Chapter 1.

In the meeting room of DCC, an entertainment company in Korea.

- The schedule is already arranged, let's end the meeting here, have a good evening everyone - DCC's president, Lee Jae Won folded down the documents and smiling left the room

The company's employees gradually left their seats to prepare to go home, and the members of the group Dreamcatcher also stood up one by one.

- Who hasn't had dinner yet? Order something to take home and eat together – JiU, the leader of Dreamcatcher, said.

- Everyone has finished eating, I think Siyeon hasn't eaten yet, right? - Yoohyeon turned to look at the beautiful girl sitting next to her.

- Well, I have a dinner date with someone else....you go first JiU - Siyeon talked to Yoohyeon then turned to JiU and turned to leave the office.

- Ah, she has a date with Shinwon, she said this morning - Gahyeon raised an eyebrow.

SuA sighed heavily, then followed the figure that had just left through the transparent glass door.

Dreamcatcher is a group that has been active in the entertainment industry for 5 years, they have had certain achievements and have very popular songs.

In the group, the most famous are SuA and Siyeon, both famous not only for their talent and beauty, but also for their intimacy in front of the camera. When Dreamcatcher first debuted, President Lee purposely paired these two to create a good couple to attract fans, so when the camera turned on, SuA and Siyeon had to be next to each other and interact together, do emotional actions. The president's plan was very effective, thanks to which the group gained a lot of attention and fans.

Then they gave the couple a lovely name, Suayeon couple.

But when the camera turns off, then SuA and Siyeon will separate, acting like their normal relationship. The two are not originally that close, SuA's closest person in the group is Gahyeon, and Siyeon's closest person is JiU.

SuA and Siyeon entered the company at the same time, together they trained for about four years, and then debuted in the same group. Siyeon was initially informed that she would be debuting as the main vocal, she was very happy, but after listening to her fellow group members one by one, the happiness fell fast like lightning, the floating clouds were suddenly swept away by the rain.

And the name that broke her happiness is Kim Bora, stage name Kim SuA.

Kim SuA was Lee Siyeon's rival during her internship at the company.

This perspective is Lee Siyeon's point of view, but in Kim SuA's eyes, it's not like that. She considers Siyeon simply an intern in the same company, debuting in the same group, working together, that's all.

But Siyeon's feelings for SuA were harsher and more intense, she assumed Kim SuA as her rival from the very first day she entered the company, simply because......

Flashback

- Top of the vocal test today, was…Kim Bora – vocal teacher, Ms. Dara said loudly.

Siyeon's heart was about to burst, what the hell did she just hear, her expression couldn't be happier, the wrinkles on her intelligent forehead were becoming more and more obvious.

- Hey, Siyeon has a background before SuA and always comes in second, while they both joined the company at the same time - the whispers of the trainees around, both male and female.

- Actually, I find Siyeon's singing more emotional, but maybe her technique is underrated so teacher Dara didn't give her first place.

- No, I think Bora is very worthy, and she is so beautiful, I don't know if she has a lover...

- If she's single, I'll flirt with her right away.

- Hey, the company's law doesn't allow dating

- The law is just the law, many people still secretly date, as long as they don't get caught.

- Anyway, I still like Siyeon's voice better.

Siyeon got up and walked out of the space, went to the rooftop to breathe in the fresh air to relieve stress. She is extremely angry at the results of this month.

Since entering the company, she has passed 3 vocal tests, she always stands behind Kim Bora, she is afraid that the dream of debuting will be difficult, and the dream of becoming a main vocalist in the group will be even more difficult.

Before entering DCC to practice, Siyeon had a pretty solid performance background. She was active in a rock band, she was the lead vocalist, at a high school in Daegu, the city where Siyeon was born. Siyeon has performed on the school stage many times, and she has also accompanied her band to perform at events sent by the school to attend.

While she was enjoying her academic and singing life in Daegu, Siyeon's vocal teacher, Ms. Solji, suggested Siyeon to audition for DCC company in Seoul. Siyeon went to the center of the capital and auditioned for that, after a month she was accepted as a trainee, had to quit her studies.

That day was the first day she met Kim Bora, a person one year older than her, but 4cm shorter than her, a cold-looking girl with long black hair. Siyeon at first had a good impression of this person, because Bora was a very beautiful girl, very white skin, and a great aura.

A person with such an appearance will easily make anyone who looks at them will fall, Siyeon is no exception.

