I finished changing as the last one, before joining everyone else in the common area, quickly fixing my red blazer as I walked out there.

"Wah! Noona looks the best!" Daniel loudly exclaimed, making me grin and shoot finger guns at him, which just made him happily laugh at me.

"That's right!" I cooed at him before walking over and joining the other boys.

"I thought you weren't supposed to wear it closed?" Jake frowned at me.

"Ah, it's because if I let it be open right now, everyone in here would feel ashamed," I excused to him.

"Wha- is it cropped?" he widened his eyes and pointed to the blackshirt I wore underneath.

"Maybe," I hesitantly replied.

"Open it," he stated making me frown at him.

"What in the... you pervert!" I exclaimed at him, before his eyes nearly bulged out of his head.

"Okay... no. No, that's not what I meant by it," he quickly clarified to everyone who just stared at him with equally as big eyes as me, "I just... I'm not getting out of this am I?"

"I'm afraid not hyung," Jungwon simply shook his head at him, "said is said. Your first truly embarrassing moment has dawned upon you."

"Look, I appreciate our friendship and all, but I'm not taking off my clothes," I quickly pointed out with a small laugh to him.

"Are you embarrassed?" Jay questioned me in amusement.

"Okay, for quick and irrellevant TMI. No," I shook my head at him, "I've performed in a bra before, and I did not mind. I'm doing this for your sake," I pointed to my closed blazer.

"What's the worst that could happen?" he questioned with a small smile.

"That I'm more trained than you actually think," I bluntly replied, "or at least turning Sunghoon into a tomato, but that's for another day."

"Are you ripped or what noona?" Daniel questioned making me let out a laugh at him.

"Not exactly," I shook my head at him, "but probably more than you expect."

"Well, that's obvious if you've been used to do various acrobatics in the air," Jake shrugged at me.

"I-Landers move to Lobby."

I quickly followed the boys downstairs where we all stood waiting patiently to hear who would go up on stage first.

"Flicker unit to stage."

I sighed before walking up to the egg with the other boys, before hesitantly unbuttoning my blazer and draping my hair over my shoulders, and let it fall down my back. As I entered the egg I turned around and happily waved at the 'Dive Into You' boys as it began turning.

"Holy shi-" Jay started off, making me quickly yell out to him.

"Kids are present!" I screeched at him, making him immediately shut up and place a hand over his mouth.

I sighed before turning back around to face the stage we soon would walk out on.

"Look, I took you seriously when you said you probably were a bit more trained than we thought but..." Jake trailed off as the boys all stared at the small part of my stomach that was revealed, making me quickly cover it with my arms.

"Could you stop?" I complained to them.

"She's even more trained than Sunghoon-ie hyung," Jungwon commented before looking over at Sunghoon, "how does it feel to know the girl you're fancying is more ripped than you?"

"It's just because I lost a lot of body fat whilst here," I excused and waved it off, "the moment I'm out of here, it becomes less toned. Who knows... I might suddenly gain a lot of global votes after tonight."

"Yeah... no... close it again," Sunghoon stated, making the other boys snicker.

"No," I simply shook my head as the egg finished turning and we all walked out together.

We all happily introduced ourselves before performing the song, as we had practiced it. At the end I was quite satisfied at how I had done. I might not be the best in the group, but I felt that I had improved just a bit. I silently stood and listened to everyone get their feedback.

"Edin-ah," Sungdeuk spoke up and I looked up at him, "you were fine."

"Thank you," I bowed my head at him.

"I think I've figured you out, actually," Shihyuk pointed out as he lifted his microphone, "you might not be the best dancer. But you've somehow managed to blend in at all performances, so that you don't actually see how you're lacking in terms of dance skills. You are indeed a performer, you just do it best in vocals and facial expressions."

"Thank you," I bowed once more before we were sent off stage and I quickly buttoned up my blazer once more as we returned back to I-Land.

At the end of the night Jake had been chosen to get the advantage of getting his global votes doubled for 24 hours. A major jump ahead if you think about how much it could help him, if he got a lot of votes within 24 hours.

So the night actually ended well. We would first have an elimination halfway through next week, so everyone could stay just a little longer.
