and just like that, kq university's sports festival week was coming to an end. today was friday and the students were looking forward for the talent portion of the event.

almost everyone was at the auditorium where the school usually help performances and/or pageants.

"i'm so hyped up for this." yeosang bounced, gripping on both hongjoong's and jihae's arms. "jihae, you've never heard jongho sing, have you?"

the girl mentioned shook her head. "i bet he's good. i've never seen you this exited." she chuckled.

"seonghwa's dancing, too, you know." the short blue haired male reminded, which made the brunette exaggeratedly gasp.

"he said he was performing! he didn't say he was dancing!"

"you just love jongho more."

"not true!"

the girl giggled at the little quarrel they had. she spotted wooyoung waving his hands around to grab their attention. "ooh, there they are."

the closer the three of them walked to the seats, the more they saw who were actually there.

san was sitting in the middle of his boyfriend and yunho, more quiet than usual since soyeon, jungkook, eunwoo and yugyeom were also present.

both boys jihae was with stopped at their tracks. "uh, we can find others seats?" yeosang said in an unsure manner.

he was a little hesitant since the row was filled with the popular kids, and he was the only one who wasn't really close to any of them except for the other sophomores.

"don't be silly!" jihae slightly smacked his back. "we still have to cheer for mingi, hwa, and jongho."

"ouch. violence is not an answer." he rubbed the spot she hit, earning a snort.

the three sat down in their respective seats with eunwoo and yugyeom saying loud greetings to the new faces.

"if wooyoung ever hurts you, don't hesitate to tell me. i'll whoop his ass." soyeon said to san who immediately became flustered.

"he w-won't- wait, will you?" he turned to the silver haired who had an offended look on his face.

"sanshine! i'd never." wooyoung yelled, almost causing everyone to look at them.

"he's so cute." soyeon pouted. "i bet dahyun would squish his cheeks if she was here."

"mine." wooyoung claimed as he slung am arm around his boyfriend.

"ladies and gentlemen!" the emcee yelled cheerfully on the microphone. "has sports fest been great so far?"

students replied in a not so unison manner, mostly just screams of excitement.

"that's a lot of energy. good! well, sadly, all good things must come to an end, but don't you worry! just because it's finished, doesn't mean it has to be sorrowful. we just so happen to have the perfect way to end our activities."

the announcement caused around of applause.

"to start the end," the host jokingly said. "we have a freshman from the theatre arts department who recently gained attention for his extreme skills in volleyball. everyone, please welcome, choi jongho!"

the crowd roared and clapped loudly, especially from yeosang, wooyoung, and san, hongjoong telling them to not act like animals. jihae raised her arms up as well while letting out a 'woohoo'.

jongho stepped on stage, holding a guitar as he head to the chair in front of a microphone stand.

he tapped on the mic a couple of times, and strummed his guitar to see if it sounded fine.

"one, two. one, two, three, four-"

jongho played the first chord as he sang the first line. that alone made people yell in amazement.

soon, people started singing along to the song which was grenade by bruno mars.

"bad woman! bad woman! that's just what you are!" yugyeom swayed his arms above his head. "yeah, you smile at my face and tear the breaks off my car!"

eunwoo and jungkook decided to join him as well, causing yunho to follow, and then wooyoung, then just the rest of the people in the auditorium.

unfortunately, the melody came to an end. the students clapped louder.

"that was one show!" the emcee went back to the stage. "choi jongho, everyone!"

after the little encore, more performers showcased their talents. more hollers were heard after each stage act.

"now, from the cinematography department, the star aces!"

jihae tapped her foot rapidly as this was what she most anticipated for. she was already excited enough when she knew seonghwa was performing, she became more thrilled seeing his friends' reactions.

"here he comes." yeosang whispered.

the male dancers, including the ravenette, went to their formation with their heads looking down as they posed.

the first beat dropped, and that's when the jihae heard squeals from other schoolmates. "it's call me baby!"

the screams just got louder when the boys on stage rolled their bodies.

of course, jihae was mesmerized by the performance. especially by a certain junior.

seonghwa was going all out. he smirked, bit and licked his lips, winked, isolated parts of his body and overall just executing the moves in a way that made the girl's attention focus on him alone. it's like he had his own spotlight in jihae's eyes. even when he wasn't the center, she would still be looking at him.

"ji, your mouth." yunho nudges her with a singsong tone in his voice.

only then she became aware of her mouth which was slightly parted. she immediately pursed her lips as if she's been caught.

"ooh~ is our jihae loving hwa hyung's dancing skills?" san wiggled his eyebrows and whispered, but yeosang seemed to hear.

the brunette began poking her sides, making her flinch and whine in annoyance. "stop."

"she's turning red." wooyoung teased some more.

she wasn't sure if it was true but she felt like it was. she was so flustered at the moment. she couldn't believe that that guy who usually had puppy eyes and a pained yet soft and sweet smile, had it in him to look and move like that.

sure, she knew he could dance but man, was she blown away.

soon, the last part of the song transpired, meaning it was ending. they all clapped and whistled as the dancers bowed and made their exit.

"woah, that was hot, wasn't it?" the question was responded with screeching but the host took it as a yes.

"the last, but definitely not the least dancing act will be performed by a duo." he announced just as exhilarated as the audience. "not just any duo, folks! it's our very own thai dance queen, lalisa manoban! and our friendly, dorky, and mischievous butterfly, song mingi!"

a bunch of yells could be discerned from every corner of the room, and it was the first time jihae heard her brother cheer.

a joyous melody played followed by a funky beat. their song was a mash up of different genres as they moved in synced. they showed such great chemistry, giving each other bright looks then switching to fierce ones.

however, there was one tiny problem for jungkook. he was a wee bit jealous. the reason being he also knew how to dance and he could have been his girlfriend's partner.

his youngest sister seemed to notice him being slightly tensed, knowing the meaning right away. she leaned towards him, not paying attention to her best friends between them and whispered something.

the athletics major visibly relax and nodded at the girl.

upon calming her brother down, she went back to watching the performance, this time focusing on her tall friend.

yunho, wooyoung, and jihae were impressed by the redhead on the platform. he looked so serious and passionate while moving his body, not giving the impression he was joking around.

"looks like the airhead can dance." the tallest sophomore claimed with a chuckle. yunho and mingi has been hanging out a lot lately, and friendly insults wasn't anything new or offensive.

"oh, come on." san started. "mingi might be clumsy but-"

"and annoying." yeosang cuts him off, earning weird stares from others. "what?"

"but he's not an airhead." san continued.

"yeah. one time he scored a ninety out of a hundred in math." hongjoong informed. "and it's math."

wooyoung gasped. "ninety? how?!" his tone in disbelief and feeling betrayed. "i thought we had the same braincells."

"i mean, the both of you are pretty loud."

"and clings onto everyone you see."

"and shouts for no reason."

"and lies a lot."

"you're basically a mingi point two."

"except you're small."

"i get it!" the silver haired yelled.

"you're doing it again." yeosang pointed out, making the others snicker.
