Yeji was currently, waiting for Chaeryeong at the entrance of the school. It was Wednesday, and they only had two days left before it was the deadline for the talent show.

She waited until she saw her arrive with Felix and Minho. "Hey, guys!" She said waving to them, as they got closer. "Hey, what's up?" Felix asked. "Nothing much, just, can I borrow Chaeryeong?" Yeji said, reaching for Chaeryeong's arm.

"Uh, sure," Minho said, finding it weird that Yeji wanted to see her. "Thanks," Yeji said running away with her. Chaeryeong was confused about why Yeji wanted to see her.

Yeji stopped at a private area, letting Chaeryeong go. "So, did you need something?" Chaeryeong asked. "Yeah, I wanted to know if you'd like to join the talent show with us," Yeji said, smiling brightly.

"Who's we?" Chaeryeong asked. "Oh, me, Ryujin, and Lia." She said, making Chaeryeong shocked. "Ryujin? Aren't you guys mortal enemies?" She asked. "Well, we made up," Yeji said. "Oh, okay, but doing what?"

"Dancing," Yeji said. Chaeryeong started laughing. "That's funny...." Yeji kept her face serious. "Oh, you're serious," Chaeryeong said, her laughs dying down. If it's dancing then no." Chaeryeong said walking away, but being brought back from Yeji.

"Come on! Ryujin told me you're an incredible dancer!" Yeji said, whining. "She did?" Chaeryeong questioned, surprised. "Yes! Give us a chance! Please!" Yeji said, desperate.

The bell rang, meaning it was time for class. "At least think about it," Yeji said, slowly walking away, still looking at Chaeryeong. "I'll think about it," Chaeryeong said, making Yeji smile, as she walked away.

Oh, god...

Seungmin was walking down the hall when he found Lia. He thought this would be a good opportunity to talk to her since they haven't talked since the party.

"Hey, Lia," Seungmin said approaching her. "Oh, hey," Lia said, awkwardly. "So, it's been a while..." Seungmin said. "It has. Ever since the party." Lia said. "We never got to talk about it since you left.."

Lia sighed. "If you think I'm mad at you, I'm not. I had time to think over it, and I get it. You wanted to surprise us. I've just been busy and hadn't had time to talk to you." Lia said, making Seungmin sigh out of relief.

"Thank god!" Seungmin said hugging Lia immediately after. "I thought you were mad at me," Seungmin said, while Lia laughed. "I was but because you didn't tell me but I got over it," Lia said, hugging back.

"I missed you," Seungmin said. Lia was surprised. Did I make that big of an impact? "I did too," Lia said smiling.

"You're introducing me to the whole band one day," Lia said pointing her finger. "Definitely," Seungmin said as he took Lia's arm. "What do you think about the band?" He asked as they walked down the hall.

"It's good. I forgot how good of a singer you were." Lia said. "Thanks." He said. "Are you guys doing the talent show?" She asked. "Yeah." He said. "Cool. So are we." Lia said.

"Who's we?" Seungmin asked, making Lia panic. Damn it. It's supposed to be a secret. "You'll find out, soon," Lia said, playing it off. "Oh come on, you have to tell me. I'm curious." Lia smirked. "Consider this payback for not telling me." Seungmin scoffed.

"Fine." He said laughing, making Lia laugh as well and sigh out of relief.

"Jisung," Minho said, as the younger was sitting at the piano. "Yes?" He asked, looking up.

It was lunchtime and Jisung left to the music room, knowing there'd be no one there. He wasn't expecting Minho to follow him there.
