Novagloss - Girl group that shines the most

Nana, Sujin, Angel, Yerin, Ellie

Next day.

Nana POV.

We were all busy dressing up because we were going to meet SHINee guys. Our company and SME wanted us to make song together. As 10-member group. But this is all for some charity that we get to know about later.

While we were dressing I saw how exited Yerin was because of our meeting with SHINee guys. I'm sure that other girls were too, I could see that thanks to their impression but Yerin, she was little bit different. I decided to go and ask her by myself.

,,Yerin, what's wrong?''I asked her

,,Everything is okay, unnie,''she said to me, so-so happily

2 days after Debut

Ellie's POV:
It was already 1PM when I had woken up. I was really tired because we had 2 shows earlier today. But I had to wake up now because I had promised Suhoon to meet his girlfriend, Phyllis, or Lizzy, as she liked to call herself. My brother told me that she was going to debut with her group next month. I already had met her two dongsaengs, but I never had chance to meet her. But meeting her in this situation... seeing not Nana, but her as my older brother's girlfriend is very sad. But maybe she's cool and I could talk with her, and maybe Nana and Suhoon could be friends.
I went to shower and dressed myself up. Short, white pants and a white top. I found a black jacket and asked Angel to give me her beautiful, white high heels. Sujin let me borrow her black bag, and I put some things on it and went out. I took a taxi and told the driver the address of a cafeteria, where I had planned to meet with my brother and Lizzy.
I was in front of the cafeteria when I saw them coming as well. I smiled and shouted,
"Hey Suhoon!" They came to me and I bowed 90-degrees. Lizzy was smiling.
"Hello, I'm Suhoon's younger sister, Minhee, or you can call me Ellie," I was smiling at her.
"Hey Ellie. I'm Lizzy. Or Phyllis, call me what you wish. I'm Suhoon's girlfriend." She bowed to me as well.
"Well, let's go in then," Suhoon said after a short pause and we all went into the cafeteria. Since I didn't eat anything before leaving the dorm, I took a salad and a glass of juice. They both ordered hot chocolates.
We talked a lot. Lizzy told me about her past. She really loves her parents and told us many good things about her. She even told me more about her group and asked me to support them. I started liking her more and more. But not more than Nana, who has to suffer because my brother told me to not tell anything to my unnie.
I left after they both told that they had to go. I went back to the dorm and realized that it was past 5PM already. The girls then told me that we had to go to practice. I changed my clothes quickly and then we left.

Yerin's POV:
I left the dorm before the girls could wake up. I didn't want to tell them that I was going on a date because I wasn't ready to tell them who I was dating. Since Nana is the leader, I'm sure she would be curious.
It was only 8AM and I was sitting on the park bench, waiting for him to come. After a few minutes, he came carrying flowers. He gave them to me and hugged me. He took my hand and we started walking.
"You know, Taemin, that I should tell my unnies and that you should tell your hyungs that we're dating," I was telling him when we stepped out of the park.
"Well, you know I want to tell my hyungs about you already. How we met 6 years ago and how much we love each other. You're the one who doesn't want anyone else to know yet," he reminded me. And he was right: I wasn't ready.
"I'm ready now, but let's do it tomorrow when both our groups are supposed to meet," I decided. I now wanted my group members and the SHINee members to know about this. I didn't want to hide our secret anymore.
We were together for 2 more hours and then we both went back to our separate dorms. He left me with soft kiss on my lips. I arrived to my dorm quickly after Taemin left. I saw that everybody was still asleep and went to change my clothes and crawled into my bed to sleep, as if I hadn't ever been away.

