SPECIAL CHAPTER #02.

 Y.T.T. / ˗ˏˋ THE FINAL STRETCH ˎˊ˗

holiday edition!

'Twas the night before Christmas at the Y.T.T. dorm;

not one sound was made, which was not of the norm.

Lya was hanging up decorations with care,

While she sighed and hoped for Naomi to be there.

"Lya, darling. You know Naomi can't come."

She stared at Eight while she spoke, "I know, I'm not dumb."

Eight shrugged it off while helping Gummy with wrapping

the gifts that were bought while everyone was yapping.

"Eight, my dear, what kind of wrapping style is that?"

She stared at the leader, "You do you, or else I'll hit you with a bat."

Gummy backed off while Eight kept on,

however their work was still undone.

Dani had gone into the bathroom to wee,

whilst Joyce was left alone to cook with little glee.

Joyce began to talk casually to herself,

"Ah, Dani, you have a bladder the size of an elf."

Connie had gone to visit her parents,

leaving Rei and Yeonyul to set up the presents.

"Rei, you punk, don't put that one there."

"Dammit, Yeonyul, you're so unfair."

"What do you mean? Those are all lies!"

"Please, peasant, you're not all that wise."

As Yeonyul was prepared to make another comeback,

Gummy shouted "You two, your friendship is wack!"

Dani had appeared back from the toilet,

"It's almost Christmas, you guys. Stop fighting and forget it."

The two feuding members rolled their eyes

before walking away in utter despise.

The five other members were left to do all,

however a bang had sounded a fall.

"What the heck happened," questioned Lya in fright.

"Was it a pan? The food? Oh, what was the sight?"

"I'm sorry I dropped my phone," said Joyce with a sigh.

"Oh gosh, if I were you, I would so die!"

As the final present was placed under the tree with delight,

the food Joyce had made was put away for the night.

The remaining five members fled to their beds,

hoping tomorrow would be another memory for each of their heads.

 

Tomorrow came quickly, marking Christmas Day,

However the girls were still sleeping away.

 

The clock suddenly struck one in the afternoon,

hopefully the girls will wake up soon.

 

It was soon five at night on that December day,

and lucky enough the girls were all up, I must say.

They quickly traded presents for their own secret Santa,

while their managers were seen drinking some fizzy orange Fanta.

Rie had gotten Joyce, and to her luck,

Joyce liked the present, yet Yeonyul said 'yuck.'

"Yeonyul, you're just jealous," Rie stated with a hairflip.

Yeonyul rolled her eyes, "Someone get me a whip."

"I have a whip," shouted Lya too happily,

Everyone looked at her as she got up proudly.

She patted her skirt down, her smile bright as day,

before hitting the whip and hitting the nae nae.

The members all laughed at the maknae's humor,

Yet Yeonyul still thought of Rie as a tumor.

Gummy gave her two presents to Eight

as their face of the group said it was fate.

Eight quickly gave Gummy her gift in return,

while their virtual fire on TV continued to burn.

Lya gave her quite large present to Yeonyul,

while the latter gave Dani a necklace with a jewel.

Dani smiled before giving hers to Lya,

while Joyce exchanged with Connie before she left for China.

After all the presents were open with care,

They began a friendly game of truth or dare.

"Rie," Eight had first said, and the latter picked dare,

"I dare you to call a random number and say 'I love you, take care.'"

Rie laughed before choosing a contact on her phone,

and within ten minutes, Rie was already done.

"Who did you call? I want to know!"

"That a secret, but your're next to go!"

Rie asked Joyce the usual question,

as Joyce chose dare with no hesitation.

"This dare will be for later," said Rie with a smirk.

"The dare consists of a win and and maybe a twerk."

Joyce's eyes widened at her member in fear,

"When a win happens, hopefully you won't remember, dear."

Rie laughed as Joyce asked Dani,

Dani grinned as she chose dare like the many.

"I dare you to call our dance instructor and say 'you're hot.'

Dani tilted her head, "But what if I did before, do I still do it or not?"

The girls stared at Dani with big and round doe eyes

before skipping her completely, as she watched her members let out sighs.

The game continued on until midnight had struck,

however their manager let out an 'Oh, ."

"What's wrong, you guys? Did something happen?"

"I just remembered you girls have a recording session at ten.

So, sleep early and rest up for tomorrow,

and make sure you dress nicely, don't look like a crow."

The girls looked at their manager before shrugging,

before sharing one last Christmas day hugging.

As everyone left the living room, their presents just there,

Their managers looked at each other, "We need to teach those girls to clean here and there."

They looked at the mess as they sighed in despair

before retreating to their room where it was more fair.

And so the girls had a great Christmas despite

their lack of promotions, yet it would change the next night.

