~Blue's POV~

"Royal Colors on standby!" The Inkigayo staff called out.

"You girls know the drill." I said, putting my hand out first. The rest of the girls followed, placing their hands one by one on top of mine.

"Hey, can we join your cheer?" A voice spoke. I looked over to see the boys that were promoting with us. Us girls were scheduled to perform first so I didn't think about including them in the cheer. It was Changbin who had asked but he wouldn't take his eyes off of Soeun. I looked at Soeun who was blushing and smiling back at him.

"Of course." I told them, trying to ignore the obvious feelings in the room.

The boys all joined in, placing their hands on top of our's.

"Would anyone like to do the honors?" I looked around.

Nobody spoke up. I looked at Soeun and gave her a certain look with my eyes but she just shook her head. I wanted her to impress Changbin but it seemed she wasn't ready.

I sighed then did the cheer myself. "This is our third album in this year alone which I think is a new record for Pinky Entertainment. Our groups each have created such great music, as one and together, so let's not let our company down and prove that we belong to have a comeback this often. Inverness Kingdom..."

"Fighting!" We all shouted, all of us throwing our hands in the air.

We all gave an extra cheer, the boys cheering us on and the girls laughing at the boys. By that time, us girls were set to go on stage where we performed our song, the boys performing right after us, each group having loads of energy, making for a perfect comeback stage.

~Joon's POV~

I was getting a bit tired after partying most of the day and decided to sit down and relax for a minute. I was enjoying a minute to myself when somebody came up to me.

"Hey, Joon?" I looked up to see Takashi. Although I wanted to smile, I didn't; he was somebody I've always cared for here at RC, whether I'd like to admit it or not.

"Hello, hyung." I bowed my head slightly in greeting. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, of course." He said, his nervous self shining as per usual. "I just wanted to say happy birthday and give you this."

Takashi held out a small gift bag. I was a bit surprised.

"A present?" I asked, taking the gift from him. "We don't do gifts at RC."

"I know, but you're one of my best friends here and I just wanted to show that I appreciate you." He said, twiddling his fingers.

I couldn't help but smile as I took the tissue paper out of the bag. Inside was a nice black writing journal and some fine tipped pens, the expensive kind.

"It's not much but I know you talked about needing new pens recently and I thought I'd get you a new journal just in case." Takashi explained.

"It's perfect." I said, smiling happily. If there was anything I would have asked for my birthday, it was this.
