31 — I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT THINKING IT THROUGH—

in my defense, i honestly thought it was a brilliant idea.

—

"OMG is that who i think it is?!"

"yah, quick grab your phones! this is crazy!"

"this can't be... good thing i left my album collection at the library! better go get it!"

it's not a usual experience to see a popular idol walking around the school's corridor. no one knew they were participating in a new episode of school attack in the first place; the chaos surely just somehow.. happened, all of the sudden.

'minatozaki sana' practically struts her way through the crowd, knowing damn well that she has now grabbed everyone's attention. hangyul, yohan, and hyeongjun could only witness from afar, untangling the spontaneous occurrence that could end really badly if they weren't to be careful.

chenle and ryujin who were busy giving out yeri's fan goods froze in sight. "yah, are you seeing what i'm seeing?" chenle asks her confusedly.

"zhong chenle, did you possibly paid your way out of this one again—"

"no, this wasn't from me!"

of course, 'sana's' first notion is to somehow entrust her support to minhee, so that she could grab the last minute votes that earlier wasn't his to have. with the whole crowd circling her, she manages to head towards minhee who seemingly was very clueless of this campaign strategy he wasn't informed of.

"sana-ssi! please do answer me!" a boy flounces up his feet, following her daringly. "who are you supporting for this election?!"

sana clears her throat, adding fuel to the curiosity. "oooooh, what do we have here~" she motions to minhee's campaign standee and smiles. "well look at this handsome boy..."

the boy exchange glances to his surroundings. "she's voting for kang minhee? she's voting for kang minhee!"

"me?" minhee stands up warily, his eyes flutter in confusion. "w-why?"

"ah yes, youuuuu~" sana happily sprints towards to hug him tightly. the crowd gapes in shock.

"what do you mean?" minhee winces.

"just act natural." she whispers, casually ignoring yujin's obvious deadly glare. "i knew it the second i saw you, you had reminded me of something special!"

minhee looks at her in surprise. "you still remember me.. from daniel's seminar?? i actually got to join your fanmeeting too, you drew me a smiley face on your album!"

she 'grins'. "jesus christ, you sure as hell is stupid."

"wait, what—"

"look at his hair, everyone, doesn't it remind you guys of anything?" sana asks to the crowd excitedly. "guess correctly and you'll win something from me~"

"donald trump?!" guanlin yells, earning a couple of laughs here and there.

minhee rolls his eyes. "haha, very funny."

"of course not, dummy! try harder!" she moves her hands in a delicate way, showing off a somewhat familiar gesture. "shy, shy, shy."

the crowd breaks into realization. "ah yes.. the blonde hair." hyeongjun nods along.

"do you think he's having too fun with this?" hangyul sneers.

yohan agrees with him. "he's definitely having too much fun."

"try doing it for the crowd, pretty boy." sana says, raising both of her hands in preparation. "shy, shy, shy!"

"oh my god, she's so cute."

"did you record that? you must've had!"

"MINATOZAKI SANA, MARRY MEEEE~"

"don't be shy~ do it with me," sana forces minhee to do the gesture. "yeah, that's it! 1,2,3!"

"shy.. shy.. shy?" minhee grimaces in cringe right after he does the movement.

he had a bunch of girls squealing because of his somewhat failed attempt of doing fanservice. "yah, look at that! kang minhee just did aegyo!"

"minhee-yah! ottoke song, juseyoo ~"

"KANG MINHEE, MARRY ME!!!"

hangyul laughs. "soon enough, his fandom will surely surpass yours, yohan-ah."

yohan shakes his head in bitterness. "no, that's definitely NOT going to happen."

sana puts her hand on minhee's shoulder, pulling him closer. "yeah, that's what i'm talking about! NEVER will i REGRET choosing kang minhee! choosing number ONE! choosing him!" she says, emphasizing the words a little bit too seriously.

her appearance has resulted a sudden change of mind to minhee's team, even the ones who have voted junho had requested their votes to be revoked just so they could vote for minhee instead. with the whole school facing mass hysteria because of the unattended presence of minatozaki sana, the campaign team of candidate number one have once again proved their tactics to be out of this world.. literally.

