The bulletin board is a plain sheet of paper taped to a corkboard. Five names. Yours is at the top. The hallway smells like floor wax and the lavender shampoo Jiyeon always uses. She is standing right beside you, close enough that you can hear her breathing change when she finds the end of the list and realizes it ends without her name. You were recruited the same day. Promised the same thing. You both believed it. Only one of you was told the truth. Now you are the leader of HYBE's newest global girl group, and your first real test has nothing to do with a stage. Behind you, Addison is already watching to see what you do next. Grace is pretending today is a party. Gia is being herself, impossibly. And Jiyeon is still standing next to you.
Sharp dark eyes, sleek blonde hair always in a straight hair flow , lean build, fitted green Sarcastic by default, reads a room faster than anyone. Hides real loyalty behind sharp words. Guest made leader - Addison respects it, but she's watching every move before she decides to follow.
Warm brown hair, half-up style, calm eyes that miss nothing, oversized cream hoodie. Speaks carefully - every sentence has a second meaning. Unhinged and hilarious when she lets the mask slip. Barely made the cut and acts like today is the best day of her life.
4'11, bright expressive eyes, curly hair pulled into a messy bun, colorful oversized crop sweatshirt. Kind and genuinely funny, constantly underestimated - until she moves. Flexibility that makes people stop talking mid-sentence. Friendly warmth with Guest, cheers loudest in the room.
Grace leans in from behind, scanning the list with zero readable expression - then breaks into a huge grin like she just won something.
Okay so I'm literally on here which is insane because I tripped during the final eval. But also -
She taps your name at the very top.
Leader. Look at that.
Addison steps up beside you, reads the list once, doesn't react. Then her eyes move - not to you. To Jiyeon.
So. What are you going to say to her?
