Recap:

the music stopped, getting all their attention. Lights were turned off, but at the center stage, the black lights were turned on, revealing four figures.

Murmurs and whispers erupted but it was again stopped by a loud siren followed by the voice over's foghorn-like voice...

"Are you ready?!"

And the crowd erupted to loud cheers and excitement flowed.

"YGE presents... the New Evolution of the 21st Century!!"

Normal POV

Bright lights of different colors shoot from everywhere. It was as if colored laser beams were being fired from all corners of the club. Four girls stood motionless on stage, their backs facing the audience. Lights dimmed minutes ago but were replaced with black lights making the four girls stand out with their white clothing.  They were like statues, not moving a single muscle.

Then the music started playing. It was a familiar sound, a song that was once performed by their seniors. One by one, the girls started moving, their moves, smooth and fierce matching the upbeat rhythm and sound of the song.

Their voices, though uniquely different from one another, set the club into dancing and partying. They were owned. And they know it. Their performance was short-lived but it was the kind of performance which left everyone who witnessed it breathless and in awe.

Even on their way home, people are still talking about the new group. However, they were so mysterious, no one ever got to see their faces. But surely their voices and performance were remembered as strong and soft as the same time. All they know about them is that they are from YG and surely this talent being kept in secret will definitely be conquering the entertainment industry of Korea, maybe even Japan.

So the question is, who are they?

“Hyung!! You said you are going to introduce the new group to us! Not leave us wanting for more… more information about them and definitely more performances.” the boys who felt the same thing as the audience moments ago stride to catch up with their president.

“Yes, I am going to introduce them to all of you but not to other people, Jiyong. I want them to anticipate the new group. Spread the news about them but without any other information known about the new girl group.”

“So you’ll really introduce them to us?” Seunghyun asked.

“Yes.”

“Where did you find them, sunbae? They’re so fierce. I almost got goosebumps watching them. I suddenly felt afraid of performing after them.” This time, it was Daesung.

“They still have lots of things to improve. And they look up to all of you. You are their sunbaes so try to help them every time you see they need it.”

“Neh, sunbae! That’s why we are family…” Taeyang answered, while the other nodded in agreement.

“Where’s Chloe?”

“Oh, she said she’ll be waiting at your office with her Dad.”

“Go to the practice room, you all, and wait for me their. I’ll just see Chloe and her Dad.”

“How about the…”

“Just wait there. Go.. go.. go..” he ordered. The boys couldn’t do anything anymore but follow him.

“We have our own girl group Noonas and Dongsaeng!!!!! Whoooooohoooooo!!!” Seungri screamed as soon as Hyun Seuk was out of earshot.

The boys killed their time waiting for their president by talking about the new addition to their family. How different the voices of the four girls are but still match. They couldn’t talk about their appearance since they were left clueless and in the dark. Because of the dim lights during the performance, they weren’t able to see their faces. Just like the difference in their voices, their bodily curves are also different. That they were able to notice since the clothing they were wearing during the performance hugged their bodies quite good, revealing their natural curves.

A knock disturbed their discussions and all their heads turned to look at the now slowly opening door of the training room. All of them expecting to see new faces, only to be disappointed.

“Annyeong!!” PSY and Gummy entered the room together with Dongwook.

“Ahh.. Hyung! Noona!” why you here? We thought …”

“What? That we are the new girl group?” Gummy chuckled and ruffled Seungri’s hair. “Sunbae asked us to go here as well. They were spectacular right?”

“Have you seen them?” Young Bae asked.

“Nope, this is also the first time I am going to see them. But I think Hye Sun and In Na know one of the girls. They said that she, that girl, undergone acting workshops with them.”

“Really? Where are they?” Seunghyun looked at the closed door, probably expecting Hye Sun and In Na to materialize before them that moment.

“They are not here. Hye Sun is filming a new commercial and In Na is still on her way here from her Photo Shoot.”

“Is that so?”

“But they told me what she is like.”

“What?”

