Jihyun stared into the mirror as she pinched a few strands of her newly dyed blonde hair between her fingers. She couldn't get used to the fact that her hair wasn't black anymore but she had to admit, she was growing on the blonde shade. It wasn't too bright but wasn't dark either, it was perfectly in between. She was dressed in a set of provocative clothing, Jaeli had warned her about this but she agreed anyways. She grimaced out as she tried to tug the short top lower to no avail. She didn't understand how Hyuna was used to short outfits when she was promotion as Troublemaker."Noona, hyung's looking...what the hell." H.O blinked as Jihyun turned biting her lip. None of the Madtown boys had seen her new hair nor her new concept. Minwoo was the first too see and he fell into shock. Jiwoo and Taehwan had stared at her resembling gaping fishes before regaining their composure."Wow." H.O breathed out as his eyes scanned her from head to toe. "This is...different." He sputtered out."I like your hair though. But shouldn't you be wearing more clothes? Aren't you going to be cold?" He asked innocently but his eyes had a different glint in them."Yah. Maknae!" Jihyun slapped his arm as he whined out in pain but let out a goofy grin."I'm kidding noona. You look fine. Just different. Are you doing a sexy concept?" He asked as both of them strolled out to where the MV was being filmed."Mhm." Jihyun murmered out. "Illhoon's being featured in my song. Although, I don't really know how the live performances are going to go, he has a japanese tour with the rest of BTOB the week after my promotions start.""I'll fill in!" H.O exclaimed happily. "I can get Moos hyung to teach me some of his skills and bam! I get to be on stage with noona." Jihyun felt a smile threatening to break though. H.O really was her favorite.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------After a whirlwind of MV shooting and pictorals. It was weird to say that promotions were almost over. Jihyun had two comeback stages left. Currently, she was sitting in the dressing room as she stared into the mirror. She had a small interview soon and that was when she was planning to tell the world her next plans."Hyunnie?" Minwoo poked his head in to stare at his little sister. "The interview is going to start soon. Are you ready?" Glancing once more into the mirror, she got to her feet as she followed Minwoo out the door. In her mind, gears were turning as to how she would break the news, she had decided that she didn't want to flat out say that she was going on hiatus but rather hint at it. If she said it now, she'd have to explain to everyone and quite frankly, she didn't really want too."Hello everyone! We're here with the lovely Jihyun who has been racking up the charts ever since she debuted slightly over a year ago. Just recently, she released her new song "Because I am the best! It's a change from your usual concepts, what made you decide to try something new?""I've always been adventurous." Jihyun started, picking her words carefully. "I didn't really enjoy sticking to the norm. I preferred trying new things and doing things my own way.""How does it feel a year later? You've released several music videos, a full length album and several mini albums and even starred in a movie with a label mate. Does it feel different than w
