Stay - Yang Jungwon 양 정원

After the announcement ended, we all quickly found our seats and hurried to decide representatives. Just like the Teamwork test we had six days. I hoped this would go a lot smoother since there were only five of us performing.

"Do we have any recommendations for representatives?" Seon asked.

I watched Jungwon raise his hand. For some reason all the boys got all giggly, "Wait— wait— let me guess Jungwon's recommendation!" Geonu said loudly, holding up his hand. Both Jungwon and I sighed, knowing where this was going. I slouched in my seat, shaking my head. "Song Chaeri!"

Jungwon put his arms into an X, "Wrong! Song Chaeri and Lee Geonu!" He said happily.

I laughed at the way Geonu immediately faltered, pointing to himself, "Eh? Me?" Was he really this shocked that Jungwon was recommending him?

"Hyung, you'd be a good vocalist representative!" Jungwon added.

Everyone looked at Geonu, expecting his answer. "Honestly..." His face broke out into a smile, "I am confident I can do well if you'll let me... I want to do it really badly," He admitted, "And I'm confident I can do great."

"Okay, so we have one vocal representative. Chae, what about you?" Sunghoon asked, looking at me. "You want to do dance right?"

I pursed my lips. "Uh..." I actually had a different idea of what I wanted to do. I know a lot of people are impressed by my dancing and my specialty was dancing. But I also really wanted to try the vocal stage. "Well— actually, I was thinking—" I hesitated. "If it's something— if you guys— I want to be a vocal representative as well," I finally said.

"That's a good idea," Jay agreed. "Chae can do everything," He said making me shake my head. But the others seemed insistent.

"She did really well at center during the first test. Her vocals are really good," Jungwon said making me smile.

"So, that's okay with everyone?" I asked, wanting to make sure that anyone else who wanted to be a vocalist had a chance.

"Wait," K looked at Heeseung, "Heeseung, don't you want to be vocal representative?"

Heeseung shrugged, "Yeah... but I think Chaeri and Geonu will do just as good on stage. So there's no need."

"So, Geonu hyung and Chae are going to be our vocal team," Jungwon said excitedly.

"Blue room~" Geonu said, pointing at me teasingly from across the room.

I looked at Jungwon, "Okay, you have to be a dance representative so we can have the whole blue room trio on stage," I said as they started talking about the dance team. "Non-negotiable."

Jungwon nodded, "I do really want to be one of the dancers."

Jay had voiced his opinion and confidence about being one of the dance representatives. Especially after Fire and coming back from the Ground, everyone could tell he was determined. "I want to recommend K hyung," Heeseung said after Jay was decided as the first representative.

Just like Jay, it was very quickly decided that K would be the second dancer. Honestly, any combination of the I-Landers would be a solid dance team. "Then, should we pick the last dance unit member?" Seon asked.

"In my opinion, we have to dance a lot of different styles," K said. "So, I immediately thought we need Jungwon."

I immediately turned to Jungwon with a knowing smile. "I told you~" I teased, nudging his arm. But something must have happened because the smile I saw a couple of seconds ago went away. Instead, he just looked really conflicted.
