the next day, soonyoung, boo and i came to school early because it's the day of performance team's umm...performance. seungkwan and i were assigned to cover up chan's bruises again. we were on our way to the lab room when we heard the maknae's voice.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

soonyoung sprinted his way to the room. upon seeing jeonghan holding the boy's wrist, he didn't hesitate to hit the older male's hand away. jeonghan winced at the sudden moved and backed away.

"do not lay a finger on chan if you don't wanna lose every finger you have," soonyoung gritted his teeth "don't you dare."

"hot," seungkwan muttered as we peeked from the door frame. i looked at him with a surprised face. "what?" i asked.

"you heard me."

when the atmosphere wasn't that heavy anymore, we finally stepped in. and i was surprised when seungkwan sprayed air freshener all over the room. "smells like a douchebag in here," he muttered "oh hi jeonghan hyung, didn't see you there!"

jeonghan just stared at the boy and shook his head. then i started to work on chan's makeup using boo's collection.

"what happened to my creme lipstick?" seungkwan gasped "it's like someone used it!"

"uh oh," i mumbled

seungkwan kept complaining about the slightly broken cap of his only and only liquid lipstick while i was trying to shut my mouth up because i know who almost broke it. the diva took a makeup brush and brushed the cap lightly with a dark colored eyeshadow. i watched as a tiny fingerprint was revealed. then seungkwan put a clear tape on it.

"now we only have to identify who this thumb print belongs to."

"wow okay, how are you gonna do that though?"

-

"okay, just put your thumb here, then here," seungkwan muttered as he pressed wonwoo's thumb on the eyeshadow palette then on a piece of paper before labeling it with a name. he did the same to all the other boys before they could enter the room.

"is he that desperate to know?" chan asked me

"obviously."

"how does my bruise look?"

"getting better."

a few minutes later, i was already done with the cover up and the boy thanked me. the members of the unit decided to change into their clothes for the performance.

"guess who just ditched the vocal team yesterday," jihoon uttered when he entered the room "and look who's here!" we all know that the boy was talking about jeonghan. i mean, obviously, he wanted to see chan yesterday that's why he didn't go to his unit's performance.

hansol, on the other hand, was quiet when he saw jeonghan inside the room. 6:57 in the morning and performance team was already dressed up in black. then out of nowhere, i received a message.

i glanced over boo who was silently laughing while facing his phone. what an idiot. jihoon sat next to me, wanting me to massage his hands again oh my goodness.

"no, i'm not doing it."
"why?" he asked

"because you have to do aegyo first."

"fuck this shit, i'm out," jihoon muttered but then i pulled him back, saying that i was joking.

we waited for another ten minutes inside the lab room before we headed to the venue, as usual. this time, i was going to be with the boys on the front row. no daein at all, what a perfect day. seungcheol and mingyu fixed their handmade banner for chan before the show started.

i was seated between jihoon and seokmin. and yes, i was ready for seokmin's unlimited stories for the rest of the show.

"hey ji," i called

"what?"

"do you remember the fruit duo?"

"what fruit duo? oh," jihoon muttered "we're gonna have another song again, to be honest."

"but you're no longer fruits," i sighed "soonyoung's hair is red and yours is black."

"blackberry and strawberry," he replied before hitting his forehead with his palm "what? who said that?"

"did you know that the pineapple is actually a berry!?" seokmin asked us with a huge grin on his face "and to cut a pineapple, after lopping off the top and the bottom, stand the fruit up and use a sharp knife to shave off the skin. the sweetest part of a pineapple is its outermost flesh, however, which means you should slice the skin off the sides as thinly as possible and you should leave the eyes or you will lose too much yumminess!! then you will-"

"ah, there you are again with your fruit facts, seokmin," wonwoo muttered as he grabbed seok's ear "please don't mind him."

i chuckled as wonwoo pulled seokmin away from us because the boy couldn't keep his mouth shut. it was so adorable. the show started and yes, the writer is too lazy to write about what happened so let's skip to the performance unit.

finally, the stage dimmed and seventeen's group logo appeared. seungcheol and mingyu raised their banners up and the other boys started cheering for the four boys lying on the stage. i was so excited to see them perform that i kept hitting seokmin's arm for every millisecond.

when soonyoung started singing, seokmin and i screamed in unison. i don't even know why, but it just happened. next was minghao and i was already having a seizure. like what the hell, it's not even a minute yet and i'm already dying.

"keep it family friendly!" joshua was shouting from the audience for every controversial moves the boys do on stage. junhui looked so perfect, i'm so proud. seokmin was so hyped that he kept hitting everyone while jihoon was just watching the performance with a smile on his face. on the other hand, seungkwan was doing cheerleader moves.

nobody aside from us noticed that chan was lip syncing, and that's a good thing. at the end, we all clapped our hands. man, i enjoyed the performance, mostly because daein isn't next to me!!!

"OMG OMG OMG!" i shrieked "they did THAT!"

"yeah," jihoon agreed

"what's your comment, judge?" mingyu asked jihoon

"it's okay."

"hot," seungkwan added, and i gave him a glare before we both laughed it off.

before the show ended, everyone was reminded that the tomorrow is going to be the final day of performance week. therefore, the winners will be announced, including the ranks for the teasers.

"ugh i remember the teaser," seungcheol facepalmed

"we're gonna win."

as we made our way to the backstage, i heard a couple of performers talking about how minghao looked like the cute boy on the latest snickers commercial. i chuckled to myself because it is him.

"hello!" chan cheered when the boys and i came. he had just changed into a different shirt, because that's what doctor doyoung told him to do. we congratulated them and i ran to hug soonyoung, telling him that he did great.

seungkwan wanted to go get snacks for a bit, then we met up with daein, who was wearing a jigglypuff onesie while holding a pink starbucks drink. she greeted us in a high pitched voice when she saw us.

"wow, extra," i muttered

"i like your outfit, is it supposed to make you look like a clown?" seungkwan asked

"uhm no," daein rolled her eyes "jigglypuff is my favorite pokémon."

"because that's the only pokémon you know aside from pikachu. okay," boo chuckled

"hey stop bitching with me when i'm being nice," daein replied

"and your niceness is just as fake as the bag you're wearing."

"excuse you!" daein gasped "my palm springs backpack mini is original!"

"bitch where? the o's in the louis vuitton are too elongated and oval instead of a more round circle," seungkwan snapped his fingers "you obviously don't know how to pick an original."

"how could i trust you? you don't even own one!"

"oh i do, daein," boo replied "talk to me about bags when you're already on my level, hun."

seungkwan grabbed my wrist and dragged me away from the girl. after a while, we went back to the boys with the snacks and started to gobble all up. i talked to chan about daein's jigglypuff onesie and he cringed big time, as a pokémon fan.

jeonghan didn't join us for the rest of the day, as usual, because he was with daein. before the boys and i headed home, seungkwan reminded me to bring dry ice.

"what for?"

"oh you know what for," he chuckled

"i'm serious, i don't know."

"well you'll know," seungkwan winked "wonwoo and jihoon helped me with this crazy idea and we're gonna do it!"

"we?"

"yes, you're included because you're a part of the wizards and i'm your leader," he said

"probably the dumbest leader ever," jihoon crossed his arms "so, minseul, we'll see you at 4am."

"4am?! where!?" i asked

"in soonyoung's house,"

"ugh."

"did you know? dry ice is particularly useful for freezing, and keeping things frozen because of its very cold temperature!" seokmin happily told us again, before getting dragged away by wonwoo.

then seungkwan handed me a piece of paper

"that's not the whole school map, but keep that. i will explain everything when we meet again, okay?"
