{one week later during a meeting four pm} 
                          
"bang si-hyuk has decided that he still wants to debut you after seeing your new acquired skills and how fast learners you are. he wants us to discuss many things involving your first m/v as well as how your lives and everyday schedules are going to change. he also wants you to decide a group name and stage names if you choose to use any." the american representative for big hit entertainment spoke from across the long office table. 
                          
areum and nari sat in shock, trying to take in what the man had just told them.
                          
"o-okay." and so they did just that and they learned the type of music they would sing and the style of clothes they would wear and how they were suppose to act in front of their fans. they signed a new contract and they were under both the american and south korean agency; which meant they had to learn to speak english fluently and they would be flying from korean to los angeles very often. they took in everything very carefully and they made sure to take note of everything they would have to tweak about themselves although there really wasn't much.
                          
then it was time to decide on a group name and their stage names which was what areum and nari were anticipating.
                          
"we have a few group names we picked out that we though you would like." the man smiled at them and passed over a folder. areum opened it carefully and scanned over what seemed like a million possible group names. 
                          
"alectronica?" nari said and looked up at areum 
                          
"what does that name represent?" areum asked she liked the sound of it but she wanted to make sure it had meaning 
                          
"it's a combination of alectrona and electronica. in greek mythology, alectrona is the goddess of the sun and early morning and electronica is a electric-based music genre." he explained with a smile 
                          
"i really like that one." nari said turning to areum once again and she nodded at her with a smile
                          
"now we have one last thing, have you guys decided if you wanted to use stage names?" he asked looking at his folder and marking things with his shiny metal pen 
                          
"i do but i haven't figured out an actual name." nari said and areum still hadn't thought about that 
                          
"i see... we don't need an answer now but we definitely need an answer by thursday."

{the following day, eight am, los angeles, california}
(this is where the outfit comes in okay)
                          
the girls were to continue learning their new skills for another week and then they would start learning choreo for their m/v as well as getting a new wardrobe and practicing their vocals. they had three weeks in los angeles and they wouldn't have time to do much other than train. in fact they hadn't seen the boys since last week which meant she still had to confront taehyung and yoongi and nari still had not had their first date as a couple. 
                          
"what time does practice start today?" areum asked looking in the mirror trying to figure out if her outfit was too sexy 
                          
"eleven am and we can't be late because they're teaching us how to add the tumbling to our dances today." nari replied and continued to make her coffee 
                          
they had the morning off so it was the perfect time to do what they needed to do with their boys. [;) sorry bye]

"guys?" she asked surprised as she walked into the boys dorm and saw them chilling on the couch. she seriously wondered how much free time they had.
                          
"jagiya!" jungkook beamed as he turned to her without moving from his spot on the crowded couch
                          
"jagiya?!" jin and namjoon exclaimed at the same time 
                          
"surprise?" areum said questioningly as he sat on jungkook (because there was no where else to sit)
                          
"aish! you never told me what she had said!" jimin aid and hit jungkook in the back of the head jokingly, and he just shrugged and wrapped his arms around areum who pecked his cheek
                          
"can you please not?" hoseoke shuddered at their cuteness and it was areum's turn to shrug 
                          
"wait does this mean i can't flirt with you anymore?" namjoon asked with a chuckle and areum just turned to jungkook who shrugged again
                          
"i don't really care i mean she's mine anyway." he smirked and cuddled into her but areum playfully pushed him away  
                          
"i am not an object!" they chuckled at them and it was suddenly quiet 
                          
"anyway is tae home?" she asked breaking the silence and everyone turned to look at her with wide eyes
                          
"yeah he's in his room." namjoon said slightly confused and she just nodded and walked towards his room.
                          
she was nervous to explain to him but taehyung was very understanding. it definitely hurt but his friendship with both jungkook and areum was more important to him. if it was meant to be it would've happened; you saved me from a relationship that wouldn't have worked out, were his exact words. and it was true he would've been more hurt if they had dated or whatever. areum was just happy to end the whole thing especially on good terms. and they both went and enjoyed the little time she had before practice with their best friends.
