"Great job guys!" We were backstage, out of breath, after rehearsing for the first time on stage. We had to be at school by 5, in the fucking morning, since we had school later. It's a Friday, so we have another rehearsal after school and one tomorrow before the actual performance. Study night is a big thing here. Everyone comes, mostly the freshmen and seniors, but basically everyone, including some staff. They take these things very seriously and really do put everything together, like crazy, since the only big things our school really celebrates is study night and graduation.

We've already danced our whole choreography on stage, and I was actually liking the outcome we're watching right now. Minho has been helping me practice, he called Hyunjin over the next day, after my little breakdown, and they kept helping me, every day, after school. They made it a small secret, just so it wouldn't stress me out if all the boys were watching me, practically trip over my feet, but, Jeongin found out eventually and begged to join. "I should have been the first one you asked, noona." Is what he said to me with a pouty face. Don't worry though, I, uh, made it up to him later.

We were watching our recorded rehearsal and the director told us we could rehearse the whole thing once more, since the next performers were late. Yeah, we aren't the only ones performing, thank god. It was some of the other elective classes who created something, voted on the best one, and is rehearsing today as well. There's a coding class, who's going to show us a whole freaking game they made, a piano class, tap dancing class, a leadership class, etc, etc. They even have the baking and cooking class prepare food and treats for the whole night, which Felix is apart of and won with his brownies.

I took a last sip of water before walking out onto the stage along with my brother, Jeongin and Hyunjin. We got into our starting positions and the song began. It went smoothly for the first few seconds, because I was behind the boys, getting ready for my verse. But once I jumped out from between the three boys, I froze. The boys continued dancing, lost in the music, but Jeongin noticed me. "What's wrong, noona?" He whispered, bringing me out of my frozen state. The music paused when the director saw all of us stop dancing. "Hey, hey, what's going on?" He asked through the megaphone he held. He sighed into it, "Well, the next group is here. See you guys after school."

I stood there still, blinking while staring at the person standing in the open space in front of the stage. Jeongin gently turned me to face him, eyes questioning what was wrong. I stuttered but just decided to show him, so I pointed over to where Minho, was already jumping off the stage and, stomping toward the nervous looking boy. Jeongin slowly trailed to where he was and immediately followed my brother. Hyunjin didn't look as angry as the other two, and actually stayed behind to help me get off the stage. He gave me his hand to hold onto while jumping off, "This is not gonna be good..." He muttered as we started walking toward them.

Minho reached the boy first and held his fist up, ready to punch him, but Jeongin got a hold of his arm, pushing it to the side. "Not a good idea, hyung." Minho scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Allow me." Jeongin calmly said, then almost threw his own punch at the boy, but stopped when he saw the boy flinch. He stared at the boy for a second, with his fist in the air ready to take the punch, but groaned in frustration and walked to where Hyunjin and I.

Minho glared at the boy as I reached them, holding an arm out so I wouldn't get too close, "What do you want, Changbin?" He asked through clenched teeth. Changbin opened his eyes, from when he thought Jeongin was going to punch him, and immediately froze when he met eyes with me. "I-I.." He started, but trailed his eyes back to where Jeongin was glaring at him, jaw clenched. He took a small breath in, looking Minho in the eyes, "I'm here to apologize."

"Yeah, we're not listening to that. Come on guys..." My brother said, turning around to push us backstage. "Wait!" We heard Changbin desperately say. "Just..let me talk to Jia and Jeongin...alone?" Minho scoffed and turned back to face him, "No way in hell am I letting you go with my sister and Jeong, alone." We all started walking away again but Changbin didn't give up, "Please! Just let me explain." I started feeling sorry and opened my mouth to speak up, but Jeongin beat me, "No, Changbin! How are we supposed to forgive you after what you did to Jia?!" He took a quivering breath in, "And me..."
