This was it, at the very end of this week it would be the special "JYP NEW GENERATION" Concert that everybody was looking forward to.

Now our schedules had been cleared completely and the only things we were doing was practicing for this concert.

Everyday, from the early hours of the morning to the late hours of the night were spent dancing and singing.

Despite Woojin's departure, we kept his vocals in the songs he had recorded. When we were all offered his lines, none of us wanted to take them and we all had requested to keep his vocals so that was done.

The choreograph had to change though so we all put in the extra effort to make things perfect. Not only for us but for JYP and for Woojin.

"CJ! You keep getting the stepping wrong! It's step step slide not step slide step" the trainer growled at CJ who wiped the sweat dripping from her neck.

The trainers have become strict as the concert got closer. They began to call everyone out on every mistake and even the vocal trainers, if your off pitch or off beat just by a little, they made you do it over and over again until it was perfect.

"Jeongin! You missed the beat!" The trainer called out again.

After hours, the time was 3:34am and practice finally ended.

We all chugged down our waters and just laid on the ground of the practice room.

"This is killing me" CJ sighed as she whacked her legs furiously.

"What are you doing? Jeongin asked her.

"I can't feel my legs, they're too sore" She stopped whacking them as Jeongin sat beside her and just starting massaging them.

"Thank you" She huffed as she leaned on his shoulder.

"It's too hard" she muttered into Jeongin's shoulder.

"Don't worry, we'll work on it together tomorrow, want to do that?" Jeongin asked her.

"Yes please" she mumbled. I smiled watching the two. Jeongin was perfect for CJ. CJ always talks down on herself but Jeongin always tells her otherwise and brightens her mood.

"Water?" A voice asked and I looked up to see Chan handing me another bottle of water. Taking it, he sat down beside me and leaned against the mirror.

"It will all be worth it in the end" Chan said as he took a sip of water.

"Once we're on that stage, we won't even remember the stress of these practices" He continued.

"I agree. That was like our debut. The practices were dreadful yet once we got on that stage, it was like all the sweat and tears we shed was worth it" I agreed with Chan.

"Hey? You ready for our duet?" Chan's body perked up as his words left his mouth. He pulled me closer to him as he waited for my response.

"As ready as I can be, I mean It will be our first performance as an official couple" I said.

"It's nerve racking" I added and Chan smiled at me.

"I know but we will do it together" Chan said gently as his large hands held my small ones.

"Guys the vans are here" Chaeryeong said and we all got up to head home.

Arriving home we all took our showers and got changed into our Pajamas.

As all of us were getting ready to head to bed, Seungmin and Han spoke up.

"Um we know it's a weird request but can we all sleep in the living room tonight?" Seungmin asked.

"Why's that?" Lia asked.

"Well we sort of feel uncomfortable and empty when we entered our room and saw Woojin's bed plain and bare. We know he's not dead or anything it just feels....different" Han commented and we all nodded in understand. We knew we would all feel the same.

So instead of sleeping in our rooms, we rolled out mattresses onto the floor of the living room and chucked our many blankets down on them.

Since we were all close to each other, we didn't really care who we slept next to so everyone was just everywhere.

Seungmin and Lena were sleeping on the couches while the rest of us were sleeping on the mattresses.

Changbin, Felix and Lee Know had fallen right asleep as soon as they laid down on the mattress along with Miho and Sina who fell asleep between the boys.

Han was laying on his back, scrolling through his phone while Chaeryeongs head was using his stomach as a pillow.

Hyunjin and Hyunji were just laying beside each other chatting. Jeongin was twiddling with the ends of CJ's hair as they also chatted.

I felt a heavy body fall onto the space beside me causing me to turn onto my side and face the boy.

"I'm so tired" Chan mumbled as he slithered his arm around my waist and pulled me into him.

Reaching up, I placed my hand on his cheek slowly caressing it with my thumb earning a little moan from Chan.

"That feel's nice" Chan muttered half asleep already so I kissed his forehead and snuggled closer into his body. His arms around my waist tightening.

"Goodnight Channie" I whispered before relaxing my body and letting the sleep take over.