With that the dorm fell quiet, which was a calming sight,

Merry Christmas to you, and have a great night!

Chapter 58: to be quite honest, i never got to read the last few updates since last year I had been taking a break from aff. however, now i took the time to read the last few chapters and i really appreciate the amount of thought you put into your story.
i like that there are parts that focus on each individual member since it was easier getting to know (or remembering) the girls like this. i also liked the way rie's and yeonyul's conflict was resolved, with rie helping yeonyul to get into the hospital on time. this is also the first time that a story progressed until my characters' love interest came into the picture (often, apply fics are discontinued very soon - i don't blame anyone since i've been guilty of that, too, but it really made me appreciate your dedication to this project). so when zico and yeonyul talked on the phone, my heart stopped for a bit even though i had been a bit crushed about him trying to get back with joyce before.
another favorite moment of mine was when jungkook asked rie why he isn't like jin hyung to her.
ngl, i really don't like reading about 'sensitive topics' - thank you for writing the warning for this chapter. but i like the slightly hopeful open end. i was kinda rooting for jongsuk and dani after he got mentioned in, like, the first chapters.
overall i think that the finale is a great way to wrap the story up properly and i'm very happy that you invested so much time into the story!

Annyeong~! There is no way for me to make up for the time that passed but I just wanted to say that I'll keep reading your stories and I'm trying to be active again! It's just that I'm still on chapter 15, yes I'm re-reading everything for it all to make sense to me ><
I had a lot of things going on, and old stories on aff made me go back to those times and I was trying to keep myself out of it but I can't, I need to read ytt's final and eight is not at fault that based her on something that now is ruined ._. Neither you have any fault and I need to think about others a little, I would be sad in your shoes that my readers aren't saying anything so here I am, imma start commenting from where I missed just that is taking me a while to get to chapter 31 and from there to the end, but I will do it even if you already finished it by then I'm still leaving my comments :)
Thank you once again for being the forever ever lasting author that I don't deserve to meet but I'm serious when I say you are the only one that never gave up despite everything <3 you are the best! and I'm really sorry that for the first time I was the one that disappeared first and that you didn't deserve... I'm really sorry about that.

Chapter 55: H E L P. this was amazing. and i know i might sound redundant since this has become some kind of set phrase of mine when talking about your chapters but ,, sigh it's so good. at first I didn't really know where it was going, my poor concon. hopefully now that she knows what was missing she'll find a way to let them know. it's never too late, anyway.

Chapter 53: dear longest author of applyfics that i know and love :) i know I have no way to make you stay because a decision is a decision and im rather sure you deliberated about it for a long long time the way we know you.
I'm really sorry I havent helped you for the past months. I was really irresponsible and inactive around aff. I must say I understand your attempt at applying to applyfics because that is a sort of quick way to evade your busy life and write something you would root and ship and so on, I totally understand.
Its hard to explain why it took me so long to comment because I had a post-it note on my laptop saying "YTT!" to remind me that whenever I got a free time I have a lot to be updated on! Its not that I dont read, I do, just that on phone and it just seems so hard to comment properly on phone that I always tell myself you deserve better so I will comment properly when i'm on laptop... But its really hard to be on laptop nowadays ;; i'm going to let you know part of it so i'm moving cities again so i'm looking for a new home, I got an injury on my knee and shoulder that I have been sleeping by taking painkillers because I cant take time off work now that I need to rent another place in a bigger City so YES i'm feeling like an old hag XD everytime I get home I end up taking the medicine and falling asleep and that is pretty much What I can explain that have kept me away and unable to properly present you with my huge comments like I used to!
But I will try, I really will try, to properly comment on everything I didn't yet, before you post the last chapter!
I'm really sorry and I hope nothing serious is going on in your real life ;; fighting! I love you <3
Ps: I wanna read your next story as long as is not u.u

Chapter 53: dear author, don't worry about it !! this was the applyfic which lasted longer among all of those i applied too, and, i can tell, also my favourite by far. i love the way you write and how you move our characters bringing them all to life in the best way possible, you probably already know how much i feverishly adore your story telling skills ( in case it wasn't evident in all of those lenghty comments i posted here from time to time ) and i'll continue supporting you in the future if you decide to write something else on aff. i know what it means to be so busy you can't even find the time to do what you like most. i also am in uni and i also have this urge to write but i barely succeed in doing it because of all the assignments and courses and parents and housecare and whatever and i never do it here 'cause i wouldn't wanna be the one to start a fic and then just leave it there hangin, like i already did in the past. reading this fic was amazing, your mind overflows with innovative creativity, i really would never get the ideas you got for all the different updates ( e.g. shall we talk about that lovely kakao talk chat? a ma zing ) and you always deliver compelling chapters that add up to the value of this fic. loved loved loved ytt, wish you all the best !! xoxo
