Y/n and Jisung groan and complain as Chan and Minho wake them up some hours later. Y/n has to fight her urge to downright growl at them but she keeps her instincts down, sitting up and glaring at them.

Chan chuckles, brushing a strand of her black and red hair out of her face. "Come on, Y/n-ah. It's comeback time."

"I would rather die," she grumbles, leaning into his hand and closing her eyes. She seriously loves the security of having a Pack Alpha. Will she say it out loud? No, absolutely not. She'd rather rip out her uterus than admit it to this testosterone-filled pack. It's entirely too early for that.

The alpha simply smiles before he picks her up out of Jisung's nest and sets her on her feet. "Go get ready. We leave in 20."

Y/n grumbles as she walks down the hall to her room. She packs a small bag and stumbles into the bathroom after dressing in cute, comfortable clothes. Hyunjin grunts a greeting as he stares blankly at the mirror and she gives one back before they both brush their teeth in silence, trying and failing to wake up.

The house is filled with groans and complaints as everyone gets ready but they're out of the building in record time, packed into two vans. Y/n is a sack of nerves as she sits in the van with all of the pack heads, fidgeting and glancing around. They notice her agitated state but say nothing in front of the driver. Seungmin grabs her hand after the fifth time of her flicking her nails against each other, and she squeezes the hell out of it in gratitude.

The van comes to a stop and Y/n glances out the window to see fans with cameras filming them. "Fuck," she hisses under her breath.

"It's alright," Chan smiles at her, patting her knee. "Just smile and wave. It's a quick walk inside."

Y/n nods shortly before she waits. The door opens and Chan steps out first, smiling at Stay. He holds his hand out and Y/n takes it, mumbling thanks and climbing out of the van. Once her feet are set, Chan lets go of her and steps back, gently pressing her forward by her lower back. Y/n turns to the screaming fans and smiles, her heart caught in her throat. She ducks her head in a bow and waves.

"Go ahead," Chan nudges his chin.

Y/n nods and tucks her phone into her pockets, keeping her trembling hand there. She waves a few other times to the fans as she walks toward the building. Seungmin follows after her and once they're safely in the building, she glues herself to the beta's side trying to catch her breath.

"You're okay," Seungmin runs his hands down her side. "You did good."

"That was terrifying," she mutters.

Seungmin snickers and squeezes her closer. "But you did it. Good job."

Y/n takes the compliment and encouragement for what it is and sticks close to him as the others come inside. They head to their waiting room and she gapes at the inside of the building, noticing a lot of other idols mucking about. The minute they step into the room, she's grabbed by a pair of small hands and playfully tackled onto a couch. Y/n yelps as she struggles under the omega's weight but finally manages to shift around to catch bright blue hair.

"Yah, Felix," she groans. "You're not as light as you look, you know?"

"Quiet," he grumbles, shifting to bury his face in her neck. "Pillows don't talk."
