naomi Park, you will be the lead dancer and rapper of the group," Naomi nodded with the same expression as Gummy had. Gummy looked over at Nae.O as she threw two thumbs up in her direction, which made Nae.O chuckle.

"Son Jiyeon, you will be the lead rapper and vocalist," Joyce nodded with quite a cool and collected expression, although she threw a small smile as well.

"Han Hoyeon, you will be the main dancer and lead rapper," Yeonyul edmitted a smile as she thanked the CEO. Yet, Valerie gave a small 'tsk,' which Yeonyul only ignored.

"Kang Dain, you will be one of two main vocalists," Dani nodded with a wide smile, thanking Tae Won as well.

"Lydia Kim, since you are the youngest of the group you are automatically the maknae," Lya nodded with a smile, looking at each of her new unnies. "You are also the lead dancer and vocalist of the group. Also, the group is a nine member group, but unfortunately Constance Cheung could not make it today due to a family vacation. Therefore when she arrives back, please show her to her new room as well as welcome your main vocalist with open arms." Everyone nodded, 'yesses' and 'yeahs' flying from everyone's mouths.

"Ah, and before I forget I have to reveal the leader, visual and face of the group." The girls suddenly sat up with all ears towards Tae Won, wanting to hear if either of them were the leader, visual or face. "Constance Cheung is the visual of the group, considering her countless of photoshoots and appearances in musicals out of Korea. Wang Sanjna is the face of the group, considering her amount of modelling works, acting and osts that were already released prior to debut. In my own opinion, though, there is no official visual or face, considering that all of you have your own beauty and have made appearances every now and then." The girls cringed at the CEO's comment, some even laughing at it. Tae Won emitted a small chuckle as well before coughing as a sign to continue his speech. "The leader will be Jung Geummi, considering that your trainer had told me you are dedicated, confident, and usually cheer others up when they're down. You are also the second oldest of the group, So you are able to control the younger girls more than Constance, who is the eldest, since you are closer to their age than she is." Gummy nodded with a small thank you, looking at the other girls with a smile.

"Now I'll tell you all about the group as a whole." He began giving each and every one of the girls sheet music to their debut song, 'Into The New World.' After he handed out the sheet music he continued, "This is your title song of your debut album. Your producer, who you will meet tomorrow, will give you more insight to the song. Your group name is 'Yesterday Tomorrow Today' or for short, 'Y.T.T.' The name derived from a Kung Fu Panda quote: "Yesterday is a history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present." Your slogan will be "Yesterday's history, Tomorrow's a mystery, but Today's a gift. That's why it's called the present," however your introduction as a whole group will be chosen by you girls and your managers. You and the managers will also choose names for your fanclub as well as colors, and the final decision will be chosen between me and your managers. Any questions?"

No one spoke up, knowing that he had mentioned all the information and facts towards the group. Some had smiles plastered on their faces, knowing very well that they will soon debut.

"Okay," Tae Won said, "You girls may keep those music sheets to look over before you meet with the producer at the studio tomorrow. Now, we will discuss you all as individuals, starting with Valerie."

Valerie looked at him with wide eyes, "Yes, sir?" Tae Won pulled out a piece of paper along with a pen, "Please tell me your stage name. That is all that I need from each of you. If you have a fanclub name and/or fanclub color you may tell your managers and they will inform me of it. Valerie, stage name, please."

Each girl had told him their stage names, whereas Constance's stage name had stayed her name until further notice.

"Okay, great! Now Minji will take you to the van and you will be on your way to your dorm. Congratulations to you all and I will meet you at the studio tomorrow." Everyone stood up, bowing and thanking their CEO before following Minji, who was by the door, towards the van.


Once they had arrived to the building, which was located in the corner of an intersection, they were in awe towards the modern feel of the building. After getting directions from Minji as to where their dorm would be at, they nodded waving goodbye to Minji.

"Wah, this even the inside looks so modern," Nae.O yelled aloud once they had entered their supposedly new dorm room. The maknae nodded with a smile, as she began to jump up and down with Nae.O. The other girls walked in after them, eyeing the two maknaes, some even laughing at them.

"Ah, weren't we suppose to meet our managers," Gummy said, taking the leader position very seriously. The other girls, nodded before looking around for them. Suddenly, the front door opened, revealing a woman who was carrying a baby and a man. The girls eyed them, before Gummy walked causually towards them, "Are you the managers?"

The man and woman nodded before some of the girls began to help bring their things in. The petite woman began to speak, "I'm quite sorry we're late. We had a lot of things to bring up here and I had to change this little youngster's diaper." She poked her child's nose, which made the child giggle a bit. The girls awed the cute baby she was carrying, some even going towards the baby only to pinch his cheeks. "I'm Son Hyo Mi, and this is my husband, Son Hyun Sik." Hyun Sik waved, carrying the other stuff into the dorm with the help of Yeonyul, Rie, and Joyce.

Hyun Sik then spoke before heaving a relieved sigh, "We were actually here beforehand with the CEO to look at the dorm, so we'll be giving you a tour." Hyo Mi shook her head, "No, no. I'm giving the tour. You need to set up our things in our room, plus the baby's room." Hyun Sik dipped his head down before nodding, bringing the boxes and luggages one by one down the hallway.

