"Kallia Trang! Song Stephanie! Delta!"

"Kim Byungsoo! Yao Gareki! Nishino Nana! NuLevel!"

"Gong Hye Joo! Hye In! NuEvolution!"

The artists gathered behind the stage and was touched by the fanchants. Even though they haven't debut yet, but they gained so much supporters. Tiffany and Kalli couldn't help but teared up, while Nana was holding in her tears. Then Hye In caught Gareki staring at someone, she look at where he was looking and smiled.

"aigoo, Gareki-ssi. You need to learn how to not get caught" Hye In and pinches he's cheeks.

"ah noona!" Gareki look away blushing, Hye In couldn't help but laugh.

"Hye In ssi, please go up the stage now" the staff told her, she gave a nod and pats Gareki's shoulder before going up the stage.Everyone was awed by her confidence, the fanchants got louder and change it to Hye In's.

"Gong Hye Joo! saranghaneun Gong Hye In!"

Hye In waves at the fans before the music started. The other's went back to their waiting room to monitor Hye In's performance. Evey second passed they got nervouse. Even Nana couldn't sit still, with Byungsoo comforting both of them. Then a few minutes before Hye In's performance ended, Delta was called to standby.  Once Hye In comes down from the stage she was trembling and cried, Tiffany tried to comfort both Hye In and Kalli. Kalli looked really nervous and about to cry. Then Delta's manager ushered them to go on stage while he took Hye In back to the waiting room. They took their position and look at eachother and mouthing 'fighting'.

"Kallia! Saranghae!!!" a fanboy shouted, Kalli let out a laugh and nodded at him. When the song started, Kalli changed. She was serious, about everything. Tiffany remembering her days as a trainee and it was worth it, now she's on stage. Kalli surprised Tiffany by her chrams, she wink and smiled to every fans she eye contact with. Tiffany felt like a proud mother. 

Meanwhile in NuLevel's waiting room, it was quiet. Even the noisy and daredevil Gareki was nervously monitoring Delta, a few minutes later Hye In comes in with a new make up and clothes for NuLevel's debut single. But Hye In won't be going up the stage with them, since she's just a featured artist. She will appear at the middle of the performance.

When it was NuLevel's turn, Gareki notices that Nana was trembling like crazy. He nudged Byungsoo and told him that Nana was trembling. 

"You okay?" Byungsoo asked Nana, she held her hands to stop herself from trembling and nodded. Gareki never saw Nana like that and felt guilty for teasing her before. Nana took a peek at the crowd and she gasp.

"okaasan..." 

"your mom is here?" Byungsoo asks looking out too. Nana's trembling became worst. Gareki cupped his face and look at her with full of worry and seriousness. Nana was about to slap his hand before she notices his expression.

"Nana, don't worry. You trained longer than i did. I know you, you're good!" Gareki convinced her, Nana's eyes were teary but she daps it away, not wanting to smear the make up. Nana felt a little better and felt as if she was protected. So does Gareki, he feel like he protected her and she kind of remind him of his younger sister. 

"i'm proud of ya" Byungsoo whispered to him when he saw Nana calming down. Then it was time, Kalli and Tiffany hugged eachother after going down the stage. 

"NuLevel fighting!" Kalli did a fighting gesture at them and nodded in return. Nana gave her sheepish smile before going up. When they were in their positions, Gareki and Byung glances at Nana to check if she was ok. Suddenly, Nana did a heartshape on top of her head and laughed. Gareki and Byungsoo smiled at eachother.

"Nana! Joker-G! Blane! NuLevel!!" The fanchants dissapeared when the music blast in and they started to dance and sing.

But now they are in Delta's apartment with Hye In, to get ready for Kalli's special birthday surprise. Nana wanted to help, but Byungsoo nags her to go and rest. But being as stubborn as ever, Nana decided to help with cooking. Byungsoo and Nana did the cooking while Gareki, Hye In and their managers help decorate the place.

Delta got home at late in 3 am after interviews and more interviews.  Kalli was walking like a zombie, Tiffany helped her walk straight and not run into a wall. With one hand Tiffany keyed in their apartment lock, Kalli opened her eyes due to the bright lights coming from their apartment.

"i did....i think?" Tiffany said pretending not to know anything. Then someone turned of the lights, Kalli shot her eyes opened in surprised.

"unni!!!" Kalli shouted, silence. Kalli started to feel nervous. Kalli expanded her hands to find a way to the living room and switch on the lights. But half way there, she felt she pokes something and she heard a snort.

"Surprise!!!!" The lights as they shouted it. Kalli look at them in shock.

"everyone...you guys did this?" Kalli asked pointing at the lights and notices a banner saying 'Happy Birthday Maknae!!'. 

Kalli look at them, her eyes were wet. Tiffany grinned.

"kamsahamnida!" She thanked them as she cried, Hye In, Tiffany and even Nana hugged her.

"Saengil chukahae maknae ya~" Hye In said and ushered her to make a wish.
