J&HEnt. Morning. There are a lot of people outside the building of the company. They seemed very excited and quite nervous. All of them have their numbers in front of their chest attached to their clothes. The company initiated an audition to pick, train and introduce new idol/s.
The audition started in a room. There are 6 panel of judges. Two tables are separated, one table occupied three judges. Tiffany, Jessica and Krystal were seated together.
After 3 hours of judging, Tiffany had her fingers on her temple, Jessica was frowning, and Krystal was leaning on the table. This was surely a sign of disappointment.
"I'm out of this" Jessica said seriously with straight face
"I think we need to reschedule the audition. And let the managers pick the best." Tiffany leaned her back on the chair, massaging her neck.
"Managers? Please don't include me there" Krystal head up and leaned her back on the chair.
"Seriously, I want the best of the bests. And no one suits in the position!" Jessica said in annoyance
"Just wasting my time here" Krystal stood up
"Where you think you're going?" Tiffany looked at Krystal "Just sit there!"
Krystal phone vibrated on the table, she got a message. She read it. Her face looked stunned. She smirked. And back to her seat. The two unnies noticed her reaction.
"Is that your boyfriend who just texted you?" Jessica teased
Krystal just glared to her sister.
"Maybe a girlfriend?" Tiffany asked
Krystal smiled "Just wait and see, I'll wait for the best."
The two doesn't mind at all. They continue the audition. People outside the company are disappearing in a blink of an eye.
The panels are tired and hungry. And all stress. They don't have any trainee/s yet.
"Maybe we should go now" Jessica was irritated
"Yes I agree with you" Tiffany retorted
"No, no, we're not done yet." Krystal insisted
"Few hours ago, you wanna leave the place and now, you still want to continue? WAE??" said Jessica growling
"I still have my cards, the two" Krystal cockily said
"What do you mean?" Tiffany asked
"They are here."
The door's opened. A petite woman first entered the room followed by a tan woman. Tiffany and Jessica was surprised by the appearance of two. They are familiar.
"Hi unnies!" Krystal waved her hand to Taeyeon and Yuri
Yes. It's them. They will just try the audition.
"Okay, you two have different talents right? Yuri unnie, you go first please." Krystal was happy "Fighting!" with her aegyo
"Thank you" Yuri mouthed to Krystal
Jessica was feeling uncomfortable to see Yuri as well as Tiffany, knowing Taeyeon was in the side of the room.
The music is on. Yuri started to dance. The panel was drooling. On the other side of the table, all panels are guys! Yuri looks seducing them (but of course not, she's just sexy, it's her nature). Jessica don't look at her with her head down. Yuri keeps glancing on her and Krystal noticed it.
After a minute or two, Yuri's performance was done. The other panel of judges which are guys, gave her a round of applause. Jessica was a lil' angry with those guys, she thought they don't have professionalism with their action. Yuri bowed to them and smiled. At last, there's suit for the best.
Yuri walked at side of the room which Taeyeon was. Then Taeyeon walked in front. She picked the guitar and seated.
"Taeyeon unnie, you're going to sing?" Krystal said
Taeyeon nodded.
"Please start"
Taeyeon started to pluck and strum the guitar. She's singing "IF" (It's her song kekeke). When they hear Taeyeon's angelic voice. None of them, dare to speak. They are all ears. And feeling the lyrics of the song.
"Naega babogattaseo
Barabol su bakkeman eobneun geon ahmado
Wimyeonhaljido moreul ni maeumgwa
Tto keuraeseo deo meoreojil saiga dwilkkabwa..
Jeongmal babo gataseo
Saranghanda haji mothaneungeon amado
Mannam dwiyeh gidarineun apeumeh
Seulpeun nanaldeuri dooryeowoseo ingabwa"
English Translation:
"Because I was like a fool, I could only look upon you from far.
Because I was afraid of how your heart might change and we might grow farther apart
I was such a fool, not able to tell you I loved you.
Because I was afraid of the hurt and sadness I would receive after we meet.."
Panels were jaw dropped and they're drooling. They almost cried. She's very talented in singing. Taeyeon's performance was done. All the panel gave her a round of applause. Krystal said Lunch Break. After an hour, they will announce the result.

After lunch. The result was finally out. Unfortunately, Krystal couldn't make it. She rushed to the hospital because one of her babies was injured.
In the same room. Taeyeon was the one who picked by the judges she rated high than Yuri(Just 0.2%) :D. Yuri was sad because she didn't get it but she's happy for Taeyeon. They only need one, because the company just preferred solo artist to introduce this year.
Taeyeon headed to Tiffany's office while Yuri was sitting and waiting in the hallway. She was really sad because she didn't get the training too. Her head down, seeing her lap down to shoes. Suddenly, a woman stopped in front of her. She's wearing skirt. Casual attire. She head up to look the face of the woman. She's shocked and confused. It's Jessica.
"I'm sorry but I-I need to talk to you. Come to my office." Jessica said with her natural tone voice "Please follow me" she walked
Yuri was just astonished.

