The members of FMC have decided on a fandom name! They have a fandom name for the main group, and then each member also has a fandom name. We would do fandoms for sub-units, but that would be a bit much. Anyways, each member created their own name and logo for their fandom. They all worked together to create the main logo.

"After months of searching, we've finally found the perfect trainees that fit your request!"
Dohee was sitting in New Dawn's conference room, tapping her fingers on the table impatiently as her recruiting team presented to her. There were two of them, a man and a woman. The man, Park Heesung, was fidgeting nervously with some papers with his hands while his partner, Kang Seunghee presented.
After months of searching, New Dawn had gotten a trainee program started. They had started with 25 trainees, but they had been slowly dwindling it down to just five. It seemed they had finally come to an agreement. Dohee turned to Heesung, the head of the training program.
"Who did you choose?"
She already knew that Kate would be the finalist. Kate wasn't the most talented trainee and she was definitely outmatched in many departments, but Dohee had requested she be a part of the group anyways. She needed Kate for something else. She was a part of Dohee's grand scheme.
"W-wellโฆ" Heesung fumbled with his papers, causing many of them to fall out of his hands and flutter to the ground. "We've chosen Kate Miyakawa, due to your request."
"Yes, I know that!" Dohee snapped impatiently. "Who are the other four?"
"Roh Minerva," Seunghee said calmly. Dohee nodded approvingly as she continued. "Hwayoung Zhang. Yena Yu. Lee Seoyeon."
'Not to self,' Dohee thought. 'Fire Heesung and replace him with Seunghee.'
"Perfect. Send notices to them immediately. We'll begin preparations for their debut next week."
Seunghee and Heesung both bowed, then exited the conference room. Dohee looked over at the other board members of New Dawn: Wendy Wilkes, Ahn Yeojin and Park Minho.
"Saki and Hanni have begun to look for their sister," Yeojin said softly from the end of the table.
"Debuting her will create waves," Wendy warned. "No good sister would allow her sister to be that close to her enemy."
"Yes, I'm well aware," Dohee snapped.
"I fail to see the plan here," Minho, Dohee's cousin, lushed his glasses up his nose.
Dohee sighed and rolled her eyes. "You wouldn't see the plan if it came and hit you in the nose."
"This is about revenge, right? Getting back at Jiwoo for firing you?" Minho prodded. "So why are we bringing her idols into this?"
"If we bring them down, we bring her down," Wendy reasoned. "Isn't it obvious?"
"The disappearance of their sister already has them on edge," Yeojin muttered nervously. "If Saki and Hanni leave the groupโฆ"
"The rest of it will crumble with them," Wendy finished.
"Bring the contracts to the trainees, and hurry," Dohee told Minho. "We need them bound before Hwayoung gets cold feet."
Minho nodded and left the room.
Yeojin shuffled nervously, but she didn't question it. Dohee smirked, pleased that the girl was finally learning.
"You two, back to your posts!" she snapped at Wendy and Yeojin. They followed Minho out, leaving Dohee alone. She leaned back in her chair, then began laughing.
Finally, after months of waiting, Jiwoo was close to crumbling!
โโโ
"Cheers to a successful concert!" Penni cheered before downing a can of soda. Jiwoo watched her silently, pondering the events of the concert.
"Why is it that whenever we need Yeojin, she disappears?" she asked Penni. They were in Jiwoo's office, Jiwoo sitting at her desk and Penni sitting on her desk. Jiwoo's hands were stapled in front of her as she pondered the question she had just asked.
Penni shrugged, twirling the Sprite can in her hand, making the liquid inside slosh around. "She's a teenager. Teenagers nowadays are unreliable. She was probably either doomscrolling on Instagram or making out with a guy somewhere."
"I don't see Yeojin doing either of those thingsโฆ" Jiwoo muttered. Something about this situation was bugging her, and she couldn't figure out what.
"So then fire her! She's proved she's not reliable!"
Jiwoo groaned. "And replace her with whom, Penni?"
"I can find you someone."
"Who?"
She thought for a second while she took another sip of her drink. "We're going to be recruiting the DJs next."
"The who?"
"Dimension Jumpers. Keep up, Jiwoo. Anyways, the main characters of that series have gay moms who could be our managers."
"Really?"
"Yep. They would be amazing at it."
"What are their names?"
"Alexia and Marina Wilkes."
Jiwoo considered it, then nodded. "Would you do me a favor, Penni?"
"Anything."
"Send Yeojin her termination notice for me."
โโโ
Saki threw her backpack into the trunk of the car, then turned to Hanni. Hanni was leaning against the car they had rented for their search, looking up at the RE:VENGE building longingly.