Angel's POV:
I heard my phone ring and after I picked up my phone, I saw that it was my mom who was calling me. I accepted the call and started a conversation.
"Angel honey, we saw your performance last night. You were amazing," was my mom's first comment. She never uses honorifics when she talks with me. She isn't Korean, but rather, my dad is. My mom never starts off with a "Hello", so I'm not surprised.
"Hey mom. Thanks. We tried our best," I said smiling to myself. My mom has always encouraged me.
"Do you have any time today? I would like to go shopping with you," she asked me. I thought. Of course I had time. But only until 6PM, when we had to go train again.
"Yeah, mom. I have a few hours. Sure, I want to meet with you. Come to our dorm and pick me up," I said to her.
"Sure, I'll be there in half an hour," she replied and ended the call. I went to wash up quickly and changed my clothes. She was in front of our dorm after exactly 30 minutes. I sat in her car and put my seatbelt on. Mom started talking about random things. She told me about my father and grandparents. And about my older sister, Christina. She told me that my sister was going to have a baby boy soon with an American guy.
We spent 2 hours to buy new things for the both of us. After that, we went to the cafeteria. Both of us chose ice-cream cocktails. After a few minutes, I saw Ellie and Mika coming into the cafeteria. There was another girl together with Mika. And I was about 100% sure that she wasn't Nana. I saw how Mika looked this girl and quickly understood: They were a couple. But why hasn't Ellie told anything to Nana, to us?
Soon, I left the cafeteria with my mom and I was sure that Ellie hadn't seen us leaving.
I told my mom that I was tired and that I needed a few hours to sleep before the girls and I were going to train. She drove me to my dorm and left me with soft hug. I love my mom.

Sujin's POV:
I woke up at 3 in the afternoon when Nana woke me up, telling me that it was too late to still be sleeping. We started making lunch for us and danced to the radio. After eating, we started playing board games. I lost twice while she only lost once.
We had much fun together. Talking about love, songs, and everything else. This made us more close to each other.
We then started talking about our past. She knows that I led a hard life, when I had lived in China. I definitely wasn't from one of the richest family. I lived for a long time with my grandma who raised me well, but she wasn't able to take care of me for long. I was 14 when she died and somebody found my parents. I started living with them, even if I was angry with them for leaving me like this. My granny couldn't protect me anymore, so, every time when I received a 3 out of a 5 from a lesson, my mom hit me. I had to end school with the best marks. But I knew I wasn't smart enough.
I left for Korea immediately when i reached the age of 18 and that is the only thing in my life that I don't regret.
My relationship with Nana became better. We played a lot of games and for most of them, I lost. I guess I'm not a very good gamer.

Nana's POV:
I was up just a few minutes before the clock showed 2PM. I went to take a shower and to change my clothes. Then I read a book and when the clock showed 3, I told Sujin to wake up. We started cooking and dancing to the songs played on the radio. We then ate and later started playing board games. We conversed about everything, and I felt like we got closer. And I knew that I could trust Sujin.

Sujin’s POV.


“Oppa, wish us luck for tomorrow. You know that we won’t be seeing each other tomorrow.’’ said Ellie, our maknae, to her older brother. In her expression you could see how much she adores him. I only smiled for a second and continued to do the things I was doing before – watching our debut song words one last time before our debut. I was really nervous and if I didn't check them again, everything could go wrong.

“Good luck my princess, and good luck to you, girls.’’ He smiled to all five of us and we thanked him. He had helped us so much for our debut, which is tomorrow. We were so thankful for everything he has done for us. Not only him, but also the other DaeGukNamAh members, too. We were thankful to all of them for helping us with everything.

“Well, I gotta go now. You know, the boys are waiting for me.’’ he hugged his little sister and left. All four of us saw how sad Nana’s expression was and she knew that all she had to do was to go and tell him how strong her feelings to him were, but she couldn’t. We all wished them to be together; they would make such a great couple.

We soon started dancing again. We did it about 5 times, again and again, to be perfect for the next day. Tomorrow's shows decides whether we have enough fans to go on with our group. I hope we do, because we really don’t want to be a group that will disband after its first live performance.

We were all really tired so we sat down to take a 10-minutes break. We were all thinking about something. I thought about tomorrow: it was going to be a big day. Yeah, we all have done live shows before, but not as a group where we have to be singing and dancing all together at the same time.
Suddenly, Nana threw a bottle of water at each of us and we thanked her. The bottle was almost empty when I stopped drinking, and then we realized that 10 mintes has passed, so we resumed practicing.


Angel’s POV.

I was listening to our songs and suddenly saw Mika smiling at us. I didn’t know why he was smiling, but I smiled back. He was talking with Ellie about something, but because I was listening to my music, I couldn’t hear what they were talking about. Then I saw him leaving and how sad Nana’s face was. I wanted to hug her but I couldn’t because it was her own fault; she has to tell Mika how she feels about him.

Ellie came to me and told me to take off the headphones because we were going to start practicing again. I turned my music off and stood up. We did some bending and soon started to dance. I think everybody did well, even if we are really nervous.

