"The show will move on, he is remembering bit by bit." Minho said while eating breakfast.

Jeongin sighed. "Ok, I think I am remembering that we were in a survival show." Chan appeared dancing cutely.

-

"So, this is the song. It is called Hellevator. Lets listen." Chan turned the audio on.

The song was great. It had a great beat. Jeongin bopped his head while smiling cheekily. He loved the beat.

"Ok, dance team, let's create the choreo." Hyunjin stood up with the two other birds following.

Jeongin was left with the others to create the verses.

-

Its been a week. "My life's at a rock bottom cliff. I'm walking a dark tunnel. I'm holding up this cruel dreadful day alone my school hallway is fading away on this unfamiliar way." Jeongin sang with hand gestures.

"Its great, maknae!" Woojin praised Jeongin.

"Come here, Jeongin and Chan." PD-nim called over. Both of the trainees went there clueless.

"The show is boring to the viewers, so we want to add a little flame."

"Be mad at Jeongin."

Chan was shocked at his words. Chan shook his head. He didn't want to be mad at the maknae.

He wouldn't do anything merciless. "Just act." PD-nim confronted Chan. Chan continued shaking his head.

"Do this or we will make you." he gave dirty eyes towards Chan. Jeongin was silent.

"This is just acting, nothing violent. Do this for the sake of debuting. Plus, Jeongin wouldn't take it seriously, right?" PD-NIM a glare towards Jeongin.

Jeongin slowly shook his head. Chan knew that it was acting but he was scared.

He would go overboard.

"I'll be fine, hyung. Just do it. Lets practice and not waste time! I'll act as if I did a mistake."

Jeongin jumped happily. He loved acting. Acting seemed very fun for him.

He couldn't wait.

-

Jeongin acted as if he did a mistake before Changbins rap. Chan knew it was his cue.

"Take five."

Jeongin loved acting. He did a scared expression.

"Jeongin, what was that just now?"

Jeongin felt scared.

It seemed so real.

It reminded him of the past.

When Chan scolded him.

Jeongin regretted it.

No wonder Chan disagreed.

It was too late.

"They will not criticize you only but us as one."

"As a group."

"This is just a start, who knows how much hard missions people will give."

"So, please fix yourself."

"Pay attention."

"Chongmal, you are lacking in so many things."

"Dont do mistakes."

The PD-nim signaled which meant a cut. He gave a thumbs up towards the two.

Jeongin faked a smile.

"Um, I need to go to the bathroom." Jeongin ran away.

-

"Why am I crying? Its just acting." Jeongin said to himself. Jeongin wiped his eyes.

But ended up crying more.

FLASHBACK

"Eomma! What is WRONG WITH YOU?" Jeongin stopped doing his homework to see him mom bursting the door open.

His mom started to push everything from the table away. Including Jeongins books.

She started to smash the plates and glasses.

Jeongin accidentally stepped on the glasses.

"OW." Jeongin cried out. His feet had scars and blood.

"Jeongie!" his mother realised her actions and just hugged her son tightly.

Both of them cried their tears out.

His mom was an alcoholic as soon as his brother and father left.

His mom would sleep in daylight and go out clubbing at night time.

Jeongin would do house chores.

He would wonder.

Worry.

Wait.

"What if you leave me one day?" Jeongin asked his mother who was wiping his feet.

"No, I love you so much. Why would I leave you, Jeongie-ya?" his mother wiped his tears using her thumb.

Jeongin smiled at her words.

"You are the only thing that matters in my life right now."

"You are my diamond."
