"Good evening, everyone!" Kierra greeted the guests at Siwoo's party celebration while looking at her sister and cousins.

"1, 2..."

"We're 2N2!" The quartet sang in unison as they once again didn't introduced themselves individually.

Kierra continued speaking.

"And before we begin, let's congratulate the birthday girl, Son Siwoo! Whoo!"

Everyone cheered and clapped despite the small celebration being just a tad larger than the four had anticipated yet mustered the energy and strength to continue on. The quartet each wore dresses once again with a sweetheart neckline, embroidered cap sleeves, and a handkerchief hem skirt in different colors all thanks to Sujin, Woojoo, and Jiwoo helping the four. Kierra in emerald green, Serena in mustard yellow, Melanie in navy, and Linna in steel blue along with matching masquerade masks as well. Melanie and Linna bribed their sisters with snacks and bubble tea for the next two weeks.

"So, we'll be doing two performances, all consisting of a dance medley." Serena explained while motioning towards Siwoo.

"We were informed that the birthday girl likes dancing and is interested in forming a dance group at her school."

Cheers went all around as Siwoo happily clapped at the attention she was receiving.

"Anyway," Melanie spoke this time.

"One dance medley is of girl groups and the other medley is of boy groups."

"And if you know the dances, then please join us to your heart's content!" Linna exclaimed while pointing at Siwoo.

"Especially the birthday girl!"

Siwoo cheered the loudest as everyone cheered and clapped once more.

"We'll be first doing the girl group and then the boy group one afterwards. Enjoy!" Kierra announced.

The cousins got into their positions with Jiwoo assisting in the sound part of it. Once the first song of the medley came on, a lot of the younger attendees joined in on the dances for both songs and Siwoo and her friends were enjoying it just as much, showing off their own dance skills.

"Ahh, thank you so much!" Jiwoo thanked the cousins once they finished both of their performances.

"You're welcome, Jiwoo."

"Yeah, ladies, great job!" Woojoo congratulated them with a thumbs up as Sujin nodded, happily.

"Most definitely. I can't wait for Jungwon's birthday."

The seven were now standing near the entrance and exit of the venue hall where the event was taking place, taking a moment with one another. The cousins figured the further they were away from others, the easier it would be to slip away unnoticed.

"Anyway, here's a little party favor for attending."

Jiwoo handed each of them a silvery white pouch with golden accents.

"There's chocolates inside along with a random knick-knack piece my mother added, too."

"Thank you!"

Each of them took the offered item as Jiwoo flashed them a smile before slightly frowning.

"Will the four of you be leaving now?"

"Yes."

Sujin and Woojoo weren't happy with the responses.

"Oh, c'mon stay."

"Yeah, stay. Or at least have some cake."

Serena and Kierra were about to deny, but Melanie and Linna answered before they could.

"Yes, please."

"Okay, lovely! We'll be right back."

The trio rushed off to get some cake while the older two looked at the younger two.

"Really?"

They shrugged.

"Free food."

"Wow."

"Don't act like y'all won't do the same."

"True."

The four shared a laugh and glanced around them when they soon heard a loud cough and the quartet turned their attention to the source of the sound, suddenly seeing Ni-Ki and friends, smiling at them.

"Hi."

"Hi." The quartet greeted back, awkwardly, not aware these seven would be here, too.

Luckily, they couldn't tell who was who due to the four still wearing their face masks and their hair styled different than it normally was.

"Do the four of you go to Hyebi University?" Jungwon asked as the four remained silent.

"We're sorry for randomly asking." Sunoo apologized upon the silence continuing.

"We're just curious, that's all."

"Yeah, it's just that your movements reminded us of our female dance team." Heeseung commented with Jay agreeing.

"Yeah, and we figured y'all attended the same school since they did these two performances two months ago."

Funny enough, the quartet weren't apart of the dance team although there's been several times when the girls' team needed filler members to help them out and the four assisted due to some of their friends being a part of the team, too. Anyway, just like what Jay had mentioned, the cousins did participate during the Winter Dance Showcase and danced to the two dance medleys. Then again, when that did happen, the quartet always wore some type of face covering to help obscure their face as to not be identify, so maybe that's why, too.

"We do attend Hyebi University, but we're just not part of the dance team." Serena answered, keeping it to this much of information they were gonna give out to them.

"I knew it!" Ni-Ki gloated as they all stared at him.

"I kno-"

He stopped gloating upon seeing the quartet stare at him intently. His face became neutral and before Jake or Sunghoon could even asked something further to help identify the four, the other three appeared soon after.

"Alright, ladies. Here are y'all's cake."

They offered Linna and Melanie a small plate, but the pair took the napkin that came with them and used it to pick up the cake instead.