But she only had a good impression of Bora at first. After a month of training was a vocal test, Bora was first, Siyeon was second, she started to hate this girl more.

Because in her opinion, Kim Bora is not as good at singing as she is.

Bora entered DCC with only one talent that was dancing, her singing skills were very poor, but after only a month she was able to come on top in a voice test.

Siyeon was not satisfied with this result, and subsequent tests, she was even more dissapointed.

She has never once been ahead of Kim Bora in terms of ratings, although she has performed as the lead vocalist many times on every stage.

So there was no reason for her to be less angry, she was going to carry on this frustration for the next month.

- Hey…

Siyeon turned to see a cup of mint coffee right next to her cheek, and the one holding the coffee cup was Kim Bora.

She didn't want to accept this kindness in the slightest, although this wasn't the first time Bora had done this to her. Bora sometimes shows interest in her, just to humiliate her.

- Drink it, you have been standing here for half an hour without a drop of water on your body - Bora reached for the coffee cup to touch Siyeon more so that the other person could accept it.

Siyeon huffed and grabbed the coffee cup, she took a deep breath. To this day she still doesn't understand why Kim Bora always knows what she likes, she and Bora don't have any kind of conversation, mint coffee is the kind of water she drinks every day, she loves it.

She glanced at Bora drinking a can of cola, the wind was blowing cool on the rooftop, Bora’s long black hair fluttering in the wind, widening the view of arrogant face. Kim Bora looks very beautiful from the side.

But no matter how beautiful Bora is, Siyeon doesn't like it, she said with an itchy mouth, just to chase the other person well.

- What are you doing here? this is my place.

- Who told you this place is yours? this is the terrace, it's common property - Bora opened her deep voice.

- I stand here first, this place is mine, please go - Siyeon continued her own defiance, she was aware of her fierce personality, but she still let it show comfortably.

If Siyeon thinks about it carefully, she's not very stubborn, she's just stubborn with the person she hates.

- I will go, on one condition.

- What's condition?

- You eat this - Bora spread out her hand, in the palm of her hand there was something that looked like a pill.

- What is this?

- Herbal pills are good for the throat, when you have to sing a lot, you should eat this, it helps your throat not to get inflamed.

Siyeon was stunned, thinking it was a difficult condition, who expected it to be so simple. She reluctantly took the herbal pill and put it in her mouth, it tasted sweet and slightly like honey, quite easy to eat. Bora saw her put the pill in her mouth and then Bora started to leave without saying another word.

She didn't know what Kim Bora was up to, she kept asking this question in her mind every time Bora  approached her. Then, in the end, she all answered herself that it was because Bora wanted to mock her at the vocal evaluation, so Bora pretended to care about her.

She thinks so every time.

End flashback.

At Fairytale studio, Dreamcatcher is doing an interview, they just released a new album. This album has 7 songs, which are 7 solo performances of each member, composed by each member. SuA's solo song has the content expressing a passionate and intense love.

When asked about the inspiration for composing this song, SuA hesitated to answer.

- Have you ever experienced such a relationship? – the reporter asked provocatively.

- Hmm... well, it can't be said that there is no - SuA awkwardly replied, scratching her nose with her hand, her face a bit forced.

- Oh really? - JiU was surprised.

The person sitting next to SuA quietly observed, Siyeon mused, Kim SuA must have loved someone very intensely in the past.

She looked down at the clasped hands, which were hers and SuA's. In front of the camera, the two always look so close, the fans love it. Although the interview was still going on, her mind was busy with SuA's other story.

After all, in the past SuA had ever loved someone so much, be it a boy or a girl?

During the trainee period, Siyeon knew that SuA was not dating anyone, just focused on training to debut as soon as possible. She wasn't with SuA during the trainee period, she lived with JiU and Yoohyeon, SuA was alone at that time, until everyone debuted in a group then moved in together.

Although she is not with SuA, she thinks that there is a high chance that SuA has nothing to do with dating, because SuA always tries to be first in every monthly evaluation, both dancing and singing, to get such results, it is impossible having time to date.

When they debuted, SuA did not date anyone, she is currently single.

So that means SuA’s passionate relationship is from the past, before she came to DCC to practice.

Siyeon was curious to know who that person is, beautiful or not, good or not, male or female...?

Then she realized something ridiculous…….

Why does she have to be curious about Kim SuA, how important is SuA to her?

- Siyeon? - the reporter's voice.

- YES? – Siyeon startled, sat up straight, answered loudly.

- Well, I want to ask, which song from the album is your favorite?

