"Ryujin-ssi, who do you think performed the best today?" asked the dark haired guy as he faces her with a small smile. She hums and scratches her head, she glances at the guy before shrugging her shoulders and shaking her head. "In my opinion, it'll be the K-POP queens!" Beomgyu gapes at Ryujin as she brightly smiles at the camera. "They haven't performed yet, what should we do, Beomgyu-ssi?" asked Haechan.

Beomgyu snaps out of his thoughts and shifts his gaze to the camera, he quickly peers at the card in his hand and faces the two idols with pursed lips. "There's no other choice but to bring them out. With their hit song, please welcome TWICE!" the three turn towards the stage as the group of nine perform their latest song called MORE & MORE. Beomgyu, still in the clothing he wore for performing PUMA, only stands still in his spot as he scans his surroundings. Paying attention to Haechan and Ryujin in the corner of his eye, he grits his teeth in frustration as he leans on his left foot.

He only knows what this was called and it was not the best feeling ever, it always catches him off-guard. His foot aggressively taps on the floor, causing the two other idols to turn to him for a split second before continuing their conversation. His eye twitches and he groans as he fixes his gray hair. He glances at them, seeing the smile on Ryujin's face almost immediately calms him down, making he, himself, smile a bit.

. . .

"You were great!"

Beomgyu smiles at Yiren's comment, he puffs out his cheeks and heaves a heavy sigh. The look of happiness on Yiren's face slowly fades away as she saw how Beomgyu was kind of disappointed. She taps the guy's shoulder and smiles when he turns to look at her, "Something bothering you?" she questioned and he pursed his lips, shaking his head but Yiren knew there definitely is something. She gives him a small smile before nodding her head, looking away. She knows that Beomgyu's disappointed at something, but she decided to not pry deeper into the matter.

Yiren feels a buzz in her pocket and she fishes her phone out, "I have to go, Aisha said we're going to have a dinner with the whole group." she muttered and pulls herself out of the chair beside Beomgyu, she turns to Beomgyu and bends down to see him better. Before Beomgyu could speak a word, Yiren leans in and leaves a peck on his cheek then she turns her back on him, walking away.

Beomgyu's hand slowly places itself on to his cheek where she left the kiss, but he drops his arm then groans as he saw Haechan and Ryujin leaving together. Haechan was nobody in their story, but look, now Haechan is here and is trying to take Ryujin away from him. Call him selfish and everything, but nobody messes with his Ryujin; nobody.

A knock came from Soobin's door, with half closed eyes and messy hair, the tall leader opens the door as he scratches his eyes. "Beom?" the guy called as he let his eyes adjust to the lighting. "What are you doing here?"

Beomgyu awkwardly grins and holds up the plastic bag in his hand, it's full of beer bottles that looks like it had just been bought. Soobin gives him a small smile before he nods his head and steps outside of his room.

As Soobin sips on his beer, he turns to Beomgyu with one eyebrow raised. "Did you want to purposely drink, or what?" He asked, causing the one in front of him to chuckle lowly with an uneasy smile. Beomgyu picks on the barcode sticker on his beer bottle, giving Soobin a little hint that he was obviously nervous about something.

Soobin's eyes lands on Beomgyu's clenching fists on the bottle, his knuckles were white at how hard he was clenching his fists and Soobin is certain that the beer bottle is going to break sooner or later. He hesitantly grips on Beomgyu's forearm, "Hey, like I said.." he trailed off and squeezes Beomgyu's arm. "I'm always here if you need me."

Soobin gently takes the bottle out of his tight grasp, "Let's start off simple," said the taller one as he sets the bottle next to Beomgyu's legs. "What's going on?"

Beomgyu hangs his head low and grits his teeth, "A lot is going on and I don't know where to start." Soobin gazes at him with empathy in his eyes. As Beomgyu scratches his head aggressively, Soobin silently watches with a blank expression.

"Today was my first day as MC," Soobin nods his head as he listens intently to the younger one.

Beomgyu lifts his head up and gazes at Soobin with a little pout, "Don't get me wrong, it was awesome being MC, especially on the first day.." he said, displaying a small smile. Soobin chuckles and sips on his beer, gesturing him to continue. The smile on Beomgyu's face slowly disappears and was replaced with a frown, "But Haechan seems more talkative." he muttered, confusing Soobin.

The leader gulps down the rest of the beer in his bottle, leaving it empty as he straightens his posture and setting the empty bottle beside him. "What do you mean? How is that bad?" he asked, obviously confused and Beomgyu had just realized that he left out some parts.

"He's more talkative but he only talks to Ryujin, while I was right beside them, standing still alone like a big fucking statue compared to them." he muttered, Soobin stifles a laugh as Beomgyu crosses his arms. Beomgyu sighs heavily as he observes the night sky above them, "So, you're stressed about that?" he turns to Soobin with a glare.

"Woah, now. But, seriously, you're stressed over something as little as that?" Beomgyu groans and stands up, bouncing up and down as he flails his arms around. Soobin shakes his head at the younger, "Hey, I think I know why you're like this." Beomgyu faces the tall leader and cocks an eyebrow.
"It's obvious that you're jealous."
