Hey guys! This is part 3 of the modelling chapters (I named it differently because it is more of a stand-alone chapter than a continuation of the other 2) Please Enjoy!

Jeongin POV:

As soon as we made it to the studio, I could tell the others were just as anxious as I was. All we wanted was to finish this god-forsaken day and spend the rest of our time with Chija relaxing. 'Too bad we won't get to relax for another 6-7 hours', I sighed, pouting slightly as the car parked outside the building doors. Looking to my left, I smiled, watching contently as Chija yawned, moving off of Minho's lap so we could file out of the car and into the building lobby. "Hey, Innie, you ok?" Felix asked, his deep voice bursting my happy little bubble. Grumbling, I nodded slightly as I slid out of the car door, trying to catch up with the others. 

Once in the studio, everyone quickly got to work. Chan and Jisung-hyung set up the recording booth whilst Hyunjin and Changbin-hyung worked on getting the lyric sheets organised. Looking around, I quickly spotted Chija looking through some sort of binder. "Noona, watcha doing?" I asked curiously, smiling when she looked up, her doe eyes beaming with warmth. "Nothing much, hun. I'm just looking over your schedule once more before you guys start. I'm also trying to make the hair appointments for Seungminnie and Binnie for this week. What's up?" She asked, rubbing my arm affectionately as I sat down next to her. 

I sighed dramatically, pouting like a child as I laid on her lap. "I wish we could just all go home and relax. I hate how long today's been..." I whined, looking up at her sweet face. Pouting right back at me, Chija stroked my cheeks softly. "Aigoo, my poor baby~ Awww, you boys must be exhausted hmm?" She cooed, kissing my cheeks softly as I giggled, nodding cutely. 

However, our moment was quickly ruined when Felix and Hyunjin rammed themselves into Chija, begging for cuddles and kisses as well. Rolling my eyes with a huff, I walked off towards the recording booth, but not before kissing Chija on the cheek. "Ok, Jeongin-ah! Let's get this show on the road!" Chan whistled, starting up the track as I slipped on the headphones, laughing at his enthusiasm as we got to recording. 

2 Hours Later:

Chija POV: 

The boys were taking a small break before they finished up their recordings for the day. I smiled, laughing alongside them as we ate the ramen we ordered. "Chija-ah, here, try this!"  Jisung cooed, placing his chopstick of noodles in front of my face. Giggling, I opened my mouth, moaning at the flavours as I chewed on the food.  Looking up from my plate, I saw all the boys blushing wildly. "Why? What happened? Do I have something in my teeth!?" I asked frantically, covering my mouth. "No! It's nothing, don't worry your pretty little head about it," Seungmin laughed, smirking softly as I shook my head confusedly. 

Soon, the conversation changed to music preferences, instantly piquing my interest. "Chija, what kind of music do you listen to?" Chan asked, the others leaning in to listen for my answer. "Well, I like most music, but lately, I've been listening to a lot of Taylor Swift. There's one song that I've been playing on repeat," I mentioned, smiling as the boys urged me to continue. "It's 'Dangerously' by Charlie Puth. It's just- It's so beautiful and he sings it so well. Plus the lyrics are so meaningful and it struck a chord with me..."I winced, realizing I was rambling. Before I could even apologise, Minho held my hand, smiling as he told me that they didn't mind me talking.

 "OMG NOONA! You should try doing a cover of it in the recording booth!" Felix and Jisung squealed, encouraging the others to join in too and convince me to try it out. Before I could even protest, I was shoved into the recording booth by Changbin and Innie. "Come on you guys! Don't I get a say in this?" I asked, huffing in amusement as they all shook their heads. "Chija! Just give it a shot, we won't judge! Please~"  Minho whined, smirking when I eventually gave in. Closing my eyes, I slipped on the headphones before letting the music speak for itself. 

Song (I used the cover done by Ahyeon from BabyMonster cuz I love it sm!):

After I finished, I slowly opened my eyes, only to be met with 8 shocked faces on the other side of the glass. "Was I that bad!?" I asked, concerned as they didn't even exhale. "D-Did we all just die and go to heaven?" Jisung muttered, his eyes wide in shock. I blushed, rolling my eyes. "Stop exaggerating, I wasn't that good," I giggled, walking out of the booth and towards the others. "Are you kidding!? You have the most angelic we've ever heard in our whole lives!" Bangchan screeched, his mouth agape. 

"How did you not become a singer!?" Changbin asked, walking over to me as I stood next to Hyunjin. "Well, I was more focused on earning money to help out my parents financially. I mean, I always wanted to go down the career path of singing and music when I was younger, but I realised that taking care of my parents was more important to me. So I got a job as soon as I was out of school," I shrugged my shoulders, not thinking much about it. 

"Wow, you sacrificed your dreams for your family?" Seungmin murmured, shocked at the information. "Well, I wouldn't call it a 'sacrifice'. I just, decided my family was the most important thing to me. Plus, had I not done that, I would've never ended up where I am today!" I tried to cheer them up, smiling when they all perked up, nodding in agreement. "Now, enough about me! Let's finish this off so you boys can go home and relax a bit before we have to go shoot the episode!" I smiled, watching as they all stood up and got to work. 

After recording: 

We quickly packed up our stuff before making our way out of the recording studio. As I was leaving, I felt a pair of arms wrapping themselves around my waist. Looking up, I saw Innie's sweet smile and dimples. "Innie, what's up?" I asked, gulping when his face lowered towards my own. "I wanted to tell you something before we go meet up with the others," He whispered, twirling me around to properly face him. Gulping once more, I nodded softly, allowing him to speak. 

"I just wanted to let you know that we are all grateful that you ended up being part of our group, and we can't imagine what would've happened had we not met you..." He whispered, leaning down to place a soft, warm kiss on my lips. Melting into his arms, I wrapped my whole body around his, falling deeper into the kiss as he held me tightly. Once the need for air became too intense to ignore, we slowly pulled away, totally in awe of what had just happened. "I like your lipgloss. Strawberry flavour, my favourite~" He teased, placing another hot, sloppy kiss on my lips once more before we giggled, leaving the room to catch up with the others.

We all quickly filed into the elevator, chatting and giggling as we made out way into the lobby. However, an uneasy feeling settled in the pit of my stomach. Looking over at Chan, I could see his eyes on me. 'You alright?' He silently asked, gesturing to my nervous stance. I nodded, ignoring the searing discomfort deep in my bones. As we filed out of the elevator, I felt a pair of eyes on me. Looking off to the left, I was met with a pair of hazel eyes. The same hazel eyes I had spent almost my whole life trying to run from. 

"Jeonghan..." I whispered, my vision becoming hazy. I felt my legs give out before shortly crashing down to the ground. Changbin caught me, steadying my collapse as he laid me on his lap, kneeling on the lobby floor. "SOMEONE CALL 911!" Hyunjin screamed, rushing over to me. "Chija, can you hear me?!" Felix asked, concern lacing his deep voice. I blinked, watching as his face slowly became a blur of colours. "Jeonghan, he's..." I whispered, my body slowly giving out as I felt myself fall into a deep sleep...
