"THE GIRLS ARRIVED!"

"THEY ARRIVED?! OH MY GOD, OUR SISTERS ARE HERE!" Beomgyu immediatly exclaimed after he saw them coming in through the large doors of the hall, before Huening Kai gulped nervously.

"But Ryujin isn't here yet Taehyun..."

"I know Hyuka, I texted her, we have to keep Lia occupied for some time."

"What do you mean?" Yeonjun questioned quietly, as the girls came closer and closer.

"We have to keep her away from the stage and the front door."

The other four nodded, before Soobin stepped forward, fixing his suit.

"Yooo, y'all look amazing!"

"Yeah, like seriously, it makes me kind of sad that we all just look the same kind of boring and average." Yeonjun added, and that statement was kind of understandable, considering the fact that they were all wearing the same suits.

"Well, but it suits all of you incredibly well." Yuna stated, before she saw how Taehyun was shooting some glares over to Soobin, who was nodding.

"Sooo... Lia, you wanna get some punch and talk? I wanted to talk to you anyways."

He didn't even know what he was supposed to talk about, but figured he would think of something while they were walking there.

"Oh, okay..."

"It's nothing bad, don't worry. Let's just go, it will probably take a bit longer."

He suddenly gently grabbed her wrist and took her with him, and when they were gone, yet another discussion started immediatly as Taehyun started explaining.

"Okay, so Ryujin isn't here yet."

"She's not?!" Chaeryeong exclaimed while crossing her arms.

"BUT I texted her and she will get here in a few minutes. She will come in through the front door, make her way through the crowd quietly and go to the stage. We just have to do everything in our power to keep Lia away from her, if she sees her, the whole surprise is ruined."

"She looks so sad... Can't we just tell her that she's coming?" Hyuka was looking over to her and Soobin with a small pout, before Yuna also crossed her arms, sighing, looking over to him.

"Kai... Do you want me to slap you now or later?"

"Easy Yuna, he's just worried about her." Yeonjun softly scolded, until Yeji spoke up again.

"So, I would suggest that me and Yeonjun wait for her at the front door, Taehyun,  Beomgyu Chaeryeong guide her through the crowd and Yuna, Kai and Soobin try to keep her busy. Any other ideas?"

Everyone nodded, and with that, the plan was about to start.

"Sooo... You wanted to talk?"

"Yeah, uhm... Is it okay to mention Ryujin right now?"

"Sure, it's okay... It's not like it's her fault she isn't here."

"True, I just... wanted to ask how you're handling all of this."

"The hate she's getting or the fact that she isn't here?"

"...Both?"

Lia chuckled quietly, probably to cover up her actual sadness, before taking a sip from her drink and looking at Soobin.

"I hate both of it. I know that the hate will go away eventually, but it sucks that it affects her so much. I can understand it of course, but... All of the hate is just making me mad. For the prom part, it's a once in a life time thing, and knowing that she isn't here just makes me sad."
