her age. She still looked like a teenager. Is she a vampire?

“You look younger than your actual age Ga Young-shi.” Choi Seunghyun said to her.

“Kamsamida Oppa.” She thanked him bowing her head.

“And you have a boyfriend too?” Ji Yong asked her.

“De.”

At that answer, he acted like he really suffered. “Ah Appa!” He mumbled sadly. He laid his right hand on his heart and squeezed the shirt like it really hurt. “Then your heart is already taken. Why?”

“Well..” Ga Young-shi mumbled feeling half guilty. “It's true, but there's always place for you in my heart oppa!” She quickly added. Like I expected from a fan of his. "You'll always be in my heart oppa!"

“Really? You’re not saying it just please me, are you?” He asked her with a sad yet cute look. When she nodded, the sadness disappear in no time. He grabbed her hands, folded them with his hands, and joyfully jumped around with her. The woman smiled from ear to ear while staring at him. What is this? A drama?

Choi Seunghyun felt casted apart, so he grabbed one of her hands too and asked. “And I?” With a cute and pouty expression on his face.

“Ah..Of course! Of course!" She replied. "You too have a place in my heart Oppa.” She said, but I could see her a little burdened.

“Jinjia?” He asked anyway and she nodded. So, they all started to jump around happily. I stared at them shaking my head, but I had to admit I was happy.

The PD arrived right then. He told me that they were ready to start, so I prepared myself. I fixed my figure as much as possible and I even checked up if there were eventual pimples on my face. Expect for the mole next to the right eyebrow, there wasn't any problem with my face. I thought about taking off the jacket two or three times, but I choose to not take it off in the end. I liked the chic-rock-style it gave me. Then after several hairstyles, I decided to let my hair free. Just like I always do and my stylist agreed with my choices. The make-up artist fixed my makeup, but I still lingered in front of the mirror.

“Stop staring at yourself already.” Ji yong complained behind me. “You're beautiful, like always.” He lovingly added though. Oh my.. I blushed glancing at him through the mirror, but I broke eye contact with him right away, when I reminded that we were still in public.

“Thank you.” I simply replied.

“You can do it Yumi-chan.” Choi Seunghyun filled up the silence between me and Ji Yong. Thank God Choi Seunghyun is always here to help us. “Don't worry too much and do your best.” He cheered for me.

“Thank you Oppa.” I thanked him. “I’ll do my best.” I added.

“I'll cheer for you too Yumi-shi.” Ga Young-shi joined him.

“Thank you very much Ga Young-shi.” I thanked her too. “Or should I call you eoni?” I asked.

“Nah. Just Ga Young, it’s fine.” She said waving her hands.

“But doesn’t it bother you if I call you by your name?”

“I feel old when someone call me eoni.” She explained.

I smirked. “You know, you just remind me of Yang Suk Ki. She said the same thing yersterday.” I said smiling and she nodded understanding. Then, without further delays, I followed the PD in the recording area, not before had greeted Ga Young-shi and the boys. The PD told me to stay for a few minutes behind the mini-cameras. Doni and Coni would have done their gags and then announced me. Doni and Coni went to their spots and prepared too. And 3. 2. 1. Oh mamma mia! I hope to not make a gaff. Has been my last thought before they turned on the cameras.

 

 

＼＼WEEKLY IDOL!／／

 

They shouted like they always do, but it was surreal to watch them on live. I felt my stomach twisting nervously and my hands were sweating too. Okay calm down Yumi-ha..Breath..You can do it. I repeated as a mantra. Breath. “Good morning everyone!” Defcon greeted first.

“Yeah, Good morning, Fabulous people of South Korea.” Doni greeted too, but more jockly. “Today, when I first heard that we'd have had another business with YG, I didn't believe it at first.” He confessed.

“But we do have another an affair with them right?!” His pal asked.

“De, we have it.” He nodded.

“It seems like our staff's wishes really become true.” Defcon joked around looking at the staff beside me.

“De.” Doni concorded. “They must have prayed the Good Lord to make their wishes come true all night long.”

“Even our PD-nim prayed him.” They made fun of him. but he just laughed at that comments.

The two MCs laughed along with him. “This time is a girl.” Doni announced.

“From YG Baby!” His pal said with a rough and funny tone of voice.

“And we didn't even have to make much efforts to invite her, unlike that other GD.” Doni let know. “She actually seemed more available to chat also on kakao than him.” He added. Yes, I have a Kakao profile. Ji Yong wasn't so into Social chat. Or more precisely he preferred to text to me and to his close friends.

“She's the leader of her band, but she never forget to mention her members.” Defcon said this time. 

“Her band reached the top on music’s charts for more than five weeks. And also conquered the 5 place in the Europe charts.” Doni added.

“Yeah man! They're unstoppable!” Defcon exclaimed making the horns sign. “And their leader will lead you in a world made of rock, with just her voice. She'll blow your mind baby!”

“But mostly your heart.” His pal stated squeezing his chest, like if his heart really did hurt. The cameras framed me for a few seconds, I took advantage and acted cute in front of them. Then they got back to the MCs.

“She might look cute, but she's a beast on stage.” Doni said smiling. “There's a beast under that pretty face. I assure you people.” He insisted.

Defcon sighed. “Ah. I never saw a girl act like that.” He said referring to how I act on stage with my bandmates. We certainly didn't act like others girl groups did, all cute and nice and.. boring. Rock isn’t for everyone.

