After weeks of non stops rehearsing, traveling around Seoul for photoshoots, dropping multiple teasers, and having a million recording sessions, it's finally time for you and Itzy's new album to drop. You and the members are all crowded around on the practice room floor, sweating, and watching a countdown on YouTube for "Not Shy"s MV.

You and the members weren't planning on taking y'all's eyes off the laptop until the MV dropped. The countdown starts from ten and you all smile like idiots while looking at the laptop like a bunch of kids watching their favorite tv show.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" You and the members count down

"Not Shy" starts to play on the laptop and you all get up an run around the practice room happily, screams escaping y'all's lips.

"Not Shys out! Not Shys out!! Not Shys out!!!" Yuna exclaims happily, while jumping about.

"Y/N this is your first comeback!" Yeji exclaims, while running up to you and spinning around.

"I know, this is so exciting!" You exclaim, SS you wrap your arms around her.

"This album is gonna be a hit. I have a really good feeling." Lia says, while carefully picking the laptop off the floor and setting it on the table nearby.

You all continue to run around the practice room and scream but quickly stop when y'all hear the door open. You and the members turn around and see y'all's manager walk in with a big smile on his lips.

"The album is out.. Y'all know what that means~?" Y'all's manager asks, while shutting the door behind him, his iPad tucked under his arm.

"Promotions!!" You all exclaim, with excited jumps.

"That's right! Y'all's stages will be starting next week!" Y'all's manager announces, while giving a few claps. "But until then, y'all can calm down on rehearsals and just take a break until we officially start promotions."

"I can finally get in my hours of sleep!" Yeji says, with an exaggerated sigh as she leans against you and the rest of the members.

"Yes, y'all get plenty of rest. You're gonna need it. See y'all next week!" Y'all's manager exclaims, before waving goodbye to y'all.

"Bye!!" You all yell, while waving goodbye.

Y'all watch him leave and continue to run around happily and mess with each other in the practice room the second the door closes.

"Today, we have turned on V-Live to talk with you guys." Mingi says, while reading comments from the live, a little smile forming on his lips.

"We wanted to see Atiny today so we're here now." San adds, while waving his hands towards the phone with a smile.

"We wanted to hang out and check up on y'all. You know.. See how y'all are holding up." Mingi says, while down looking at the phone in his hand.

As Mingi starts to read through the live comments, San starts doing poses in front of the camera for screen shot purposes, only earning a few looks of concern from Mingi. He ends up shaking his head in disappointment and looks back down at his phone. When Mingi sees a certain comment, he smiles mischievously and glances up at San who's in his own world.

"Oh!" Mingi exclaims, earning a glance from San due to the sudden yell. "Have y'all heard Itzy's new song yet?"

San freezes for a few seconds before looking back at Mingi who's smiling widely at him from the spot next to him on the bed. Mingi tilts his head to the slide and rests his arms behind him and takes in the slowly panicking San next to him.

"We have actually." Mingi replies, while raising his eyebrows for a quick second.

"Mingi." San says, while sending the older a warning glare, a nervous smile overtaking his features.

"However... THIS boy right here..." Mingi starts, completely ignoring the glare San gave him.

"Mm-hmm." San hums in response, while glancing back at the phone in front of them

"He's been listening to the album on repeat ever since it dropped." Mingi says, with a cheeky smile plastered on his lips.

"Oohh!" San exclaims, while pointing his finger at Mingi repeatedly. "You are dead to me if you say anything else."

"One of the members, or rather... Y/N, has..."  Mingi starts, while leaning closer to San.

"Boy if you don't-" San starts, while leaning back away from the younger.

Mingi quickly pokes San a few times to make him lose his composure before pushing him back down onto the bed. He yelps as Mingi starts to playfully bite the top of his head and shoulders. Little screams and giggles escape San's lips as he tries to push Mingi off of him.

"Mingi! Stop it!" San yells, as he sinks into the mattress, giggles pouring out of him.

Mingi stops and pulls a giggly San back up so the fans could see the two more clearly. He sits back down on the bed and smiles innocently at the camera as San looks over at him, clearly flustered.

"Y'all get the idea right?" Mingi asks, with a smile.

"He's gonna call me out!" San exclaims, with a little laugh. Mingi tries to say something but ends up laughing with San instead.

"It's not my fault that it's fun to mess with you! Especially about stuff like this!" Mingi defends, as he points a single finger towards the older.

"Y'all heard nothing! Nothing to see OR hear here!" San exclaims, while waving his hands in front of the phone frantically.

"It'd be cute if she was watching the live and saw this though." Mingi says, while looking over at San, his eyebrows wiggling playing.

San quickly zips his hoodie up to cover his face as he starts to blush uncontrollably. Mingi chuckles at him and tends back to the live so San can get himself together and finish the live with him.
