In a studio of a somewhat well-known company, a tall girl listened to music repeatedly, trying to find inspiration, new steps that a new group would use to make their debut.
Minutes passed and the girl heard knocking on the door.
-Come in! - The young woman authorizes entry and as soon as the door opens she sees 8 girls, who would use her choreography.
-Hey Yeon!!- The future Rookies speak and immediately introduce themselves. -Nice to meet you, we're Bloomii!!
-Nice to meet you, I'm Yeon, the choreographer of your debut song "Petal Wish". - The young lady who now has a name, Yeon, introduces herself.
After the introductions, Yeon begins training the eight girls. At one point, the choreographer decides to let the newcomers take a break.
-Teacher Yeon, can we ask a question?- One of the little girls asks and Yeon nods her head yes.
-I don't want to seem crazy, much less nosy. Would it be bad if I asked if you still feel about Project Aurora? - The small question and Yeon becomes thoughtful.
-I miss the people who were my companions, not the project itself. If you go looking for Aurora, you won't find anything. But for a moment we were everything...for a moment we existed. We believed.
- Flashback 3 years ago -
-Hey, Yeon, teach us calmly, I'm not catching anything. - The maknae says, resting her hands on her tired waist and quickly the older dancer looks at her.
-Haemi... I'm not making things complicated. We've already practiced the chorus thousands of times. - Yeon affirms, looking at the Maknae through the mirror.
-Yeon, keep practicing with the others. I'll help Hae... - Boa says and together with Haemin they go to a corner of the studio, practice and repractice the chorus.
A few hours later, the girls were resting until one of the staff approached the girls.
-Let's play a game. Each one will write 7 letters. - The staff says, some of the girls already complaining. - You will say, in this case write, to your companions what you never had the courage to say.
The girls finally accepted, grabbed pens and paper, and started writing until they ran out of ideas. Once finished, they handed it to the intended recipient.
None of them had the courage to read them, they decided to wait until they understood that this was the time to read them.
Days passed, the eight girls remained very close, they practiced vocals and dance together, others helped each other with rap. Everything was going well, Project Aurora was almost going live. The debut song was recorded, the mv was almost starting until the night before recording began, Boa received a call.
-Good, please gather all the girls in the room so I can give you this information. - After this speech, Boa, who was still stunned without knowing who she was talking to, looks once more at the contact's name, Manager. Boa jumped out of bed and ran to the other rooms, calling the girls with the same words.
-Girls, wake up. The Manager wants to talk to us. Go to the room quickly! - The leader tries to wake them up as quickly as possible.
After 7 minutes, the girls were sitting on the living room floor, tired and sleepy, but they still didn't know that they were going to receive news that would leave them sleepless for nights.
-Project Aurora has been canceled. The company decided it would be best to end the project now, and terminate your contracts. We're deeply sorry, we know it hurts. I loved being your manager during these two years of training. But we have to move on. The company will pay you for the early termination of the contract. On behalf of the company and the staff, thank you for your efforts and I apologize!- It was bad enough to hear this news, even more so on the phone, AND THEY STILL HANGED UP ON US?!?
Haemin was crying, as were Arin and Dami. Minchae, Juri, and Sean were still trying to process it because they were sleepy. Yeon and Boa were trying to calm the girls down and find a quick way to resolve the situation. The hours passed on the clock, none of them could sleep, they walked around the house nervous, crying and desperate.
-Okay girls, let's go to sleep, it's already 4 in the morning, tomorrow Yeon and I will go to the company, take care of things and see what we can do.- The leader speaks while hugging the Maknae. After Boa says this, Minchae takes Haemin to the room.
The night passed, the sun rose, Yeon and Boa were arriving at the company. While one looked nervous, the other was determined. They entered the company at 10 am and left 30 minutes later, with the same information they already had. It's over, there's no turning back. The company was already shutting down the project's social media channels, which already had over 300,000 followers on YouTube alone.
-It's over..-Yeon says and Boa looks down.
-Unfortunately...-The leader says and they head towards home.
- 2 months later -
The girls had gone their separate ways. They weren't on speaking terms, Juri returned to Japan, and Sean joined a new company. Dami was trying to rebuild herself. Haemi's parents sent her back to school to live a normal life. Minchae became a model and opened an Instagram account. Yeon was trying to live her dream again. Arin became a well-known K-pop trainee. And finally Boa became a trainer for other trainees.
