3 : the neighbor(s)

Y/n's POV



Yesterday, Doah invited me to the park to bike but since I like skateboarding better, I brought my baby. My skateboard is named Seukei... Urin Seukeiteubodo wiro




She's a warm person and my first friend here. She shared a lot of stories including about her very chaotic sisters, she says. I heard she got 8 sisters? I don't know if all of them are related to each other or if she's just pranking me.



"Y/n-ssi?" I heard someone ask behind me. I'm currently in our agency right now at Hongdae. It's a small building but very neat. I heard that the CEO designed it himself. And our CEO is Do Kyungsoo. THE Do Kyungsoo.



I looked at the person and it was a small girl with medium-length hair. She looks like that girl from Mr. Queen, I forgot the name.



"I'm Ezaki Hikaru" she held out a hand. "Yang Y/n" I shook hers and when I was about to let go, she gripped on me tight, dragging me towards a room with glass doors. "Everyone! She's here!" She suddenly shouted which made me and the other girls in the room startled. All of them look cool and... wait, is that Su Ruiqi?




"There's a celebrity here?" Everyone looked at me like they know something I don't. "Su Ruiqi, Chuang?" I asked. The group look at themselves. "Hello" Ruiqi replied before going beside me. "Are you Chinese?" She asked.




"Half Chinese, I lived in China" all of them nodded their heads. "What's your name?" The one with cat eyes asked. "Yang Y/n" I heard Ruiqi gasp, maybe she heard about me?



"Yang-Song, Baidu?" Yep, she knows.




"No, I'm just a regular Yang Y/n. Trainee" I smiled at her. The others were clueless, they don't know Baidu anyways.




"Daebak, you're a millionaire already, are you the one who's going to debut with us?" Ruiqi asked. The others started mumbling with each other. "U-Uhm, I think?




"Omo, we're going to stay at Yang-Song village?"




"Yang-Song village? THAT village full of mansions?"




"The one Blackpink Jennie lives at?"




"Beside PLANET GIRLS?" the one tall girl I still don't know asked. PLANET GIRLS? I think I've read that before but I don't remember... I should search for it later.




"Game!"



"Y/n-ssi! Please let us stay there!" The cat-eyed girl pled. I'm going to debut with them right?




"O-Of course"




"YES!"




"Good Morning everyone" the glass doors opened revealing a not-so-tall guy pulling a chair inside. "Good morning, sajang-nim"




"Sunbae, call me sunbae" It was EXO's D.O.




"So we're complete now?"




"Ne!"




He turns to look at me. "Have you all met Yang Y/n already?" He asked. All of them except Ruiqi shook their head. "Yang Y/n is a former SM trainee in China, she's the second oldest and will be the team's Center" Center? But I still lack.




"But sunbae, I'm not that g-"




"You are, everyone in the room is but I choose you. The members also agreed with it" he pointed his pen at me. "No official member parts but the center is your part. They all shined together equally and you're the only one who hasn't made any presence in the public eye yet... Have you already heard about them, Y/n-ssi?" I shook my head.




"They're all former contestants of Mnet's show, Girls Planet 999"




Wait... so they might know Xiaoting!














































Xiaoting's POV




"I have good news!" Youngeun ran down the stairs excitedly. "Watch your steps!" Mashiro reminded her. I always forgot me and Mashiro are the same age but her face looks like a baby.




"Jia's going to debut!" She jumped around as the others started celebrating. I was clapping my hands of course, good for her. Gugugu




"Congratulations to your girlfriend" Doah patted the younger's back. "Not just Jia... Ruiqi, Hikaru, and Dayeon unnie as well!" The cheers went louder. I'm so proud of Ruiqi. She's debuting finally after all of those hardships we've been through. She was traumatized in Chuang then Girls Planet, she almost lost her hope but thank God someone casted her.




"Jinjja? Together?"




"Yes! And I heard they're the first lineup?" Huh? So there's more? I hope it's the other girls too. "Wow, so it's a big group then? In what company?" Dayeon asked. In debuting, Company is an important topic. They are in charge of funds and promotions. If you got into a big company, high chance you will shine. But if you entered a company with large debt like BlockBerry Creative, run.




"I hope they take the other Girls Planet contestants too" Suyeon pouted. "Don't worry, they told me they're debuting under Youth Entertainment, a subsidiary of SM Entertainment, I know they will get big" Youngeun sighed. She was not sure about it.




"Subsidiary? I came from a Subsidiary of SM as well but it's still separated. They only share funds and stuff, not promote. Who's the CEO by the way? Youth Agency sounds new"




"Jakkuman, jakkuman, I'll look for it" Youngeun typed fast on her phone. I hope there are more C-Girls in line. I missed them. I feel so lonely debuting as the only Chinese member.




