"Finally, the drinks are here!" Nayeon unnie shouted as soon as she saw me entered the waiting room with thecans of soda on my hand which Jungkook sunbae had helped me earlier when I dropped them off accidentally.

I was really surprised when he suddenly just appeared in front of me and helped me pick up the drinks that the members had requested. I wasn't expecting for anyone to help me that time since I saw no one in the hallway.

Jeongyeon unnie was supposed to go with me earlier to buy those at the cafeteria but I told her that I can do it alone. Even deep inside of me I have knew that probably I couldn't do it by myself but I acted strong enough.

I was worried about her injury going worst and besides the others were resting while retouching their make ups aside from me and Jeongyeon unnie who was already done. That's why I had no choice but to go alone to get us some drinks.

My name is Minatozaki Sana by the way and I am turning nineteen years old in December. I am a member of a newly debuted girl group under JYP Entertainment from the survival show Sixteen. We debuted last October and have our first comeback this May.

"Sorry my clumsiness were getting in me earlier..." I said as I placed their drinks in their side and gave the others to our staffs. They deserve a refreshment too for looking after us at times like this when we are very busy for promotions.

"It's fine as long as you were able to return back in one piece... Or else I would have troubles explaining to our manager about having another member with an injury." Jihyo said while laughing at me that made me frown.

"You are very mean leader, I hate you already..." I said while pouting as she just ignored me and face the blank maknae. She was clinging to Tzuyu who doesn't even bother to look at her, this kid is really a savage one.

"Girls, your last performance will be after bangtan in fifteen minutes which is supposed to be last. I had already arranged it with the show's coordinators so that Jeongyeon can rest her injury in the interval." our manager said as he came inside the door of our waiting room.

"Did they agreed? I was really scared when we can't do the three songs in our supposed to be time slot..." Momo unnie worriedly asked as our manager nodded. Typical Momo unnie when she is worried about something.

"Yup and in five you are expected in the green room for an interview. We should be heading now so that just in time we'll be there." our manager said as he looked at his watch.

"A minute oppa, let us just finish our drinks. I badly want to fill my throat with liquid. I am really very thirsty..." Chaeyoung said as our manager nodded his head understanding the situation among the members.

After the others chugged down their drinks, we immediately proceed to the green room where the interview will be held. We were just playing around on the way like we usually do with our bright personality except for the kill joy 99 liner maknaes.

When we arrived them I saw the maknae zoned out towards the sunbaes direction and by the looks of it, they will be joining the interview with us.

"What are you looking out there Tzu? Is there something bothering you?" I asked her as she shake her head nothing before listening to the production team's instructions.

A few moments later the short interview began and I noticed how everyone was not comfortable on how the host asked us rude question. He could have asked in a nice manner, everyone was in an awkward state as a result.

Good thing that the interview didn't take that long or else, I would have seen Tzuyu and Chaeyoung beating that host even by just basing by the looks on their stares. They won't hold back if they continued to ask more rude questions, I swear...

"I still hate the guts of that host, how dare them say those things. Come here unnie, I will assist you back to the waiting room... We still have to perform another song in stage..." I said to Jeongyeon unnie as she nodded her head.

Jeongyeon unnie still can't perform I'm gonna be a star and Precious love with us but she is trying to join us in Cheer up performances. At least she is doing her best to join us despite the fact that she is injured.

"I'm really sorry, if not for me you guys would have finished the pre-recording earlier on time. I really feel guilty for being this moment." she said as me and Jihyo just smiled at her.

Well the members understands each other, injuries and getting sick is not something that we can avoid. We just cover up the missing members in times like this, just like how they covered me up on the first week of promotional period because I had a fever.

"Don't worry unnie injuries are bound to happen sometimes, just focus in getting well... And don't force yourself too much..." Jihyo said as we assisted unnie to the waiting room while our manager was with the other girls.

"Go ahead now, I could manage from here. I'm sure sunbaes wouldn't take that long to finish the pre-recording. You should too so that you could rest." unnie said as we both nodded our heads after leaving her in the waiting room with the other staffs.

"They never changed... Still the same group that I used to watch back then but much more than before, especially now that they are seven of them..." Jihyo unnie said as we watched the sunbaes perform on stage, she knows some of them since they used to train together back then.

While me, I just seldomly saw some of them in the building and never get to know them since I often spend time with Momoring or some other Japanese trainees for the Japanese team.

Unlike Korean trainees who often meets with each other after training. We Japanese trainees often go alone after training. Since there was language barrier, it was really hard to communicate with them before.

Since the line up changes from time to time, we never did get to have a close member inside the team. Then again I was transferred to the 6mix team but we were eventually disbanded afterwards. Forcing sixteen of us to join the survival show called Sixteen.

"Are you really close to all of them leader?" I asked her as she shake his head no. "Not all of them, but yeah... They used to go around the entertainment building too. Besides Jimin sunbae as you all know is my first cousin." she said as we approached the others.

I can clearly see Mina who was so red all over her face while watching the sunbaes perform on stage while covering Dahyun's eyes. We can hear their fan girls screaming to the top of their lungs from here.

When I watched them too I could feel why Mina had suddenly blushed. As I watch sunbae who helped me earlier while dancing to their choreography. I mean there's nothing wrong with their song but...

Is was just too much for me to handle, Jungkook sunbae just looks so hot while performing on stage with their song Baepsae. Their song was somehow kind of bold, well I don't know the term for it.

"I guess it was not a nice idea at all to watch out here..." Nayeon unnie said while covering Tzuyu's eyes. Same to Momoring who was covering Chaeyoung's eyes.

"I told them later..." Mina said as she turned around the other direction avoiding the loud cheers of the audience. She was really shy, Mina is known to be that introverted reserved member of Twice. She is very conservative too.

"Right later, manager nim tell us when the sunbaes are done... We'll just be right here." Momoring said as she dragged Dahyun and Chaeyoung with her as we went to a blind spot.

"I should have known that they were supposed to perform Beapsae in advance. You maknaes should have not seen that, the steps were pretty too much to handle." Jihyo said while still laughing at the flustered Mina.

"Why cover our eyes then, we will not take a look anyway..." Dahyun said as the other two nodded their heads. We tried talking about other things to distract ourselves but I can't get the image of Jungkook sunbae doing a lip bite on stage.

"Nonetheless they will be finished in a moment unnies and let's just focus in finishing the pre-recording so that I could rest. I'm tired already..." Tzuyu said as I gave her a hug.

"Auh, the maknae is already tired... Don't worry I will energize you..." I said as I was still hugging her. "You are just an additional factor why my energy is all drained unnie..." she said trying to push me that made me pout.

"Serves you right unnie, never try to get a hold of Tzuyu again and you'll end up hearing her savage answers instead." Chaeyoung said as the other laughed at me. But we were interrupted when we were called in the stage for our turn.
