"Ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, asexuals and-"

A dog barked.

"-Furry Friends, welcome to the annual but unofficial dance battle majoring in freestyling! I am your host Lee Chan and it is my pleasure to introduce to you our judges for today!"

The crowd went wild inside the cafeteria, of course, Principal Moon was there, but he kept himself hidden because he didn't want to ruin the fun of the students at the very first day of class. Principal Moon usually scolds Lee Chan for holding these kinds of events inside the school during unnecessary times, but he understood that this was a school for talent and skills, so Principal wanted to see the hidden potential of students.

"Damn how did Dino manage to get those judges?" Asked Seungcheol.

"He has a connection, I guess" Jisoo answered.

"I really can't believe this kid" Hansol said.

"Sol, we're just a year older than him" Seungkwan smacked Hansol with an empty water bottle gently as they laughed together.

"Hey love birds, can you quit the cheesiness? We're at a dance battle not a date on the park" Wonwoo interrupted.

Hansol blushed.

"You're just sad because Mingyu doesn't have feelings for yo-"

"Shut up Boo!"

"It's true-"

"Hey, no fighting please" Hansol cut the two off.

They laughed hard at the sight of Hansol who's almost gonna cry as if he's a toddler who doesn't want violence.

"You're so cute Sollie" Seungkwan pinched his cheeks.

" I'm about to go lactose intolerant if you guys keep doing that" Minghao said

"SHUT UP!"

"First up is the very beautiful senior who has snatched hearts of millions because of their dance practice along with her soon to be group, Blackpink, Let us welcome Ms. Lalisa Manoban!" Lisa stood up from her seat, which was on the mini stage in front of the cafeteria, as she waved to the crowd.

"Next up is a trainee from bighit, he recently signed up and passed the auditions in no time. He is very known for a group named The Neurons dancing along the streets with their heavy beats, he is also a senior and he is also cousins with Jessica and Krystal Jung! Let's give it up for Jung Hoseok!" Hoseok stood up and jumped up and down because of the excitement, he scanned the whole cafeteria making sure to have eye contact in all of the students, not until he saw a very familiar figure standing by the exit door.

"Soonyoung?" Hoseok whispered.

"Okay I am very excited for the next one, she is in a very popular girl group called Mamamoo, and the principal is very proud of her because she graduated in this very school, let us all welcome Ms. Moonbyul sunbaenim!" The crowd went wilder when Moonbyul started dancing in the center of the cafeteria.

All the tables and chairs were set aside before the program began so she danced freely, of course, accompanied by music, she danced to their song. Lisa and Hoseok looked at each other as they nodded in agreement, both of them parkoured from their seats and jumped above the table, they landed safely on the tiled floor just in time to join Moonbyul.

Hoseok did some popping moves which impressed the sea of students and Moonbyul, every move was precise, quick, sharp and clean, Hoseok bowed after and soon pointed at Lisa, after she found the right tempo, she started to break dancing, this was the reason why everybody loved her, her flexibility, her timing, and her clean moves, she even jokingly made a move that made her look like she's lassoing a star and gave it to Moonbyul.

Of course, the host didn't want to be left behind, Chan started dancing when a familiar song blared in, it was one of Bumzu's songs entitled "Just" and Chan's charisma and facial expression in dancing was just to satisfying to see, he even glided with his own feet just like Michael Jackson did, he did robotic dance and break dancing too. The crowd got louder as Chan finished it with a wink and lip bite.

On the other hand, Chan's circle of friends were the loudest of them all, Seungcheol was slamming the table, Mingyu was shaking Minghao, Hansol was cringing because of chan, Seungkwan was filming the whole thing, Jisoo was horrified because of what Chan did in the ending part, Wonwoo facepalmed, Jun roared when Chan winked at him, and lastly Seokmin whistled the loudest when Chan bowed.

"Alright, I think we had enough of that, let us introduce the contenders for this afternoon's dance battle!"

The crowd roared once more, excited to see the contestants in their full glory.

"First up we have here Xu Minghao!" Chan announced as he pointed towards Minghao's table.

With Minghao's quick reflexes, he suddenly stood up and backflipped from his seat, his head not touching the table as he went over it, he landed on the center and also break danced to a poppy song.

"Second, we have Wen Junhui!"

Unlike Minghao, Jun gracefully glided to the center stage as the song was changed to a soft lullaby-like tune. Jun quickly flexed his gracefulness to the crowd as he danced like a ballerina, he also did martial arts because that was his specialty. Unexpectedly, Minghao joined Jun, Minghao was also graceful, they danced to a marimba like music, they were like Ying and Yang perfectly fit together and dancing in harmony. The judges were also impressed by the pair as they cheered for them.

"JUNHAO! JUNHAO! JUNHAO! JUNHAO! JUNHAO!" Their friends cheered, except for Mingyu who wasn't that happy about the partnering. Just like that, Mingyu stormed out, none of his friends noticing because they were too busy cheering.

Chan also introduced more contestants namely Taeyong, Chittaphon, Moonbin, a guy who has a stage named Rocky, Dongyhuk, San, Wooyoung, and many more. They also unleashed their skills in front of the crowd with various typed of music they danced to. Of course, Chan saved the best for the last one.

"For the last contestant, I know you guys know him already, he is our little composer I this school, also a part of the dance club since 7th grade, he's small but terrible the one and the only..."

This time, the crowd is at it's the peak of craziness, girls and gays couldn't hold their squealing, fanboys shouted the most and Chan's circle of friends were slamming their fists on the table

"-Lee Jihoon!"

That was it, the whole cafeteria was in complete chaos, students were shouting, teachers were trying to calm them down while Principal Moon was smiling like an idiot, hiding behind the plants so that he could not be spotted. But there was one problem.

Jihoon was nowhere to be seen.
