CHAPTER 5: SURE THING

The pageant was composed of 3 categories; talent portion, and on the last day, National Costume attire, and Q and A while wearing their best gowns and suits.

Jennie wasn't even a bit problematic about the pageant she just joined in. Apparently, she's already used to joining events like this from her middle school; she just decided to lie low this high school. On the other hand, Jimin was nervous as heck. Despite his cool guy aura whenever he's with us, he's still not that confident when it comes to a whole school event.

In the end, it's up to us to hype Jimin up, especially Jimin, before the event starts next week.

On a Friday afternoon, Jin gathered our club in the school's auditorium.

He jumped into business as soon as all of us were already in the circle. Jin retrieved the script from his backpack, brushing his hand on its first page before looking at us.

"I've read the script. Not bad for your first time, Tae and JK." Jin complimented the two playwright, making them smile shyly at everyone in the circle. "Who do you think would suit your two main leads, Tae?"

At another mention of his name, Taehyung raised his eyebrows before grinning. "I was thinking that Jisoo could be the female lead."

Namjoon looked at me, raising an eyebrow, then looked back at Taehyung. "And the male?"

"Me." Taehyung confidently answered.

"Of course." Jin said in exasperation, looking like he expected Tae's decision. He sighed. "Very well then. Your story wouldn't need more major characters, right?" Taehyung nodded. "Just the Duke, his wife, his children, the gardener, and the rest will be the townspeople."

"How will we have those many people?" Yoongi asked. "We don't have many members left in our club, Jin. You know how more than half of our club last year was composed of our seniors." I frowned.

He was right. Besides the people in our circle right now, we probably have 10 members more - who aren't even attending weekly meetings with us.

"That's because they don't know who the remaining members are." Hoseok, a second cousin of ours from mom's side, explained. "If we could give them an introduction before we start the production, we can have new members in no time."

"When could we do that? Intramurals just ended. And October doesn't ha-" Jennie abruptly stopped herself. "Oh, wait. October has one event."

"United Nations month!" Lisa exclaimed in excitement. "Some of us can perform during pageant breaks."

"But Jennie and I are included in the pageant." Jimin added.

Jungkook raised his hand. "Uh, I'm included too." Then he jabbed his thumb to where Lisa was, "Lisa's my partner."

"Actually, I'm included too." Jin sheepishly grinned.

"Unfortunately, Roseanne's in on it as well." Jimin rolled his eyes at the mention of his sister, who was just sitting between me and Lisa quietly.

"It's not my fault I'm pretty." Rosie, our nickname for her, flipped her long brown hair before sneaking a glance at my brother - Jin, specifically.

I raised an eyebrow suggestively.

Jin chuckled at Rosie's remark, making the girl beside me smile. "So who's left?"

I raised my hand, along with Taehyung. Looking around the circle, I asked them in confusion. "You're all going to be in the pageant?"

"Namjoon and I volunteered to be in the tech booth." Yoongi simply said.

I looked at my brother in betrayal. He just shrugged. "Extra credit."