"We'll actually be going now." Melanie informed the pair.

"Thanks for the cake and goodie bag."

"Yeah, okay, bye!"

The four gave them a small wave before leaving the venue hall, not wanting to interact more as they feel they would reveal themselves to the seven soon, especially with Ni-Ki around. Sunoo and Jungwon turned their attention onto their sister.

"How do you know them?"

"Uh, through a mutual friend." They lied, knowing that their friends didn't want to be revealed at all since that was the deal.

"Do you know who they are?" Their brothers questioned, with Jiwoo not answering this question either, but te other two did.

"No."

The trio ran off, leaving the seven behind, not wanting to respond to any more questions.

"Alright, Jungwon," Sujin announced to get her brother's attention as she stood on the makeshift stage within the restaurant the party celebration was being held at.

Sujin's parents rented out the restaurant for a few hours so that Jungwon could have his birthday party without any interruptions.

"Tell me that I'm the best sister for getting you the best birthday gift ever!"

"You're the best!" Jungwon excitedly yelled as the others within his party cheered.

Besides the immediate and extended family there were Jungwon's six close friends concerning Jay, Jake, Ni-Ki, Heeseung, Sunghoon, and Sunoo. Sujin only invited Woojoo as it was her brother's birthday and didn't need to invite others to it as she already got the four to come as entertainers. Woojoo was the only one that knew the cousins were here to perform for Jungwon.

"Of course I am, anyway," Sujin continued on.

"I invited some special people to give you awesome stages. Please welcome, The Bumblebees!"

Sujin motioned towards and announced the quartet as the four were standing off to the side in their black and yellow outfits, matching their so-called group name. The four casually came onto the stage while waving at the crowd. Their outfits consisted of shoes, sweat pants, hoodies, face masks, and snapbacks to overall conceal their identities. The only thing you could make out were their hands and possibly their eyes if the four ever lifted it up to do so. The four also decided to go with a new name to further conceal and hide their identities, learning from Jiwoo's sister's birthday. Sujin was the one who came up with bumblebees as they were her favorite.

"1, 2," Serena began as they finished as all four, "We're The Bumblebees!"

The attendees cheered with Sujin being the most enthusiastic.

"Once again, The Bumblebees, and enjoy!"

Sujin quickly stepped off of the stage, allowing the spotlight to shine on her friends while making her way off to the side to control the music for them. The quartet gave her the signal to start as they got into position. They rearranged the choreography of the songs to fit their team of four as they have already done these songs in the past based on other choreographies they've learned from others online and through the female dance team of their school. Bad Boy was first, followed by One More Time, next was Crazy For You, then Candy, and lastly with All I Wanna Do (K). Once they finished there were loud cheers and applause as Sujin joined her friends.

"Please give another warm applause to The Bumblebees!"

The audience cheered and clapped once more.

"Now, we'll have to say goo-"

Jungwon interrupted his sister.

"Wait. Can I make a request?"

Sujin looked at the quartet before Linna motioned with an arm for Jungwon to proceed to what the request was.

"What is the request?" Sujin asked her brother.

"Can I ask them to do All I Wanna do, but with me and my friends joining?"

Both Kierra and Serena immediately replied, not wanting to partake in such an activity.

"No."

"Well, there's your response." Sujin responded before speaking again.

"We'll now sing the birthday song and that will end our entertainment for this evening."

Sujin led everyone in the birthday song as a cake was brought out and placed in front of Jungwon. Once the song ended did he blow out the candles. Before anyone else could asked the four questions, they waved goodbyes and dashed off while laughing. Ni-Ki stared after them, but didn't ponder on it longer as he soon became interested in the mentioning of cake.

"So, who wants a piece of cake?"

Upon hearing the cake bit, both Linna and Melanie made their way over to the table and each stood on one side of Woojoo.

"Could we have some cake to go, too, please?"

Serena and Kierra joined the trio a second later after having to use the toilet.

"So, we'll be outside as you two grab your pieces." Kierra informed the younger two as they bid Woojoo and Sujin goodbye while wishing Jungwon a happy birthday.

"Can you take mine, Yiseul? I need to use the toilet." Melanie said as she dashed off in a rush.

Linna casually watched her cousin run off before focusing her attention onto the delicious looking cake. When she finally got hers and Melanie's slices, she was too happy and in thought about it, Linna turned too quickly and ran into another body causing the cake to smear hers and the other person's clothing.

"I am so sorry." Linna immediately apologized as the other person calmly told her it was also his fault.

"No, no. It was my fault."

Linna's brows furrowed upon recognizing the voice and glanced up to see Sunghoon. This was
