A Life of the Idol Known as Irene - Volume 2: Part 1 - Future Imperfect


Recommended Posts

SBS Broadcast Building, Seoul, Korea
November 6 2016


Kei and Lovelyz had their third win with their hit song "All My Love" at Inkigayo. As the group gets ready to do their encore, the members of Red Velvet bow and congratulate them except for Red Velvet's leader.

Irene doesn't look too happy and stares unpleasantly at them. She begins to think how Red Velvet's mini-album sales have been sluggish. Lee Soo Man promised them fame and riches but the company was in total chaos internally. Many of the most creative producers and audio engineers that worked for SM have been leaving due to scandals, poor management and almost all resources going to male solo artists and boy groups. Many netizens have accused SM of being just a trap for female fans to irrationally obsess over the next artificially created boy idol just off the assembly line.

When the broadcast ended and the idols were leaving, Red Velvet and Lovelyz had a chance to see each other up close again. Irene walked nearby Kei and made a sarcastic smile and jokingly said to her, "So you are the 'white beauty' I hear about. You don't look that pretty up close as I thought you would."

Noticing Irene's jealously and bothered by her rude comment, Kei retorted back to Irene "Hul...a girl needs more than beauty to get far ahead, but I'm sure you know about that..."

This enraged Irene even more and the two began to stare at each other and looked like they were ready to fight. The other girls  stood around them and look horrified at what was happening. This kind of thing happened inside the closed door of their company's offices and training rooms, but never out in public.

To break up the tension Wendy spoke up and said, "Joohyun, please, you need to show a good example. You can't act like this, especially to a junior".

Irene had been quietly repressing all the thing she has been enduring for seven years at SM, but she was reaching a breaking point. SM management expected so much from her and her group but they provided little support.

The small confrontation quickly dissipated and they all left to their companies. Joy, Wendy and Seulgi all asked Irene what was wrong. She told them that as a leader she had a lot to deal with, and every time there's problems with the group's performance she is responsible for it despite it not being her fault directly.

Netizens on Pann made posts about the way Irene looked at Lovelyz on Inkigayo and said she was surely jealous and that Red Velvet's lack of charm was a reason they were doing poorly despite originating from SM.

When Irene was alone in her dorm she felt like crying and wished to be with her mother, to be hugged and reassured by her that everything would be fine.

Irene closed her eyes, she never believed in religion but right now she wished there was a higher power that she could pray to so it could help her solve her problems.

At that moment Irene felt very faint and laid down on her bed and then began to sleep. She had a dream of being in a strange place with buildings that looked like crystals and the sky was slightly orange and misty. Expecting to see the sun at a very bright point in the sky she instead saw a figure that came down to her.

It was a bearded man that looked foreign to her but at the same time familiar.

Irene asked the man, "Who are you?"

The man replied, "I am Teshub, your father."

Irene was thrown aback by the statement but was curious to know why he was saying that and said, "I know who my parents are, you don't even look like me, it's not possible we can be related."

A holographic image appeared in front of Irene and she saw two figures. One looked like Kei but a bit older and another was what appeared to be Teshub but much younger and without a beard. The two images merged and her face began to appear. Another hologram appeared and a movie played that showed sperm going into an ovum which began to divide immediately. The movie zoomed in and she saw the genetic material inside, which was been combined with each other and then tiny robots making modifications.

Irene was slightly disturbed to what she saw. Teshub told her, "Your real origin is from here. Thousands of years from the time you were born. We can transport to any era and implant the zygote into women. There are many others like you who throughout time have been called Goddesses by early humans, but are in actuality perfected humans. The woman that you know as Kei is your genetic mother, of which her clone you have already met."

While all this information was too much for Irene to understand or want to know, she began to understand a little. Irene woke up, feeling assured that her strange dream was just that and had nothing to worry about. But she was at least satisfied that the shock from it snapped her off her rut. She went into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She taught about the images she saw in the dream, and how her skin and cheeks were like that of Kei and her nose and forehead were like that of Teshub. While she was doing that, Seulgi came into the dorm and called for Irene.

Seulgi asked Irene how she was feeling, and Irene replied that she was doing better. Then Irene asked Seulgi, "Can you do me a favor, please?"

Chanyeol kicked Taeyong in the stomach and was moving to stomp on his head.

"You little ****", Chanyeol yelled.

Taeyong got away and tried standing his ground and punch Chanyeol on his liver. Chanyeol screamed in pain and fell down.

"Damn you! I will kill you....!", Chanyeol yelled. Seeing that his opponent was on the ground, the member of Boys' Generation, grabbed his senior by the head and said "You...stay away from Irene! You don't deserve her!" Then he spit at Chanyeol's face and left.

Taeyong left the building and was spotted by Kai and Sehun.

Kai: "Hey, pretty boy. You are more tougher than you look. We were both expecting to see Chanyeol covered in your blood."

Sehun: "I always knew Channie was a ******. What's the use of being so tall when you can't do anything except trip over yourself."

Taeyong: "So all this was a set up, huh. And you two were supposed to be his backup in case Chanyeol screamed for help. I'm right here if you need me."

Sehun: "We won't fight you, but who knows if the time for that will ever come. Infact, all you guys from Boys' Generation did us a favor."

Kai: "You guys took all the ugly sasaengs away from us. And with a stupid name like Boys' Generation we mostly feel sorry for you."

Taeyong: "I see, no hard feelings then. And I wouldn't be talking like that with all the **** I heard EXO was doing in the back of cars."

Kai: "You have to do what you have to do. In the end I will leave the company a rich man."

Sehun: "Let's go pick up Channie. I'm not worried about him but SM will ask too many questions if they see him too beat up."

The men leave the alley and go their own ways. Taeyong calls Johny and is beginning to plan.

Taeyong: "Johny, I just had a fight with Chanyeol."

Johny: "What the ****...."

Taeyong: "It was over Irene. I need your help in talking to her. Tell her I have been really worried about her and would like to make her feel better, but its not easy because I don't want anyone else to get the wrong idea."

Johny: "You are insane, getting into fights, asking me to help you with your dumb love scheme. Listen, you are so blinded by your lust for Irene that you aren't even aware that we will leave for Japan soon."

Taeyong: "Oh ****, I did forget."

Johnny: "You are Korea's it boy, now it's time for Yuta to shine."

Johnny: "Yuta's **** is going to be shoved in everyone's face in Japan, we will just stand there looking stupid, mumbling one or two lines in broken Japanese. This is ********, but I guess Kai had a point, we just have to do what we have to do."

Kei and Irene both encountered each. The meeting was arranged by Seulgi, who owed Irene several big favors. Especially hiding that one secret that could have torn Seulgi's career, reputation, and family to pieces.

Kei: "Evey time I saw you always had a cold and blank stare. Up close like this your placid nature is refreshing. What is it that you want?"

Irene: "I need your help...to help me find my future."
