divorced. There was still some concern for me in her voice, but when she smiled to lighten me up, I smiled back at her as well.

"Annyeong haseyo eonni." Kim Min Hae and Yun Baek Ki greeted me too.

The first one had medium-lenght, dark-blonde hair. Her face has a slight round shape, her eyes were like Yang Suk Ki's. Her nose was more Occident like than Asian-like and the shape of her mouth made her look like she was always sulking. When she was younger, everyone believed that she looked older because of this. But now she looked exactly like her age: 19 years old. She may look arrogant and spoiled, but she wasn't really like that. It was only her character on stage, but she was gentle and friendly with people. Yun Baek Ki though, was the personification of the youth. Teenage body problem, twisted moods, naiveness and cuteness, she had it all. And thanks to her really short dark brown hair, big brown eyes, her heart-shaped face and the chubby cheeks, it was damn hard to resist to her.

"Annyeong haseyo to you too girls." I greeted them back. They didn't have a glue of what happened yesterday because they were shopping at DDM. I didn't tell them anything because I was closer to Yang Suk Ki than them. It's not that I didn't trust them, it's just that Yang Suk Ki had more experience with this kind of stuff than all of us put together.

"Did you sleep well?" Yang Suk Ki asked me.

"Yeah..Well, thanks for letting me sleep in your bed." I mumbled, thanking her.

"You're welcome." She replied simply, going back to eat her breakfast.

I started to eat mine too when Yun Baek Ki spoke. "Why did you sleep in eonni's bed?" She asked me.

Damn it! What do I say now? "Because.. I had a nightmare and I didn't want to sleep alone." I said randomly. But I also looked her straight in the eyes, to make her believe the lie, even if it wasn't completely a lie.

"Ah." She nodded and then got back to eating like nothing.

"Eonni!" Kim Min Hae suddenly called me out. "Your eyes, they are all swollen!" She exclaimed pointing them.

"And your nose. It's all red." The maknae added staring at it. I involuntary touched my face. Damn it!

"Ah..yeah." I mumbled without knowing what to say. "I think I caught a cold." I confessed in the end.

"Did you cr-" 

Yang Suk Ki interrupted her before she could end the sentence. She changed the topic to distract them. What a luck "Is your voice alright? Can you sing?" She asked me, acting like she was actually challenging me.

"The vocal coach is always strict with this kind of stuff. He's not gonna like it when he finds out eoni." Yun Baek Ki reminded me. She looked worried. Instead, it relieved me because now I was sure that she had totally fallen for Yang Suk Ki's trap.

I waved my hand as to brush away her worries. "Don't worry." I replied. "It's nothing serious, I can sing." I assured her. I secretly thanked my eonni for the help and winked at her.

She secretly blinked at me and then she continued with her act. "Really? Prove it! Sing something." She challenged me, perfectly knowing that I was excellent at singing.

"You don't believe me? I'll show you!" I played with her. I lightened my throat and I started to sing You've Got The Love by Florence and the machine. Just the Intro and a piece of the Chorus.



* *  Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air * *

I know I can count on you

Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care"

But you've got the love I need to see me through

* * You've got the love (x3) * *


 
The youngsters applauded like crazy fans. "Woo! Brava!" They shouted in italian. I obviously taught a lot of other words when I came to YG.

"Grazie! Grazie!"(Thank you) I thanked them, doing little bows, then I glanced at Yang Suk ki. "Allora?"(So) I asked her.

She surrendered. "Ok Okay. I got it. You’re a monster of a singer, even with a cold." She added.

"I told you so."

She lowered her hands and crossed them. "But you still have the swollen eyes. What are you gonna do about them?" She replied seriously.

"Molla.." I confessed, losing my boldness.

"I knew it." She shook her head.

"Ooh." Yun Baek Ki raised her hand up, like she was in class. "I can help you with that eonni!"

"Really?" I looked at her with hopeful eyes. She was the only hope I had so that people wouldn't point at my big, swollen eyes in the corridors.

"Sure!” She replied, confident in herself. “With a little foundation cream, those bags will disappear in no time." She added, making me happier.

"Komawò Baek-ya! Sei proprio un tesoro!" I said grabbing her hands.

"What's that mean?" She asked smiling but then frowning.

"It means that you're really a treasure, silly!"

"Oh Thank you eonni." She thanked me, but I think I was the one to thanking her more. Then I let her hands and got back to eating my breakfast.

"I hope it works." Yang Suk Ki said, unconvinced. A minute later, she suddenly added. "I think that only a man's love can really make them disappear." She said without making eye contact.

"Men are all idiots." I said before I could stop myself. Aish! It was all Ji Yong's fault. That Pabo! How could have he kissed me just to shut me up? Without even asking me first? If I see him around, I’m gonna punch that damn beautiful face of his! No wait...beautiful? Get back to yourself girl. I shook my head. Remember, he’s the one that kissed you without asking you first. Don’t get fooled by his pretty face. I focused on that fact.

