Practice was generally going smoothly as we were slowly making our way through the verses with the iPad monitoring us.  I was doing my line for verse two.  When I finished, I hurried to switch spots with Jungwon according to the formation, but instead, Jungwon was just standing there and I crashed into him.  "YAH! Yang Jungwon!"

Jungwon seemed to realize it was his part, "Oh wait!  Oh no!" He sheepishly smiled at me while I just stared at him in shock.

"AH JUNGWON-AH!" Jake yelled, falling onto the floor.  "We were actually doing good!" He complained.

I crouched down and buried my face in my hands.  It probably took us a bunch of tries to get that far into the song without one of us faltering or bursting out laughing.

Taki ran up to Jungwon who was laughing and shook his shoulders, "HYUNG! WHY?"

Sunoo hurried over to the mirror where the tablet was propped up.  "Yang Jungwon, you are in trouble~" He teased. 

Jungwon's eyes widened, "Do we really have to rewatch it?" He asked as I joined Sunoo.  Sunoo scrolled to the end where Jungwon messed up.  In the video, Jungwon was spaced out while doing his dance, so when I was done with my part, he missed his cue.

"Ah, he got distracted by Chae," Heeseung hummed, watching the video.

I laughed, "What?"

Heeseung ignored my question and pointed at Jungwon accusingly, "Hey, lover boy, save it for after practice!"

We all laughed when Jungwon got to his knees and bowed to all of us, "I'm sorry!" He said quickly before Taki dragged him up.  "I won't lose focus this time, promise!"

Jake shook his head, "We're going to have to kick Chaeri out.  Have her practice on her own."

"Hey!" I pouted at Jake as he laughed, coming over to pat my head. "Just because he can't get his head together!" I said, pointing at Jungwon who was grinning at me.

"Jungwon hyung can't get his head together because you're too pretty, noona," Taki hummed.

I frowned, "Eh?  Too pretty?" I looked at myself in the mirror. "Yikes... no," I looked decent on other days usually, but not today.  My face was starting to break out more than usual today.

Jungwon waved his hand, "Let's get back to practicing.  We can just start from verse two again," He suggested to which Sunoo agreed.

The next night, I was in the purple room with my unit plus Jay and Sunghoon.  I was sitting on my bed with Jungwon, trying to explain to him the rules of volleyball.  Which was failing miserably.

Around the third time explaining the rules of rotation, Jay spoke up, "I had a lot on my mind... so little by little," We all looked at him confused when he showed us a bunch of folded-up papers, "I've been writing letters to you all."

I was the first one to speak, "You're messing with us aren't you," I said with a small laugh.  There was no way he wrote letters.  I knew that being in last place was difficult on him, but no way he was that sure he was going to get eliminated.

"You lie," Jake insisted as Jay handed one to Sunghoon.  When Jay handed letters to Jungwon and I, I realized he was really serious.  I could see the indents from the outside of the paper... he wrote quite a bit.

"Don't read it right now," Jay said looking at Sunghoon who was about to open his. "After they announce the results, read it."

"What if you don't get eliminated, though?" I asked, fidgeting with the paper in my hands.
