The cold night breeze made Yoojin to rub both of her hands together to warm them up. She sighed as she waited for the principal of her school to come up to the stage to start the night. Tonight was the night where the school’s dance competition was held. It has nearly been 4 months ever since Got7 and 6Mix practiced over and over again to pass this competition leading them to the nationals.

Before, everyone said that the results would be obvious because of Got7 and 6Mix’s popularity and liked by many students, however ever since Yoojin’s arrival everything turned upside down. The fan club messed up and everyone fought for the side they believed was right, it led many to become antis and the amount of fans that left was pretty great. Yoojin couldn’t help but to feel guilty because of that, she was the reason for it, she knows it and she knows Got7 and 6Mix knows it too.

Yoojin wouldn’t be able to know what to do if her friends didn’t go through this competition, she would really blame herself. Yoojin knows how much they really wanted to enter the nationals; they practiced for many hours just to go through. Everything would be a waste if they don’t get to enter. Yoojin bit her lips; she remembered what JB told her a 4 nights ago.

 He told her to worry, he told her that she shouldn’t blame herself, no one was to blame and that she did nothing wrong. “We chose to be your friend and the fans chose to leave. But if they left because of you, I can assure you that I and the other members do not blame you” JB was alone with Yoojin that night.

Mark was out with his mum as they try to handle some business matters with their company. JB wanted to wait for Mark and Yoojin couldn’t help but to spew out all of her thoughts that she kept in. JB hugged the poor girl; a small laughter escaped his mouth. He thought that Yoojin was really innocent, no wonder his two friends fell for her so easily.

“The school competition is important and I would really like to get through, but then I’m looking forward to that competition because then I would be able to know who stayed beside Got7 and 6Mix through the hard times. The competitions would show me the difference between the real fans to the fake ones” JB gave her a small smile and she returned it.

The night finally started, the female group started the night off first. 6Mix was the 5^th group, the second last one. Yoojin cheered loudly when her friends performed. The crowd was doing the same thing and jumping and dancing with the rhythm. Yoojin could recognize the ‘fans’ that she heard was talking bad about 6Mix; they were cheering and singing along. Even the antis were enjoying the stage, how can you not? 6Mix grinned and smiled throughout their performance, their nervousness barely showed, they were truly talented.

Sara’s group was the last girl group to perform and Yoojin had to be honest here, they were really good. During Sara’s solo dance, Sara’s eyes never left Yoojin during that 30 second that seemed like longer than it was supposed to be.

Even though it was supposed to be intimidating Yoojin couldn’t help but to feel a small pain in her heart as she watched Sara. There was something about Sara that looked so off, she looked so tired, so lifeless.

Like the rest of the girls in the audience Yoojin was going crazy when Got7 finally came up. Yugyeom couldn’t help but to feel second-hand embarrassment when he saw Yoojin choke on her own spit as she canted along with the other IGOT7’s. He earned an icy glare from that stupid noona.

Got7 acted as if they have been on stage over a million of times, they seemed so comfortable on stage. They dance flawlessly, even mucked around a bit like they do during dance practice. Yoojin was grinning so much that she felt as if was about to rip. Her heart did a little jump when Mark ended their performance with a flip. When he looked up he instantly looked over to the girl that had open widely and eyes the sized of saucers. Mark didn’t even realise that he was laughing until Bambam asked if he was crazy.

 ‘For Yoojin? Yes, I’m crazy for that little dork’

“Lucky you didn’t hurt yourself” JB patted his back when they walked off the stage. “Same here, I was pretty scared to be honest” Mark laughed awkwardly. He grabbed a water bottle of the snack table in front of the male group tent.

Everyone in the tent had their own little place to prepare before going back to stage and a place to go back to after their performance. It was a waiting room, only it was outside and it wasn’t a room, instead it was a tent.

“But you’ve already practiced that move hundreds of times already, how can you be scared?” Youngjae mumbled to himself, but it was too loud so the others heard.

“It’s still scary Youngjae-ah. Imagine flipping and jumping in thin air, you need a lot of courage and trust to your own self to pull off those moves. One mistake could lead to a serious injury” Jackson answered, being a fellow martial-art tricker with Mark, he understood the troubles.

