~Blue's POV~

"Royal Colors on standby!" The Show! Music Core staff called out.

"Time to cheer!" K exclaimed, putting her hand out first to form a group cheer.

Faye and Emma followed unknowingly.

"Who is going to cheer though?" Soeun asked.

"I thought Faye would since she's the oldest." K shrugged.

I looked at Faye to see her eyes slightly wide. "I mean, I can but I wouldn't know what to say."

"Emma then?" K asked.

Emma shook her head, feeling shy about doing it as well.

"It's okay, I'll do it." I spoke up.

I felt like I had been taking a leadership role since we started preparing for this album so I kind of expected to do most of the cheering anyway.

"Yay!" K exclaimed.

Soeun and I put our hands on top of the group hand tower.

"While some of us are new and some of us aren't, we've done well preparing for this song. The fans have liked it thus far and I know they'll enjoy our performance even more. Even though we may be nervous, let's just give it our best shot and show how hard we've prepared for this. That's all that our fans could ask for. RC Baby Pink..."

"This is the part where we yell fighting collectively." K told Faye and Emma.

"RC Baby Pink..." I repeated.

"Fighting!" Everyone shouted, K the most enthusiastic while Faye and Emma were a little behind the rest of us.

Soeun and I snickered together.

"It's okay, we'll get it eventually." I said.

Everyone giggled and we waited by the stairs to perform. While Faye and Emma were a bit nervous, they ended up performing well, so did everyone else, myself included, making for a great comeback stage.

~K's POV~

We were on our way to the studio for The Show, all in the same van. I was scrolling through social media when a post from the collective RC account popped up. It showed a picture of JC surrounded by some of the other RC members at our birthday party. They also had photoshopped me into the picture. While I was thankful, I couldn't help but let out a huge sigh as I was missing my own birthday party.

"Everything okay, K?" Faye asked from beside me.

"Yeah, of course." I flashed a fake smile before putting my phone down and staring out the window.

My eyes never left the streets outside and not many words came out of my mouth for a while. While I was happy to be promoting, I kind of wished I was with all my members today, even if it was such a common thing; at least today would have been for me.

It was around 5:30 and we were all about ready for the show when there was a knock at the door.

"K, can you get that?" I heard Blue ask.
