chapter 26

━ { red flavor

The girls stretched as hip hop music filled the dance studio, Areum and Eunjeong sat on the floor, Nell and Lauren stretching their legs as Jinhee and Yumi stretched their arms. The six were about to do the first practice to prepare for the final battle. They haven't found out if they are in the Top 2 yet, but they wanted to be prepared. The glass door opened, Ms. Lee walked in carrying a thumb drive. The girls had only been practicing with the demo Seungwan sung for, they all crowded around the computer as she clicked on the file. Music filling the room.

"Excuse me." A student said interrupting Jinhee's English class, that someone turning out to be Jinyoung. Whom smiled at the teacher as he carried a black envelope, walking back to where Jinhee sat handing one to her than to Chaeyoung from Twice whom was in her class. He gave his little sister a thumbs up as the class cheered, the two opened the envelopes and glanced at each other before back at the cards.

As lunch came around, Meraki sat at their table all of the envelopes in the center as they watched Twice laugh and smile to each other. Yonggi came to the table and sat down throwing his card on the table as did the other boys, Yumi looked between Yonggi and Jihyo confused.

"You won?" She asked, Yonggi looked offended by her question before nodding.

"Obviously." He said, opening the envelope and showing the card with the time and date on it.

"But, so did Twice." Lauren said, BTS looked at the nine girls shocked and confused. Namjoon stood up, walking over to the group.

"We tied." He said, as the girls turned to him to which Jihyo shot up shocked.

"What?" She said, as he showed her their card. "Wow. So its a Top 3 battle now."

Nell texed away, Eunjeong scribbled in her notebook, Yumi and JungPD were reading over lyrics, Areum stretching on the floor along side Lauren, and Jinhee had her headphones in. Eunjeong stood up and sat next to Jinhee as the others continued as the school came to an end, looking over the younger's shoulder she spotted 'Final Showcase Demo' on her screen. Grabbing the younger's phone, taking the headphone cord out of the jack the music followed through the practice room. They turned to the youngest, as she stood up.

"Ms. Lee wanted me to sing the demo. She wasn't sure what song to choose so Hansool and Jinyoung helped me record it." She said, looking around trying to find an escape route.

"I'm glad she did. I wasn't sure if this song would suit you guys or not." JungPD said, a proud smile on his face as the door opene to the practice room. Nell gasped and rushed to him not fast eough as Lauren exclaimed.

"Taeyong?! As in NCT Taeyong?!" She said, and about collapsed if Areum didn't hold her up right.

"I-I-I can explain." nell stammered as Ms. Lee walked in, the song ended and she looked Taeyong up and down as he bowed to her.

"I see you are doig well." She addressed him before turning to the girls with a folder, handing each of them a piece of paper. "Here are lyrics for In The Same Place. You will each decide who gets what part. Seungwan was an angel and recorded the demo." She said, plugging in the thumb drive as Nell hit Taeyong on the arm.

The next two weeks were going to be crazy with practice and preparing for their final evaluations of the year.

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!

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.
