Trope: Viral Challenge Gone Horribly, Hilariously Wrong
Cast: All 9 members of &TEAM
Warnings: Slippery floors, bruised egos, and a broken lamp

*****
"We're not going viral. We're going to jail."

*****

It started with Nicholas.

"Guys," he announced one afternoon, holding up his phone with dangerous excitement in his eyes. "We need to do this challenge."

The room collectively groaned.

"No, seriously!" he insisted, turning the screen around to reveal a trending video: a group of idols blindfolded, trying to perform a choreographed dance on what was clearly a slippery-as-hell floor. It had millions of views.

Taki was already bouncing. "We HAVE to do it. That looks so fun."

K looked like he was watching his career flash before his eyes. "That looks like a lawsuit."

Jo, sipping tea in the corner, simply said, "I'll do it. I want to feel something."

Yuma blinked. "That... explains a lot."

🧼 Scene 1: The Setup

The dorm's living room was cleared out.
Plastic tarps laid down.
Slippery socks distributed.
Blindfolds tied with suspicious enthusiasm.

"Where did you even get this many blindfolds?" EJ asked.

"Don't ask questions you don't want the answers to," Nicholas replied.

Maki whispered to Harua, "If I break my nose, tell my plushies I love them."

Fuma, the only one with actual concern for health and safety, taped foam to the walls. "When K says 'we're never going viral,' I want to at least prove him wrong in the emergency room."

K sat on the couch with his arms crossed. "If you all die doing this, I'm not writing the press release."

🎵 Scene 2: The Challenge Begins

3... 2... 1... MUSIC ON.

Blindfolds: secured.
Floor: treacherously slippery.
Faith in each other: very questionable.

The music blasted through the speakers. It was a high-tempo beat, the kind that made even confident dancers trip on their own ambition.

At first, it was okay. A few wobbles. Some off-beat claps.

And then.

Jo spun in the wrong direction and faceplanted directly into a throw pillow.

"MY SPINE," he yelled dramatically, still blindfolded.

Taki, now off-kilter from Jo's shriek, windmilled his arms and full-body slammed into the standing lamp.

Crash.
Silence.
Then: "THE LAMP IS DEAD."

Maki, who had been doing surprisingly well, tripped over Jo's outstretched leg and fell into Nicholas, who screamed like a horror movie victim.

Meanwhile, Yuma, in a state of total disassociation, decided this was the time to start freestyle rapping.

"I can't see but I got the vibe,
Jo's on the floor and I'm still alive—
Lamp's down bad, we up in flames,
This ain't a challenge, it's a war of names—"

"STOP RHYMING AND HELP ME," Harua shouted from under the coffee table.

🚨 Scene 3: The Aftermath

The music cut off.

EJ, who had been filming the entire thing, slowly lowered his phone. He didn't look amused. Or disappointed. Just... tired.

K stood, hands on his hips, surveying the battlefield like a teacher forced to supervise recess during a hurricane.

K: "We're not going viral. We're going to jail."

Fuma, bruised but alive, looked up from the couch where he'd slid mid-spin. "Can I call it now? This was a bad idea."

Jo, still face-down on the floor: "I saw the light. It told me to delete TikTok."

Taki, rising from the ruins of the lamp: "But did you SEE my spin before I crashed??"

Nicholas: "Honestly... we kind of crushed it."

Maki: "Crushed what? My dignity?"

📱 Scene 4: The Video

Later that night, they watched the footage.

All nine of them huddled around a single phone, crying laughing at the exact moment Jo screamed and Yuma dropped the most ridiculous bar about "lamp pain."

Harua: "You rhymed 'floor' with 'hardcore breakdown.'"

Yuma: "Bars don't wait for safety, Harua."

EJ: "I should not be encouraging this, but I'm uploading it."

K: "You're what."

EJ: "It's already posted."

K: "I AM NOT WRITING THE APOLOGY LETTER IF THIS GOES BAD."

💥 Scene 5: The Next Day

#CursedIdolChallenge trended within five hours.

"&TEAM just committed a crime against choreography and I loved every second."
"Jo's dramatic fall deserves its own fancam."
"Yuma rapping mid-fight for his life is peak idol behavior."
"Taki VS The Lamp — who won??"
"K's deadpan 'we're going to jail' made me choke on my ramen."
"I want a 10-episode behind-the-scenes docuseries."

Nicholas took full credit.

Maki still had a bruise.

Taki built a small "memorial corner" for the broken lamp.

Jo milked his "injury" for bubble replies all day.

Yuma released a 45-second "studio version" of his rap.

EJ kept getting notifications and regretting everything.

Fuma tried to set ground rules. Failed.

K sat silently for a full ten minutes before muttering:
"Next time, I'm the one wearing the blindfold. So I can't see what you're doing."

🎬 The End.
