fifty-one

the hall slowly went dim indicating that the ceremony was about to start anytime soon. minhee and jeongin squealed excitedly while hyejin tried to keep calm considering that her senior, san, was beside her.

"yo hyejin. when's 3racha performing??!" minhee asked excitedly. it's a no wonder because almost everyone in school knew 3racha and were fans of them. the girls however were a bit sad that chan's no longer in highschool so hearing the news that he were to perform with 3racha that night got the whole school crazy.

hyejin looked at minhee who was beside jeongin. "they're doing the intro!" she replied rather loudly, matching with minhee's tone. her statement however grabbed the attention of a certain someone.

"3RACHA INTRO??!" wooyoung gasped dramatically making the other five averted their attention on him.

"uhh yes" hyejin said. 'man, changbin told me not to spoil..'

"goddammit changbin didn't tell me that!" the senior exclaimed. yeosang smacked him on his shoulder.

"shut up, woo" wooyoung pouted and was about to protest when familiar voices interrupted him.

"woops make way, uh yeah sorry. excuse me- yeah my seat's right in front- oh thank you. oops sorry i accidentally kicked that aaaa here's some money- yeah uhm excuse me, make wayy"

all six of them turned around and saw two tall figures struggling to get to the front, going through the crowd of people who already had their seats. hyejin recognized one of them.

'was it.. yunho? yea i think so'

yunho spotted his three friends before excitedly gave them a wave. he hastily pulled the other guy and speed up towards the empty seats beside wooyoung.

"whew we made it!" yunho beamed, plopping onto the seat beside wooyoung. san and yeosang simply chuckled seeing their exhausted friends.

"so where's my snack, mingi?" wooyoung asked.

'oh so that's mingi sunbae..'

"shut up and just look at us. we're already enough as snacks-"

"mingi, no! we have children here!!" san exclaimed, hushing mingi instantly. mingi blinked in confusion.

yeosang gestured to the three juniors beside san and mingi's lips formed an 'o' before breaking into a wide smile. minhee, jeongin and hyejin were already staring at him since he arrived with yunho.

the tall boy did a small wave. "i'm mingi! what're your names? i already know jeongin though"

minhee smiled back at the senior before introducing herself. "i'm minhee and that's hyejin"

mingi smiled. their conversation was cut off when the stage went completely dark. everyone was quiet, not knowing who was to perform first-except for a certain group of friends, of course.

a small source of red light lit up from left and right side of the stage and soon, a beat was playing.

'wait, i know this beat..' hyejin thought. then it clicked. 'oh! it's their newest track!'

the whole school squealed in excitement when three silhouettes appeared from the backstage. the red light went brighter and jisung immediately started spitting fire.

"GO THREE HOT SAUCE!!" wooyoung screamed. san and yeosang did a facepalm while yunho giggled at wooyoung's behaviour. mingi on the other hand was focused.

"man is this a new song??" minhee asked, her voice loud making sure her friends had heard her through the chaos of what you call, fansgirls.

"yup! the title's zone" jeongin replied. hyejin was bopping her head to the beat.

"I LOOK UP AHEAD NOBODY NOBODY CAN STOP MEEE EYH" hyejin shouted out the familiar lyrics that jisung had taught her, no longer caring about her surrounding. "I'LL SHOW YOU THE WAY SO FOLLOW MY FOLLOW MY LEAD EYYHHH"

"you think you're the only one who knows the lyrics huh?" she heard a voice spoke. she turned to her right and saw san, a small smirk on his lips.

excitedly, wooyoung gathered his friends' attention before they all shouted out the next lyrics in unison.

"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M IN MY ZONE!!"
