Hyun-Hee stood next to the rest of Peace Blossom feeling nervous about going on stage for some unknown reason. This was something she had done many times before, maybe it was the flight to America that was waiting for her and the others after the concert. She had never been to another country before. Wait that was wrong she had memories of arriving in another country where was that, she wasn’t sure.
“Korea” She heard a voice say softly to her but couldn’t see whose voice it was.
No that wasn’t right Korea was where she had been born and raised she was sure of that. She wished that she had gotten a hold of the Oegug-in that afternoon but apparently, she had left the hotel and wouldn’t be back until the evening. So she had no opportunity to speak to her about the doubts that had been plaguing her be the concert started.
So here she stood next to Bo Mi-Ok, Jeom Young-Mi, and Jeong Sook-Joo waiting to go on stage. They stood in a close grouping, slightly angled to each other against the dark gray wall. They were dressed almost identically in sleek, white outfits. Consisting of a cropped white blazer with button closures, a white crop top, and a pleated white mini-skirt. All four of them wore white ankle boots with laces and a chunky heel.
Not the outfit she had hoped that she would be wearing on stage but it wasn’t her turn to choose that honor had gone to Sook-Joo maybe next time she thought.
Up in the press room
Val sat there thinking that only a few days ago it would have been her on the stage performing with the other girls. Yes, she missed the thrill of performing but she was free of the pressure of being a member of Peace Blossom all she had to do now was write about them well at least until she got to the UK which she would do in a few days all she had to do now was help settle the group's new lead singer in her place.
She was almost shocked when she had returned to the hotel that evening deliberately timing it for after the group would have left for their sound check. She looked in the mirror in her room to see her new look. She knew that she would look different due to what she had started just a few short days ago but even then she was not quite prepared for what she saw.
The mirror reflected back a young, blonde woman who was wearing a red and black plaid shirt, unbuttoned over a simple white v-neck shirt. Her jeans were dark blue, and she was wearing dark brown ankle boots. With a slightly serious, almost pensive expression on her face. Her blonde hair falls in loose waves around her shoulders.
She had remembered picking the outfit before leaving the hotel it seemed appropriate to her to be wearing the same outfit that she had first seen Holly now Hyun-Hee in when she left Korea for what would be the last time.
She wondered what Hyun-Hee would make of her choice when she saw it after the concert. G-Bear had given her a copy of the girl's itinerary so that she would have a chance to speak to them before they left the venue for the airport. Of course, the group would be flying on their private jet none of that now for Val. No, she had left that life behind she would be flying on a separate flight with other passengers as she made her way to America.
She would arrive a few hours after the group but would see them once again all of them had gotten over their jet lag. She walked into the press room, looked around at the other journalists, and started to work out what she would ask when the group arrived to answer questions after their performance.
