Jihyun sat on her bed unpacking the rest of her clothes. She was the only one in the room that she shared with YF and J.Soo. She was glad to finally be alone. After the company finalized the members of the group, Jihyun had to spend more time with the other girls. It wasn’t something she enjoyed doing. She prefered to be alone especially since she didn’t know the girls that well. Ari had seen her sitting alone and tried to make conversation. After a few minutes of small talk, Ari could tell she wasn’t interested in a conversation. The visual didn't offer much and just nodded or shook her head, even at questions that didn't have a yes or no answer. Eventually, Ari gave up and went to the kitchen to join the other girls.

"So we've given you each your individual schedules. Make sure you follow them exactly. Be prompt and if you're confused on anything feel free to ask us. Once you girls start doing things individually, your schedules will begin to vary. You may be the only one working or everyone might be doing something. Always contact us so we can get you to your schedules on time." The first manager, Kim Sojung explained.

"Lastly, tomorrow you start filming for your show. It's just a small series that is going to highlight your debut days. It's not a strict script like variety shows, but we expect you girls to act a certain way and do certain things, but make it look natural." The 2nd manager, Lee Mungsoo said. He looked around at the girls faces for any sign of confusion. They all nodded their heads and said “ne” so he ended the meeting.

"We have to be up early to practice one last time before our d