In Tiffany's office. The tension was all in her. The petite woman was sitting in front of her table, innocently.
"How do I do this? Should I apologize to her? She's so adorable. She's like teenager." Tiffany thought.
"Okay, so you're the new trainee. Congratulation it means you're the best of the bests." Tiffany complimented
Taeyeon just dorky smile.
"What the- why am I feeling this? Am I crazy? She's so cute." Tiffany said in her mind
"Anyway, you're still a student? How can we train you? You should quit your studies." said nonchalant
"Pardon? Sorry ma'am but I can't quit. I'm graduating student now." said anxiously
"Choose your priority then."
"I have monday to friday, free time. I can be trained in those days? Saturday is school day. Since we are in senior year, we only do paper works at school."
"So do you think our company will adjust on your time? You're just a beginner" she shouted
Tiffany's voice was heard outside the office. Her employees can hear it. Poor trainee they thought. Now she know where's and who's the witch was.
"Sorry ma'am, Krystal was the one who insisted this."
"Maybe she insisted but still, it's your decision. You want it right?" steely said
"Yes I want it. She said, there's allowance or financial support while we're in training." timidly said
"So you're here for money?" "Just thought so"
"Yes, I need it. Me and my friend. We're self-support. This year in college was so tough on us. We need to work hard. But if my schedule isn't fit to the company, I will just quit as trainee. I can't give up my education, it's important to me." she stood up and bowed to Tiffany "Thank you for choosing me. It's my pleasure but-"
"Sit down"
"Huh?"
"Sit down and we'll settle your schedule" having stony-faced
"But ma'am you said my schedule was-"
"I'm sorry."
"Come again?" Taeyeon puzzled.
"I'm sorry when I judged you. And-um, I'm sorry because a while ago I'm being... stubborn." she down her head
Taeyeon eyebrows rise in surprised. She back to her seat.
"Well, ma'am it's fine. I really don't mind 'em. I'll take your sorry as your thanks to me" Taeyeon teeth smiling
"I like your personality."
"Thank you ma'am."
"No, thank you Taeyeon" giving her eye-smile.

At Jessica's office. They are seated face to face. The silence broke by the Icy princess.
"You didn't get the training"
Yuri just bowed her head. Obviously she's upset.
"Are you okay?" Jessica looked concern
"I said, don't even talk to me"
"But I'm worried to you" she shrieked
Jessica heard the tan sobbed, she was crying. Jessica's heart almost ripped out of her chest.
"Why you're being nice all of a sudden?" Yuri looked up to meet Jessica's eyes.
"I don't know. But I can help you, what do you want?"
Yuri paused. She's confound.
"I said what do you want?"
"Are you serious?" wiping her tears on her face
"What?" sternly said "Do you think I'm doing jokes right now? Say what you want, I'll do it""What did I just say? I hope she doesn't wish to become my girlfriend. Or I'm dead to Krystal."
"Okay I want, hm, I want a job." said in distress
"I thought you-you already have a job in the bar?" she's disappointed with Yuri's answer
"Bu-but it's not enough t-to support my studies... and myself"
"How can you work if you have schools?"
"I'm free in weekdays. My class is only on saturday"
"What? When I'm studying back then, I have my whole week in school" she mumbled
"Hm, we just do paper works and pass it on our professors."
"Fine"
"Fine?"
"I'll give you a job. As you see, I don't have my secretary. And I'll hire you to that position. Sort of." "Oh my gosh, this is digging my own grave. Krystal will kill me."
Yuri's lips curved widely in both side, showing her white equal teeth.
"Really? You're not kidding right?" she stood up and came near to Jessica, she hugged the girl "Thank you so much ms. Jung!"
"Y-you're welcome." she blushed and patted Yuri's back.
"Call me Jessica, don't be too formal."
Yuri faced Jessica "But you'll be my boss? It's inappropriate."
"No buts, it's my command. I'm your boss, call me by my name."
Yuri smiled. "Thank you Jessica" she kissed the girl on the lips, just a peck.
Jessica's face turned red. Her heart beat was so fast. "What's this feeling? I'm uncomfortable? But... but... I - I like it."
~
Still in Jessica's office. Yuri was asked to leave the Jung sisters to talk in private. She went outside.
Krystal already know that Jessica gave Yuri a job as her secretary. She's really mad at her sister.
Jessica was sitting on her chair while Kyrtal, she's standing, facing her sister, glaring at her.
"If your glare could kill people maybe I'm dead. Aish."
"I said stay away from her! NOW YOU GAVE HER A JOB IN OUR COMPANY AS YOUR PERSONAL SECRETARY?" she growled.
"Ya! Are you shouting at me? I'm your older sis!" sighed "I-I just... You know, you told me her story. She didn't get the training. And I pity her, she really need a job. So I gave her. Sis, it's just like that. Nothing more" she explained.
"But what about her? I think she really likes you"
"You think?" "Oh my- she likes me?" she blushed.
"And now you're blushing? You said it's just nothing more?"
"Yes, I just want to befriend with her" she retorted.
"Kurae, kurae. Don't play with her. Please take care of her. Okay?" leaned forward to stared at her sister's eyes
"Okay"
"Promise me? Pinky swear" she raised her hand in front of her chest. And forwarding her pinky to her sister.
Jessica locked her pinky to Krystal's.
"I promise, I won't hurt her" "I want to take care of her. There's an urge inside me but I don't know. I just want to help her."

After the talk. Jessica and Krystal leave the office. As they go outside, they saw Yuri chatting at SeoHyun. They more like flirting, especially Yuri cuz she's holding the hand of Seo. Jessica glared at them, she's not in the mood. Krystal noticed it, she shook her head and smirked.
"I smell somthing Jelly" Krytal teased
She got the attention of Seo and Yuri. The two looked on the Jung sisters. Yuri saw Jessica's very cold look. She let go of the hand of Seo, and gave everyone a dorky smile.
"I gotta go" Krystal still smirking and leave
Jessica still glaring at Yuri. She walked back to her office and close the door with a BANG!
"Trouble" Yuri scratching her head.
"Yuri unnie, I didn't smell jelly here" trying to smell around "What jelly is Manager Krystal talking about?" sniffed.
Jaw dropped "Seriously Seo? Like seriously?"
