Shocked

The next day, the girls got up early. They were meeting the BIGBANG members at the cafe. They agreed to meet at 10 am. None of them could sleep well. They were all worried about So-Young.

The girls made their way to the cafe, and they reached half an hour before the decided time. They ordered a coffee and were trying to keep themselves occupied. The cafe was unoccupied as it was very early. The five of them sat in a corner. At last, Minzy could not take the silence anymore.

Minzy: "So-Young, I can't take it anymore. Can you tell me what is going on?"

So-Young: "Please wait for a little while longer. The Sunbaes are almost here..."

Minzy pouted but agreed. The cafe was silent once again. Five minutes later, they heard the door open and saw the BIGBANG members entering. When they reached the table, the girls got up to greet them.

When all of them sat down, So-Young began to tell them what help she needed. She did not beat around the bush and just told them what she wanted. Her straightforwardness was what set her apart from others. She never lied, well.... except for the pranks. Thus, people always trusted her words.

So-Young: "I need you to invest in my company."

Everyone was stunned when she said this. Especially the BIGBANG members. Investing in a company was no joke. They had to trust that the company would do well enough to return their investments, and if they were lucky, profits. If lady luck was not on their side, they could end up in debt.

GD: "So-Young-ah, We would support you for everything you do, but can you explain what is going on?"

TOP: "Yes, I agree with Jiyong. I want to know the details.

Jiyong and Seung-Hyun( The real name of GD and TOP) did not want to jump to conclusions. They wanted to understand what was going on in their Dongsaeng's (Junior) head. They wanted to hear her side of the story.

So-Young: "Of course Hyung. Let me explain to you. I want to start a company. It will deal with technology. The first thing we will be manufacturing would be smartphones."

Bom: "What are smartphones?"

So-Young: "They are a new kind of phone. It is touch-sensitive and has multiple different features and functions. the camera quality has improved and is an 8-mega pixel....."

So-Young eyes started to sparkle as she started to describe the phone with gusto. The 9 other people on the table were speechless. This was the most that they had ever seen her speak. She mostly spoke in one or two sentences. They did not understand what she was saying but it sounded incredible. But, they could not fully believe such a thing could exist.

So-Young: "... I further plan to include a Bluetooth feature that will allow it to connect with devices that will also be made by our company in the future."

So-Young then looked up and noticed the blank faces of her friends. She awkwardly scratched the back of her neck and her face was flushed with a faint pink blush.

So-Young: "... Sorry, I got carried away."

This was the first time any of them had seen her blush. They were shocked for a few seconds. Sandara found it too adorable and could not help but tease her a little.

Sandara: "You finally look like the Maknae in our group. You always look so cool and calm, but I think this suits you better."

The conversation got a little light-hearted after that. But finally, they steered back onto the topic of her company.

Bom: "So-Young, you have been speaking about this... what did you say... some phone..."

So-Young: "Smart-phone."

Bom: "Yes, the smartphone. Do you have any models to show us? Like a blueprint. I can't accept the proposal if you do not give us any concrete presentation."

So-Young: "Of course. I wouldn't have dared to start a company otherwise. Hold on a second."

She dug into her bag to remove the two smartphones. Their only expectation they held was to see a blueprint, but when So-Young removed two models of the phone, they all felt a little dizzy.

So-Young: "This is the phone I was talking about."

She then started showing them how the phone worked and functioned. Everyone at the table was in awe. The phone was not even half a centimeter thick and had so many different features. They were sure that this was going to earn the big bucks in the future.

Minzy and CL did not understand what was happening. They were too young to know about these matters. But they knew that the 'smart-phone was an amazing creation.

TOP: "So-Young-ah, from where did you find such a talented person to create this?"

So-Young: "It has been almost a year since I have been working on this. I made it in the free time I had. Dad supplied the materials to me."

The table was completely silent. They all knew that So-Young was a genius, but this was beyond their comprehension. A 13-year-old was able to make a device that could change the world. And she said she made it in her free time. SHE DID NOT HAVE ANY FREE TIME! She was either practicing or trying to make new songs. She must have been sleeping really late to make this. All of them were impressed by her dedication. But, they were worried about her health. They all silently vowed to take better care of the youngest and do their best to help her.

TAEYANG: "I don't have much, but I will invest all I can."

Minzy: "I don't know what you all are talking about, but I want to help out."

everyone at the table was very supportive of her. Their words deeply moved So-Young. She had friends whom she loved dearly and could count on. She no longer felt lonely.

After discussing her plans, they all decided to invest all they had. If the phone was well received in the markets, they would ask their families for money to fund her. It was a very risky plan, but they all believed in So-Young.

They parted ways and went about to do their own business. So-young informed her father about the recent events. The girls went back to go through their routine of practice, practice, and more practice.