Youngjae whispered an apology before sitting down on one of the vacant plastic chair that was next to the pole that Bambam was leaning on. He was breathless and tired like the other members. Everyone was also still trying to take in that they performed on stage, even if it was a lot small than the stage others perform on it was a big step for Got7. The members didn’t need words; they all know that everyone was scared for the final results.

Everyone in the audience had four tokens, two blue and two red. Red was for the female groups whilst the blue is for the males. Everyone lines up to enter the room that has 12 boxes, all labelled with the group that performed that night. The audience than place their token into the two male and female groups that they want like to represent in the nationals. The teachers and deputies and other school staff were also voting.

Yoojin bit her lip hard, hands clasped together and she tried her very best to calm her racing heart. already half of the male groups have been announced that they didn’t make it through. 3 groups remained and Got7 was one of them. The principal was enjoying seeing the audience and the groups look so anxious and nervous.

 “2PM…” He started off, startling the group. The members took a step forward and looked down, waiting impatiently for a ‘congratulations, you’ve passed’ or an ‘I’m sorry’ from the principal.

“Congratulations lads!!” the principal clapped, smiling brightly as she watched the boys hugging together sharing the joyful moment before rushing off the stage

. Got7 looked back to their hyungs, still clapping proudly. No matter how happy they were for 2PM the pressure suddenly became even more heated, there was only one spot left. Jr grabbed the hands of Jokwon, a member of 2am- the other male group. He grinned up at Jr, mouthing ‘good luck’

“Same goes for you Got7! I hope you make our school proud!” the principal blurted out of nowhere once the cheers died down which then became even bigger right afterwards. Jackson and Bambam looked at each other confused; they still didn’t get the fact that they got through. Yugyeom kindly explained it to his hyungs who started to dance with glee.

Yoojin who was watching the two laughed her head out, those two never changes. Dumb and Dumber.

Jukyung and the other 6Mix girls ran to congratulate their friends, congratulating them. “Make sure you come back with good news!” Jackson shouted back to his friends. The principal heard him and looked through the envelope that says the girl group winners.

 “6Mix go join your friends!” He really had a weird way to announce winners.

 “Pardon?” Lena asked.

 “You’re also through!” He smiled.

Yoojin started to scream as soon as she heard that. She was so happy for both of her group of friends, she felt like a proud mother. 6Mix couldn’t stop thanking and bowing to the crowd and the principal before racing down the tent where Got7 was waiting.

Cecilia left the group and went through the crowd and pulled Yoojin with her, “you’re coming with me” Cecilia apparently begged the head manager of the night so that Yoojin could enter the tent. No one from the crowd was supposed to enter backstage unless they were performing that night. With the help of Cecilia, Yoojin was able to enter

Jisoo enveloped Yoojin the moment they saw each other, the two girls jumped together happily. “I still can’t believe it!” Jisoo squealed. Yoojin ruffled her hair, “you guys deserve it. I swear I never doubted you guys, I knew you were going to win. Now you guys better do good in the nationals okay? Get that trophy and money too, let’s share the award together, hmm?”

JB who was walking passed poked her side, “Yah, it wasn’t just a long time ago when you keep saying that we might loose and you now you say you never doubted us? Pssshhh, liar”

“I doubted the fans not you!” Yoojin corrected him before clinging onto his arms, “sharing is caring Bummie…” JB pushed her head away and continued to walk, leaving Yoojin to pout like a little kid.

Bambam high fived her as he followed JB, “Congrats Bammie!” He just nodded and didn’t look back.

“What’s wrong with him?”

“He said he was going to check the other group that passes” Mark answered as he appeared out of nowhere, arm s around her waist. Yoojin pinched him so he let go, only to place it around her body but this time around her shoulder.

“He is most likely to check if Sara is going to pass or not. He’s really close with her these days. He talks to her more that he talks to you” Lena added before excusing herself to join JB and Bambam.

 It was true, Bambam have been around Sara more than Yoojin. He tells her that he likes her and Yoojin rejected him but he still continued to like her even though he acts like he doesn’t. Mark now knows about Bambam’s feelings for Yoojin. He first caught on with the awkward aura that Yoojin and Bambam always had when they’re alone or next to each other, they were being obvious that something happened.

Bambam confessed his own feelings since Mark kept on asking. After hearing the news Mark didn’t like it one bit. He told Bambam to back off; he was pretty straight forward that he wanted Yoojin all to himself. Talk about selfishness.

