Once we were all gathered together, we waited for MC Jin to arrive. He was taking his time, so we all were doing whatever to keep ourselves busy.
I was resting against the mirror playing with Yanjun's hair as he laid his head on my lap. He looked tired, so I couldn't say no when he asked me if he could.
Xiao Gui, as always, was bickering with Bu Fan and the rest were just chatting while we waited.
"I really love your hair." I told Yanjun as I ran mu fingers through it. "It's super soft."
"Thank you, I guess." He said chuckling.
"Where on earth is this man?" Asked a slightly frustrated Xiao Gui. "We've been hearing others yelling for twenty minutes now yet no one's here."
"Relax, he could just be busy." Yanjun told him.
"He's fashionably late." I said chuckling.
We then heard another group yelling "No!" once again and Xiao Gui rolled his eyes.
"See? I don't get why they are being so dramatic suddenly." He said and sat down next to me. He then pushed Yanjun's head out of my lap.
"Dude, what's up with you?" Yanjun asked.
"She has a boyfriend if I may remind you."
"And? I'm not doing anything illegal, for heaven's sake. I'm just laying on her lap!" He told him and sat down properly. "My god, you have overly protective brothers..."
"What can I say?" I said chuckling as I gave Xiao Gui a side hug.
Just then the door finally opened revealing an excited MC Jin. We all then quickly stood up to greet him. The boys all gave him a bro hug while I simply gave him a hug.
"Linlin!" He said as he gave me the hug. "I'm glad to see you doing rap!"
"I should at least try it once, shouldn't I?" I said and we then all sat down back again. I was sitting in front of MC Jin with Yanjun to my left.
"I want all of you to feel free here. I don't think of this stage as you accompanying me on stage, but rather all of you inviting me. This stage is all about you." He told us. "Also, if you have any suggestions or questions or anything, just say it."
We then all fell into a rather uncomfortable silence. It was really strange to talk to the mentors freely with cameras recording.
"Jin-ge, I've thought of something." Said Bu Fan breaking the silence. "It's just that I want to choose leader already. I want to pick Jin-ge."
"I want Center to be picked too." Said Zhou Rui pointing towards MC Jin.
"Hear me out. Because the Leader has to shoulder the responsibility of coming here daily." Bu Fan pointed out wittily.
"The leader will be very tired but still has to wake everyone up." Added Zhou Rui.
"If I am the leader I will have to live here, right?" MC Jin asked.
"Really, and also need to buy food." Began Bu Fan.
"Buy snacks, treat us to drinks!" Added Zhou Rui.
"Has to be dissed once by team members."
" So in the end, what you are saying, is that every trainee wants to diss me some?" MC Jin asked.
Everyone then began saying no while I simply said yes. Let's be real here, who wouldn't love to diss the teachers sometime? It's not always that you have the chance to do so.
They obviously looked at me with wide eyes while MC Jin just laughed.
"What? Can't I be honest?" I asked them while chuckling.
"I appreciate the sincerity." MC Jin told me and gave me a high-five. "I would honestly want to diss myself too if I were you."
"See? I bet all the teachers diss us when we aren't near."
"In my family I am indeed the leader, my wife's a Center and my son is a citizen producer." He said going back to the topic.
"A citizen producer family." Yanjun said more to himself than aloud hut we still heard him.
"Let's all be more straight forward. I am the Center." Said MC Jin taking the Center tag, making us excited. "But, before I decide on this, we have to be fair."
"Does anyone disagree?" Bu Fan said.
"Anyone who disagrees, battle!" Zhou Rui said over excitedly.
"Who on his right mind would disagree?" I said and we all chuckled. "It's settled, Jin-ge is the Center."
"Now the leader." He said. "I think one of you should be the leader. As you said before, the leader has the responsibility of coming here every single day and we all know I sometimes may not be able to be here. You choose someone."
"I don't want to be leader. I was on the last evaluation." Bu Fan quickly said.
"We all know I'm not exactly leader material." Xiao Gui explained.
"I pass." Zhou Rui simply stated.
"Me too." Said Xinchun.
"Same." Said Li Rang.
"I personally don't care." Said Yanjun.
"Me neither." I said agreeing with Yanjun.
"Okay. So, hands up for Lin, hands to the floor for Yanjun." Said MC Jin. "1,2,3..."
They all then made their decisions. Bu Fan, Xiao Gui and Zhou Rui voted for me while Li Rang and Huang Xinchun voted for Yanjun.
"Then it's settled." Said MC Jin coming towards me and sticking the leader badge on me. "Lin's the leader."
After I thanked them all, MC Jin began handing out the lyrics so that we could begin dividing it.
"Come here." He told us so that we gathered around him. "See this thing here?" He said pointing to the pinyin lyrics on the right side of his paper. "I actually cannot read the left part at all, so when I write lyrics or something I have to use this technique. It's a pity really."
"I didn't know that..." Muttered Zhou Rui.
"I think none of you except for Lin actually knew about it." He told them.
"Why did you know it?" Xiao Gui asked me.
"I had to ask him to help me with something and he told me he couldn't read chinese characters." I said trying to avoid the fact that it was due to the <It's Okay> preparations and rehearsals.
"Let's now go to work and divide this lyrics, shall we?" Said MC Jin before we began the song division.