“Now we’re gonna announce her.” Doni said. “From the new first YG pop-rock band, Sweet Stones, ...YUMI!” They shouted out loud. And I walked in, with the intro of our debut’s song on the background. *Blow Your Heart*. They even sang along the lyrics of the chorus.

 

♫♫ say you’ll Leave your doubts behind♫ ♬
Is not funny when you’re so far
Baby Come closer, You’ll be fine
I promise I’ll blow your heart
♬ ♪into mine♬ ♪

 

They shook their heads back and forth, impersonating my moves on stage and I joined them, but they had to stop because their neck hurted. “Ah Enough! My neck hurts.” Defcon complained giggling.

Doni concorded. “We're too old for this Defcon-ha.” He said stretching his neck. “Please introduce yourself Yumi. We'll fix our necks in the meantime.” He told me.

I giggled looking at them. Then I looked at the cameras. “Annyeong Haseyo, Jeo nun Sweet Stones Leader Lee Yunmi Imnida. Nice to meet you all!” I introduced myself bowing respectfully.

“Thanks for being here.” Defcon replied. I nodded.

“Why are you moving backwards. Are you scared?” Doni asked me. I didn't even notice that I was moving backwards untill he motioned it.

I got closer them again. “Kuge Anira.” I waved my hands denying it.

“Don't be scared..” He said.

“Yeah, we're normal people.” Defcon added.

“Yeah.” Doni concorded. “Normal piggies that like to eat..and roll in mud.” He added. "Normal." I laughed with everyone else at that declaration.

“Normal people, not piggies Hyundon-ha." Defcon complained.

“It's the same thing..” Has been the distract reply of his fat pal. We all laughed again. “Let’s continue comfortably from now on, Okay Yumi-ha?” He said looking at me.

I nodded. “De.” I answered feeling more comfortable now.

“Your song is very catchy and cool, but has a rock feeling that I really like.” He complimented me and I thanked him. “But.. Did you really act like this on stage? Doesn't your neck hurt when you do this over and over and over..” He asked moving his head back and forth again, but not hard like before.

 “Aniyo.” I stated, but it wasn’t totally true. “Well, not so much. Just a little.” I admitted. “Just a little.”

“Ah.” They mumbled. “That’s good. Because your neck would have already broke down.. Like mine.” Defcon confessed caressing his hurted neck. I felt bad.

“I’m sure you’ll recover defcon.” His pal comforted him, then he concentrated his attention on me again. “Why did you choose Sweet Stones as a name anyway?” He asked me. “I can understand why you choose Sweet, but why Stones?”

“Ah Well, because..” I begun. He approached me more and he touched the skin of my arm.

“You don't feel like..Stone.” He mumbled pinching lightly my skin. “I'd rather say that your skin is very soft.”

That made me giggle. “Well..Stones doesn't mean literally..Made of stones.” I replied. “We chose that name because we wanted a name that was related to us. A name that impersonated us for how we really are.” I explained.

“Ahh. That means that you’re Sweet like candy, but fierce too, right?!” He asked my confirm.

I nodded. “Yes, Exactly.”

They nodded understanding, then Doni came out with a discutable statement. “I think that I'm made of kimchi and Bap.” He blurred out. Everyone laughed, included me.

“Borago?” His pal asked him in disbelief. “Why would you be made of kimchi and Bap?” He asked.

“Because I eat them everyday at my place and you have to admit that people sees me as a funny fat man, Kind and delicious inside, but I'm also very spicy outside.” He answered.

“Jinjia?!” I exclaimed giggling.

“Then you must be pooping just kimchi and Bap all these days..” His pal stated.

Doni and I laughed so hard. “Now that we're all comfortable, we'll move to the segments..” He announced getting slowly back to himsel and he looked at me. “I’ve told you about this beforehand right?!” He said and I nodded. “Since she’s a rocker, From now on, we have a new segment. It won't be Random Play dance, but.. [Random Play Live].”

“We did the same thing with Jung Joon Young and we'd like to do it with you as well.” Defcon informed me. I nodded.

“So, now..” Doni begun. A female staff came towards us, with my electric guitar and she handed it to me. “Yumi will play and sing a couple of songs from Sweet Stones’s mini album.”

“Live!” Defcon added and his pal nodded. He asked me if I was ready.

“De.” I nodded.

"Then play whatever you want.” He replied. I took my time, took a deep breath and played *Blow Your Heart* first and they sang along again. Like he said before, we had a mini album with just four song in it, so I decided to play them all. After Blow Your Heart*, I played  *Listen to Me*, Then *Obsessed* and then *Chills*. Just 4 songs, since it was a mini album. The hosts seemed to enjoy all of them. Mostly Jung Hyun Don. His immersed expression was priceless.

They applauded loudly when I finished. And Doni even asked me if there were more songs. With a sorrowful heart I had to tell him that there weren’t any. “That’s such a pity!” He stated. “I’d love to hear more songs.” He confessed.

“Jae som hamnida uncle.” I apologized. “The other members and I are currently writing other songs for another album though. An entire album this time.” I revealed because I knew they would have felt better and so Sweet Stones’s fans.

“Ah jinjia?” They exclaimed happy again.

“But isn’t it too early?” Defcon asked though. “I mean, You’ve debuted just a merely a month ago.”

“Ah..De.” I felt a little embarrassed.

“Shouldn’t you guys enjoy your break?” Doni pal asked me.

“Yeah, but since
