let's talk about our first picks!

EUNSANG.XMK: bad news, everybody...

"what's wrong?" seungwoo jolts up from his seat, surprised by the sudden message from eunsang appearing in his tv screen. seungyoun and wooseok immediately heads over to take a closer look.

EUNSANG.XMK: seulgi will be doing a quick inspection for mimicry, i think it's bc she hasn't opened it for a while so now she's quite eager to do a little spring cleaning (⑉･̆⌓･̆⑉)

EUNSANG.XMK: i might have to stay low for a while, i'm scared that she'll find out abt me, that'll be huge trouble

"you mean like, a server update for the mimicry?" seungyoun raises his eyebrow. "what about junho?"

EUNSANG.XMK: i don't think he'll be affected.. perhaps he'll be a bit slower than usual, considering that she has never done something like this before ;-;

EUNSANG.XMK: i'm gonna leave soon and i'll be back after it ends, don't try to contact me while we're at it, ok!!!

"stay safe, eunsang-ah," wooseok mumbles quietly with both of his arms crossed.

"don't you think that's it weird seulgi-ssi hasn't been opening the program for a while now?" seungwoo asks out of curiosity. "i mean, i thought she cherished it so much when he went around testing the thing on junho. now she just sets him loose with no clear intentions of what he has to do, and she's doing it on election day.."

"i've started to question her intentions ever since she searched for the other x1 individuals in junho's little course thing that the kids infiltrated," seungyoun purses his lips. "it's like developing mimicry isn't even her ultimate goal at the moment, what she wants is to find—"

he stops himself from finishing his sentence. all she wants is to find me, the boy who has the ability to heal other people.

"find what?" wooseok asks as he arches his eyebrows. his thoughts are full of concern for the latter.

"find other x1 individuals as many as possible," seungyoun changes the sentence, covering up what he wanted to say earlier. "we need to stay cautious. if she's desperate, she might just capture yohan all over again. i think she needs more observation especially considering that what she's doing with junho and the mimicry is definitely not working."

"that's why we shouldn't let the boys wander off by themselves," seungwoo looks at the both of them. "besides, it is election day, right?"

wooseok tilts his head. "what are you suggesting?"

"he's suggesting to infiltrate the party," seungyoun grins. "and in that, i solemnly agree."

the election day. it must be taken account that xigma high takes events like these very seriously, especially when there's such an unpredictable battle between the two strong candidates, kang minhee and cha junho. like a national holiday to be properly celebrated, there were no subjects, no school hours— just a full day filled with rampant last-minute campaign and promotion standees for the students to all enjoy.

a ginger haired boy ventures through the crowd, bringing a microphone and an enormous speaker along with him. "and now we're back with haechan radio with 37,5% viewer ratings, reporting LIVE at the very center of where the election day is taking place! now we have na jaemin-ssi here with us today as our fellow student council leader~ jaemin-ssi, how do you feel about having your long period of suffering to finally come to an end?" he clings to the latter, dangling on his shoulder for support.
