Sunghoon's POV

I'm already at the studio of Music Bank, getting ready for my MCing while revising my scripts.
"Hey Sunghoon-ssi, congrats for your comeback!" Wonyoung said to me. "Thank you, sunbaenim"
We weren't close yet so we're still using formal terms.
After filming my parts as mc the boys arrived as well and they got ready.
"Jay, you're done with your makeup?"

"Yup, I was about to go get our drinks from manager hyung"
"I'll go with you"
"Sure"
We went to the room next to the makeup room and sat to drink our orders.
"Spill the tea" Jay suddenly said.
"Hm? What are you talking about?"
"I know something is up inside your little brain"
"Yah! Little brain my ass"

"No but seriously, is there something you wanna talk about?"
"Well... Actually yeah" I said letting a sigh.
"Don't tell anyone about this ok? Only Jake knows about this"
"Sure, go on"
"I think I like Jinhee..."
"Saw this coming" He said sipping on his coffee "And?..."
"Thing is, she told me that also that Kyungjun dude likes her. He clearly has more chances than me"

"I feel like punching you, bro. Like, are you even hearing yourself right now?"
"Jake said the same thing the other night"
"Sunghoon, if you like like her why don't you just tell her?"
"Easier said than done. Plus, she's probably thinking a lot now that Kyungjun confessed to her. I don't want to mess her mind further"

"Bro, I'm telling you, you should risk it all now. Cuz what if you give up already and she ends up with that dude. You would lose your chance and you'll regret not trying"
"Ugh I don't know Jay... Also, we're idols, it's not that easy"
"Imma say this again. Give it a try. Look where it took me, yes she's a trainee and I'm an idol but things are working. Why? Cuz I tried and you were one of the first to tell me that"

Jinhee's POV

Finally, Friday! End of the week! No school and no academy. After washing up and having dinner with my mom, I chilled in my room catching up with the content I missed the whole week. While I was watching today's MuBank replay, I saw how Sunghoon praised his own visuals since he was the ending fairy for both performances and I don't know if it was in the script or no but decided to tease him about it as a little payback.
