"Areum unnie!" Lauren caled with Eunjeong close behind her, the rebel stopped her walking waiting for the two. School had just ended and the Top 3 were being pulled into a meeting about the Final Showcase, the three entered the room, Taehyung and Jimin close behind as Tzuyu and Chaeyong sat with the rest of Twice. 

"So, for the first time ever we have a Top 3 battle," The principle said with GOT7 standing behind him, "Pre-sale tickets are already sold out. Tickets go up tomorrow, so I expect it to sell out. With that being said, I expect everyone to be practicing and giving it your all." The groups nodded. "Good. The scouts thaat will be sitting with our previous winners are, JYP, Pledis, SM, YMC, C&J, Dream Tea, YG, CUBE and a couple others. SO, put your hearts out on the stage. Also, if you are not in advanced classes for that of your choosing you will be placed in them if you win." smiles grew on their faces. "Fourth years will be admitted into the music major of choice without a test." Smiles became wider. "With that being said, you will each give a special stage of songs that came out in 2008. Choose wisely. That is all." The students all bowed as he left GOT7 relaxing against the wall as the groups gathered around their respected leader.

The girls all stretched as they stepped out of the van taking in the fresh air and the fields. They were back in JungPD's hometown, a well needed detachment from the outside world as the Final grew closer. 

Yumi turned her camera on as the others began getting ready to practice as they stood on the edge of the field, she snapped pictures of Ms. Lee and JungPD discussing something as the others did vocal warm ups. Jinhee and Eunjeong did vocal warm ups together, as Lauren and Nell were listening to the demo as Nell read over the lyrics.

The girls sat outside, snacking on the fruits that sat infront of them their eyes on the stars above them as they in silencce.

"Taeyong and I are dating." Nell said, the girls turned to look at her and chuckled.

"We know. It was so obvious." Areum said, putting a piece of apple in .

"So is your crush." Yumi called the rebel out whom choked on the fruit, getting her back patted by Lauren.

"W-wh-what?" The smallest sputtered, trying to stop coughing.

"You like Jihoon-sunbae." Jinhee stated, from the other side of Yumi.

"I-I-I do not." Areum said, hiding her blushing cheeks.

"Your eyes and lyrics say differently." Eunjeong said, smiling at the third year whom groaned in annoyance.

"You are allowed to have feelings Areum-ah." Nell said, turning her attention back to the night sky. "Do you think we can win this?" They all looked at the sky releasing deep breaths as they all thought about what could come out of all of this.

"A promise is a promise." An older Hansol said as he stood in the line to get through sercuity, Jinhee by his side as the others stood behind him. He glanced down to her hand where a white gold ring sat on the wrong hand.

"He did get first for how many weeks?" Areum poked into their conversation turning to Jihoon whom was distracted by demos on his phone, she glared at him before hitting his arm, gaining the older's attention.

"I think it was 4, on all three broadcasts." Yoongi chimed obviously siding with the younger male, as Yumi was on the phone with someone nagging them.

"You did promise to move it, if he got an all-kill." Eunjeong called out to the younger two from her spot with Lauren nodding along beside her, Kihyun talking away with his friend on the phone as Mark scrolled on his phone. 

"Come on, Grim Reaper." Nell teased as Taeyong smiled by her side.

"Plus, they said they would realease it even before you move it." He said, smiling down at the younger girl as he handed his passport and ticket up, Jinhee following his lead. 

"Hansol and I engaged?" Jinhee asked in disbelief as Nell finished her reimagining of the future.

"Jihoon and I?" Areum scoffed in disblief, as everyone rolle dtheir eyes.

"An all-kill for 4 weeks, insane. Last I cheked he isn't in EXO." Lauren said, the girls all poking holes in Nell's dream.

"Fine. But, when it comes true you all owe me a 'thank you'." The girls rolled their eyes at the princess.
