"WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE?!" Sara shrieked.

"FUCK." I said a little too loudly and covered my neck. "Nothing, nothing at all."

"HWANG JIHYUN YOU NAUGHTY GIRL--" She yelled. "GUYS LOOK AT THIS."

I glared at Sara and kicked her in the shin. "I am going to murder you."

The girls came over and started making a big fuss.

"JIHYUN!!"

"YOUR NECK--"

"ARE THOSE WHAT I THINK THEY ARE?!"

I groaned. "Stop being nosyyyyy!!" I shoved my hand in their faces.

"YOUR NECK LOOKS LIKE POLKA DOTS!"

I scowled. "Nothing, it is NOTHING--"

"WHO WAS IT??"

I froze and looked away from the auidence of teenage girls looking at me mischievously, waiting to receive some juicy rumors.

"Why would you ask that, it was obviously Jinyoung." Someone whispered loudly.

"YAH!" I yelled and kicked all the girls. "THIS IS THE END OF YOU ALL--"

After the girls received a few bearings from me, we settled down in our costumes, but I was still attacked with questions.

"Did you guys.............." Soomin whispered.

I glared at her and made an X with my arms. "No."

"Are you and Jinyoung dating then? Secretly?" Someone else asked.

I hesitantly nodded. "But can WE PLEASE LET GO OF THE TOPIC--"

"You know we won't." Sara laughed. "We'll never forget this Jihyun."

"THIS IS REVENGE!"

"REVENGE!!!" They repeated.

I whined and slumped to the ground. "You guys are insane."

"Woaaaa. Can you believe they do that to each other--" Sara whispered to the person next to her.

"You have three seconds to pray and run before I choke you to death." I glowered at her.

Sara ran and hid behind another member.

"Jinyoung and Jihyun are the best couple in Mixnine, if you ask anyone they will agree."

"Dude, the tag #JIHYOUNG is trending on twitter."

"It IS?!" I asked. "What the hell--"

Everyone started laughing. "DID YOU THINK WE DIDN'T KNOW??"

I stuck out my bottom lip. "I didn't think we were that obvious..."

_

We got fitted well inside our costumes, and as a bonus, I got lectured for half an hour about maintaining a proper "idol" image, and being careful (hint: the producers were talking about the things on my neck).

"I'm going to murder Jinyoung." I muttered under my breath after they left the room.

"At least they didn't yell at you." Hyunjin muttered. "One time I was just eating snacks and they started yelling at me out of nowhere."

I laughed. "I wonder why Hyunjin, I wonder why."

"Me too!!" She said.

It was the last day before the final stage of Mixnine. I was pretty depressed that it was ending because it was so fun, but also really stressed because I was worried about the Live broadcast.

What if I couldn't debut in the end?

YG wouldn't do that to us, right?

I sighed. The boys have a bigger chance of winning than us.

_

It was the day of the final mixnine stage.

"I'm so sad." I whined and pouted to Ryujin. "I'm so sad this is ending."

Ryujin frowned. "Me too."

Everyone was heading backstage, with their makeup and costumes on, after we revealed the current rankings on the live broadcast.

"Jagiya." Someone whispered in my ear.

I whipped my head around quickly, bonking my head against Jinyoung's.

"OW!" He rubbed his head. "That was just un-ne-ces-ary."

"You're welcome, darling." I said.

"Darling sounds like what my grandma calls me." Jinyoung said.

"I was trying be wife material but I guess that didn't work." I huffed and crossed my arms.

Jinyoung chuckled. "I like it~ You can call me anything Jihyunie." He pushed me up against the wall.

"Jinwang."

"Ugly."

"Buck teeth."

Jinyoung's jaw dropped. "I DIDN'T MEAN THAT!"

"I'm just kiddinggg, Jinyoung." I grinned.

"I'm offended." He pouted, put then smirked mischievously. "You need to be punished for bullying me."

"I said I was kidding, good sir." I said. "You're the handsomest--"

Of course Jinyoung likes to interrupt me while I'm in the middle of talking, and with a heated kiss as well.

My head was pushed lightly into the wall from the amount of force he was using. My arms snaked around Jinyoung's neck.

Jinyoung moved onto trailing little kisses down my jawline and neck, and then stopped. "Okay I'm done."

I let out a breath. "Thank you."

He pecked me on the cheek and looked at me up and down. I became slightly awkward at his staring.

"What are you looking at?" I pushed his head with my hand.

"You look extra good today." Jinyoung muttered and smirked.

My eyes widened and I covered my body with my arms. "I'm going to slap that smirk off your face."

"It's true, this outfit looks good on you." He said, lightly running his hand over my shoulder.

I eyed his hand and cleared my throat. "You just look cute and your hair looks like the extra spicy ramen kind, so your welcome."

"You just look sexy."

My jaw dropped and heat crawled up my face. "No, stop that."

"I only say facts, babe."

_

"Woo Jinyoung welcome backk~"

I stared at the monitor in awe and laughed. "Woo Jinyoung welcome back~" I imitated Jinyoung's voice.

"Jihyun is so cute when it comes to her boyfriend." I heard someone whisper behind me.

I turned around and squinted at them. "I can hear you guysss."

"That's the point."

I rolled my eyes. "I'm not cute, I am a grown, sophisticated, and classy woman." I said in a fake snobby voice.

They snickered and I turned back around. The "What?!" stage ended, and I thought it was really good. I liked the song a lot, and Jinyoung's parts were really addicting to watch.

The "Come Over" stage was also very good, and Ryujin's rapping got better. She can fit any concept, really.

The judges Taeyang, Seungri, YG and Zion T gave their opinions on the two teams, and the screened showed the current 9th and 10th placers.

After that, it was our turn.

"WELCOME UNIVERSE TO THE STAGE!" The MC's boomed.

Our team rose up, and I looked around, smiling, as I heard the crowd cheer wildly. I saw a whole bunch of cameras around, and I got nervous because it was live. If I tripped or did something stupid, it wouldn't be edited out.

After our introductions, the stage started.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Breathing heavily, the stage ended successfully. My heart thumped loudly at the cheers--especially the ones that called my name out loudly. I felt really elated.

We got together once again, for the evaluations by the judges. I remembered the "I Like It Too" team's performance, and I thought it was good. Our songs were really different from each other, so I wondered if evaluating was actually fair.

"It looks like these two stages had hard times, Rubin injured himself, Gukeon lost his grandmother, and as well, Jihyun's mother is in a coma, so we respect these three for staying strong. Everyone is cheering for you, would you like to say a few words Jihyun?" Hongchul asked.

I was handed the mic after I nodded, and introduced myself. "Yes, my mother went under a dangerous surgery and is now in a coma. We can only pray now that she will wake up, and when she does I hope she is healthier." I said, trying to sound calm and collected.

"We will pray for her as well." Seungri said. "We are very proud of you."

"Thank you." I smiled.

"Jihyun really is perfect, if you think about it." Zion T said. "She can dance, sing, and rap too. She's also a good and strong leader. These traits are what truly make Jihyun idol-material."

I grinned even wider and bowed 90 degrees. "Thank you."

The judges continued to talking about the others, and in terms of getting the judges favor, we won. YG was the only one who said he liked the boy's performances better.

We bowed and exited. It hadn't fully registered in my brain yet that this was the last last LAST stage. After this, I'll either be debuting or not.

If I don't debut, what would happen?