"Are you sure you don't want me to come?" Briella asked from the other side of Saki, making her jump. She had forgotten her girlfriend was standing there. After her surprise passed, she smiled and took her girlfriend's hand.
"I'd love if you did, but we can't leave the group with only four members."
Briella shook her head. "Saki, this is more important-"
"We can handle it, love," Saki tried to reassure her. "Anyway, we're the only ones who got permission to go."
Briella sighed and wrapped Saki in a hug. "Be careful, alright?"
Saki hugged her back. "I always am."
"Lies."
"Nuh-uh."
"Ready to go?" Hanni asked, pushing herself off the car. Saki nodded and waved goodbye to Briella. They got into the car, Hanni in the driver's seat and Saki next to her. Saki watched Briella grow smaller out the review mirror as they drove away.
"You could've stayed, you know," Hanni said.
Saki shook her head. "I want to come."
Hanni went silent, and Saki looked back out the window, although Briella was gone now. Far away yet still so close. She could change her mind at any minute. If it weren't her little sister, she would.
"Why didn't Nilla come out and say goodbye?" Saki asked Hanni, tearing her attention away from the window.
"Because I'm not as brave as you. If she had come to seen us off, I wouldn't have left."
โโโ
"Have you seen this?" Jiwoo threw a paper down on top of the book Penni was reading. Penni picked the paper up and studied it.
"No, I have not, because this came out five minutes ago and I have been busy. How did you get it so quickly?"
"I've been searching the news outlets like crazy for news of her," Jiwoo admitted. "But read it!"
Penni sighed and scanned the paper. Jiwoo scanned her face for any sign of surprise or terror, but she kept a poker face the entire time. When she was done reading, she lowered the paper and cocked an eyebrow at Jiwoo.
"Why are you surprised about this? We knew it had to happen eventually."
"The week after FMC debuted? Could she choose a worse time?"
"At least she didn't do it before, or on the same day. She could've done it on the same day. That would've been worse."
Jiwoo groaned in frustration. "She's trying to steal our spotlight!"
"Promotions for 'Destiny' are almost over, Ji."
"Don't call me that," Jiwoo snapped. "Their debut is scheduled for the day after our promotions end."
"Okay, well, they had to debut eventually."
"Why are you on her side?"
"I'm not! I'm just trying to be rational!"
Jiwoo shot a glare at her, but she just shrugged.
"If you're so worried about it, then why don't you just give FMC some solo songs or something? Or we can get the next sub-unit going sooner, but you told me you want a six month break."
The women glared at each other for a moment until Jiwoo finally relented. She leaned against Penni's desk and sighed.
"You're right, I want FMC to have a break for a bit. I should've known she's try to steal my spotlight."
"We could always steal it back. I know some of the girls have been writing their own music, we could give them all a little solo album."
Jiwoo nodded. "I'll think about it. In the meantime, continue working on the next sub-unit."
Penni nodded, then set down the paper and picked the book back up. The door slammed open just as she was beginning to get back into it. Nilla and Lindzy rushed into the room, red-faced and out of breath.
"Penni! Code red!" Nilla screamed.
"It's terrible!" Lindzy ran into the desk, having not stopped running in time.
Penni sighed and sat the book down. "Why? What's going on?"
Lindzy saw the news article on Penni's desk and picked it up, then waved it in Penni's face. "These guys! The group under New Dawn!"
Jiwoo perked up and walked over to the girls. "What about them?"
"Kate! She's in the group!" Nilla yelled. Despite the girls' rushed replies, Penni immediately knew what they were talking about. She turned to Jiwoo, her calm demeanor immediately turning deadly serious.
"We have to get Saki and Hanni back here."
"What?"
"Now!"
"They're looking for their sister, though!" Jiwoo protested. "Why do they need to come back?"
"Cherry is also in the group. Nilla stole their list of trainees to see who else would be debuting with Kate," Lindzy explained. Penni stood up and started pacing.
"It makes sense, sadly," Nilla muttered. Penni nodded, then turned to Jiwoo.
"If Kate catches Saki, it's game over for her. We have to get her back here where we can protect her."
"Who's Kate?" Jiwoo asked, feeling lost. Penni picked up a book from her desk and handed it to her.
"Read the freaking book and then you'd know!"
"I don't have time to read a book!"
Nilla stepped in between the two. "She's one of the villains of our series, and she hates Saki. She won't rest until Saki is dead."
JIwoo paled. "Alright. I'll get them back."
"You were right, we do need to crush that group. That's probably going to be the only way to save Cherry now," Penni muttered.
Jiwoo nodded. "Work on those solo releases."
"You've got it."
"This group will be dead before they have even started if we do this well."
"After months of searching, we've finally found the perfect trainees that fit your request!"
