Yuni shakes me awake. Iâm so dead tired that it feels like my body is made of lead and sunken so deep into my floor mattress that itâs about to swallow me up. I wrap my pillow around my face.
Then Yuni flicks on the lights. I hear Helena and Aram groan. I check the clockâitâs four a.m.
Thereâs no way. Weâre not scheduled to be out of bed until five. Doesnât Yuni understand that an hour of extra sleep means literally everything to us? Iâm ready to clobber her in the face.
âSorry, but this is an emergency,â she says in a hushed tone. âCEO Sonu is on her way right now.â
I shoot up to a sitting position.
âSheâs coming here?â Helena asks, blinking.
We jump out of bed. No one will tell us whatâs going on as we try to make ourselves somewhat presentable as fast as we can. Weâre not due to The Shops for the glam squad to pull our airport looks together until six.
Has the MV been canceled? Has there been a hobbit uprising in New Zealand? Whatever this is, it must be major.
Minutes later, the members gather in the living room with wet hair and scrubbed faces. The ultra-bright lights are on, and the same camerawomen from last night are here, too. Weâve been on camera without makeup before, but never this early and on so little sleep. Aram is the only one who looks presentableâitâs impossible for her to not look goodâwhile WooWee is trying in vain to shield her face with her hand.
When Lena finally arrives, sheâs dressed impeccably in a couture houndstooth suit and looks like sheâs been up for hours.
We all sit up straighter. The Idol Apartment is so intimate to the six of us and our managers; seeing someone so grown and elegant here makes us unbearably self-conscious.
âIâm sorry to show up here unannounced, ladies,â Lena says with a mournful look on her face. Thereâs a red rim around her eyes. âI have some awful news. I know youâre wondering where your member BowHee is.â
We look around. I can tell from everyoneâs faces that we were all too frantic this morning to notice she wasnât here.
âVery late last night,â Lena goes on, âBowHee came to my office, saying she had an emergency. She asked meâactually, begged meâto please let her out of her contract.â Lenaâs voice breaks, and she dabs her eyes with a silk handkerchief. âShe told me she was in misery. She asked me for mercy by letting her go. It became clear to me that for her sake, and for her health, I had no other choice but to grant her wish.â
No.
No, no, no.
This canât be real. I literally pinch myself. Iâm going to wake up and see Helenaâs nasty foot in front of my face.
Just a few hours ago, BowHee was happy, jumping up and down with us watching the drones streak across the sky. That smile on the roof told me that she was fully committed again to move forward, insecurities be damned.
