Chapter 9

-I-LAND POV-

The I-LANDERS were talking about the second test and deciding the parts. The new I-LANDERS got offended, because Seon called them grounders even though they're already in I-LAND. 

They couldn't voice out their opinions on the parts that they want. So, they just go with the flow and stayed silent which gave them the least line part. "This is getting uncomfortable." Taki said to Sunoo.

Sunoo just nodded as he watch the others talked. After they decide the distribution, they toured the new I-LANDERS around which lighten up their mood. "Whoaa, my twin gonna love this." Sunoo look around the I-LAND like it was a castle.

"Of course noona would." Taki said as he laugh at how true it is. "Ha? What do you mean by noona and twin? Sunoo, did your twin come? Wait, do you even have twin." Geonu ask looking confuse.

"I do! She's really my tw-" Sunno got cutted off by Ej. "Nah, he didn't have a twin. They just became twin for no reason." Ej said. "That's not true. We do everything at the same time. So that's count as a twin."

"Nuh uh." "yeah uh." They start bickering over who's the right one. "Wait, she? Your twin is a girl?" Seon ask. "Yea, apparently she's the hidden applicant here. So she's the 24th applicant." Sunoo replied.

They were about to ask another question but sunoo just goes to another room, leaving them confuse. "Who do you think the girl is?" Seon ask looking at Geonu. "I don't know, we just have to wait and see." 

After roaming around they went to their room. Taki, Heeseung and Jungwon are in the blue room. The atmosphere in there was awkward when Heeseung broke the silent. "So, what does ground look like?"

"It's small but not that small. There was bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and dining table." Taki said. "Whoa, it must have been hard for you guys." Heeseung said looking worried. "It was at first, but when we met noona she change the atmosphere there!" 

"Noona? Can you tell us more about her?" Heeseung ask with a curiosity on his face. Taki eyes sparkled and nodded. "Well first of all, she's really good! I mean, she's the ace in ground! She's just like you hyung but a girl version."

"Wah, but why didn't she get picked?" Jungwon ask. "Well noona just joined I-LAND when you guys were already in I-LAND so she have to stay in ground for the rest of part 1." Taki said. "Oh, that must've been hard for her then." 

"Right, but she help us a lot. She even gave us tips! A lot too. She even cook for us!" Taki said while smiling. "Oh really? So does that mean she's good at cooking?" Jungwon ask. "Super! Like super duper good at cooking! She always cook for us and sometimes Hanbin help her." 

"I want to meet her hyung.." Jungwon said as he whisper to Heeseung. "Same, I guess we have to wait." 

-In yellow room-

The new I-LANDERS talk about how ground was. "I thought ground and I-LAND would be similar" Sunghoon said. "The clothes are different too." Ej added. "I hope the others are okay." K said.

"You don't have to worry about that hyung! Noona is there." Yoonwon said looking relief that he remembered Ria was there. "About that, can you tell us more about her?" Their eyes were wide. They smiled before telling them about Ria.

-In purple room-

"I hope you guys are getting comfortable here." Geonu said, trying to lighten up their mood. "Omg I already miss my twin.." Sunoo said as he fake cry. "Honestly if you bought a big bag, you could've just brought her here already." Taeyong said 

"Oh why didn't I have thought about that earlier. Thank you." Sunoo said giving him a smile. "I know, I'm smart." Taeyong said looking proud. "I love your confident." Geonu said making Sunoo laugh.

"At least I gave him an idea." Taeyong said as he look away. They continue laugh. After they're done laughing they continue to talk about I-LAND.

I-LANDERS decide to practice, so they go to the main practice room. The new I-LANDERS were having a hard time since they are normal Ria helping them.

"I'm worried, what if we fail this test? I wonder what grounders are doing right now." Taki said as he look worried. "I think noona is helping them. Lets just hope that we don't get eliminate." Yoonwon said.

-BACK TO THE GROUND-

It was now the next day. She woke up early and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

She decide to make a breakfast for herself since the others didnt wake up yet.

After she finish cooking her breakfast, the others have woken up.

"Noona? What are you doing, isnt it too early.." Ni-ki ask as he rub his eyes. "Its not now, where's everyone?" She ask as she put her plate down.

"They're showering.." Ni-ki was about to say something but he got cut off by the smell of food.

"Noona, what are you making?" He ask looking brighter then earlier. "Just egg and toast. You want some?" She look up at him as she saw him nodding.

"Alright I'll make it. Go freshen up first." She ask as she went to cooking. "Ok! The others want it too by the way!" He said as he run to the bathroom.

She just shake her head. After she finish cooking everyone came in. "Smell good, I always have this but why does this smell different." Jake said.

"Its my kind of style, so.. Eat up." They all just nodded and went to eat. "What about you?" Hanbin ask. "I just ate. I'll go to the practice room and wait for you guys."

After finishing their food. They went to practice room. They saw Ria looking at a tablet which was playing Fire by BTS.

"See! I knew that she will play that song over again." Jaeho said. She look at them and stop the video.

"You guys here, lets practice now."  They all went over to her and sit on the floor. "Lets try to do the choreography first, then we move to the part where we have to lift Jay."

Hanbin said, Ria just nodded as everyone just follow her. They then practice the choreography and everyone was in sync.

After they done, they went over to the Jay part. "Guys, I think I have to.. uhm. Sleep now!" He was about to go but Jimin stop him.

"What do you mean? It literally morning." He said, Jay just stayed silent. "Jay, lets just do the lift part. No need to be scared." Ria said.

"We'll catch you. I think." Jake said as he make a thinking face. Ria just gave him a thumb up before they lift Jay up.

"See you are doing just fine." Ria said as she gave him a smile. They then put him down. "Lets do the choreography again with the lift now." Ria said.

They continue the practice. After done, they decided to do an individual check to make sure about it.

After done, they then start to work on their vocal and rap and talk about the song so that we can make the right expression.

They all finished practicing late at night and decide to take a rest. The new grounders goes to the dining table to have a new grounders meeting. *Made up*

"I thought we gonna mess up in here. But honestly, it pretty good." Jake said.

"I know right? It doesnt felt like a competition anymore! And we have been improving just in 2 days!" Ni-ki said with a bright smile.

"Noona is good at everything! I thought they were talking nonsense at first." Daniel said.

"I know right. I wish the others in I-LAND could meet her." Jay said "Honestly if I was her little brother, I would've show off her to my friends." Ni-ki said.
