Seuljin's POV - Thursday, 1:10 p.m - backstage Mcountdown

"They were out there..." I whispered to th girls after the door shut behind us.

I had spotted Seungkwan running down the hallway shortly after we left the cafeteria. Wonwoo was running after him and not far behind them was Seungcheol and the others.

As much as I wanted to shout out to the I kept myself quiet and pushed the girls along hoping they wouldn't spot us. Unfortunately avoiding them worked out no problem until we reached Toppdogg's prep room.

They stood there while Rome approached us and Yano came out to get us, but they didn't approach us. They just stood there gawking.

"What?! Really?!" Yuka asked eagerly. "Did they see us?"

"Yeah.." I nodded. "Seungkwan and Wonwoo seemed petrified."

"Oh.." Jitae muttered and looked down. Minji grabbed her head and dropped to the floor. "Damn it." She cried. "What do I do?" I could imagine how she feels. Having three of her biases around her and having to choose between them, plus having her ultimate bias practically claim her.

"Girls can you come over here?" Minah called us.

"Coming!" We called back.

"I'll be right there." Jitae called and pulled out her phone.

"What are you doing?" I asked her curiously.

"I'm going to text him. I can't take it anymore. I have to talk to him."

"Okay. " I said and left her alone to text Seungkwan. I tried to push the image of the boys shocked and surprised face out of my mind and concentrated on was Minah was saying.

"I need some of you guys to run a few errands. Someone has the go to the show manager and get the show schedule for me. Then I need someone to do the stage equipment check, so make sure all the props are there and not damaged or anything, I'll give you a list for that. Then I need two or three people to go grab the last few boxes out of the van. The rest can help out here with the outfit and make-up preparations."

"I'll go grab the airing schedule." I offered.

"I'll do the equipment check." Jitae said coming up behind me.

"Okay." Minah handed Jitae a piece of paper. "You two can head out to get here since they're both in the same area. Off you go." She shooed us out.

We left and slowly made our way to the stage area.

"Has he answered yet?" I asked her carefully.

She shook her head. "He's seen it, but hasn't answered."

"What did you write?"

"I asked if he's alright and if he wants to talk."

"Hmm..."

"If he doesn't answer by the time I finish the check imma go over there."

"Good idea. I'll come with you." We continued in silence until we had to part ways.

"The show manager is probably out near the stage somewhere. I'll come back and help you once I have the schedule."

"Kay. See ya." She waved to me and I headed out to the stage.

Oh. My. God. The. Whole. Studio. Is. Huge.

My eyes slowly wandered through the studio taking in every little detail. There we're multiple stages around the room with all kinds of lights hanging around them and the we're rows and rows of seat filling the rest of the hall all the way up to the back of the studio.
