Chapter 2
The day for discussing about the contracts offered to the girls and its terms finally came. The discussions and negotiations went well for Tiffany, Elise and Chriz. The girls were introduced to their manager at the end of the discussion and their manager unnie took over from there, bringing the girls to their dorm that happened to be opposite SHINee’s dorm.
“Girls, these are your mobile phones, pick one each. All the numbers you need to know are already in your phones. Call me if you have anything that you do not know. I’ll leave you girls to settle down and unpack before we start planning the areas of the training you will be undergoing in three days’ time. Elise, you’re the oldest among the three of you and you shall take up the responsibility of taking care of the two dongsaeng, Tiffany and Chriz.”
“Alright, I shall be responsible for the two of them then.”
“Thank you so much, manager unnie!” Tiffany, Elise and Chriz said as they gave a bow to their manager.
“Oh wow! It’s Samsung Anycall Bodyguard!! My dream phone!! I’m picking the blue one!” Tiffany squealed.
“Pink one for me! Chriz, the classy purple one is yours then… are you ok with it?” Elise jumps in excitement as she said this.
“The phone is so pretty! I love it!” Chriz replied.
A moment later, as Chriz was scrolling through the phone book, she saw Jonghyun oppa’s number and subsequently, she saw the numbers of the other four SHINee members as well.
“Oh my!! I didn’t even dare to dream of having Jonghyun oppa’s number in my phone book. Am I seeing things or am I dreaming?”
Elise pinched her as a little “revenge” and the pain made Chriz realize it’s all in reality.
“You’re not seeing things and you’re not dreaming my dear, this is the reality we all wanted! Tiffany remarked with a huge smile on her face.
“Tiffy! You sound like one person when you said that… anyway, let’s get down to unpacking our stuff and picking our beds. We only have another couple of days settle down and to finish doing all these stuff.”
“Who do I sound like? Who? Who? Who?” Tiffy asked.
“Chriz’s Jonghyun oppa.”
“Oh yeah man! Jonghyun oppa always asked ‘Is this the reality you all wanted?’ and you do sound like him when you said that, Tiffany unnie.“ Chriz remarked.
The manager of the girls came to their dorm to pick them up at 8.00am in the morning and she drove them to the company to brief them on the training plans and also introducing them to their unnies and oppas (possibly in terms of age and in terms of experience). They were first introduced to their seniors, SHINee, who happened to be their dorm neighbours.
“Annyeonghaseyo SHINee oppa! “ The girls greeted.
“Annyeonghaseyo, manaseo ban-gawoyo! ” SHINee returned a little greeting.
“Elise, Tiffany and Chriz, there will be chances whereby you’ll work with your SHINee oppa and I’m pleased to inform you that they will be the ones guiding you girls along on stage as much as possible.” Manager unnie said to the girls.
“Manager unnie, you are not joking are you?” Elise asked.
“No, I’m serious, my dears.” Manager unnie replied.
Upon hearing this, the girls became nervous as they have always liked and adored SHINee for their talents and their cuteness long before they went for the auditions.
“When will we commence our training then?” Tiffany asked.
“The sooner the better, as long as you girls are ready for your training.” Manager unnie answered.
“Yeah, we’re ready anytime, Manager unnie.” Chriz added.
“OK, good. Let’s start your trainings tomorrow morning then. I’ll pick you girls up at 7.30am tomorrow. Vocal training starts at 8.00am, lunch break at 12.00 noon, dance lessons at 1.00pm, debrief at 5.30pm, you shall be released at 6.30pm for dinner, so that you can have proper rest to prepare your bodies for the next day’s trainings.”
“Yes, m’am!” Tiffany, Elise and Chriz answered.
“Before I forget. You girls will go for your makeover photo shoot session today. That’ll take place after lunch. Here is the address.”
“Yes, manager unnie! Thanks for your arrangements. Gamsa hamnida!”
The three girls underwent vocal trainings, dance lessons and personal grooming courses and three months have gone by since they started training. Into the fourth month of their training, they were given a mission to go on a show with their SHINee oppa and perform on stage with them. During the fifth rehearsal during that month together with their SHINee oppas, Chriz tripped on one of her dance moves that she was supposed to do with Jonghyun.
“Hey you! Why can’t you do the move properly? We’ve rehearsed the dance together many times already and yet you still can’t do it properly! What a dimwit!” Jonghyun remarked, sarcastically.
“I’m sorry, oppa! Let’s do it again.” Chriz swallowed the humiliation she suffered and answered humbly.
Meanwhile, both Tiffany and Taemin were rehearsing their four-hands piano performance, Tiffany’s fingers kept crashing into Taemin’s. It sure annoyed Taemin and he said, “You’ve done pretty well in our previous rehearsals and what’s with you today? You’ve made so many mistakes in today’s practice!”
Mianhae Taemin Oppa! Tiffany said feeling a little embarassed”
She also thought to herself: “ I can’t be distracted anymore! This is SM entertainment, the place where I always dreamed of going to.”
At the vocals rehearsal room…
Onew and Elise had to do two duets for their stage performance and they chose the songs “Beauty & The Beast” and “One Year Later”. It seemed that something had been blocking Elise’s mind and she kept getting the music notes wrong. She felt really embarrassed but Onew simply made a sarcastic remark at her, “How did you pass the three auditions when you kept singing the wrong music notes?”
“Mianhamnida, Onew oppa! I was just a little nervous… I’m so sorry!”
“Alright. Take a ten-minutes break and we shall continue.”
He walked to the other corner of the room for a breather and left Elise alone on her own. Ten minutes had passed and the two continued with their practice. These were not the end of the humiliations that Tiffany, Elise and Chriz had to face.