We practiced our dance about 5 times and then decided to take a 10-minutes break. We sat down and everybody was quiet. At first I thought everybody was thinking about tomorrow, but then I saw Nana’s face and how much pain she was in. Not physical pain, but mental pain. I could see it on her face. She was suffering, but she knows that she could end this by telling Mika how she feels.


Ellie’s POV.

“Oppa, wish us luck for tomorrow. You know that we won’t be seeing each other tomorrow.’’ I said to my older brother, Suhoon. We made deal that he would never call me Ellie as long as I never called him as Mika. I was smiling at him; he was the best brother anyone could wish for.

“Good luck my princess, and good luck to you, girls.” he smiled at all five of us and we thanked him in return. He helped us so much for our debut, which is tomorrow. Not only him, but also his brothers from DaeGukNamAh too. We are really thankful to all of them. They know how we feel. It’s a little bit more than a year now since they had debuted, but they still remember this nervous feeling what they had before their first performance.

“Well, I gotta go now. You know, the boys are waiting for me.’’ he hugged me softly and left. He was lying about the boys. They are not waiting for them. Rather, his girlfriend is. He said this only because I told him that Nana likes him and she doesn’t know that he already has someone he loves. I told Suhoon that he should talk to Nana about this. I don’t want to see my unnie suffering, but he thinks it will make everything go down. He thinks it will break her. I think the same way, but she needs to know not to suffer until the truth comes out. Someday she has to know. And I hope that time comes better sooner than later.

I told Angel that we should start dancing again and so we practiced our choreography about 5 times. By the time we decided to do 10-minutes break, we were totally breathless. We fell deeply to our minds but after about 8 minutes, Nana threw us bottles of water. My bottle was empty in half a minute. I was sweating so much that I needed a lot of water. Then we realized that it was already time to start practicing again.

Yerin’s POV.

“Oppa, wish us luck for tomorrow. You know that we won’t be seeing each other tomorrow.’’ said Ellie, our maknae, to her older brother. In her expression you could see how much she adores him.

“Good luck my princess, and good luck to you, girls.’’ He smiled to all five of us and we thanked him. He had helped us so much for our debut, which is tomorrow.

“Well, I gotta go now. You know, the boys are waiting for me.’’ He hugged her little sister and left. I saw Nana who watched him until the door closed. She was a little bit sad, but we all know why – she is crazy about him. Mika was the only one who couldn’t see her feelings.

We started practicing our dance and after that, our debut song, for the last time before our big debut the next day. People are waiting for this. And how do I know? Angel and Sujin sang a duet about one and a half year ago for one CF, Nana is known for her rapping skills and so does Ellie. They covered Tasha’s song and I sang a song for one drama. People loved our vocals. I was meant to be a solo singer at first, but it changed 7 months ago when our new company owner put us together. And we worked it out.

Nana’s POV.

“Oppa, wish us luck for tomorrow. You know that we won’t be seeing each other tomorrow.’’ said Ellie, our maknae, to her older brother. In her expression you could see how much she adores him. I was busy with preparing things so, I didn’t listen much about what they were talking before, but now I got the point.

“Good luck my princess, and good luck to you, girls.” He smiled to all five of us and we thanked him. He helped us so much for our debut, which is tomorrow. We all are really nervous and we can’t say who is more, who are less. It’s our first time singing all together, as one. We all five have sing solo song before, alone or with someone else, but not as a group. We already want to know what people are thinking our debut song.

“Well, I gotta go now. You know, the boys are waiting for me.’’ he hugged her little sister and left. I stared at him until the door was closed. I was sad. I didn’t want him to leave, I didn’t have any time to chat with him, but thinking of which, what would I say to him?

I turned our debut song on and took a deep breath. We started dancing, but every second I felt I was doing wrong. Not with the dance, with Mika. My feeling for him makes me suffer. As much as I want to tell him how I feel, I can’t tell him, because it won’t be a good idea. Maybe he doesn’t look at me the same way I look at him.

After dancing for 5 times, over and over again, we decided to take a 10-minute break and sat down. We were all quiet, thinking about something. I closed my eyes and wanted to sleep but I know that I should be awake and cheer everybody up for tomorrow’s break in the big music industry, as a real leader should do. But I was too tired to say anything so I threw a bottle of water to everyone. The girls said thanks. We then realized that 10 minutes passed. We then resumed practicing.
