I went ahead and took a selfie with the girls in our costumes, and upload it to Instagram.

Comments and likes started flooding in, I'm going to be completely honest and admit that I feel really good when I see it in action.

'You guys look so cute!' one of the comments read.

The song and the video are pretty youthful, so our costumes weren't anything special. We were to perform outside and Japan's humidity wasn't planning to cool down for us.

As soon as sunset rolled in people began lining up around the hotel. The concert was going to be held in the back of the Tres Spades, and we weren't gonna be the only ones performing."

Sistar is going to be there.

I don't even want to see their performance. In fact, I'm not going to.

I could be practicing while they're out there

The night comes too fast for me and soon it's our turn to perform. Just as Sistar gets off the stage we go up next.

"2ne1!"

The stage that appears on the screen before us goes dark for a few moments before lighting up again, this time with our name in lights and the stage adorned in totally different colors from the last performance. We walk on stage and start our performance.

(Video of concert is on here.)

~~~*~~~
We step off the stage and immediately the feeling of satisfaction emerges within me. I felt so accomplished.

I turn around and smile at the girls. "Good job out there! Just listen to their screams!"

I hear there cheers and it makes me feel complete.

Ah...fame is such a bliss.

"We'll for sure be at the top this year." We all walk out into the hallway.

They all look down nervously. Dara is the first to speak up.

"The manager, left us a note...."

I was turned away from them and I was smiling but now my smile disappears and instead, I start laughing.

"So she couldn't even last till tomorrow? Looks like I was wrong." I turn around and smirk. "I didn't expect her to leave today."

"CL, this isn't a game!" Bom raises her voice for the first time.

"Bommie dear, don't get your panties in a bunch. She just couldn't handle us, is all."

"More like she couldn't handle you!" Dara implies.

"You can't just mess with people like that, what are you, a teenager? You're acting far from your age." Minzy says looking more serious than usual.

"Hey now. Don't you think you're exaggerating a bit? We can just get another manager-"

"CL this is the 4th manager that leaves us!" Minzy snaps.

My eyes grow wide. "You know what?" I start. "I'm tired of you three constantly being on my case about these things, I'm your leader, and I decide what's best for our group and our fame. Simple as that."

"Yes, okay, but you don't have to be such a bitch about it."

I chuckle sourly. "Hey, if you don't like the way I run things, then that's your problem."

"You're just a stupid naive little bitch who thinks that she's the fucking queen because she's famous. We're on the same level Chaerin, and you have no right to treat us like peasants. You aren't a queen CL, and if you think you are, you got us fucked up." Bom lashes out on me.

I told her not to call me that.

I glare at her. "Like I said-"

"Maybe it is our problem." Minzy directs her gaze at me. "It makes things easier this way. We're done with you and your bratty attitude."

"Wait-"

They don't let me finish.

"Same here." Bom agrees.

I look at Dara with a 'can you believe this' look.

She makes a pained expression and steps back with her hands in front of her. "Sorry CL but if I knew that you were gonna treat us this way in the end, I wouldn't have joined from the beginning."

I stand there in shock not knowing how to handle this. 2ne1 breaking up? Fans will mourn from all over.

Discarding that thought, anger boils from within me. My anger meter was just about to blow and everyone of their insults fueled it. My pride is too great for this.

If I can't use them to climb up, then I'll just have to climb alone.

I quiet down my anger and instead smile at my resolve. I take a step closer to the three. "Fine, I don't need any of you anyway. Getting this far as 2ne1." I laugh. "It's all thanks to me."

"...and if I can't become number one with you together, then I'll just have to be it myself."

I walk past them holding my head high and the definition of confidence plastered on my face. I take a step forward and turn once more, a smirk playing out on my face, paired up with my eyes which were now narrowed in amusement. "Watch me."

I walk away but as I pass by a corner I'm suddenly bumped into by a tall, handsome man with his hair slicked back and a grey suit.

I almost fall backwards but he holds me up.

"...." He stares down at me as I stand in his arms. His eyes where a bit intimidating, and so was his aura.

"..." I was really irritated and I felt like crying yet maybe just slapping someone. But I was going to hold back, I had to, I can't ruin my image.

"...thank you." I pull away. "But you should watch where you're going."

I leave without hearing him say a single word.

A/N: Yup... And also I changed the summary, and no, she won't be sold lol.

Thanks for reason don't forget to vote and comment <3 I really appreciate it.
