Chapter 5: Winners

Today's the day, we have to perform our dance to the judges and the other competitors. I look around at the competitors, they have to vote. I'm really nervous. I look out on the stage and see Taemin smiling while talking to San E. I smile and look at the girls. 

"I'm so nervous." I say giggling.

"Don't be, just remember the moves!" Euijin says laughing.

We walk on stage and get into our positions, I am standing in the middle of the stage. The music starts, we all start the dance and singing. I feel like a different person on stage. I look at Taemin and he is smiling at me. I think I've progressed a lot because of him.

The dance is over in a flash and everyone starts clapping. We go back to our seat and freakout over it a bit. After everyone performs, we go to vote. I vote for the female white team and the male red team. Feeldog's team did so well!

The votes are getting counted. I am sitting with my team, about ten minutes pass and the votes are ready. We all hold hands. 

"Let's announce the female team!" San E says, I recognised the word 'female'. I start sweating, it doesn't really matter if we don't get it, but I still really want it, "The winner is... red!" 

The girls and I stand up and start jumping up and down. We start screaming and I feel the tears leave my eyes, we did it! All of my hard work. I look at Taemin who is smiling and clapping. 

"Now, for the males!" San E says when we calm down, "The winner is... red!" 

Feeldog's team stands and everyone claps. Their team was so good, they definitely deserve it. We all walk out of the room, they are giving us one day of rest. The girls and I are still so excited and happy about winning the first mission. On my way to the room, Taemin walks up to us. 

"Good job everyone, you definitely deserve the win." He smiles and looks at me, "Can I talk to you for a minute?" 

I look at him and I say to the girls, "I'll meet you in our room!" 

They nod and leave Taemin and I. All of a sudden he hugs me and laughs. "You did it!" He exclaims squeezing me. 

"I couldn't have if you didn't help me." I say patting his back.

"It was all you sayang!" (Sayang is an Indonesian word, this means 'dear' or 'sweetie')

"No! If you didn't help me then I couldn't have done this." I say smiling. he lets go and smiles down at me.

"You were amazing." He says, I could see the happiness in his eyes. Hwang Chi-yeul comes up to us. He is one of the mentors. 

"Hello (L/n), Taemin." He says stopping in front of us. "Congratulations on the win, you deserve it. Taemin told me about all of the hard work you put in."

I smile at Hwang, "Thank you!" I bow and giggle a bit. 

"You're so cute!" Hwang says smiling, "Stop bowing, you don't have to bow in front of me, feel free to call me Chi."

"What?" I question looking at him.

"(L/n)! You're more popular than I am!" He says laughing, "I'll see you both around, enjoy your day off!" 

I watch him leave and I look at Tae, he looks annoyed.

"Stupid Chi-yeul, why does he have to be good looking and charming at the same time." I hear him complain. 

"Waduh! Are you jealous?" I say laughing. 

"What?! No!" He crosses his arms a look away, "I'm not jealous at all!" 

"Yeah, yeah, you tell yourself that."  I say laughing. 

he takes my arm and starts pulling me towards the cafeteria. When we walk in, all of the boys are eating. We usually aren't allowed to talk o see the boys, the mentors don't want any relationships on the show, it would make it problematic for the show and the audiences. 

All of the boys look at Taemin and I as we walk in, we sit down at a table by ourselves. 

"Are you hungry?" Taemin asks me, "I'll get our food for you."

"I am, but no too much."

"What do you want?" 

"Just some fried rice!" I say smiling.

"I'll be back then." He stands up smiling and walks to the place where the food his kept. 

I sit for a while and Feeldog comes up to me. 

"Hello." he says standing in front of me. 

"Hey, Feeldog!" I exclaim, smiling.

"My English is not good..." He says rubbing the back of his neck.

"Oh! That's okay, I'll understand you!" 

He sighs with relief and says, "Congratulations on winning." 

"Oh! Thank you! Congrats on your win too! I can't wait to share the stage with you!"

Taemin comes back with one tray, I see the fried rice and water. I also see his food and he also has water.

"Congratulations Feeldog, you danced very well." Taemin says as he sets down my plate and the water.

"Thank you!" Feeldog exclaims bowing. 

I smile and I take a fork.

"Bon appetit!" Taemin exclaims smiling. 

"Thank you!" I smile and I start to eat the fried rice. It is surprisingly good!

"I will let you both eat." Feeldog says as he waves and turns away.

"Goodbye!" I exclaim smiling. 

"Why does everyone have to be so good-looking?!" Taemin says.

I laugh and continue eating. 

"Seriously!" 

"Not everyone is good looking, Tae." I say smiling at him.

"Then name the good looking ones!" He pouts.

"You..." I say quietly.

"What was that? I didn't hear you!" He teases.

"You!" I exclaim. 

He starts laughing, "I know, you're not too bad yourself!" 

"Just shut up and eat!" I growl.

He laughs and starts eating.
