"Eonni!" I greeted Yeonhee Eonni as I went inside the café, it's now between, morning and afternoon so there are not much costumers inside the cafe aside from our regulars
"Our celeb staff is here~" Yeonhee Eonni said, loud enough for Minchan Oppa and Minsu Oppa to hear
"Our second part-timer that debuted as an idol" Minchan Oppa said and smiled widely
"Should I audition too?" Minsu Oppa asked and we laughed
"By the way, are you allowed to go out?" Yeonhee Eonni asked me
"Yes, they gave us a day off. So I'll be spending my day-off here" I said and entered the staff room to change my clothes
"Miki-ya" Minchan Oppa called me while I am making a strawberry smoothie
"Ne Oppa?" (Why Minchan?)
"We have your albums" he said
"Really? Where is it?" I asked in amusement
"There, beside Y/N's magazine" Minchan Oppa said.
I went to that corner after serving the strawberry smoothie.
Y/N Eonni is also known as Charm in SM Rookies, she's part of it since, 2018 and was also part of Project show of SM Entertainment though they haven't debuted new girl group yet. And we are still calling Y/N Eonni as Y/N not Charm, I don't know why.
"Can I get them?" I ask Minchan Oppa
"Why? Don't you have yours?" he asked
"I have, I mean I'll sign this with my members" I said and he smiled widely
"Sure, I'll tell that to Yeonhee" he said
Time passes, the café is getting crowded because the fans knew that I am here, they are buying so its okay hahaha
Then there's one costumer who wants to take a picture with me, I want to say yes but if I do, all of the fans inside the café will ask for it too and it will trouble the operation of the café
"I'm sorry but I am not allowed to take pictures" I said in a soft tone so she won't misunderstood
"But yesterday we saw Oh Gieun and she let us to take pictures with her" she said and kinda raised her tone
"I am sorry, but the order was release evening that day" I said
"Psh, just say you don't want to take pictures" she said with an annoyed tone and face
"So full of herself, she not that pretty and talented, she was just promoted by Seventeen" her friend said and rolled eyes on me
"Ya" one of our costumer said gaining the attention of the two girls
"What?" one asked rudely
"You shouldn't say that to Miki, and even if she don't want to take pictures you should respect that"
"You're on her side? You saw how rude she is to reject us"
"It's her choice to reject you or not maybe she's uncomfortable and she did not reject you rudely though" the other costumer said
"Woah are you her fan? What a shame, you have an idols that rejects fan"
"Are you a sasaeng?"
"Me? Of course not! I will write this, wait and you'll trend" the rude costumer said before she leave the café
"I am sorry for the commotion, as a token of apology I will give you out a slice of cake each, it's on the house" I said bowed in the center part of the café
"Yeonhee Eonni, sorry. Don't worry I'll pay for the cakes" I said and started preparing the slice cakes
Minsu Oppa helped me serve them, I also put a sticky note containing words
감사합니다♡

Later that day, I received a call from our manager saying that I should go to the agency earlier than the call time. Maybe it's because of what happened to the café.
The fan really post an article about it with photos, it actually trended but there are also fans who defended me and gladly there's a fan who filmed the whole incident and she decided to upload it as well and that kinda cleared my name.
To be honest, when the issue blow up, I became first in real time search, also our debut song and as well as our group.
After our group promotion we had some solo activities, I was a cast for a minor role in a web drama and right now I am in Dive Studios since I'll be guesting on it.
"Hi Miki, it's good to have you here" AleXa Sunbaenim said
"Yes, me too"
"Hmm, so how are you?"
"I am doing good, slowly adjusting from trainee to idol life"
"How long have you been a trainee?"
"I'm not sure with how many months exactly, but almost a year since the audition program started"
"Oh, this isn't your official debut, right?"
"Yes" I answered and AleXa Sunbaenim is constantly nodding so I guess tht she wanted me to continue explaining? I'm not sure but I did continue.
"Uhm, after this month of promotion, the physical sales, digitals and such that are on tge criteria will be tallied and for the group who has the highest combined points and votes will be part of the official line-up" I said
"After a month your current group will disband?" she asked confusedly
"Yeah, kinda like that"
"For the official line up, how many years is on thae contract?"
"12 months, we'll promote 12 months as a group and after that we will go and train again with the agency that we'll be traded to"
"12 months?! Does that make sense? I mean, it will be a big lost if the official line up will be a big hit" She said while rolling her eyes, we laughed since we both know how fucked up MNET is.
"And you'll be train again with your new agency?" She added
"Yes, we'll get trained again and get evaluated by our new agencies but we have the secured spot once we get traded and once our new agency launch a new group, either a coed or girl group" I answered
"Ohh. So enough with the headache. Any future plans? Or anyone you want to work with in the future?" she asked
"Yeah I have someone in my mind to work with, I am hoping to work with (G)i-dle Soyeon Sunbaenim, she's so great and I really want to meet her personally"
"You must really adore Soyeon-ssi, your eyes are sparkling while talking about her" AleXa Sunbaenim said
"So how did you become a trainee?" She asked again to change our topic
"I went here to study in a University while doing our research, I happened to go in Pledis Entertainment and auditioned. I wasn't planning to audition or anything related being an idol, I just want to finish my study but yeah, things happened and now I am here" I said, I just summarize the story since I've already said that on one of our interview
"So now, let's talk about the recent article that floats on the internet last week" she said while looking at me and looking if
I am comfortable talking about that issue
"Yeah, sure"
"I know that, it's already cleared by your agency but what does really happened?"
"That day was my day-off, I visited my friends and I used to work on that café ever since I started living here. I volunteered helping out since I missed the café and there are fans who wants to take photos but PD-nim already talked to us that starting the night before that happened, is no picture taking allowed but the fan did not believe and they thought that I am just shooing them and that's how it started. There are regulars at the café that time and they are the one who talked to the fan"
"There are also tweets and posts that you gave a free cake for everyone inside the café that time?"
"Uh yes, I did gave a slice of cake for each customer inside the café that time. I caused that scene and I feel sorry for interrupting their rest in the café"
"Angel Miki is now your new nickname are you okay with that?"
I chuckled a bit "I am way far from being an angel but if the fans want that, then I will be their angel"
"After our filming contact me, huh. Let's be friends" AleXa Sunbaenim said
"Ne Sunbaenim"
"Hey you should call me Eonni or AleXa if we are talking in English"
"Oh, yeah, sure AleXa" I said
We finished our filming and now I am heading back to our dorm
"Miki~ Miki~" Charm Eonni when I answered her video call
"Mwohae?" (What are you doing?) Minchan Oppa asked
"I am on my way back to the dorm, just finished my schedule" I said
"You won't come?" Minsu Oppa asked this time
I shrugged "We are not allowed. As much as I want to but I can't" I said in a sad tone
"That's sad. But I'll eat and drink for you" Minsu Oppa said
"Ne" I said and laughed
Today is the café's anniversary and they closed the café to celebrate
"Charm Eonni you don't have schedule?"
"Eobseo. I am a trainee, our program ended months months ago" she said
"CF? Photoshoot?" I asked and she shrugged
After their program they all come back as trainees and Y/N Eonni as SM Rookies
"Hmm, no, I don't have anything to do" Y/N Eonni
"I'll go ahead, bye bye~"
I hunged up call and went inside the dorm
