chapter two

━ { we want to win

The six were standing in the vocal room where they met, it was currently 3rd hour and Ms. Lee was sitting at her desk with her hands on each side of her head. The six kept their eyes downward, the door opened and the girls looked up to see a man with looks that made them want to faint, Ms. Lee still hasn't looked up knowing who it was.

"Jung PD, meet the girls. Whip them into shape." Ms. Lee looked up and sighed, Jung PD nodded before checking his watch.

"Go home and pack, it's Friday so we need to leave in a hour, pack clothes for two nights and two days. Tell your parents you are going on a MT." Jung PD said then walked out of the room, the girls looked at Ms. Lee confused.

"You heard him. You guys need to get over your egos and work together if you really want this. Don't even bother bringin your phones, there is no reception where we are going." Ms. Lee said then dismissed them, the girls walked out and headed down the stairs. Ringtones filled the school, students pulled their phones from their pockets and backpacks.

The Final Showcase logo filling the screen, a list of group names appeared fourteen different artist varying in gender and name. The girls exited the staircase walking to their lockers or classrooms.

Yumi went start to her locker taking out her backpack and looking around spotted Seungwan walking her way talking away with Namjoon the two walked to Yumi, and looked at her confused.
"Where are you going, we have lunch now." Seungwan said as Yumi closed her locker, placing an arm around her shoulder looking at the backpack.

"Oh, um. Some kind of MT." Yumi said, Namjoon raised his eyebrow confused as Seungwan nodded knowing what had happened the day before.

"Well, have fun with that. I'm sure everyone is thrilled about that." Seungwan said as they walked towards the main door, Namjoon behind them was still confused.

"Who? What." Namjoon said, the turned towards him and threw him a smile. "Yumi is part of a group now. Rag Tag team of underdogs." Seungwan said, Namjoon nodded in understanding as Yumi hugged Seungwan.

"I'll see you guys on Monday, hopefully no one dies this weekend." Yumi said heading out the main door towards the gate.

"Are they that bad?" Namjoon asked, Seungwan sighed crossing her arms.

"I'm pretty sure if they don't get along they aren't going to make it through the first round." Seungwan said turning around and walking to the cafeteria, as Areum passed them looking for a certain student whom was talking away with his friends.

"Hey Jihoon-shi. I won't be there after school, I'm not skipping it. I got permission." Areum said in front of his friends, he nodded and turned back to his friends. She walked away slightly irrated he didn't ask her why, pulling out her phone she checked her messages before leaving the school calling Jaehyuk whom picked up after the thrid ring.

"Yo yo." He said, she could here music playing the background.

"Yo, I'm not going to make it today." She stated heading to her bus stop, a sound of gasp went through the phone.

"Why? Are you dying or something?" He asked the sound of music slowly got quieter, Areum sat on the bench as the autumn air blew through her ponytail.

"No. Stupid thing for the competition. Ms. Lee wants us to go on a MT." Areum groaned as a bus pulled up, Jaehyuk sighed but she could hear the smile in his voice.

"Well. Have fun. Leave a note for your dad this time. Last time you went somewhere he called me twenty times every five minutes." Jaehyuk said then hung up, Areum sighed before starting a mental packing list.

Eunjeong on the hand was on the phone with her mom as she headed to the subway station, she had just told Danbi what was happening and was heading home to grab what she needed for the weekend.

"It's like a MT, our vocal coach and PD will be there." Eunjeong explained as she got in the subway train, taking a seat she glanced arounde train.

"AhI will grab a bag from storage then. Need anything in particular, any snacks or anything? I could grab some while you are on your way." Her mother said the sound of dishes being put away in the background.

"Thanks mom.I got to go. Love you." Eunjeong hung up after her mother replied just before the subway train took off, sending one message to Danbi about the trip. When the train arrived to Incheon station, she exited and was greeted with a million messages from Danbi and Jeonghun in their group message. Eunjeong smiled as she read the messages heading top side. The wind blew a short breeze, as she walked towards her house, eyes glued to her phone, her best friends going on animated about the trip.

