Damn. Talk about disaster on stage. What just happened was not was I expected, of all the people, that was not the Han Cheol I know. It wa as if he was learning the choreography of their performance today on stage because he was confused from the beginning to the end. It was a disaster.

"Damn, those idiots." That was Cheol cursing the teammates . I guess he was so disappointing. Now just after leaving the stage, he came straight to where we were waiting our turn we had been slotted to perform last, contrary to what we thought that we will be the first ones. We knew that the red team had a personal vendetta with us thus they would slot us first, but it was the white team that were first on stage. The Red team itself slotted themselves second last, before us.

Now I have this guy that is so disappointed by the mess the team made. I think they changed the choreography without his knowledge and yet he is the group leader.
" What was that dude. Like seriously, it was as if you were learning the songs today." I asked. I just had to, really.
" The idiots changed the initial plan to what they felt like, damn , they have really pissed me off. I guess it was because I told them to practise non stop yesterday while I came to check your practise." He said as he laid on the sofa.
" I guess it is what is called karma coming back to bite you on your ass. Remember making fun of my dance. I think I should treat your teammate to some cup Noodles." I said as I laughed.
" Hey Cheol, what happend on stage. Like seriously, if you were sick, why did you have to go on stage in the first place, seriously." Little Cai said and then busted out laughing at him.
" True... And even if you are not sick, you could have just faked it. It could have been much better." Eugene said
" The guy made fun of my dance so I think this is karma at its best." I said as I moved away from him, just incase he gets ideas of hitting me.
" I expected that you will be slotted first with the way the red team were determined to challenge you, I thought they will let you open the stage."Cheol said after a long silence.
" We are also shocked but I don't understand why they have slotted us last. To say the truth, we wanted the last slot." Korn said.
" But we are following them so I am not ok with it why lie!" I said.
" Maybe they wanted to shock you. What song are they performing again?" Cheol asked.
" I really don't know but I really am not scared at all. In fact I am at peace. Your hwaiteu team was the only threat to us but with the gifted mess up you made on stage, we have this competition in our bag of endless victories." Tem said.
" Like seriously Tem, how can you blast me that way. You don't pity your Nong." Cheol said while pouting
" You are lucky that it was Tem who said it, if it came from Lensah or Cai, I think you will be crying here so you should be giving him like three powerful WAIS.. and saying a lot of SADHU for his merciful words." Korn said which made us burst of laughing. Cheol found himself laughing by force.
" I guess I made a good decision to come hung out here with you guys. You have just lifted my mood. By the way, why aren't you dressed up yet." He asked which made us look at each other before again all of us looking at him, " Sorry, stupid question. Can I remain here when you go to perform. I don't feel like facing those idiots in my team. I think I will even stop being their leader now that they can make decisions on their own."
"Lensah, will you talk to your beshtie..I heard that you call each other that, or can I do the honours, promise to be as merciless as I can." Little Cai asked looking at me as if begging me to just agree for him to destroy the little ego my boy Cheol had left.
" No my beloved son, he is my beshtie, I will handle him." I said and then we left the room to take a walk. I knew that we had a long time to wait being that the forth team was on stage. It has always been my tradition not to watch the performance of the competition but being that the white team was our threat, I sat and saw but now, I think, I will not try it again. As we passed the other contestants who were busy chatting away, I was that this time round, they put the names of the performance out so that even the competitors will be able to know. They even added the names of the songs to be performed.

" Now beshtie, what makes you that angry, your team did something wrong, I am not defending them but why do you think they went to that extreme? Have you tried like asking yourself that. They knew they are jepotizing their performance but we're you availing yourself as a leader to hear their opinions or you thought that you were the final say in the performance. I had a leader like that so I can here where they are coming from. I acknowledge that your teammates love you so much but you are taking advantage. We have been walking all this while I have not seen any of them out here. I know that they are really feeling bad about what happened. You hanging out with my team I'd not bad but you need to be with them. Talk to them. Assure them that you are angry but you are not that sad to stop being their leader. Talk out your feelings with them and see what happens. I am not chasing you away, but your team needs you more now. I know that even without being among the audience, I believe you are cheering me on. So let me take you to your members and then I go and change. I believe the green team is about to go on stage." I said as we reached the white team studio, opened the team," hi guys, here is your lost teammate. Tie him with a rope on the foot or something. Apparently, he was wondering here and there, don't worry, he is fine though he was crying so much. Please take care of him well or else I will steal him from you people. Bye beshtie..." And with that I left them to iron their team issues.

I wanted to watch the performance of the Orange team being that the girls were dancing WORK by CIARA. I was lucky that they were about to enter when I reached our waiting area.

" Why are you back so fast." Eugene asked when he noticed that I wa eagerly watching the screen unlike what I do normally.

" Sshhhhhh, I want to see how these Orange team girls are going to perform." I said as I even snatched the remote from Tem.

" Like seriously Lensah,they are not that great,trust me....." Korn said before I hit him using the remote.

" Shut it P', there is something I want to see." I said. That made all of them shut up and watch the performance with me.

" You guys, I have an idea that will make the Orange team loose to us. Their performance was spectacular, so much that if we go with our original version they will defeat us pants down. Our plan is not bad but but why don't we merge the song in a strategic way much that the song will be as if we are telling a story using two songs. The Orange team, if you noticed mashed up the song but their were clear demarcations, so clear that you can see that this is the part of the girls and this for boys. The other teams did the same thing. I don't know about the remaining ones but the Orange team's creativity is just mind blowing. Let's level up and show off what we can do." I said after the Orange team had finished their performance which was well appreciated.

The boy accepted the last minute changes though it was a risky venture. Being that there was not that big difference, what we were aiming was to make the whole thing as interesting as we could.
