The 13 Leaders

Fifteen

"Please welcome NCT to the stage, with Go!" Eric said as 7 of the youngest members made their way onto the stage.

"They have so much energy." Dino said watching them preform the chorus. "And Jisung is such a good dancer as a freshman." He added.

"Jaemin's voice is insane." Seungkwan said watching the screen intensely. "All their voices are so good. Expected from SM." Seungkwan said.

"Should we be nervous for the battle? Because our song doesn't stand a chance if they preform like this." Mingyu said.

"Don't worry we got this!" Dk said as they watched the prechorus on the screen. "Okay now THAT'S a highnote." Dk said watching Haechan.

After NCT was Ikon.

"Give it up for IKON, with Killing Me!" Eric said.

"I'm looking forward to this!" Woozi said excitedly, he's grown a liking towards Ikon since the opening stage.

"They're so cool." Seungcheol said once the song finished as they all stood up to applaud. They would make sure to congratulate the 7 of them once they see Ikon again.

"Next up, please welcome STRAY KIDS with Side Effects!" Eric said as the crowd cheered again.

(Okay... so this perfomance does have Woojin in it. I would have found one with just Ot8, but... Felix in this performance, you'll see why I picked it.)

When Felix lifted his shirt up, you could hear EVERYONE loose their shit. "Oh my god. Why didn't we do something like that?!" Hoshi asked Seungcheol.

"Well why don't you grow a 6 pack then we can use yours." Wonwoo joked as he patted the youngers shoulder.

While the 8 boys made their way off the stage, accepting the congratulations from the remaining teams in the backstage.

"That was a crazy song. I liked it." Vernon said as they watched Eric walk onto the stage to announce the next performance.

"Ooh is Ateez up next?" Seungkwan asked digging through his bag for a bag of kettle corn he bought on his way up here this morning.

"Now, give it up for ATEEZ with Say My Name!" Eric said as he quickly walked off the stage, smoke filling the floor as the 8 walked onto the stage.

"The fashion totally adds to it." Jun agreed as they watched the 8 boys begin. "They're energy levels are through the roof." Chan added.

"I already like this song. Mingi is a good rapper!" Jeonghan said, all their eyes fixated on the TV screen infront of them.

They all cheered when the chorus hit, and they could hear the crowd and even the performers back stage cheer.

"How do they even come up with this?" Joshua asked in shock as they all shushed him, because Hongjoong started rapping.

The rest of the perfomance they were silent, other than the occasional cheers. The end chorus was outstanding and everyone seemed to agree.
