He stared off in space with no expression. In front of him, Taehyung sighed heavily as he glanced at the uneaten food on Jimin's plate.

"Come on, you have to eat."

The smaller remained silent, earning another sigh from his best friend. The other looked around for help and fortunately, he spotted Wonwoo around their area in the cafeteria.

"Wonwoo hyung!!" The male turned to them, smiling upon them and jogged towards the both when Taehyung waved him over.

"Hey-"

"-he wouldn't eat!!" Taehyung pouted sadly as he cut off the older, whose expression turned 360°. With a soft sigh, he sat beside Taehyung who sighed in relief and faced Jimin who had turned his head towards the newcomer.

"Wonwoo hyung..."

"Yah! Why aren't you eating? I wouldn't want you to collapse wherever, whenever. Especially during the upcoming performance! Please do eat, for the sake of all of us."

Wonwoo was right. They were already preparing for an upcoming performance during the Music Festival as the special guests and in addition, they wanted Taehyung, Jimin (First Years) and IKON to participate.

Jimin sighed and gave in, nodded quietly to the older and took a bite of his food slowly. Wonwoo smiled gently, thanking god that the younger was finally eating.

Meanwhile, the other members were in the Dance Studio chilling around as they waited for their Group Leaders to arrive, including Jimin, Wonwoo and Taehyung.

As for now, they haven't decided on the group name, and Leader Hanbin & Wonwoo have been taking down ideas from their members.

The Professors thought that it was a good idea to put together IKON and SEVENTEEN since they are amazing, but they weren't sure about the idea of having two First Years joining.

But the Leaders were really stern about their decision, so the Professors agreed on the plan.

Since the newly-formed group was combined with three different groups, Choreographer Soonyoung, Chan, Junhoe, Donghyuk and Jimin had decided on having a song cover of Super Junior and Michael Jackson.

Producer Jihoon and Jiwon agreed on the idea, and both were working with each other on mixing Billie Jean and Sorry Sorry.

Then, some members wanted another song to be added. Maybe something more... Exciting.

Seungkwan's eyes lit up in excitement, "Perhaps... Girl group dances?"

"What the fuck? Seriously, Boo?" Hansol cursed, not liking the idea which earned him a pout from his boyfriend.

Minghao hummed, "Maybe it'll be a better performance if we do add girl group dances at the start.. We can end it off with our smooth moves for Billie Jean, isn't that alright?"

Junhui nodded in agreement, supporting his best friend quietly with a small smile.

Chan shrugged his shoulders, "It is for entertainment. Besides, girls like this kind of thing, right Soonyoung hyung?"

The Leader of the Choreographing Team nodded thoughtfully, earning cheers and hollers from DivaBoo who ignored his sulking manly boyfriend.

"Me Gustas Tu and Rough are the favourite songs of Hanbin!" Donghyuk added on, earning an excited nod from Yunhyeong.

"Before we can even be excited on having this kind of performance, who are the ones mixing the songs?" Chanwoo asked gently, earning groans from the other members.

They said in unison, "The Devil and The Sheep!"

"They called us what?" Jihoon asked in questioning, finding the topic unbelievable. Hanbin grinned, rubbing the nape of his head before repeating what he said.

Jiwon rolled his eyes, "Jihoon is not a Devil."

"He can be one?" Wonwoo said in doubt, earning a deathly glare from the smaller and in return he grinned nervously at the thought of getting hit.

Jihoon let that slide away and sighed softly, "Now, what songs did they wanted us to add in?"

"Me Gustas Tu and Rough by GFriend."

"Aren't they a part of the group that chased us?" Wonwoo furrowed his eyebrows, receiving a nervous chuckle from Hanbin.

"But their songs are still catchy.."

Jiwon grinned knowingly, "As expected of Kim Hanbin, he only cares about Music!"

"Fuck you."

Admist of their planning, they heard a soft knock on the door. "Yes, who is it?" Jihoon said loudly, his voice loud enough for the person behind the door to hear as his voice echoed around the studio.

The door opened with a creak, and a head peeked in. Taehyung grinned at them, "Hello! Can I hang around here, please?"

Jiwon shrugged his shoulders, waving the younger in as Jihoon sighed beside him.

He wouldn't be a problem here, right? Why not then.
