The song ended with a thump by Himchan on his drums. Jongup and Zelo high-fived each other while Yongguk winked at Himchan. Daehyun and Youngjae were already hugging each other. They looked satisfied and proud.

" Ho-eun. LEE HO-EUN . "

Sunggyu's voice startled me. 

" Yeah ? " I squeaked. 

" STOP CLAPPING . " Sunggyu pierced through looked at me with his tiny eyes. His eyes might be small but they definitely can kill.

I instantly became two shades brighter. I didn't realize my hands were clapping by themselves. I stuffed my hands in my front pockets, muttering some angry words under my breath. Stupid hands. I must've looked like a pabo. IN FRONT OF HIMCHAN. Great. Just great.

" So, what do you think of that performance ? Is it worthy enough for your graduation ceremony ? " Yongguk asked, a teasing tone hidden in his deep voice.

With a pokerface, Sunggyu answered, " We'll let you know in a day or so. I'll have to discuss it with the student body members first. "

" No problem. Thanks for the chance anyway. " Yongguk replied casually. 

I glanced pleadingly at Sunggyu's direction. Please take them ................. Please !  BAP started packing up their equipments. Daehyun and Youngjae headed for the door. Zelo was prancing around Jongup, bothering him about ice-cream.

" Ho-eun right ? " Himchan's voice snapped me back into reality. ' Did he really called my name ? '

" Can I talk to you for a minute ? " After sensing 6 pairs of eyes on him , he added , " ALONE. "

" Umm .......... sure. " 

Once outside, Himchan started to thank me for helping them in getting an opportunity to perform again. The chances might be slim but he is still grateful to be given a chance. I shooked my head violently, telling him that I didn't do anything at all. It was their talent that won them a chance to audition in the first place. Youngjae chimed in with Himchan, thanking me for convincing Sunggyu to allow them to audition in the first place. He even said that he knows how much my oppars hated them so it was tough for them to even want BAP to audition. 

" Aniya, they don't hate you guys " I retorted, trying to prevent them from becoming enemies. 

" But we know for sure that they don't exactly want to be buddies with us. " Yongguk commented from afar. 

" Come hang out with us sometime ok ? I'll buy you ice-cream ! " Zelo said, cheerily. 

" Sure, I would love to ! " I smiled back. Yes, I want to spend time with them. Especially Himchan.

" Well, we need to go now. I don't to be killed by that guy standing behind you. He looks ready to tear our limbs apart. " Yongguk picked up his guitar, swung it over his shoulders and started to walk away. 

" Ho-eun, we need to talk. NOW. " 

I've never seen such a stern look on my brother's face. I'm scared.
