"Fancy meeting you here." Felix chirps as Chan motions for me to sit down next to him.

"Did you guys already finish?" JiSung asks as he sits next to MinHo.

"Us? Finish choreographing a song in an hour? Yeah—if that happens it'll be a dream come true. It was a lot of bickering. HyunJin ran off half way through. I haven't seen him since." MinHo chuckles as he looks everywhere—except at HyunJin directly across from him.

"You did say you were hungry. Maybe he went to put himself in the air fryer for you." Felix joins in on the teasing as HyunJin rolls his eyes and takes a bite of his food.

"Is this a reunion?" SeungMin questions as he and JeongIn make their way towards us.

"Not quite—we're still missing the one and only Dwaekki." Chan mumbles before starting to eat.

"You know what I just realized?" Felix turns toward MinHo with wide eyes.

"Huh?" MinHo groans as he sets his fork down to give Felix his full attention mockingly.

"I forgot the brownies in the practice room." Felix hops up onto his feet and waddles away to go collect his delicious treats.

"That kid has been going on and on about those things since we got here—and he forgot them in the damn practice room." MinHo rolls his eyes as he turns back toward his food.

"He'll be back and disappointed." HyunJin chuckles as he lifts up the container of brownies. He sets them in the center of the table.

"He's going to be freaking out when he gets back. It'll take him a good five minutes before he notices them." JiSung chuckles as he reaches out to grab the container. He opens it and places a brownie on my napkin. He smiles before grabbing one for himself.

"They're good though." Chan tugs the container open to grab one for himself.

"They really are. There may not be any left when he gets back." SeungMin shakes his head as he lifts the lid to look in at the remaining treats.

"Who did it?" Felix groans as he falls back down in his seat. He glares at MinHo then HyunJin.

"I would've left them." MinHo shrugs as he takes a sip of his water.

"Rude." Felix pouts as he reaches out to grab the container. He opens it and looks toward the others.

"JiSung opened it. He took one and gave Rain one. Then Chan took one. I feel like HyunJin ate half of them before he showed us he had them." JeongIn tattles as he smiles playfully.

"I don't care who ate them—just so I get one." Felix reassures us as he reaches in to grab one for himself. He takes a bite of it before smiling brightly.

I pick up the brownie and lift it to my mouth. I've only heard about how amazing his desserts are. I've never actually had the chance to eat one. My eyes light up as I take a bite. It's amazing. It tastes like heaven.

"Isn't that—why's she with them?" A few of the other trainees whisper amongst themselves as they slip passed us. I do my best to keep my head down.

"Do you know them?" Chan asks as he turns around to see who it was.

"I mean—yeah—but not well." I mumble as I rub at my arm. I swallow hard as I try to push the memories I have with them aside.

"Are they mean to you?" MinHo questions as he turns toward me confused.
