5wirl +lumine react to the how long m/v

In one swift motion, Lumine scoops her bag up and off the floor and opens the door to the hallway outside the practice room. 

"Elora?" She asks, confused as to why the brunette is outside the door.

"Lumine! Are you planning to leave soon?" Elora questions, sounding quite out of breath.

"i guess so, but is there something wrong?"

"nothing wrong! i just completely forgot to tell you something earlier," 

Lumine opens the door completely, letting Elora enter the practice room. As soon as she walks in, she slumps onto the floor.

"did you run all the way downstairs?" She laughs, handing Elora her water bottle.

Elora nods furiously, downing the leftover water in the bottle. She wipes the water dripping down her chin with the back of her hand.

"phew.. I feel better now," Elora sighs, resting her head against the wall.

"so, what do you need to tell me?" Lumine asks, tucking the empty bottle away in her bag.

"right! about that; you need to go to 5wirls dorm to film a reaction video with them," As soon as the word '5wirl' rolls out of Elora's mouth, Lumine perks up.

"do i get to see Venti?" She questions, intrigued.

"yes yes," Elora laughs, seeing Lumine's excited expression.

"you guys need to collectively react to the 'how long' music video. easy, isn't it?"

"shouldn't be too hard,"

What Lumine did not quite know yet was that this would not go according to plan.

at all.

---

Lumine hops out of her car, shutting the door behind her. A familiar feeling washes over her as  she walks up the steps and rings the doorbell in front of her. Her heart pounds faster in her chest.

She can hear the light stamping of footsteps coming from the other side of the door. The door swings open from the other side. Lumine is welcomed by Venti's bright face, smiling back at her. He scoops her up in a hug, burying his face in her shoulder.

"i missed you lumii," He mumbles, hugging her tightly. She laughs, feeling calmer in his warm embrace.

"i missed you more," Lumine sinks into his arms, having no intention of letting him go any time soon.

"uhh hello?? you cant make me feel single right now. i already get enough of that from Xiao and Aether," Heizou stands behind Venti, rolling his eyes.

"you're not single though," Venti turns around, glaring at him.

"well- ugh technically I still am," He crosses his arms and pouts.

"alright alright, stop being dramatic, let's get inside," Xiao walks in Heizou's direction, turning him around and pushing him into the living room.

"we're filming in the living room!" Venti grabs Lumine's hand, following Xiao and Heizou. 

In the room, Kazuha stands near the couch, fluffing up the pillows. He gives Lumine a welcoming smile.

"wheres Aether?" Lumine asks, noticing her brother's absence from the room.

"He's upstairs, he'll be down in a bit." Xiao explains.

"okay, so, Lumine and Venti can sit in the middle, since we're reacting to their music video, we'll sit around them, the computer can go on the table, and the tripod can go next to the computer," Kazuha announces, nodding to himself.

They all take their seats on the couch, and Aether rushes into the room.

"Sorry i'm late! let's start!" He hurries over to the couch, and seats himself next to Xiao.

"Wait, so we all say hi, and then who's going to introduce us?" Xiao questions

"uhhhh, i think Venti could introduce us, and then Lumine could say what we're going to react to?" Heizou suggests

Kazuha nods, and reaches for the camera, clicking a button.

"Get in your places!"

The camera counts down from 10, and when it gets to 0, the six of them smile at the camera.

"Hii! We're 5wirl, and we have Lumine with us today!" Venti motions to Lumine, who waves at the camera.

"Today we will all be reacting to the how long music video from our album, up all night." She explains, still smiling.

Kazuha, who is closest to the computer, presses a button, causing the video to play.

(italics are describing what is going on in the music video, while regular writing is just the story)

Lumine sits on the bed, facing away from Venti, who walks into the room. The camera pans from him to Lumine as the words 'How Long' flash onto the screen. As he tries to sit on the bed next to her, she keeps scooting away, until he finally grabs her hand, which she shakes off, and moves further away from him. She then proceeds to stand up, which Venti follows, until he grabs her hand, and pins her against a wall.

"I like the atmosphere of the room, and who knew Venti could act so well?" Kazuha points out. The rest nod and hum in agreement. Aether's eye twitches slightly.

She tries to walk away, but she clearly isn't able to due to Venti's strong grip on her.  He firmly puts her back against the wall, but the impact of it causes his already loose shirt to slide down his right arm. She places her hand over his exposed shoulder, as his hands go down to her waist. The camera zooms into Lumine's eyes, and then Venti's.

Venti laughs nervously as his eyes dart to Aether, who's practically shaking in anger. Sensing that he was about to get murdered, Venti gets up and scoots away from sofa, anxiously smiling at him.

Aether picks up a pillow from behind him, and runs up to Venti, repeatedly smacking him with the pillow.

"THATS. MY. SISTER. YOU. FUCKING-" He yells, still smacking him with the pillow. Venti squeals and runs off in the direction of the kitchen, his screams echoing through the hall. The rest of them sit there, blankly staring at the camera, and processing what had just happened.

"sooo, are we gonna help him or-?" Heizou questions, smiling awkwardly at the camera.

"fuck no, this is what he gets for making me do the dishes when it was his turn," Xiao replies smugly, crossing his legs and folding his hands.

Meanwhile, Venti is still desperately trying to run away from Aether. The two can be heard from across the dorm. A couple seconds later, Venti runs back into the living room, jumping onto the couch, and hiding behind Lumine.

"LUMIIII SAVE MEEEE" Venti whines, cowering in fear.

"we haven't even gotten through a minute of the video, and this is what I have to witness," Lumine rolls her eyes, as Aether runs into the room.

"FACE ME YOU LITTLE SHIT" Aether grins manically, holding the pillow in his hands.

Kazuha facepalms

"theres no way Jean's letting us post this."
