In Soo Min’s room.

Infinite: Hello, readers! Infinite-imnida! *bows*

Soo Min continues to watch her movie.

Woohyun: Yah! Greet them!

Soo Min: …

Woohyun:  Aish! If you want that Freddy costume, you have to be an idol. And if you want to be an idol, you have to learn to be a people-person!

Soo Min: *raises Freddy’s hand* Sup.

Woohyun: *facepalms* That will have to do for now.

Sunggyu: So the author decided to let us have a little conversation with you guys.

Sungjong: We can say whatever we want!

Myungsoo: It’s quite refreshing this way.

…

Sunggyu: So… guys… anything you want to say?

Woohyun: I love you, my beautiful readers.

Dongwoo flicks his forehead.

Sungyeol: Always so cheesy… Hey ladies, let’s pretend it’s just the two of us. Our little own cyber date. *winks*

Dongwoo pushes him away.

Hoya: I just want to thank you guys for all you’ve done. It means a lot to just know that you’re reading this.

Dongwoo: Yeah! We’ll continue to—

Sungyeol: *pops back up* Be our wonderful selves and—

Dongwoo: We’ll continue to—

Sungyeol: Be our y selves and—

Dongwoo: We’ll continue to—

Sungyeol: Use Dongwoo’s toothbrush—

Dongwoo: *about to punch him but stops* Wait, what? *but punches him anyways* We’ll continue to—

Sungyeol: Show you—

Dongwoo: WE’LL CONTINUE TO WORK HARD AND STRIVE TO BE BETTER CHARACTERS FOR YOU GUYS BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU!

Sungjong: *claps* Good job, hyung!

Hoya: *holds up a stopwatch* It only took you 18.4 seconds to finish your sentence this time. A new record!

Dongwoo: *puts his head in his hands* Oh my god…

Woohyun: What was his previous record?

Hoya: About 23 seconds.

Woohyun: Oh, not bad. *turns to Dongwoo* So, you basically lost five seconds of patience.

Dongwoo: Urgh!

Soo Min: Patients? Hospital? Where?

Sungjong: No, noona, patience. Like the virtue that Dongwoo is slowly losing.

Dongwoo: You guys will be the death of me.

Myungsoo: On a happier note, we’re becoming closer! *hugs Soo Min*

Soo Min stiffens up, her face frozen in a blank expression.

Woohyun: *frees Soo Min* Don’t touch her with your dirty hands! And what do you think you’re doing, Mr. I’m-Not-Seducing-Anybody-Besides-Myself!

Myungsoo: I was only saying how we’re all in her room right now and so far, no threats.

Sungyeol: Wow, you’re right. Good job, Mr. Touchy.

Myungsoo: *grits teeth* Don’t call me that.

Sungyeol: Okay, Myung so touchy. 

Myungsoo: SUNG—AHHH! *lunges at Sungyeol*

Sunggyu: Well… that was an interesting war cry.

Dongwoo: I don’t think I’ve heard that one.

Sunggyu: No, neither have I. It’s always, “AARGH!”

Hoya: Or “YOU BASTARD!”

Woohyun: Don’t forget, “FOR NARNIA!”

Sunggyu: Ooh, definitely can’t forget that one. Yeah…“Sungah!”… that’s an interesting one.

Dongwoo: Hmmm… must be new.

They all nod in agreement.

Hoya: Why don’t we ignore their little love-wrestling over there and move on.

Sunggyu: Good idea, Hoya. *claps him on the back* Is there anything you would like to say, Soo Min-ah?

Soo Min: *pauses her movie* I hate you. *plays movie*

Sunggyu: Well, then… Sungjong-ah, what about you? Is there anything YOU would like to say?

Sungjong: I hate you, too. *sits down and watches the movie with Soo Min*

Sunggyu: Yah! Maknae! You punk! Come here!

Sungjong just sticks out his tongue.

Sunggyu: When I count to three, you’d better be standing in front of me. 1… 2….

Sungjong: Soo Min-ah! *pouts* Hyung’s going to hurt me!

Soo Min slowly turns her head around and glares at Sunggyu.

Sunggyu: No no no! That’s not what’s happening at all! He’s twisting everything around! He was being a brat and—

Dongwoo: *pats Sunggyu’s back sympathetically* Just give up now. If he has Soo Min on his side, you can’t do anything.

Myungsoo: Let go of me!

Sungyeol: Not until you sing it, Mr. Touchy!

Myungsoo: I am not singing that ridiculous song!

Sungyeol: Sing it!

Myungsoo: AARGH! You bastard!

Hoya: Oh look, there’s the war cry. Except it’s missing—

Myungsoo: FOR NARNIA!!!!

Hoya: I stand corrected. 

Woohyun walks over and traps Myungsoo in a headlock.

Myungsoo: What the hell?

Woohyun: I was debating on whose side I should be on. Sungyeol’s felt like the winning one to me.

Myungsoo: Fine... My handshakes—

Sungyeol: I can’t hear you.

Myungsoo: * scoffs * My handshakes bring all the boys to the yard and they’re like, it’s better than yours. I can touch you, but I have to charge.

Sunggyu: Aish... not in front of the kids!

Soo Min walks over and kicks Woohyun and Sungyeol in the shins.

Woohyun: What was that for?!

Soo Min: Jerks.

Soo Min checks to see if Myungsoo is okay and returns to her seat next to Sungjong.

Dongwoo moves Woohyun and Sungyeol over to Sunggyu and pushes both of them into the far corner of the room. He then grabs Hoya and Myungsoo and sits next to Soo Min.

Woohyun takes a step forward.

Dongwoo: Don’t move! You guys stay there!

Sungyeol: What?! Why?

Dongwoo: That’s the Soo Min’s Uber Rivals Field A.K.A. SMURF.

Sunggyu: You’ve got to be kidding me.

Dongwoo: Nope! It’s better for the rest of us if we don’t associate ourselves with you guys. We don’t want to be on her bad side too.

Woohyun: Yah!

Myungsoo: Is that the only thing you know how to say?

Sungjong gives him a hi-five.

Sungyeol: Yah! Sungjong-ah! I play with you more than him!

Sungjong: *looks at Myungsoo* But I like this hyung more.

Sunggyu: I take care of you more!

Sungjong: You just boss me around and nag at me all the time!

Sunggyu: Traitor!

Soo Min glares at the three boys in SMURF land.

Woohyun: Soo Min-ah! Remember our promise? I’m getting you all of those really cool things! Can I leave this corner now?

Soo Min: That has nothing to do with your current situation.

Woohyun: But—

Soo Min pulls out a piece of paper from her pocket with the word, “CONTRACT” at the top.

Soo Min: See?

Woohyun: I never signed that!

Soo Min: Yes, you did. *she points to his thumb print at the bottom*

Woohyun: Hey! When did you get that?

Soo Min: This morning during breakfast. You put your hand down on it.

Woohyun: DFJKASKSDFJADSJK!

Sunggyu: Well, readers. I hope your impression of us has not—

Hoya: Quiet! No talking in that corner!

Sungjong: This was a fun break.

Sungyeol: Bye my lovely—

Dongwoo: We said… NO TALKING!

Myungsoo: Bye readers! Thanks again! We’ll see you in the next chapter! Soo Min, say “bye!”

Soo Min: May you rest in peace.