The group also found out about their ‘relationship’, three of them- Jr, Jackson and Bambam included didn’t like it as much. The other members told them to wait till the Mark’s engagement is gone, because it was being rude to Sara other than that the group was totally fine with it.

Except for Jackson who liked to became a third wheeler and ruin their moment which always lead to Mark hitting him. Jackson always liked attention from others anyways, but Yoojin’s attention for Jackson was his favourite.

She never judges him and even plays along whenever he jokes around. He liked that, he liked her, only as a friend though. Jackson also understands how Mark fell for her so easily, because there were some moments when he had to question his feelings for Yoojin. She was a deadly girl.

Yoojin left earlier, the four groups needed to stay behind anyways. The head of music and arts gathered them together to discuss what was needed for the nationals. She told them what the needed to prepare for, the deadline, the setting etc. She told them everything they needed to know. Since all of the four groups already have back-up plans for the nationals they didn’t really feel the pressure when the head told them that its in 2 months’ time. A few weeks after they come back from winter break, a few days before the school year finishes – that was the D-day. They just needed to focus and practice hard even during the holidays.

“Ah, obviously this would be the final groups. I already knew it” Chansung, a member of 2PM leaned back his chair and stretched his arms cockily. “Yah, what are you saying? Stop playing around. So arrogant, aigoo” Wooyoung, his co-member kicked Chansung’s chair nearly creating it to fall over but Chansung was quick and straightened it back up. “I was just kidding!” He defended himself but no one was listening to him, not even his dongsaengs.

“The good thing is that everyone here is already so close with one another. It’s a good thing so we could help each other” Cecilia looked around the room and everyone one was friends with each other. The other girl group that passed was none other than Miss A, another group of seniors like 2PM. “we’ve been friends for a long time already, helping each other is a given” Fei, a member of Miss A shrugged before eating a cookie from Jr.

“Will you guys be in the singing competition too? Or are you guys just going to do dance choreography from an already made up music?” Jun.K asked the youngsters, he already knows that Miss A was going to do a cover, just like 2PM.

 “Jr and Youngjae prepared a song but we don’t really know if it’s good enough. We have a back-up plan anyways. I’m just scared that we’ll make our decision too late and mix the choreography together during the night” JB made a face just thinking about it, he really didn’t want to think about messing up their performance.

 “Show us both of the performance and I’ll judge which one is better, or you could just pick the one your most comfortable with”

“I bet there will be next year too. Do a cover next year and perform your composed song next year when you have more experience. If you know what I mean” Min, another Miss A member suggested before looking over to 6Mix, “you guys are doing a cover right?”

Nayeon nodded, “Cecilia and Lena changed some of the beats to become more of our style”

“Sounds good”

☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

Mark arrived home, he was tired and just wanted to fall into deep slumber but the moment he stepped foot into his home he raced to Yoojin’s room and barged inside. She was already sleeping even though she promised him that she will wait until he comes home. What a liar

“I’m so happy!!!” Mark squealed like a little girl before jumping on top of Yoojin’s laying body. Ms Baek went win Mrs Tuan to Busan to do more business stuff for 3 days. They will be back tomorrow, so Yoojin was with Mark for two whole days again.

Even though Yoojin and Mark have been together for 2 days alone and even more than that Yoojin couldn’t help but to notice it felt so much different from before. Mark was a lot more nosier and hard to handle, not like his hermit-like self that stayed in his room.

Yoojin’s head hurts a lot, she had been shouting and screaming nonstop on the very top of her lungs and the music blared loudly from the gigantic speakers that surrounded the place. The bright lights that decorated the stage didn’t help her head ache either. She was hell tired and Mark was really starting to annoy her.

“We’re actually through! I can’t wai--- ummppphhhhh”

Yoojin pushed his head onto the bed, muffling him. Mark smacked her hand away and stood up, “what do you think you’re doing?!!” He poked Yoojin, eyes on fire.

She waved him off dismissively; “you were too loud” Her voice was hoarse and slurred tiredly. Mark suddenly felt bad, she promised him that she will cheer louder than anyone and she really did and there he was annoying her which she tried to get some rest.

 Yoojin sensed his gaze on her and she woke up, fully this time. She was still not used to it when Mark feels bad, it was weird and uncomfortable. His eyes always creamed of guilt and he would go all warm and mushy. It always made Yoojin to fall more for him.