"Omo..." we heard Youngeun gasp. "Yaning unnie supposedly is going to debut with them but she returned to China due to personal issues... but it says she will return in another lineup? I don't get it... another line up so there's another group?" All of us looked confused.




"... the article says that "Youth of Yesterday, consisting of members from China, Japan, and South Korea will be releasing their debut album with the first sub-unit 'X'. Previous Girls Planet 999 contestants You Dayeon, Yoon JiA, Ezaki Hikaru and Su Ruiqi will combine abilities with one mystery trainee from SM Entertainment. CEO Do Kyungsoo picked these trainees as he saw potential in them. The line-up for the other sub-unit(s) is not yet confirmed" so there are 2 or more sub-units? Are they pulling NCT Card?" Youngeun scratched the back of her head. "I'd be happy if all of them are from the show but still, I'm proud of them" Yeseo clapped her hands.




"The concept... it's going to be girl crush?" It was obvious that the girls got similarities in Charms. They all look intimidating on stage. "Oh and Dayeon, Hikaru and Ruiqi? Jeonya is the best!... but we lost" Suyeon chuckled. "I hope Shana joins the other line-up" she added.




"The concept is not yet clear but they are scheduled to debut in March, that's like 2 months from now... how about, we throw a party for them?!" Bora suggested. "But unnie, we got schedules on Monday"




"Ooh, I forgot... let's celebrate after a month, tell them Youngeun" we all sighed as we slumped back on the couch. Doah on the other hand never looked sad the entire day. "Why so happy, Doah?" Dayeon asked. Doah was dancing around, her cheeks were flustered.




"She met with that girl neighbor yesterday at the park," I told them. "Woah Woah, is she pretty?" Suyeon asked. Doah just nod her head and continued waltzing around. "Then... should I ask her out" Suyeon shook my shoulders. "No!" Doah stopped from spinning around. "No one will, okay? I found her first so I'll go first"




"Fine fine, but if it didn't work out... tell me" Suyeon huffed. "No way~" Doah teased.




"Does she really look like Xing Qiao?" Yurina asked her. "Ani, not that much but her eyes resemble Xing Qiao unnie's" I guess Yurina misses Xing Qiao so much? They're best friends after all.




"Bye guys, I'm going to visit her" we all heard Doah close the door. Everyone in the living room went silent once again. "I'm going to sleep now" Yurina stood up beside me and then went to our bedroom.

"Me too"

"Me three"

"Me four"

The girls continued disappearing around me. I just sat there, gripping my phone behind the blanket above me. Once there were only 2 or three girls left, I covered myself with the blanket and opened my phone. As it lits up, it shows a picture of our group, and when I unlock it, it was a picture of Y/n.

She was wearing her graduation dress but it only shows her back to the members who thought it was me. We have the same hair length and style so it's not going to be suspicious to my members.



Earlier this year, she graduated from college and her mom sent me this with other more pictures. In her pictures, she was still wearing our engagement ring. Many people in our hometown knew about our engagement but most of them are all grandmothers and grandfathers. I hope they won't expose it.

"I miss you" I mumbled.
















































"You missed who?"




I jumped at the sudden voice by my side, I nervously took off my blanket and saw Doah looking at me curiously.




"N-No one"




"Why are you hiding? And what's on your phone huh" she tried peeking but I braced it tightly in my chest. "Why are you here anyway? I thought you were going to visit the neighbor" I tried changing the topic and it worked thankfully.




"She's not there yet, I think she went somewhere" she slumped back. "What's her name anyway?" I asked out of curiosity. "Is she Chinese?"




"Her surname is sound both Korean and Chinese"




Hmm... Is it Lee? Or Song? Or Huang?




"Her surname is Yang"




Wait... Yang?! Could it be Y/n's relative?!




"J-Jinjja? Yang who?"




"Why are you asking unnie? You can't take her away from me" she crossed her arm. "It's not like that..."




"Still, I'm not going to say it" she zipped her mouth. "Aish~ then I'm going to ask her myself"




"Ani! You're not- unnie! Where are you going?" I ran to the front door. "I'm going to ask that unnie of yours! Or the receptionist!"




"You don't have to!"




"Doah, you're my child!" I had a hard time opening the front door because it's kinda heavy to pull. "I need to check if your unnie is a good person or not" I felt her stand beside me. "But she is! I'm sure"




I finally pulled the door open and the view that greeted me made the both of us shocked.




"Annyeong" Hikaru waved her hand, followed by Jia, Ruiqi, and Dayeon.















"We live next door"
