Only One of Us

Planning

As Mill and Junji walked downstairs to get the group banana milk, they stumbled into a hallway that was unfamiliar to them.

"Junji, where are we?" Mill questioned, looking around.

Junji just shrugged.

Mill approached someone nearby to get directions. "Hi, we're lost on the second floor and we're wondering where the vending machine for banana and chocolate milk is," Mill explained to the stranger. He turned to meet a bright crimson-haired boy. Recognizing the other person, his eyes widened.

"Hey, Junji! What the heck?! I haven't seen you in so long!" the male exclaimed.

"Rie?!" Junji responded in amazement.

They embraced and caught up on every little moment since they'd last seen each other. Mill wished they could have just gotten the milk so the two others wouldn't have to wait outside for so long.

Soon, Rie walked with Junji to the vending machine for the drinks they needed. Mill thanked him and made his way to the stairs, but Junji stopped in his tracks and turned on his heels.

"Hey Rie, wanna hang out with my friends? They'd love to get to know you and see your dancing," Junji asked. Rie gave a dimpled smile and walked with the two. As the three made their way towards the door, Mill struggled to hold all the drinks, and at that moment, Jeon Somi and her bestie, Kang Seulgi, intentionally bumped into him, causing the drinks to come crashing down.

Mill frowned, picking up the spilled drinks and throwing them away. He glared at the giggling duo behind him. Just then, someone with blond hair and a leather jacket handed him a paper bag.

It seemed a bit too suspicious, but the stranger spoke. "It's for you and your friends... the banana and chocolate milk," he stated.

Mill looked up with sparkles in his eyes, then looked at the drinks. "Thank you so m-" Mill turned around, but the stranger was gone. The four others caught up with him. "Here, hope it's tasty," Mill offered.

"Uhm, no," Yoojung refused.

Nine scoffed and took the bag. "Come and get it, losers!" Nine teased as the others ran up to him.

Junji and Rie walked together, talking along the way, while Mill looked back to see if the generous stranger was still there. He was met with an empty path. Soon he caught up with the others and they made their way to their designated places.

Yoojung and Nine learned of Rie's talents, and Nine quickly formed an idea. "That's it! We're going to make a song tomorrow and you two are going to dance to it!" he exclaimed.

The three dancers cheered and toasted their drinks together in a ceremonious way. "Guys, look!" Mill walked up to them with his phone. It was a notification that their account was growing again. Now they really needed to start that song.

Looking at all those comments, Rie and Yoojung were dumbfounded. "You guys are famous!" Yoojung cheered in awe.

The trio awkwardly laughed. I mean, he wasn't wrong.

Now Nine just had to find a song for them to sing. And dance. He groaned. He just couldn't do this alone, so he called Lia, who didn't pick up. Then he called Mill, who was busy. He tried Junji, but he was occupied as well. He tried texting Yoojung, but got no response.

"If only time worked on my side," he murmured. "Or maybe I could go through time just to get a song down."

He surfed YouTube for some videos to take his mind off of it all. He watched a video full of songs with one word in it: 'Time.' "Meh, other songs would do better. Maybe a solo? Ooh, they could do that new song from Hoshi!" He thought long and hard. "And we all can just remix it?" Nine pondered. He shook his head, thinking nothing of it. "This song would be great. Now they surely need to do it."
