Head up, legs crossed.

But you probably shouldnt.

You know how they say three can keep a secret if two are dead?

Or, at least, they can kill your chance to shine.

You girls must be thrilled!

The interviewer is a middle-aged man with oily, slicked-back hair and fair skin.

He might have been handsome if his garish hot-pink satin tie and red shirt combo werent so distracting.

1 at all the music shows, and with your debut music video no less!

Youre one chart away from an All-Kill!

How do you feel?

We couldnt be more excited.

Mina jumps in eagerly, flashing her perfect teeth in a beaming smile.

My face muscles ache as I stretch to match her.

Its a dream come true, Eunji agrees before loudly popping her gum and blowing a huge strawberry-scented bubble.

The interviewers eyes light up, and he leans in conspiratorially.

So you all get along?

I mean, nine incredibly beautiful girls in one group.

That cant always be easy.

Sumin gives a soft, effortless laugh, pursing her perfectly lined bright-red lips.

Nothing is ever always easy, she says.

And family comes first.

She links arms with Lizzie sitting next to her.

The interviewer flutters a hand over his heart.

And what do you love about working together?

His eyes travel slowly over the group, finally landing on me.
