TROUBLE #22: Yoona's Initiation Day

"Ah, I miss Yoona." Taehyung whines as he places his chin on top of the table while he is pouting his lips. The others were fighting the urge to knock some sense on the younger because he has been complaining for God knows how long already. "Can't we really ask Jungkook if we can at least have a glimpse of her? I want to say good luck to her!"

"I'm not risking my life to sneak inside the auditorium only to be dragged out by that scary senior named Hyoyeon once again." Namjoon warms his friends who might have been thinking of doing the same mistake they did months ago because he won't be doing it for the second time around. "Let's just wait patiently because it's going to start in a few hours anyway."

"How do I spend my time knowing that our Yoona's probably anxious out there because it's her first time standing in front of a crowd again after that incident?" At what the younger has said, the others suddenly paid attention and deep inside, the guilt they felt just a few weeks ago is starting to come back. It's a given that Yoona has accepted their apologies already but still, they know how nerve-wrecking it could be for her to stand on the stage again.

"How about we do something for Yoona?" Jin suddenly says, earning curious glances from his friends. Before they could even say something, he interrupts them, knowing what probably goes into their minds. "No, it's not a prank. I wouldn't even dare. What I mean is, how we do some banners or something? Maybe it could give some kind of encouragement to her while she's on stage."

"Would she even see it?" Yoongi asks, calculating the possibility that they may be pushed into the back of the auditorium knowing that there are many people who are so excited for the initiation of their university's dance club. "Trust me, we won't even get the chance to see her dancing because many girls are swarming over the new recruits of the dance club."

"We're gonna use our influence to get those ladies aside so we can get closer to Yoona." Taehyung winks at the elder who just shrugs and leans back on the bench as he continues to listen to what his friends are planning. "Anyway, it's a great idea hyung! Where do we get the materials do them anyway?"

Upon the mention of the most important factor in their plan, they all freeze. It's not like they have done this to support their friends when they were recruited to the club, so it's still a mystery for them on how this thing works.

Suddenly, a bright idea pops on Namjoon's mind, making him smile widely.

"It'll all be possible with Shin Hye's help."

"Ah, I'm so tired!" Yoona throws herself on the floor as they finish their last practice for their final routine. They weren't that many in the batch and the stage was wide, so she really had to do her best in dancing especially since she was placed in front most of the time.

Somin joins her and the two of them gave each other a knowing look: something that goes like 'let's go get a nice dinner after this because I feel like dying' look and they both nod in agreement. They have been inside the auditorium since this morning and it's almost two o'clock in the afternoon and they both feel so drained before the actual performance.