Siyeon was embarrassed by her overreaction just now, she blinked, suddenly realizing that she was still in the interview. Since then, she hasn't heard anything from anyone.

Damn Kim SuA, hindering her from working terribly.

SuA suddenly coughed, feeling a bit itchy as if someone had just cursed at her.

- Well, in this new album, my favorite song is song number 2, its melody is really unique - Siyeon replied with a smile, quickly regaining her professional style.

After the interview ended, the two hands that were holding each other also immediately separated.

---

On the way back to the dorm.

SuA glanced to the right, Siyeon was listening to music, dialing the phone. Since her debut, she and Siyeon have been able to sit next to each other in the same car wherever they go to work, she can always know what Siyeon’s doing and how Siyeon’s feeling.

Recently, she has been in a bad mood after learning that Siyeon and Shinwon's relationship is in the chat-up. Shinwon is a friend in Siyeon's 95s guild, also an idol but from a different company.

Siyeon a few months ago was instructed by parents Lee to think about getting married soon. Because Mr. and Mrs. Lee are too old, Siyeon's older sister is also married and about to have children, so they really want Siyeon to start dating so that she can gradually get married at the age of 27, which is one more year.

Siyeon is a very filial child, she even tattooed the birth year of her parents and sister on her back, Mr. and Mrs. Lee's words, she certainly won't protest.

Working in showbiz, most people will prioritize their career first, and until they retire, or are too old, about 35 to 40 years old, they think about getting married. Siyeon is also an active person in showbiz, but she was pressured by her parents to get married early.

Although she is not an easy child to obey, Siyeon has her own stubbornness. But she is also an obedient person, Siyeon said that she has no intention of getting married so soon, but she will also try to get a boyfriend soon for the temporary satisfaction of Mr. and Mrs. Lee.

Siyeon is a person who likes to share, so stories about her family, or her inner self, she shares with her group members.

Siyeon has never dated anyone since she was a child, once when she was in school she had a crush on a girl, now if she becomes a couple with Shinwon, this will be her first love. Currently, the two are in the chat up, Shinwon is the one who proactively approached Siyeon first.

Siyeon is in the same room as JiU, and JiU often talks to SuA, so everything surrounding Siyeon, SuA is known, including the progress of Siyeon and Shinwon's relationship.

There are 7 members in the group, but only two people know SuA's secret, which is JiU and Gahyeon.

A secret that she has kept hidden in her heart for many years. That is, she fell in love with Lee Siyeon.

And she didn't confess directly, she was just next to Siyeon, taking care of Siyeon with all her might, the reason was because when Siyeon was a trainee, really hated her. The reason Siyeon hates her, she can understand, is because of the company's monthly evaluation of vocal rankings for trainees. During her internship, her career was still number one to her, and she was an aggressive person, wherever she went, she wanted to stand out.

She practiced hard, worked hard every day, and she always achieved what she wanted.

At that time, she already liked Lee Siyeon very much, but after all, her career was still number one, so she couldn't sacrifice her ambition to please Siyeon. And when the company announced the people who were going to debut to form a group, including her, but not the main vocal position, but the main dancer, at that time people were shocked, because they thought that with history is always at the top of the charts, she will definitely get the main vocal spot.

But that position fell to Lee Siyeon.

After SuA found out that she was debuting with Siyeon in a group, she was happy inside, so her position didn't matter.

Siyeon debuting as the main vocal is her wish, SuA feels happy about this, wants to congratulate her.

After 5 years of working together in the same group, living in the same house, traveling in the same car, eating the same meals, Siyeon's hate has lessened a bit, not to mention she and SuA have to act together in front of the camera for more effects.

Then another reason for keeping SuA’s feelings hidden is that SuA doesn't see any signs of Siyeon liking girls, she thinks Siyeon is straight.

Although Siyeon once had a crush on a girl, but it was only a fleeting feeling, in the end, maybe the one Siyeon will choose, most likely a guy, just like her parents expected. .

Although Lee Siyeon has a very cool and handsome aura, she has a soft, husky voice that is attractive. Siyeon has a lot of female fans, and she always calls them her wife.

But all of that is just to serve the fans, because there are so many female fans, Siyeon has to build such an image for herself, but SuA has never seen her go on a date or get to know a certain girl.

And even now, it can be confirmed. Now that Siyeon is choosing a guy to find out, SuA has no reason to reveal her shocking secret.

She just silently watched and stayed by Siyeon’s side, she had no hope at all.
