@Amber Still...
/shrugs
at least you're being you...

@Sleeping beauty Yeah...but it's probably why I've been single for so long. *chuckles*

@Amber Well...there's nothing wrong with that...
*smiles*
It's your charm..

@Sleeping beauty *chuckles* Nah. But, it's okay. I guess I was made to be more "handsome" than "pretty".

@Amber Don't say that~
/pouts
You are pretty...

@Sleeping beauty Uh...no...not really. *shaking head* It's just the makeup they put on me and the skincare they make us use.

@Amber *laughs and shakes my head*
You're already pretty~

@Sleeping beauty *jokingly* Oh please, Beauty Queen Sica, teach this pathetic servant all of your knowledge on how to be pretty. *chuckles*

@Amber *laughs quietly and ruffles your hair*
Some of them can protect your hair from heat and colouring...

@Sleeping beauty *laughs* I don't know anything about that. I thought that all shampoos were pretty much the same...

@Amber *pouts slightly, reaching out and touching your hair*
We should buy you some special shampoo or something...

@Sleeping beauty *nodding* You're probably right. I'll think about it. I just really wish they'd stop making me dye my hair so much...*chuckling, feeling of my own hair* It's so dry and damaged now.

@Amber *bites my lip*
Well...maybe you should think about it a little more? Weigh out all the pros and cons of leaving sm?

@Sleeping beauty I love my friends, but...I don't like all the crap we all go through. It just...I just can't deal with it anymore. I want to leave, I do, but...*sighs* I've got a whole family at home just waiting for this whole "idol" thing to go wrong.

@Amber *nods slowly*
Well...as long as you're happy you should stay.
*nods once again*

@Sleeping beauty *looks away* Yeah, but...like I said, I prefer being with my group. They were the ones that were always there for me when I first joined SM. Even back when I couldn't speak a word of Korean. I could end up in another girl group, yeah, but those other girls would be just that...other girls. Not my friends. Besides, if I left SM, lets just say...rumors about me would start.

@Amber *smiles slightly and rests my hand on your shoulder*
Thank you Amber...that means a lot...
*nods*
Hey...don't say that. You're so talented. You think that if you left SM another agency would take you on?
*shakes my head*
You're one of the most popular idols...everyone loves you. Even people who aren't f(x) fans seem to adore you...
*smiles*
you'd have no trouble staying in the public eye

@Sleeping beauty *shakes head* You'd never be a nobody, Sica. You have alot of people that love you. Your fans will never forget you, and you have your sister and family to support you. Besides, you're an amazing actress and model and now you're a fashion designer too. You can do anything. This, though, is all I got.

@Amber Because I spent my whole life either training to get into SM or actually being in SM...
*shrugs*
I didn't know what would happen to me once I'd left...I could end up a nobody...

@Sleeping beauty *looks up, surprised* Why were you scared, though?

@Amber I understand...
*nods*
I was terrified too...

@Sleeping beauty Same. But...I'm too scared to leave. *stirring my drink with my straw*

@Amber *sighs quietly and nods*
Yeah...I just couldn't take it for much longer...you know?

@Sleeping beauty Rumor is that you were planning leaving SM anyway, once your group made one last album. Is that true? And is it because of the way they treat us?

@Amber *sighs and nods*
yeah...I remember that all too well...

@Sleeping beauty No, cuz I know I'll just get yelled at, to be honest.

@Amber *pouts*
Have you said anything?

@Sleeping beauty *bites lip* Well...uh...a little.

@Amber That sounds good...
*nods*
You're not being overworked right?

@Sleeping beauty Ummm...good. We haven't been doing much since "red light", but we'll probably have another album or EP this year. *nodding*
