Myungsoo POV

      All seven of us were sitting in our living room in our dorm, watching the TV as Music Bank finally started to play. Sungjong, Sungyeol and I were sitting next to each other, waiting eagerly for our preformance to be played.

     After all of those exhausting schedules that we as INFINITE F have been having lately, it’s nice to finally get to rest a little and see how we did. I leaned back, relaxing my muscles as I grabbed a handful of the popcorn that Hoya had decided to make a few minutes ago.

     “Well, let’s see how the kids did,” Sunggyu said, (totally not) being the grandpa he is as he propped his feet on the table, which made Woohyun upset.

    “Hyung, you know that I just wiped down that table only a few hours ago! Put your feet down!” he berated, whacking Sunggyu’s feet until he finally set them down. Once it got all quite again a few minutes later, we went back to focusing on the TV.

     “I think we are one of the later preformances,” Sungjong informed the other members as we watched one of the rookie girl groups preform their song. We always tended to be one of the later preformances, so every time we were actually able to have time to watch ourselves on a music show, we always had to wait through most of the show.

     A few preformances later, it finally cut to our interview with Apink. I glanced at Sungyeol and Sungjong, knowing smiles on our faces. I turned to look at our hyungs, all ready to gage their reactions.

     “Hello, we are INFINITE F!” I heard the three of us introduce ourselves from the TV as I watched our four other member’s reactions. I saw as they smiled a little, amused as we did our V signs and offered cute smiles once we finished our introductions.

     We said the typical scripted things you usually say in those waiting room interviews, talking about the other group and promoting each other’s current songs. It was all pretty normal until it finally got to the part that the three of us were anticipating.

     As soon as Namjoo started talking about both groups doing aegyo, I noticed that it caught the other member’s attention. The moments I read the script for our interview with Apink and saw that we were going to have to do aegyo, I couldn’t help but imagine the other member’s reactions. I smiled slightly as I kept observing the four of them eagerly.

    “INFINITE F is buing buing!” I finally heard us shout in unison from the TV as we all did the aegyo together. I still remembered how embarassing that was, but I knew it was totally worht it, In about 1 second the dorm went from completely calm and peaceful to utter chaos.

     Sunggyu and Hoya were laughing slightly with big grins on their faces, Woohyun looked really surprised but was smiling as well, and Dongwoo was rolling on the floor laughing. Their laughter got louder and louder as the seconds went by. The three of us were trying to hold back our laughs as well as we watced the nonsese go on around us.

    “That was cute,” Dongwoo stated after a few minutes when everyone was finally calmed down again. “I never see you three do aegyo like that, especially Myungsoo.”

     “That was pretty good, kids,” Grandpa Gyu stated as he (slowly) got up to go to the kitchen, making sure to pat our heads when he passed by the three of us.

     “I never knew that our maknae line could be cute like that,” Woohyun praised us, leaning over to mockingly pinch my cheeks.

“Our cute little Myungie-“ he started to tease me but I gave him an intensly cold glare.

     “I can make your death look like an accident,” I whispered angrily, still giving him a death glare. Luckily that managed to make him stop.

     “I bet you three just gave thousands of fangirls heart attacks,” Hoya laughed. “I have to admit, it was pretty cute.”

     “I’m glad that our maknae line can be cute like that. Some group’s maknae lines have no aegyo whatsoever,” Dongwoo commented. “Fangirls really like aegyo… and cute maknaes… So it all works out in the end.”

     The seven of us continued to watch Music Bank until we had all seen our preformance and the program had finished.

     Once Music Bank was over, Sungyeol, Sungjong and I all left. We had been having some pretty packed schedules lately and were pretty exhausted. We decided to go into Sungyeol and Sungjong’s room, laying on one of their beds as we started to chat a little bit about this and that before we went to sleep.

     “So I guess that it’s official now – we are the maknae line of INFINITE,” Sungyeol stated proudly, slinging his arms around Sungjong and I.

     “We’re pretty cute,” Sungjong smiled. It was all going well until Sungjong just had to add a little snide comment (come on, he is a sassy diva, after all).

“However, it’s pretty obvious that I’m cutest. I mean, I am the maknae, after all.”

Immediately the room exploded into an intense argument.

     “You’ve got to be kidding me,” Sungyeol scoffed. “Just because you’re the maknae doesn’t mean you’re the cutest maknae! Do you know how many groups there are where the actual maknae has no aegyo and another member is more like the maknae instead? It’s pretty obvious that I’m the best. I’m the cute choding, after all.”

     “Oh please, don’t lie to yourself, hyung. My aegyo is the cutest and most effective. I’m got all of the hyungs wrapped around my finger better than any of you two!” Sungjong retorted back, shooting the choding a glare full of violence and death.

     I started to get a bad feeling about this. Whenever those to got into a fight, it never ended too well. Then again, Sungjong fighting with anybody is bad. That kid looks all sweet and cute, but he can be a scary as heck when he wants to be. Maybe I should leave and sleep in my room now…

     “Why don’t we just asked the hyungs then? That way they can tell you themselves that I’m the best,” Sungyeol suggested, sending Sungjong a cocky grin. I couldn’t help but laugh at the idea.

     “Are you kidding me? What are you going to do, hold a maknae election? There is no way this is going to turn out okay. There’s going to be lies, bribery, even some of the hyungs might be biased. It’ll just end up like WW III,” I told them, trying to get the logic through their thick skulls.

     “Then what do you suggest, then? Since you seem to know everything in the universe.” Sungjong snapped, giving me a expectant look. I sighed.

    “Look,” I started to say as I glanced at the other two. “If you’re going to argue about who’s the best maknae, you can’t just ask for other people’s opinions. You need to prove that you really are the best. Not through words, but through actions and examples. If you’re going to hold a competion, then do it in a way that will give you unbiased or tainted results and chose a winner that really does deserve to win.”

     “Wow, that actually makes a lot of sense,” Sungyeol exclaimed.

     “So if we’re going to hold this maknae competion, we should definitely do it like the way that Myungsoo hyung suggested,” Sungjong stated, nodding his head approvingly.

     As I could see where this conversation was heading, I started to look for the door. Leave, I told myself. Go now, while you still can-

     “Of course, and Myungsoo will have to be included as well,” Sungyeol agreed, patting me on the back. Darn it.

     “Wait, I what?!” I exclaimed nervously. There goes my escape plan.

     “Come on hyung, you’re apart of INFINITE F! You are in the maknae line! If we’re having a maknae line battle, there is no way that you can’t particpate. Besides, don’t you want to prove that you’re the best maknae?” Sungjong said, trying to persuade me.

     “Fine, I guess I’ll join in,” I finally gave in. He had a point, and besides, I’m kinda competitive as well. I know that I don’t really do aegyo that much, but that only makes my aegyo that more effective when I actually do it :P

     “Then it’s settled,” Sungyeol stated, smirking evilly. “Let the maknae battle begin!”
