today was finally the day. the day that came from all the practices that lead into midnight, endless hours of pain. the day of the dance competition. jeongin, hyunjin, renjun, yerim, mina, heo chan, and auburn didn't suffer for nothing.

jeongin felt as if he was going to explode. he was so nervous. nervous to the point he didn't sleep the night before. of course, jisung made him not sleeping such a big deal. in which it wasn't. at least in his eyes.

but it was a big deal.

how are you supposed to dance when you didn't sleep the night before?

jeongin didn't have the answer to that question. no one else did.

following his lack of sleep, as the boy had to wake up at 6 am, he decides to sleep on the way to the school's auditorium. sadly enough, his school wasn't far from where he lived.

the male prayed silently that neither felix or chan would spill about his secret. only this time, they unfortunately did once all three boys arrived.

❝c-channie hyung please don't tell the others! they'll be so mad at me.❞ the maknae begged. as much as chan wanted to resist jeongin's puppy face, he started to slowly nod. that's when felix saw chan. ❝jeongin, no. hyung, seriously?❞ felix sighed.

felix rolled his eyes as he leaned closer to jeongin. ❝i understand that you're scared. but they need to know,❞

for sure, he was gonna get his hand beaten.

while walking into the building, the small boy felt as if he would throw up.

he had a bitter taste in his mouth.

❝hey! you're here!❞ a voice called out. shivers went down jeongin's spine as he knew who was talking. mina. jeongin put a smile on his face.

here we go again.

as felix and chan were chatting with the others, yerim came over to jeongin. she knew something was wrong. ❝what's wrong?❞ jeongin swallowed hard. ❝i-if i tell you, you're gonna be mad. i just know you will.❞ yerim smiled softly as she tried to get out whatever jeongin was holding in.

jeongin looked away.

he sure was gonna get in trouble.

❝i couldn't sleep last night.❞

the boy looked into the girl's eyes only to see soft brown eyes. ❝that's okay. you're nervous it's normal.❞ yerim just smiled. there was no yelling, or screaming. it was calm.

jeongin felt like an idiot. it was all okay until another group came.

❝this school sucks ass. why can't we—❞ the girl talking stopped herself as she the group. a smirk ate at her lips. the other girls and boys around her were speaking another language. sounded like mandarin.

and of course they were talking shit as they guessed none of the kids spoke or even understood mandarin. but, oh, boy were they wrong.

renjun shifted uncomfortably as someone made a nasty comment about him.

it got worse when this new group called hyunjin and jeongin rude slurs as they held hands.

and there was chan and felix trying to create distance between the two groups only to fail.

jeongin glances at the clock. 6:40 am.

it was going to be one hell of waiting for 2 hours with this group.

and the funny part was, they weren't the worse group.

there were more to come.