"don't you think this is a bit dangerous, hyung?" hyeongjun asks hangyul uncomfortably. "isn't it bad, breaking the rules?"

"it's not breaking the rules if we don't get caught, hyeongjun-ah, you were the one who said that earlier.."

"yeah, but what if one of the hyungs suddenly find out?"

"trust me, they won't." yohan reassures him. "it's not like they're going to come here without informing us, alongside daniel and his twice member girlfriend. that's just ridiculous."

—

"why did you come here alongside your twice member girlfriend, daniel-ssi?"

of course, encountering daniel isn't something as exceptionally rare for the trio. however, his mere companion had shocked them nonetheless. seungyoun is used to seeing celebrities as that's what he stumbles upon them many times in business trips. for seungwoo and wooseok, this is quite a one-time experience.

"i wanted to make you jealous." daniel grins mischievously. "wait, scratch that. i actually wanted to make you not jealous."

wooseok raises his eyebrow. "what's that supposed to mean?"

"i wanted to prove you that i have a life apart of my private meetings with seungyoun, wooseok-ssi, so don't you worry."

"i still don't get it."

"there's nothing between daniel and me," seungyoun glances at him blankly. "i think.. that's what he means, wooseok-ah."

wooseok coughs, startled. "and what does that have to do with me? that doesn't really matter."

seungwoo nudges his arm playfully. "that doesn't really matter~" he repeats, mocking him.

the pretty girl takes off her sunglasses, finally giving them a proper introduction. "it's so nice to finally meet you. my name is park jihyo." she slightly bows. "daniel has told me about you guys a lot."

"he talks about us?" seungyoun flutters his eyes in confusion.

"yes, you're his friends, right?"

wooseok scoffs. "friends."

"his only friends, if that's what you meant." seungyoun lightly shakes her hand. "no one interesting to talk about other than us, aye, daniel-ssi?"

daniel rolls his eyes. "i have friends other than you."

"no you don't." jihyo mutters shortly.

seungwoo chuckles. "no, he doesn't."

wooseok smirks. "yes, please, i'm up for this daniel slander. jihyo-ssi, tell us more."

daniel sighs. "ah, you guys—" he glances left, his eyes twitching after an odd sight. "yah, you there with the camera!" he gestures at the figure to come towards him.

the man with the camera hunches behind the bushes but decides to do what he says anyway. he heads towards him with a puzzled look. "what?"

"be a little subtle, will ya?" daniel quietly slips cash into his pocket. "dispatch or fansite?"

"dispatch," jihyo quickly answers. "i don't know the guy."

seungyoun looks at her in surprise. "you remember all your fan sites?"

"recognize them at most." she replies shortly. "he's not one of them."

the man laughs. "park jihyo, how clever you are. i wonder how papa jyp will react if i tell him you were wandering off with your boyfriend.."

jihyo scoffs. "tell him that if it wasn't for me and my girls, he wouldn't have been able to purchase that new building he cherishes more than his idols."

daniel's face reddens hearing his girlfriend's snarky comeback. seungyoun cups his mouth in surprise, flapping his arms in a distinct way. "wowwwwwww burnnnn!!! seungwoo-hyung, she's doing it better than you!"

with a smug look on his face, the man with the camera leaves. daniel clears his throat. "okay, where were we again?"

"jihyo-ssi, can you please take over daniel's position instead?" wooseok grins. "i think i enjoy seeing you more than him."

"and have him as a twice member? i'm afraid that is impossible, ice dude." jihyo says briefly as she heads towards the school without anyone's orders.

seungwoo's eyes immediately shifts to seungyoun. "wait, she knows?"

jihyo winks at him before pulling daniel's arm with her. "come on, baby! i'm curious to see how the other boys look like~"

seungyoun nods in defeat. "yup. she knows. and it seems like kang daniel has a lot to explain to us."