“Congratulations Mark Tuan” she smiled at him, her voice still scratchy. Mark was about to say something but she cut him off. “Let’s celebrate with some ice cream yeah? There’s still some left in the fridge. Let’s finish it all tonight”

Yoojin piled up the chocolate ice-cream into the cone that she forced Mark to hold. “It’s for you” She clapped her hands after finishing. Mark loved ice cream but his face was still sad and dark. “I’m fine stupid. It’s my own fault anyways “Yoojin reassured him. Mark told her to eat ice cream with him another time and instead made honey tea for her.

Both of the sat crossed legged on the carpet inside Mark’s games room. He plugged his USB into the TV and the choreography that Got7 had in mind played on the big screen. He had asked her what she thought about, what they could improve on, the flaws and such. He played multiple videos and explained to Yoojin about the entire process of the nationals. Yoojin always replied with a nod, a head shake or a short answer since Mark told her not to talk too much even though he had bombarded her with so many questions.

 Mark played the song that Jackson was composing and laid down the carpet. “You’re tired right? Go to sleep” Yoojin eyed the clock; it was 3 in the morning. They have been chatting for 4 hours already and both of them didn’t even realize.

Mark shook his head, he knew that Yoojin could barely go back to sleep after waking up. If he knew better, Yoojin would most likely fall at least at 6 or 7 when her body can’t take it anymore. Mark didn’t want her to be the only one awake inside the mansion. He forced his eyelids to open, deciding to sleep when Yoojin sleeps.

Mark told Yoojin Miss A since she asked him about their relationship. Before Yoojin left she saw Min and him hugging, they all looked so closed together. “They’re our older sister” Mark told her. Yoojin nodded, she knew it. That’s how Got7 always explained the people their close with- our older brother/sister, our close friend, my childhood best friend. It seemed like they were closed to everyone, especially Jackson. He knows everyone.

Mark showed her pictures of him and Miss A, to show the closeness of their friendship so Yoojin wouldn’t get any wrong idea and won’t be jealous. Yoojin never told him that she was jealous because she really wasn’t, but it did feel nice when Mark was sincerely trying it explain to her that they were just friends.

 A photo came up with Mark holding Min’s puppy and Yoojin cooed nonstop. “Aww, so cute!” Yoojin, who have been quiet the entire time, squealed in delight. Her voice was finally going back to normal.  “You like puppies?” Mark questioned, Yoojin nodded enthusiastically.

“Who doesn’t? I always wanted one. I had a kitten before, wait no, it was Mrs Jang’s kitten but I treated it as mine. I prefer puppies over kittens though. I just love every animal in general”

Mark grinned happily, he had an idea on how to say thank you to Yoojin. He was thankful to Yoojin for a lot of things, for cheering him and his friends on, the fact that she was always caring about him and thinking of others before herself. Mark was truly grateful for meeting her, even though he didn’t quite like her at the start.

“Sleep. We’re going somewhere tomorrow” He shut his phone off making Yoojin whine as she was in the middle of looking through his pictures.

“You can look at them another time”

Yoojin stood up, “you can go to sleep. I’m not sleepy yet. I’ll just clean the house for a little bit then go when I’m tired” Mark shook his head and pulled her down next to him. The two started to blame each other because Yoojin’s tailbone felt like it was broken when she dropped harshly on the carpet.

“If you didn’t stand up then-“

“If you let me go, then I wouldn’t get hurt”

They continued to bicker until they ran out of words. Mark started to laugh and so did Yoojin. “It really does hurt though” Yoojin hit Mark’s chest while she rubbed her buttocks with her other hand. “I’m sorry” Mark acknowledged that it was his fault; he pulled her down too strongly.

Mark forced Yoojin to lay down beside him, arms wrapped around her torso. Mark pulled down a blanket from the couch that was in front of them. He always kept a blanket on his sofa since he always falls asleep whenever he plays video games. No one is ever bothered to go back to their room to sleep after playing hours of games

He fixed the blanket and made sure that Yoojin was warm. She watched him and frowned, “what about you? You’ll freeze!” She tried her best to share her blanket but Mark had her hands pin down. “I’m already hot enough, I won’t freeze” he sent her wink, earning a kick on the shin right afterwards.
