Chapter Sixteen

*note: i just noticed i didn't use honorifics in the previous chapters lol sorry bout that  🙇🏻

[Y/N's POV]

As I was heading back to the dance studio, I noticed a guy standing outside. I raised an eyebrow and approached him.

"Hey," I called out. He flinched away with a startled yelp. "Oh, sorry." I mumbled sheepishly.

He coughed out awkwardly as he tried to compose himself. "Are you a trainee here?" He asked. I blinked at how deep his voice is. Wow.

I nodded, "I am. Are you looking for somebody?"

"I'm a trainee as well."

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "A trainee? I've never seen you before though..."

"Ah, I've been a trainee for 2 years now. I just recently came back from Australia after I took a month off."

Oh, that explains it. But what was he doing just standing outside? "Aren't you gonna come in?" I asked, walking towards the door.

"The thing is—"

He was cut short when Minho opened the door. "Y/N—" His eyes widened when he saw the other guy. "Felix?"

His name is Felix? Cute.

Felix started laughing nervously as he slowly backed away from Minho. "Hyung," he stammered before running away.

Minho scoffed as he shook his head. "Come here you little fuck!" He growled as he chased after him.

To say that I was confused would be an understatement.

[Minho's POV]

Felix lowered his head as I continued to glare at him. Y/N darted his eyes back and forth between us with confusion written on her face.

"So you're telling me that Felix returned to Australia a month ago without even telling you first." We both nodded at her statement.

"But why?"

Felix sighed, lifting his head up to answer her question. "I can't answer that."

"Why you—" I came to lunge at him but Y/N held me back.

"Hey, calm down. He probably has a reason for it but he just can't tell us. Let's just respect his privacy."

Felix nodded, giving me puppy eye looks.

Ah, this guy. I could just beat him up and throw him back to Australia if he wasn't my friend.

"Fine. You don't have to tell me." I said with a defeated sigh.

He smiled brightly, "Really?"

"But you have to clean up the studio after every session for a week." I smirked as his smile fell. "You have to make up for the time you lost."

[Chan's POV]

"Chan hyung, Hyeri's looking for you." Jisung said, entering the studio with Hyeri tailing behind him.

She smiled as she she greeted me and Changbin.

Ah, shit. Here we go again.

"What do you want?" I bluntly asked.

"Wow, you're too direct." She giggled as she sat next to Changbin. I glanced over to Changbin who was silently scooting away from her. I would've laughed if Hyeri wasn't here.

"Well," she started, crossing her leg over the other. "I heard from Miss Jang you were releasing an album next month. And you still haven't found an artist for it yet."

"And what? You want to sing—"

"Of course. But I know you'll be against it. So I'm here to propose a deal."

The three of us glanced at each other in confusion. "Go on..." Jisung trailed off, waiting for her to continue.

"Let's hold a mini competition. Prepare four songs then have me and any person of your choice to sing them. We'll have Miss Jang and the audience to vote on who they want for the album."

A competition. Huh. She got smarter over the years, I'd give her that.

"I'd give you time to thin—"

"It's a deal."

Changbin and Jisung snapped their heads towards my direction. 'What the fuck are you doing?'  They mouthed at the same time.

"That was fast. I actually thought you wouldn't agree so quickly. Then I'm guessing you already chose someone to be your singer?" She eyed me with a smug look on her face.

She seemed confident enough to propose this. But I'll make her regret ever thinking about it. I'll win, that's for sure.

"I do, actually." I smirked as the two boys stared at me in confusion. "It's Y/N."

Let the games begin.
