A couple of hours later after K had come and talked to me, I decided to finally leave my room and stretch my legs. After I took a bunch of cold medicine. I wandered around the second floor, but no one was in their rooms. I frowned to myself as I stopped by the kitchen for a snack. We usually didn't have a formal dinner, but if we did it wasn't until later most likely.

When I walked downstairs, I was confused seeing almost everyone gathered in the main practice room. I hurried down the stairs, catching some of their attention as I passed by the window. "Hello~" I cooed, opening the door.

Jungwon's head snapped toward me, "Chae!" I laughed as everyone seemed to be happy to see me. Including Jungwon who hugged me tightly. "I thought you were still sleeping, no?" Jungwon asked.

"I slept for twelve hours, it was starting to get uncomfortable at that point," I chuckled, popping a crisp in my mouth, "What are you guys doing?"

"K hyung called in a team meeting," EJ explained.

I nodded silently, wondering if this was about what K and I discussed. "Ah, I'll join you guys then."

"Feeling better?" Jay asked.

"Better. But it still hurts to talk above a whisper," I explained, setting my snack on the table. "But hopefully it should be back in a couple of days."

"You seem in a much better mood," Jungwon commented as we all sat down.

"Cause I'm high on medicine right now. Give it two hours and I'll crash again probably," I whispered, leaning on his shoulder.

Jungwon laughed, moving his arm so I was more comfortable, "Ah, okay then."

Seon cleared his throat, "So, what has just come up is... what if we change the dance representatives...?" Everyone looked at each other confused. I watched Sunghoon's expression, he had a small frown on his face but didn't look as confused as the others. K or Seon probably talked to him earlier. "There was..." He hesitated, "that we should change Jay with Sunghoon. Honestly, it's for everybody's fate. Let's figure out who will be the best and choose who would be the best dance representative. Jay will dance once and so will Sunghoon and we'll decide fairly, okay?"

We all agreed. It was really tense all around as we went around to organize the practice room a little bit to make room. "Chae, did you know about this?" Jungwon asked as we moved the mats. "Because you didn't even look surprised when Seon hyung brought this up."

I sighed, "K came in and asked me about my opinion. So I wasn't shocked. I put two and two together when I came down here," I explained, putting the mats against the far wall. I pouted as he took off his sweatshirt since he'd be dancing twice, "What's your opinion? Of this whole thing?"

Jungwon sighed, "Honestly— I'm not sure. Jay hyung is a really passionate dancer, but Sunghoon hyung does best him in some parts of the dance..."

"I'm sure either combination will be a good team," I assured him, patting his arm. "Have fun dancing," I hummed before joining Geonu and the others by the mirror.

"How was your twelve-hour nap?" Geonu asked as I sat down.

"Best sleep of my life... kind of. I still felt pretty crappy when I woke up," I explained.

Geonu chuckled, "All Jungwon did today was worry about you and practice. After his practices he'd go up to the blue room to check on you," He said making me frown. Interesting information. "He really likes you," Geonu said casually, nudging my shoulder.

I looked at him, "I know he does, he's like my best friend in this show," I said in the same tone.

"Your voice sounds funny," Geonu chuckled.
