~Gaeul's POV~
"SECRET.ED on standby!" The M Countdown staff called out.
"Alright, girls!" I got my members' attention. "Let's cheer!"
"Wow, it's been so long since we've done this, I almost forgot." Yoona chuckled at her forgetfulness of our cheering.
We all put our hands out on top of one another and everyone looked at me as I spoke. "I know it's been a while since we've been on that stage. We have a mix of emotions. Some are excited, some are nervous, and I'm sure we are all a little bit of both. But I know our fans loved our music video, so let's make them love our performance too. It's been way too long, let's give our fans something to have missed. SECRET.ED..."
"Fighting!" We all shouted, throwing our hands down.
The girls cheered and waited by the stage. I noticed Rin in the back, she was staring at the ground and moving more than normal.
"Why so nervous, Rin?" I asked, throwing my arm around her.
"Can you tell?" She snickered in embarrassment.
"A little." I replied. "What's on your mind?"
"Well, I just don't think I've really had 'an era' before." She explained.
I snickered. "I'm sure we all have. We just don't know it. You got this, though. Don't be worried. We've practiced long and hard for this and you know exactly what to do. Just be yourself because it's your charisma and fierce that our fans love. And that all comes natural to you, right?"
She smiled. "Right. Thanks unnie."
"Of course." I hugged her. "I'm always here."
At that moment, our name was called onto the stage. Rin took a deep breath before following our members onto the stage and I followed her, a proud smile on my face as I watched them all take their places. And of course, we performed the best we could ever do, and it was obvious Rin stole the hearts of everyone and I was only looking forward to the future.

~Yoona's POV~
We were on our way out of the studio when I noticed another group that was leaving at the same time. Although I was nervous of what could come of it, a moral part of me felt like I had to say something to them. If I didn't and my uncle found out, I wouldn't hear the end of it.
"Good performance today, TNX!" I said as we were both on our way out the door.
They heard my voice and looked over.
"Thank you, Yoona sunbaenim." TNX's leader, Taehun, said as they all bowed.
I was a little taken aback at the fact that they knew my name. I wasn't necessarily popular so it made me concerned. Did my uncle spill the beans?
"You know my name?" I asked.
"Of course." Junhyeok said. "Doesn't everyone?"
I shook my head. "The rest of my members are more popular than me."
"Oh, really?" Hyunsoo said. They all seemed surprised by that. "PSY sunbaenim is a big fan of your group and he's mentioned you as his favorite a lot."
"Oh really?" I grew embarrassed and nervous at the same time. "Well I'm a big fan of his too."
"We'll be sure to let him know that, then." Taehun said.
I just nodded, trying to keep my cool. "Well, congratulations on your debut."
"Thank you." Taehun spoke on their behalf again.
I bowed as I said goodbye and joined back up with my members who were waiting for me.
"What was that about?" Rin asked me.
"Just being friendly with my juniors." I replied.
"But why such a long conversation." Rin scoffed, finding it odd.
I thought about what to say without making it look so suspicious.
"Unnie." Mini suddenly spoke to Rin. "They're the winners of LOUD."
"Oh~" Rin suddenly seemed to understand. "That makes sense why you wanted to talk to them then."
"Yeah." I snickered. "You know me and how much I'm a fan of PSY and JYP."
"Yes we do." AJ chimed in, almost sounding annoyed. "Otherwise you wouldn't know every single one of their dances."
"Be quiet!" I shouted.
My members all laughed at me and we made it back to the car with what seemed without a trace of my relationship to PSY. I was relieved to know nobody knew I was his niece but to know his idols know he's a fan of mine made me nervous. It was something I would need to discuss with my uncle.

~AJ's POV~
My members and I came down off the stage only to be congratulated by a single person. As the last one to leave the stage, I noticed the person last.
"Nayeon sunbaenim?" I spoke.
"Hello AJ." She greeted with a smile.
"Where's the rest of your members?" I asked, hoping to say hi to my friends from TWICE.
"At home." She snickered.
That's when it finally hit me. "Oh my god! You had your solo debut, didn't you?!"
"Yes." She giggled.
"That's right!" I exclaimed. "Congratulations!"
"Thanks." She muttered. "It's a little nervewracking though, not having any of my members on stage with me."
Her nerves touched my heart and it made me feel for her.
"Don't worry." I flashed a heartwarming smile. "You got this. I know everyone loves your song and I haven't even listened to it yet."
Nayeon snickered. "Thanks."
At that moment, Nayeon was called on stage.
"Fighting!" I cheered her on.
She smiled and did the fighting fist back before heading on stage. I watched from the stage as best as I could until we were told to go back to the dressing room. Although I wasn't close to Nayeon as I was some of the other TWICE members, I hoped my friendly cheer was enough to give her the confidence boost she needed.
~Authors Note~
