"You two will spend half of the day in the dance room with us. Yeonjun, you can do some dancing with us if you want to. Namjoon will come around half way through the day, get you two lunches, and then you'll spend the rest of the day with him in his studio." Jungkook said, turning to look at the younger two in the backseat of Taehyung's car.

"You've told us that like, eight times." Kai complained, rolling his eyes at his cousin.

Jungkook glared at Kai before turning back around in his seat. Taehyung pulled into a parking spot in the garage and pulled the keys out of the ignition.

"Before we go in, there are a few things you need to know that we haven't told you yet." Taehyung started, "Don't mention the fact that me and Jungkook are dating. It's not technically against the rules anymore, but neither of us want a lot of people to know. The more people that know, the more likely it is to get out and that would be a mess. You also can't mention the fact that we hate the rest of the dancers, that would start a bunch of drama that we don't need."

"Anything else?" Yeonjun asked.

"Don't mention the other relationships either, it's the same deal as ours." Jungkook added.

"And none of the other dancer's even know you exist, so they're reactions to seeing you will be... honestly I don't even know." Taehyung finished.

"Alright." Kai spoke.

Taehyung, Yeonjun and Jungkook got out of the car. Yeonjun got Kai's wheelchair out of the trunk for him and set it down for Kai. The youngest of the group hobbled out of the car and into the wheelchair with a sigh.

"It's only temporary. Give it a couple more months and everything should go back to normal." Jungkook affirmed, hearing Kai's sigh and sensing his apprehension towards the impending situation.

"I know. Doesn't mean I have to like it any more." Kai mumbled.

Jungkook chuckled but continued into the building with Taehyung by his side. Yeonjun pushed Kai's wheelchair behind the elder two, talking to and reassuring his best friend about the situation.

As planned, they were some of the first people to arrive at the building. The only people already there were Jin, Namjoon, Hoseok, and Yoongi. And the only reason all four of them were as early as they were is because Namjoon and Jin came together as well as Hoseok and Yoongi. Everyone was waiting in the dance room when the small group arrived.

"What are you all doing here?" Kai questioned.

"We wanted to make sure the plan for how the day would look is still the same and that everything in here is okay for you and Yeonjun." Hoseok explained.

"As long as something doesn't pop up, the plan for the day is the same." Jungkook answered.

"This room looks good. We can stay in that corner over there so we're still close to the door and out of the way." Yeonjun observed, looking at Kai for a sign of approval or agreement.

Once the younger agreed, Yeonjun pushed him further into the room. Kai looked around wistfully, no one in the room missing the expression on his face as Yeonjun pushed him into the corner. Hoseok hurriedly pulled Jungkook to the side as the youngest two got settled.

"What's up with him?" Hoseok asked.

"Leukemia messed up everything. He was planning on auditioning for a bunch of different companies when he turned 16, but when he got leukemia at 15...." Jungkook spoke, trailing off when he felt like Hoseok should be able to get the idea of what he was implying.
