"Clover~~" She smiled, waving at the camera, her eyes locked on the screen, trying to keep up with the comments that flooded in 

"I'm finally live!" put her hand to the side, frowning "And the promotions are over...it was short wasn't it" she nodded, agreeing 

'you went off for so long and the promotions are over this fast?'

Subin sighed "You're right, lets go talk with the boss". She took the phone in her hand turning the camera towards her manager, who, covered her face with a hat
"See that clover?"  She shook her head , "The guilty is afraid to show their face...would you guys believe it if I said I was busy?" 

'busy???"

'taking notes from her friends we see' 

'spill 🍵'

Surprised by all the jokes in the comments she laughed, mostly since she was relieved that her fans weren't mad ( yet ) "It's hard moving from one company to another and then making a comeback this quickly you know, we practically made a miracle happen" 

Her manager stared at her dumbfounded , asking her to move on with the topic "Tea?" 

'???'

"I love green tea!!" Subin beamed "I drink a cup everyday, it's real relaxing~~ specially when I have an upset stomach or feel overwhelmed...You know, it's healthy for you also! you guys should drink some" she joked "I'll even make my next title be Green Tea" 

She glanced to the staff and smiled "Their heart dropped. Clover. Remember this" her tone serious , "If the staff feel worried we say 'Magic' and change the topic okay" 

'Subin looking out for the staff >>>'

'More like saving herself' 

'🤫 Did you hear itzy's comeback?' 

"No spoilers!" She pursed "One more strike and Jyp's never going to let me enter the building again, but if you want to know....All the comebacks this month are really good. seriously"

'why is the show on hold?'

'who do you think has the best comeback this month' 

'how's bokki ^^'

'can you sing blueming~'

'Jyp will kick you out? stop lying 😐'

"Blueming? Chaedrea's song? Guys, just hear her sing it herself- hundred percent better than what I'd pull off. Her whole album is just" She put her fits in the air, "You get what I mean?" 

A small 'magic' was heard from the background, making her frown a bit. Trying to keep her smile, Subin continued with another question "My bokki is doing fine~ he's still adjusting to the new place and roommate though . If you ask me," she leaned it for a whisper "he doesn't like them"

'new roommate!??'

"Kang Kang" Subin hummed, "I stole Jun's havanese haha...mmh I'll show you guys Kang Kang later~~ Gotta go"  

'so fast'

' girl disappears so much'

"Sorry" She pouted, turning off the live .
She waited for a minute , before turning to face her manager "What gives??" 

Her manager pointed to the door "You got a photoshoot in 2. Then we have talks with the shows producer" she remined, "Don't get mad at me"

"Keep this up and that good comment streak we have will be over" She muttered, packing up her things "I'll be called Su-never-going-to-be-long-bin" 

"Stop overreacting, the company will take care of it ; if something bad happens"

"Okay so we'll continue with a season two" The producer smiled , "Expand the show a bit, take her on solo shoots you know?" He added, looking to her manager  "The ratings are really good...so we  have one small request"

"That is?" Her manager asked worryingly ( Subin wondered why her manager was so jumpy these days, but she couldn't ask..whatever the talk was , she was just there to say yes or no ) 

"Move it to youtube" He replied "TV is good but what we have in mind would be better"

Subin's face lit up a bit "Really!? Then let's do it"

He laughed, "You could quit being an idol and do this full time, you're much better at enterta-"

Her manager cut him off "Thank you" she nodded , "Subin has to practice now , please excuse her.. we can continue" 

"Oh yes..."

"Practice?" She asked , "Do I hav- Oh right! Sorry, please excuse me" She got up "Bye~". 
Leaving she shut the door behind her sighing. Practice was a lame excuse

"Black Mamba"

Subin watched them practice, ready with the ending pose "You guys" she sniffed "My babies are grown up" 

"Babies?" Winter laughed "Since when?"

"I'm your senior"  she quoted  "Don't you have any respect for me?" she tsked , "if you debut as rookies like this you'll never succussed" 

Ningning nodded "She's right", pulling the other three towards her , they apologized "Sorry for making fun of you sunbae" 

"Ok ok" Subin moved her hands up, gesturing them to stop "I'm a good senior so I'll let it slide" 

Karina kicked her "Be quiet Jawi , before I beat you up" 

"Sorry" she ran back , hiding behind  Giselle "Save me Aeri , use that xenoglossy thing", only for Giselle to move to the side, shrugging "You stole me ice cream yesterday. See, xenoglossy only works for those who don't steal it" 

"Oh stop it" She nudged the older "You should be treating me, since I'm younger" 

"Weren't you sunbae before?" Ningning pressed "You should treat us" 

Subin crossed her arms , heading out the door "I'm not loved here anymore". Winter hugged the girl smiling "Don't go~ "

"How's practice going?" she asked, sitting down , now with a chocolate ( Karina bribed her with ) in her hand "The concept and all" 

"The ae are useless" Ningning sighed "We had to get extra dancers cause they wouldn't do anything!" 

"Being a soloist must be so much better" Winter added

"Then you can go solo" Giselle abhorred "We'll take Subin" 

"I'd rather you not" she deadpanned, shifting away slightly from the group

' stone in the water '

Subin stared at her manager dumbfounded , "They want me to give a demo???"

A nod 

"And the demo is for a general use?" She continued

Another nod

"But the demo may not be used for my music..."

Hesitation. 

She scrunched her nose, "I could make a comeback with this if they like it but there is a really good chance they will use it for a different group?" 

More hesitation 

Holding back her frustration Subin kept questioning her manager. Possibilities confusing her : I could comeback before the planned month if they like my music , but if they like it too much it could go to someone else under SM? Cool...but they could sell it to another company....Not cool.

"Most likely if its fits then they'll use it for the SM Town album" Her managed assured , "You could be lucky and be on the unit that sings the song"

"But I could have an actually comeback?" She repeated, her eyes suddenly lit up "I'll make sure of it"

"Subin...just wait. They'll give you a comeback according to schedule. You can only put out digitals if you want early releases...just wait"

She ignored her. Wait.
Subin was starting to dislike the word