—

"why didn't you tell me about this?!"

minhee and 'sana' are now sitting at their campaign booth after the hype somehow died down and the students have all already voted. sana rests her head on the table, only half listening to whatever minhee's on about.

"about?"

"the plan, dongpyo—" minhee slips into calling her by her real name. "you know how surprised i was? you should've told me! you should've seen yujin's face too.. when she saw you hugging me..."

"jesus christ, if she really does love you, she wouldn't care one bit." sana mutters in annoyance. "it was out of impulse, alright?! we need a plan b, chenle stole yeri's fan goods. we had no other choice."

"did you tell the hyungs about this?"

she frowns.

"sana-ssi,"

"no."

"sana-ssi!" minhee yells at her. "oh my god, you are so stupid."

she scowls. "the only one person who's stupid here is you!"

"oh, sana-ssi ~"

"yes?" her frown was immediately replaced with a delicate smile. she turns around to see a ginger haired boy standing behind her.

"i'm sorry, was i interrupting something?"

"no, not at all! we were just having a talk," she grins. "anything the matter... donghyuck-ssi?" she asks as she tries to act as if she's searching for the boy's name tag when she knows damn sure who he is.

"yes! um, would it be too much if we ask you to fill in for us.. to hype the students up?" the boy asks politely. "the thing is.. the student council leader usually takes over during the vote counting session.. but unfortunately we couldn't find him anywhere."

"really, jaemin-ssi's gone?" sana's eyes widen in surprise.

"you know jaemin?"

"i mean yes, uh.. no." she quickly adjusts herself.

fuck, i'm just not dongpyo at the moment. please get yourself together.

"we were hoping that you could do us the favor... and sing for us? a little bit?" donghyuck pleads softly with his wide eyes.

sana takes a deep breath before agreeing. "okay, i'll try—"

"great!" the boy immediately shoves his speaker and his microphone without further notice, startling both of them with the sudden voice amplification. "and now we're back with haechan radio with 37,5% viewer ratings, this is haechan speaking!" he pulls sana along with him towards the empty stage with a bunch of students eagerly waiting. "and look who we got here, our spontaneous gorgeous guest that we weren't expecting and never knew we needed, please welcome, twice's sana!"

the crowd cheers in excitement. hangyul nudges yohan who was busy signing his batch of merch. "yohan-ah, why is dongpyo up on the stage again?"

yohan shrugs. "just let him be." he waves his hand erratically to grab the boy's attention. "MINATOZAKI SANA, AISHITERU!!!!"

sana who already had the microphone brought upon her waves at him back in advance. "hehe.. okay... itadakimasu."

dohyon bursts in laughter. "did he just really replied you with itadakimasu?????"

"sana-ssi, what do you think we should be doing now for the crowd?" donghyuck asks her playfully. "maybe a little.. random play dance could hype up the mood?"

"oh, i would love that." sana gestures at him threateningly. "bring it on, full-sun!"

"he dances?" hangyul asks yohan confusedly.

yohan nods. "'girl group dance master' is literally his middle name."

"okaaaaayyy, soobin-ssi! please play the first song for us~~~"

the music starts abruptly, confirming the start of the random play dance. the first song appeals everyone's ears. the crowd goes wild

"oh my god.." dohyon covers his eyes in disgust. "we're seriously not going to be seeing him neomuhae-ing in front of everybody."

—

"what do you want?"

jaemin has followed junho into the empty corridor, with him feeling a bit unprepared because of eunsang's absence from his phone. either way, he still kept his cool, as he did not want to look any more vulnerable to the latter.

junho purses his lips. "just a little talk."

"do it quick, we have an election to attend." jaemin crosses his arms. "anything new would you like to talk about with me?"

"yes.. actually." junho sighs. "it's about your friend... lee jeno."

jaemin's breath hitches. oh my god, not him. anyone but him.

"what about him?"