"Not all of them.” Yang Suk Ki replied. “Ji Won oppa is not an idiot. Well, sometimes he is, but that’s not the point.” She kept talking and eating at the same time. She paused then and lifted her eyes to meet mine. “Haven't you ever asked yourself why I look younger than my age?"

I heavily sigh. "Let me guess, it’s all thanks to your oppa?!" I muttered tired. Tired of her and her boyfriend. How can you brag about your boyfriend when I'm in this situation? I glared at her.

"Aish! Enough eonni!” The two girls complained with her. “We're tired of you braging about your boyfriend all the time!"

"I wasn't bragging about him. It was just saying." She defended herself.

"Thanks, but no thanks." I said annoyed. “I don’t need a boyfriend now.” I replied irritated.

"I'm really sorry to say this eoni, but she's right." Kim Min Hae said, as I glared at her. "I'm sorry eoni, but it's true. When I was with my ex, I noticed that I didn't have any bags or swollen eyes." Then she pointed at her eyes. "But now look at me, My eyes are always swollen."

"See!” Yang Suk Ki exclaimed. “I’ve told you so! Only the love of a man, can really make them disappear, you don't need any make up because he takes care of you." I snorted even though I knew that she was right, because I remembered that when I was with my ex, Davide. I had a flawless skin too.

"Jinjia? Wah.. How I'd like to have a boyfriend too." Yun Baek Ki melted at the idea of having one, but for me and the other girls, that idea was intolerable.

"NEVER!" We exclaimed at the same time.

"Wae? Why can’t I?" She looked at us, confused and sulking.

"Don't you dare think about boys till you're 18." Yang Suk Ki said strictly and firmly, and we all agreed with her, except for Yun Baek Ki.

"Waee?" She complained.

"Because you're too young, for crying out loud!" Yang Suk Ki replied in hard voice. She stared at the maknae’s face to make her understand the point. “And plus you know you're parents would say the same thing. So you couldn’t date even I wanted to. You have to have their permission first.” She added more gently.

The maknae didn’t reply, but her expression said everything. She stood up from the chair and went back towards our shared room. I heard though a rumble sentence that sounded like: "Always the same story..It’s not fair.." Before she slammed the door behind her. Kim Min Hae ran after her to comfort her.

Yang Suk Ki sighed tired. I knew exactly how she felt because I felt the same way. We partially felt guilty, for treating her like that when we always talked about dating. The thing was that she was so young and so careless. And be careless with boys wasn't the greatest thing to do. Me and Yang Suk Ki felt like we had to protect her from the world. Well not the entire world, just from the Jerks.

When we stayed alone, I glared at her. "Why did you bring that up? You know that she's sensitive."

“I didn’t do it on purpose.” She replied. "I didn't bring it up because of her, but because of you." She said, then she looked up at the two cameramen who were recording us. “You’re gonna cut that scene right?!” She asked, referring to Yun Baek Ki’s drama scene of earlier. One of the two man nodded.

I acted like I had seen and heard nothing and continued to chat normally with her. "Well, like I already said earlier,  I don't need a boyfriend now." I repeated.

"Your face says something else." She said referring to my damn bags.

"I'm just stressed out. That's all."

"And what do plan to do about it?" She asked. “The fondation cream can only cover the outside, not the inside.” She let me notice.

"I’ll just resort to music again.” I replied. “It’s been already more than a week that we last did something. We don’t have anything else on our schedule except for that episode of Weekly Idol tomorrow." I said.

“Yes, that's true” She nodded.

“That’s why I was thinking... about a new album.” I blurted out. An entire album would have taken up a lot of time, and I would have been very glad to fill up our void schedule with some real work. Everything to keep my mind occupied.

Her eyeballs instantly grew wider at the word ‘album’. "What? A new one?" She asked.

"Yes." I nodded.

She frowned. "But you mean a another mini album or.." She let the sentence hang and waited for me to finish it.

"I mean a big, full, entire album." She didn't expect that, I could tell by her surprised expression.

She looked worried too. "Are you sure about this?" She asked me. “I mean, that's gonna take a really long time, and I’m totally sure that the girls won’t be so enthusiast about it. You know how they are.”

“Yeah, I know.” I could already hear their complaints in my eras, but I we couldn't possibly lay on our beds doing nothing all day forever. “But it’s not like we’re gonna write the entire album in a day. It’s not just to get rid of my stress, but also to keep us occupied, instead of doing nothing all day." I explained. Music really helped me when I was depressed, angry, or sad.

She nodded understanding. "Okay. I got it. I'll help you. We're all gonna help you.” She added including the other two members.

"Thank you. I really need some distractions." I thanked her.

"Don't mention it. It's a pleasure." She replied waving her hands. “Plus your proposal isn’t so unreasonable. I’m getting bored of this routine too frankly. We haven't done anything interesting in the past five days.” She concorded with me. “So don’t worry about the girls, they won’t complain too much if you explain in detail what you
