her bed, her cheek planted on her pillow, fast asleep.
She woke up to the sound of her bedroom door, being flung
open, and a bunch of people coming inside. MaiChan and Amy
got up on the bed and started jumping on it up and down,
careful not to jump on Isa. To add to the commotion,
Vanessa had her cheerleading horn and was yelling through
it. “YAH UNNI IRONA!!!” She shrieked. “Wake up. Wake up.
Wake up.” SongYee, HyoSoo, and ChaeMi chanted. Isa
groaned, grabbing another of her pillows from the side of
her bed, and placed it over her head, trying to block out
the noise. ChanChan gestured for the girls to stop for a
moment. She gently removed the pillow from Isa’s head, and
said softly. “Dongseng, you need to get ready. You’ll be
late.” She told her. Isa groaned again. “What time is it?”
She asked sleepily, rubbing her eyes, and sitting up in
her bed, as all her friends looked at her.
“9:15” HyoSoo said, glancing at the clock on the
nightstand. Isa sighed. “But my interview’s not till 11,
which by the way I am still having my doubts on.” She told
the group. “Unni, you need to go.” Amy told her, taking
her hand, and trying to pull her out of the bed. MaiChan
joined her and took Isa’s other hand, and pulled her out
of the bed. Isa ended up doing a face plant on her carpet.
She sat up, rubbing her cheek. The girls all looked down
at her. “Woops. Sorry unni.” MaiChan and Amy said
sheepishly. Isa nodded, still sleepy, and got up, slowly
walking to her closet, grabbing a few clothes, then walked
into her bathroom, closing the door. MaiChan and Amy did
her a favor and fixed her bed, and they sat down on the
comforter. ChanChan sat on the recliner chair, waiting
while Vanessa took the chair at Isa’s desk. HyoSoo and
SongYee sat on the small pull out couch, while ChaeMi sat
on the bed as well, waiting. Twenty minutes later, she
came out of the bathroom, in jeans, and a simple t-shirt,
towel drying her hair. She still looked a little tired.
The girls looked at her, contemplating. “Hmm. Maybe you
need a little makeup?” Vanessa suggested. “Why? Just tell
me who my interview is with.” She told the girls. They all
became silent. Isa looked at them all suspiciously. The
girls brought her over to the vanity and sat her down.
Vanessa and SongYee blow dried her hair, putting more
volumn at the crown. ChanChan and ChaeMi, curled her
eyelashes, and put just a small dab of white eyeliner at
the inner corners of the eyes to open them up more,. Then
they dusted a mineral foundation over her face, to even
out her complexion, and just dabbed a little bit of a
berry hued lip balm. HyoSoo checked Isa’s nails. She filed
them evenly, and just applied a clear polish. Then ChaeMi
ran over to her house, and came back and sprayed Miss Dior
Cherie through the air, and made Isa walk through it, and
spin around once, then sit back down. “Eh. Isn’t this
just an interview?” Isa asked her friends
questioningly. “Yeah. But don’t you want to look decent?”
SongYee asked her. “I guess. Something just seems a bit
off But oh well. Do you think, maybe, you guys can come
too?” She asked her friends. “I have to finish packing for
my trip to Shanghai.” Amy said apologetically. Isa
nodded. “I have to finish a photography project.” Mai Chan
explained. Isa nodded again in understanding. “We’ll go
with you unni.” SongYee said. ChanChan nodded. “But the
first five to ten minutes, you have to be in there on your
own.” ChanChan told her. “Okay.” Isa said. They looked at
the time. It was almost 10.
“We’ll leave in about twenty minutes?” HyoSoo suggested.
The other girls nodded and Mai Chan and Amy said goodbye
as they had to go home to finish things. “Well, I guess
we’ll take my car then?” ChanChan said. Isa nodded. “Is it
KARA? SNSD? Wondergirls? Wait they’re not under SM.” Isa
said. “Uh, it’s not a girl group.” ChaeMi said and the
other girls shot her a warning look. Isa’s eyes
widened. “What? You asked a guy group? OMG. Who is it?
SuJu oppas? DBSK oppas? Who else is there SS501?” Isa
asked. “Um. You’ll see.” HyoSoo said. Isa sighed. Soon
it was time to leave and they piled into ChanChan’s car
, as she drove over to the SM Building.
Isa started drumming her fingers on her lap,
nervously. She was seated in the right passenger seat,
while ChanChan drove. SongYee, who sat in the second row
on the very left, noticed this. “Calm down Unni.” She told
Isa. Isa turned to the back, and smiled, nodding. “OMO.
OMO. OMO. OMO…” Isa started muttering. “Unni.” ChaeMi
said. “Oh, sorry.” Isa said and remained quiet. ChanChan
turned on her car stereo, to try and calm her
down. “Juliette” by SHINee was playing. Isa’s five friends
glanced at one another at the ironical happening. “What?”
Isa said. “Nothing.” They all said. Isa shrugged and just
listened to the song. SongYee and Vanessa sang along.
Soon they arrived at the SM building. A guard asked for
their IDs, and they all showed them and Isa showed her
letter. The guard nodded and let them through. They took
the elevator to the third floor. ChaeMi, HyoSoo, ChanChan,
Vanessa, and SongYee sat at the seats in the hallway,
while Isa went inside the interview room. They would come
inside a little bit later. She saw a woman at a front
desk, and went up to her. “Hi. I’m Isabel Santos. I have
an appointment today?” She told the woman. The woman gave
a welcoming smile and looked down at her binder of
appointments, scanning through the day’s list. “Santos,
Santos, uh yes 11:30.” She read off. Isa nodded. “You can
go in to the room on the left, they’ll be with you in
about 15 minutes.” She told her. Isa thanked her and
opened the door to the next room, and went inside, closing
the door. She sat in the client chair, looking out the
glass window, down at the very first floor of the
building. She saw five other chairs set up as well. “Who
could it be?” She wondered. She sat there, wondering,
while the door clicked open, and five figures came into
the room. She turned around and she was shocked.