Hyo Mi then smiled, "Let me give you all a tour. Oh, and is anyone willing to carry the child?" Rie's hand suddenly shot up, which made Hyo Mi and som of the other members chuckle. Hyo Mi nodded, "All right. Do you like kids?"

"Like? I love kids," Rie went towards Hyo Mi, who gave her the baby. Rie smiled, tickling the Jun's stomach, which made him laugh. Hyo Mi was in shock, "Wow, you're a natural!" Rie shrugged, "I took care of children growing up since our neighbors didn't want to pay for a babysitter. So I would usually be the one to take care of their children, for free of course." Hyo Mi nodded before signalling all the girls to follow her down the hallway that Hyun Sik had walked through.

Chapter 58: to be quite honest, i never got to read the last few updates since last year I had been taking a break from aff. however, now i took the time to read the last few chapters and i really appreciate the amount of thought you put into your story.
i like that there are parts that focus on each individual member since it was easier getting to know (or remembering) the girls like this. i also liked the way rie's and yeonyul's conflict was resolved, with rie helping yeonyul to get into the hospital on time. this is also the first time that a story progressed until my characters' love interest came into the picture (often, apply fics are discontinued very soon - i don't blame anyone since i've been guilty of that, too, but it really made me appreciate your dedication to this project). so when zico and yeonyul talked on the phone, my heart stopped for a bit even though i had been a bit crushed about him trying to get back with joyce before.
another favorite moment of mine was when jungkook asked rie why he isn't like jin hyung to her.
ngl, i really don't like reading about 'sensitive topics' - thank you for writing the warning for this chapter. but i like the slightly hopeful open end. i was kinda rooting for jongsuk and dani after he got mentioned in, like, the first chapters.
overall i think that the finale is a great way to wrap the story up properly and i'm very happy that you invested so much time into the story!

Annyeong~! There is no way for me to make up for the time that passed but I just wanted to say that I'll keep reading your stories and I'm trying to be active again! It's just that I'm still on chapter 15, yes I'm re-reading everything for it all to make sense to me ><
I had a lot of things going on, and old stories on aff made me go back to those times and I was trying to keep myself out of it but I can't, I need to read ytt's final and eight is not at fault that based her on something that now is ruined ._. Neither you have any fault and I need to think about others a little, I would be sad in your shoes that my readers aren't saying anything so here I am, imma start commenting from where I missed just that is taking me a while to get to chapter 31 and from there to the end, but I will do it even if you already finished it by then I'm still leaving my comments :)
Thank you once again for being the forever ever lasting author that I don't deserve to meet but I'm serious when I say you are the only one that never gave up despite everything <3 you are the best! and I'm really sorry that for the first time I was the one that disappeared first and that you didn't deserve... I'm really sorry about that.

Chapter 55: H E L P. this was amazing. and i know i might sound redundant since this has become some kind of set phrase of mine when talking about your chapters but ,, sigh it's so good. at first I didn't really know where it was going, my poor concon. hopefully now that she knows what was missing she'll find a way to let them know. it's never too late, anyway.

Chapter 53: dear longest author of applyfics that i know and love :) i know I have no way to make you stay because a decision is a decision and im rather sure you deliberated about it for a long long time the way we know you.
I'm really sorry I havent helped you for the past months. I was really irresponsible and inactive around aff. I must say I understand your attempt at applying to applyfics because that is a sort of quick way to evade your busy life and write something you would root and ship and so on, I totally understand.
Its hard to explain why it took me so long to comment because I had a post-it note on my laptop saying "YTT!" to remind me that whenever I got a free time I have a lot to be updated on! Its not that I dont read, I do, just that on phone and it just seems so hard to comment properly on phone that I always tell myself you deserve better so I will comment properly when i'm on laptop... But its really hard to be on laptop nowadays ;; i'm going to let you know part of it so i'm moving cities again so i'm looking for a new home, I got an injury on my knee and shoulder that I have been sleeping by taking painkillers because I cant take time off work now that I need to rent another place in a bigger City so YES i'm feeling like an old hag XD everytime I get home I end up taking the medicine and falling asleep and that is pretty much What I can explain that have kept me away and unable to properly present you with my huge comments like I used to!
But I will try, I really will try, to properly comment on everything I didn't yet, before you post the last chapter!
I'm really sorry and I hope nothing serious is going on in your real life ;; fighting! I love you <3
Ps: I wanna read your next story as long as is not u.u

Chapter 53: dear author, don't worry about it !! this was the applyfic which lasted longer among all of those i applied too, and, i can tell, also my favourite by far. i love the way you write and how you move our characters bringing them all to life in the best way possible, you probably already know how much i feverishly adore your story telling skills ( in case it wasn't evident in all of those lenghty comments i posted here from time to time ) and i'll continue supporting you in the future if you decide to write something else on aff. i know what it means to be so busy you can't even find the time to do what you like most. i also am in uni and i also have this urge to write but i barely succeed in doing it because of all the assignments and courses and parents and housecare and whatever and i never do it here 'cause i wouldn't wanna be the one to start a fic and then just leave it there hangin, like i already did in the past. reading this fic was amazing, your mind overflows with innovative creativity, i really would never get the ideas you got for all the different updates ( e.g. shall we talk about that lovely kakao talk chat? a ma zing ) and you always deliver compelling chapters that add up to the value of this fic. loved loved loved ytt, wish you all the best !! xoxo
