Title: Together
Pairing: MinRi (DAVICHI: Minkyung x Haeri)
My first try on Davichi despite me loving them so much.

There are a lot of differences between being an idol and not being an idol.

For one, non-idol singers don't get as much privileges as idols do. No own waiting room, no special stages every month, no grand performances. Two, they don't sell as much as idols do. Why? Because they don't have catchy songs and fancy dance steps. They don't wear flashy clothes and do crazy hairstyles. Three, non-idol singers form a group of at most three to four members which means less the fun. And four, they can't have everything.

They get what they're given and they don't complain. It's how the music industry works. One's status in the music industry pyramid depends on one's popularity, catchy songs, popping dance steps and out of this world clothes.

Lee Haeri knows this much.

Being in a ballad duo with a girl much younger than her is not all cakes and rainbows. They work hard, they struggle and they try to keep up. It's hard and exhausting and sometimes, Haeri thinks it's utterly ridiculous.

But never has Haeri thought of quitting.

Because with the many sited differences (Advantages of being an idol) between being an idol and a non-idol singer, there is one that Haeri has to disagree with.

Contrary to popular belief, not being idol is not lonely.

At least for her.

Haeri never felt alone. Why would she when she has Kang Minkyung beside her? The younger girl, the one she spends her everyday with is also the reason why quitting has never crossed Haeri's mind. There may only be the two of them but for her, Minkyung is much more better company than a group of 5 or 10 people. She's never alone. So why would Lee Haeri even think of quitting?

They work hard together, struggle together and they keep up the industry together. They're together.

Granted, Minkyung is 5 years her junior but the younger girl is always too mature. She behaves well on performances and appearancesvand is a real professional. Minkyung is so professional about her work which is probably why Haeri cares more for her each passing day.

The sight of her junior's flawless beauty makes Haeri sigh in contentment. She sees her work hard and it pushes Haeri to work harder. She sees a smile from Minkyung and Haeri smiles brighter.

Lee Haeri hears Kang Minkyung's powerful yet soothing voice and Haeri's heart soars in warmth and delight. And Haeri knows.

They get what they're given and they don't complain, it's a basic rule in the music industry but Haeri sees it differently. She gets what she's given- blessed with (Minkyung) and she keeps it.

There are a lot of differences between being an idol and not being an idol but Haeri wouldn't trade being DAVICHI with Minkyung for anything.