Danbi: Thats cool though. I wish I could go on a trip. And miss Ms. Lee's class. But, no.

Jeonghun: Well someone is jealous. XD

Danbi: Of course I am have you seen her Producer?"

Jeonghun: No. Remember I'm at Seoul Arts.

Danbi: Oh yeah, anyways, he is like model/actor level.

Eunjeong: Ok. I am creeped out as how you know who our producer is considering we just met him for the first time today.

Jeonghun: Have you made it home, yet? Danbi go to class.

Danbi: Hey. Don't tell me what to do, and I have to anyways its Vocal Lessons now. Have fun, Eunjeong! Love you lots.

Eunjeong: Just got home. Love you too, Danbi!

Eunjeong unlocked the door and walked into the house the smell of food cooking caught her attention as she removed her shoes. A bag was already mostly packed in the living room as her mother danced around the kitchen, a smile growing on Eunjeong's face.

"Mom, I'm home." Eunjeong said, utting her backpack on the small table as her mother turned and greeted her daughter.

At the same time, Nell had just gotten home and was greeted by the maids and chef as she went to her room to pack, as much as she hated the thought of being stuck with those girls but, she had no choice really. She grabbed a small suitcase out of her walkin closet as her oldest brother, Shin walked in Nell put the suitcase on her bed and smiled at the older.

"Running away?" Shin asked as she went through her drawers, putting his hands in his pockets.

"No. A trip with girls from school." Nell said putting clothes neatly in the suitcase, as Shin nodded, the youngest brother Joon walked in and jumped on her bed.

"Since when do you go on spontaneous trips." Joon said looking at the baby of the family, as she rolled her eyes at him.

"Since, I want to win." Nell said going into her bathroom grabbing tolietries and putting them in a Captain America bag and placing in her suitcase noticing her brothers left, she zipped up the suitcase and went to change out of her uniform. Once she double checked she had everything she went to the living room and saw Joon watching a random show while sketching something.

"Let Father know I will be back Sunday night." Nell said before leaving the lonely feeling house, heading to the car where her driver was already waiting.

Lauren on the other hand was checking a list she made on the bus as she triple checked her bag, her mother was cooking in the kitchen. She zipped up the suitcase decorated in stickers, and went to change out of her uniform. After changing she checked the time and went into the kitchen grabbing a strawberry milk and sat on the counter where her mother could see her.

Her mother smiled at her youngest child as she continued making snacks for the trip, there was a knock on the door which surprised Lauren as anyone who delivers or visits often presses the doorbell that turns on a flashing light so her mother knows when someone is there. She hopped off the counter and went to the door opening it, she was greeted with a package at the door it was definitely heavier than her. She looked at the label and smiled and tried to pull the box inside when someone walked towards her door.

"Want some help?" Lauren nodded without looking up, the man picked up the package and followed Lauren inside. When she turned to thank him she felt her heart beat out of her chest and land on the floor.

"Um. Uh. Ah. Um. Th-thank you" Lauren muttered, Mark smiled and nodded before showing himself out he threw her one last smile before leaving the apartment.

"He lives in the building. Oh my. I'm late now." Lauren muttered then went to grab her suitcase and went to the kitchen as her mother finished packing the snacks in a bag for her.

Ashley sent a package for us.

Lauren signed, was her mother saw her sign Ashley a smile grew on her face wider than normal. Ashley, Lauren's older sister had been working in Paris for the past year. Lauren hugged her mother and kissed her cheek before heading out the door. Let the fun begin.

 

(author's note) SO MT time.

