"Okay. So can someone please tell me why the heck everyone is squished together here in my room?" There was an outburst from the bleary-eyed boy who was still buried under his blankets. It was Minghao who had just woken up after having a mid-afternoon nap after his and my call before my last class.

He looked at everyone else judgementally; at Seungkwan and Seokmin who were poking each other, at Hansol whose arm seemed to be slowly inching closer to his best friend's waist as he looked at the two in jealousy (I say best friend, but those two are both oblivious to their feelings and I'm sure they're probably dating without even knowing so themselves), at Jisoo who was just quietly observing everything that was happening, at Chan who was tapping away on his phone, playing a game.

At Wonwoo and Mingyu who were making faces each other and being a gross cheesy couple, at Jihoon who was zoning out and glaring at the wall, at Soonyoung who was leaning his head on his boyfriend's shoulder as he was slowly drifting to sleep, at Samuel who was sitting on Jeonghan's lap and nodding off due to the fingers that were gently raking through his hair, at Jeonghan who was said person playing with Samuel's hair as he himself was seated between Seungcheol's legs and at Seungcheol who had his arms around both boys and was resting his chin on top of Jeonghan's head.

The response to Minghao's question was approximately 7 boys trying to explain the answer to his question all at once, Seungcheol looking at those who were speaking while he was going to explain it himself in annoyance. It was 7 different interpretations of what was happening. I just shrugged and looked at Minghao, smiling because he was smiling.

Even though it may not seem like it, I knew he was happy to see everyone. "Hey! Shut up and let Seungcheol-hyung speak!" I shouted over the chaos and I covered my eyes once half of the people in the room turned to look at me. "Thank you, Junhui. So, Minghao, we are here in your room because I thought it'd be unfair if we held a meeting for planning songs for the competition and left you out, which brings us to where we are right now." Seungcheol explained and Minghao nodded in understanding.

"Jihoon, continue please. You're our genius composer. I still don't really know much than what I talked about in the groupchat." Seungcheol finished, looking at the pink haired boy who had his laptop out, waiting for this moment. "Okay, so I have some old drafts that I can use and revamp for this first round because it's too late to make new songs. As you may or may not know, there are four rounds to this competition. The first round needs three songs and then every other round needs four, the second and third rounds have specific conditions and as the fourth round is the final, it's mixed." There were various levels of enthusiasm in the responses from those of us who were listening, some like myself nodded and others like Seokmin and Samuel voiced their understanding loudly.

"So, this is the first song I'm thinking of using for the competition, maybe make it a bit more upbeat so we can dance to it." He started playing a mainly piano backing track with a slow, but good beat.


"I think we can probably have this second in our line up and have a really upbeat song for our first one, I'm hoping to find one to use somewhere I haven't looked yet. Also, I've already thought of some lyrics for this song, and I know that they will still work even if the track is sped up. There's another song that I have made. This is another one I think we could use for the first round, maybe as the last one for our performance and I have already had Seungcheol, Soonyoung and Hansol helping me with lyrics." He started playing a new track.


Seungkwan looked at his 'best friend' in shock. "You've been meeting up with them and I didn't know? We spend all of our time together." Hansol made finger guns and shot him a cringy smirk, clearly not knowing how to respond. I laughed and quickly covered my mouth when I realised I was laughing louder than expected.

"Oh so that's the song that you wrote that lyric from in our message." I didn't realise I had spoken out loud until I noticed that nearly everyone was staring at me like I was crazy, except Jeonghan and Seungcheol who knew what I was talking about. "Yes." Seungcheol answered simply and waved everyone off. Jihoon suddenly shouted, which made a few of us jump and also woke up Samuel. "Lee Jihoon what was so important that caused you to wake up Sammy?" Jeonghan asked with a deadly glare as he restarted his method of helping Samuel to sleep.

"Sorry, Muellie. Its just that I found a song I made and liked that we can use that was accidentally buried in the drafts of songs I didn't really like." I, along with many others, stared at the overexcited Jihoon in shock as he hurriedly played it.


"This can be our first song in the competition! It will be a great song to start with!" Jeonghan begrudgingly nodded in agreement while still combing through Samuel's hair, trying to lull him back to sleep.  "Let's start with lyric ideas, okay?" I didn't respond and looked at Minghao, trying to figure out who to ask to swap with so I could sit next to my best friend. It was a pretty obvious choice actually, on one side of Minghao was Chan and the other was where Mama Bird Jeonghan was sitting with his boyfriend and our maknae.

"Channie... Can you swap spots with hyung, please?" I requested and the smaller boy looked at me with suspicion initially but ended up climbing over the bed and sitting himself down on the swivelling desk chair that I had recently vacated. Once I had sat down I discreetly put my hand on Minghao's back and started drawing on his back. He side-eyed me momentarily and then smiled. I smiled softly back at him and wanted to cry inwardly because of how cute he looked even though he was sick.

I also wanted to cry because I realised that the fluttery feeling I got when looking at Minghao from when we were dating was back.