“Well, they said that she’s a child at heart and an angel.” Everyone smiled at that, but did not say anything. Gummy took that as a sign to continue talking about this one member. “She is pretty, they say. And that she does not have the most powerful voice but you’ll like it nonetheless.”

Then YG came with Chloe and her Dad. “They are on their way here. Where are the others? The dancers and the trainees as well. Call them up here.”

Se7en volunteered to go look for the rest of the YG artists, claiming that Byul is downstairs and he needed to pick her up.

“I’ll be back right away…” he said, as he closed the door.

Jiyong’s POV

I don’t know but every minute that passes by, I feel so fidgety and restless. Was it because of the tension and excitement going inside the room? Or maybe because Chloe had been continuously stealing glances in my direction. Another might be because her dad is teasing me to marry her already just a moment ago.

I told him that we already broke up, but he said that he still wants me to be his son-in-law.  Maybe I should ask someone to act as my new girlfriend so they would not bother me anymore about Chloe. I seriously wanted to do that now just to show them that there is no chance anymore between us.

She’s beautiful and I know that she’ll find the right guy for her. That right guy, clearly, isn’t me.

Change topic. Where are those girls? They shouldn’t keep their Sunbaes waiting this long. Since they are new, I will not nag them about it yet.

So one of them wants to be an actress as well? She should focus on one thing first. If she wants to be a singer, she should strive to become a good one first before going to be an artist.

I did not realize that three new faces already joined us in the room.

“Where’s Dara?” Hyun Seuk hyung questioned them.

“She’s with In Na Unnie, sunbae. They just went to the rest room.” Said the girl with unbelievably small eyes, it could rival Dae’s and Young Baes.

“Okay, while we are waiting for her and In Na. You go start introduce yourselves to your sunbaes.”

“Annyeonhasaeyo,” she bowed to all directions, showing respect to all of us. “Nae ileum eun chae lin ibnida.” Then she smiled and spoke in English. “You can call me CL for short. I’m the leader of the group.” and bowed once again.

The girl next to her introduced herself as Bom, she’s beautiful and stunning and claimed to be the vocal of the group.  She’s also the oldest and pointed out that the girl next to her was the youngest.

“Neh, Minzy ibnida.” She shyly bowed and looked at the closed door.

“Sorry, Dara slipped on our way here. In Na Unnie just arrived by that time and saw what happened she dragged her away with her.” Bom said, after a while.

“Is that so? Is she okay?” I found myself asking.

“Yes,” although she said yes, her face shows that she’s worried. “She’s always the clumsy one among us.”

“Oh. I take it she’s also the one who delayed your performance yesterday?” why am I being inquisitive today.

“Yes, but it’s not really her fault. She asked me to put her passport inside her handbag but I forgot to do so. She thought I did so she panicked when she did not see it in there. She thought she lost it.”

“That’s carelessness.”

“Jiyong!” Seung Hyun hyung exclaimed beside me, looking as if he is seeing me for the very first time. He shook his head and froze on the spot when he looked up.

I followed where his eyes are staring at.

There, with In Na Noona, was a petite girl wearing a simple skirt and a printed top blouse. Her left knee was bandaged, probably because she scraped it when she fell. Her eyes bore on me, like she wanted to spit fire on me. Wait. Did I just see her glare at me..? But when I looked back she has this shy smile and apologetic look on her face.

Must be a trick of light. Yes. That must be it.

“I am so sorry for being late.” Her voice… it sounds like… it’s similar… to. No, couldn’t be. She’s just a pigment of my imagination. I laughed.

She looked at me, and there it goes again. She looks like she wanted to retaliate. “What?” I asked, but before she could answer me back hyung beat her to it.

“Don’t worry, Bom here already explained what happened.”

“Oh… But I really am sorry.” She bowed and spoke in a very small voice, “My name is Dara… I am our groups clown!” She cheerfully stated and joined the group.

“We are glad to see all of our Sunbaes, please take care of us!!” they chorused.

“Wait, what do you call yourselves again?” Seungri asked. “They call you the 21^st new evolution or something…”

“No, sunbae.” CL smirked at him and motioned to girls. “We’re…”

“2ne1!!”