Chapter 40: Wow, I can't believe this journey is almost over. Last chapter was hilarious, who knew Nell had such a creative imagination. And this chapter, was very intense. We got to see how the girls have grown as individuals and as a group.
I can't believe Nayeon would do that, how low. And Jinyoung being an awsome older brother. As well as Meraki standing up for their leader, how sweet. I like how u incorporated a few love interests moments here and there.
Once again my compliments for the song choices. Not just for Meraki, but the playlist was awsome. And ending at a cliffhanger, wow.
Anyways...I'll look forward to the last chapter. I can't believe i just typed that. But yes the last chapter. I excited to see how u wrap things up for the girls of Meraki. FIGHTING!

ugh this story's come a long way and i'm lowkey tearing up bc it's already the end ;'( honestly, i've loved each chapter, no matter the length, and i've loved how the girls grew as both individuals and a whole group. <3

Chapter 38: I am soooo, very very sorry! i've completely forgotten to comment, sorry... Ivhave read them all like day after u posted them, but i just forgot to comment. So let me comment no since i have time.
First off, I cant believe IKON believed what Nayeon said. I mean didn't the two groups exchange contacts. And fingertip was performed, I honestly enjoy that song when it first came out.
Next chapter, I really love the interation between the girls of Meraki and the boys of BTS. I never hand intentions of them bonding this much when making Yumi, but I really love it. And the fact that the students know not to disturb them is amazing. i still don't get the relationship between Mark and Lauren. I mean great hes developing some sort of feelings towards her, but why until now??? Ugh, maybe im just overthinking...yeah ill just shut up. Still Laurens reactions when they are by themselves is very adorable. Dang almost all of Meraki is dating by this point.
Moving on. Wow! A TOP 3 battle for the Final! Honestly I couldn't decide who I wanted Meraki to go up against. Twice is their obvious rival, but BTS is their friend and totally deserves the win. So when reading that chap I was pleased with the results. But now Im worried how thats gonna work out. I mean its gonna be kinda hard for Nayeon to try and cheat right, so this might be an actual fair battle. I hope. And we finally see Taeyong show up infront on the girls. Someone has some explaining to do, I smell a sleep over happening, no?
ANd th last chapter was sweet. Especially with Yumi finding her brothers signatures on the same wall. I cant believe this story is almost over. Im so looking foward to your choice in songs for the final for all three groups. As well as how youll incorporate all the girls family and friends who might show up for the final. SO until then Ill wait for the next chapter and hopefully ill be able to comment earlier than now. Sorry about that and see you!

Chapter 33: Two new chapters, yay! Wow, poor Jinhee. The girls and Hansol must have been very shocked. At least Ms Lee managed to calm down her parents and convince them to let her stay. How funny, Kihyun ditched Twice to go on a date with Eunjeong. Poor Jooheon, at least he'll get a meal.

OMG! Yoongi planned his confession out with the guys. I like how Yumi was getting kinda irritated at BTS for just handing her roses without explaining. My favorite pat was Nell stopping Yoongi midway his confession just so the girls could all be there to listen. Poor guy, the pressure he have if he had written a song for her, wow. At least the two are together now.

That 'Of Course' game was fun but intense. Poor Lauren, dont wirry youll get back at her someday. Next battle is a rematch between IKON and Meraki. The groups will probably be all smiles and friendly despite going at it again. The Twice vs BTS battle will be very interesting to see. And the most worrisome. A rematch with Twice would leave vlosure, but a match with BTS would be interesting especially since both groups are close friends.

I can't believe this story is close to its end. It's been great reading it and I'll jeep reading til u finsh. My favorite concept...hmmm. As of right now, all of what Monsta X (Shownu specially) has done is my favorite. Plus BTS, blood,sweat,and tears. Min Yoongi and Jimin had me spazing for days.

Chapter 31: Ooh~ love interest time. Eunjeong and Kihyun...hmmm, that seems like an interesting reationship. If twice were to find out, I wonder how they'd take it. And Nell and Taeyong have been a thing for a month now? WOW...well at least well find out thru flash backs. So much going on with the love interest, u could say half the girls are now in a relationship. Now for the other half to get things going too...soon...hopefully...

OMG! I like no kidding actually imagined the girls performing STAY like this. I legit almost screamed when reading that part, I couldn't since I'm on the bus and surrounded by ppl. Haha, well I look foward to what's to come. I can't believe it's almost top 4, the final.is getting closer and closer.
