D-day has arrived, Jiyoo was about to get in the bus but when she saw Niki, she saw the wound on his jaw making her sighed.

“Niki!” Jiyoo said before Niki get in the bus.

Niki stop and looked at the person who was shouting his name.

“What’s wrong Jiyoo?” Niki asked.

“Yah! Your bus is leaving.” Jungwon said as he force Jiyoo to looked at the girls bus that already drove away.

Jiyoo was dumfounded and trying to process what just happened.

“H-how am I going to go to the company then?” Jiyoo looked at nowhere as she was deep in thoughts.

“Jiyoo?” A male staff approached her with confused look.

“Did you missed your bus?” He asked.

Jiyoo nodded and lower her head embarrassing for this moment.

“It’s okay, you can join our bus for today.” He said and pointed the bus behind her.

Jiyoo didn’t have transport so she decided to get in the bus without complaining.

She looked around as the boy in the bus looked at her confused.

“The bus left her.” The male staff said and sat his seat.

They all started to mind their own business after knowing the reason.

“Do you want to sit beside me?” Niki whispered behind her afraid that someone will hear him.

But before Jiyoo said anything, Jake puts his hand up to let Jiyoo know that he want her to sits beside him.

“I will sit beside Jake.” Jiyoo said to Niki and smile after.

Niki only looked at Jiyoo that was happy to sit beside Jake. He felt annoying that Jiyoo sat beside him and what’s more annoying is that he sat behind them with Jungwon.

“Did you sleep well?” Jake asked Jiyoo that was sitting beside the window.

“No, I was practice a lot last night. I’m crazily nervous.” Jiyoo said and yawned after.

Jake pats his shoulder “Put your head here and try to get some sleep.” Jake said and smile at Jiyoo.

“Thanks.” Jiyoo said and followed what Jake just said.

Niki who just saw that, scoffed and trying to kill some time with his phone.

The competition was so intense and Jiyoo even more nervous when she saw her team on that arena.

It was Yeonjun and Jake turn to fight with Dynamite team. The score that Yeonjun and Jake get was big enough from the Dynamite team making Jiyoo keeps getting nervous each time their team turn.

While on the other hand, Ryujin and Daniel keep winning with confident. They only lost for once when fighting with Dope5 and win for four times after.

Lea and Jungwon was in the arena fighting with Dynamite team while Jiyoo was cheering for her best friend.

“So Dope5 is taking all the medal?” Hoshi asked and laughed with the other judges.

“Lea and Jungwon that was good battle there. And for dynamite team, you both did great.” Nick said as both team bowed a little.

“I’m quite impressed even without Niki you guys still good, congrats!” Jhope praised Lea and Jungwon.

They looked behind them as the score from Dope5 team is a big gap with the Dynamite team.

Everyone was waiting for the eliminated part but what quite surprising is, the MC said something that Jiyoo hope it was not real.

“As you all know that we already announced all of you about a surprise, right?”

“Only one person on the team not doing anything which is obviously not fair. So we keep this as a surprise, a really good surprise for both losing and winning team.”

“We will have a solo fight battle.”

Rollet team looked at each other after remembered the conversation they have 2 days ago.

“Guys...” Jiyoo said and hold Ryujin hand with her shaky hand.

“The team with a low score can still get higher score by wining solo battle dance.”

“You all will get 50 percent score if you win and if you lost your score will get low for 30 percent.”

“And the fun part is, you only going to have one battle and not more than one.”

“There’s a box here with me and if you lucky, your team will not going to fight if you get an empty paper.”

With that all solo dancer get in the arena and took one of the paper. After that, they give the staff the paper without looking.

“The team will fight today is, Dynamite with infinity and Dope5 with Rollet.”

The announcement was making Jiyoo nervous and more nervous when she know that Niki will be her fight.

“Guys, it’s Niki.” Daniel said and looked at Jiyoo.

“It’s okay to lost, just go have fun.” Ryujin said and hugged Jiyoo.

The battle between Dynamite and Infinity already end and now it was Rollet and Dope5 to get in the arena.

When they already in the arena, they gave each other a smile.

“Before the battle why don’t give us some speech, Jiyoo?” Sinb said and put a mic in front of her.

“Don’t be easy on me just because I’m a girl.” Jiyoo said and getting 'ooh' by others team.

“How about you Niki?” Sinb asked.

“Don’t worry, I will make you lose.” Niki said as Jiyoo can feel her chest getting hurt by that.

The music start as Niki the one who is going to dance first. It was dark yet cool song. Niki keeps giving Jiyoo cold look making her uncomfortable

When he done, like before everyone was impressed again by him. People in the room whistle and clapping their hand for Niki.

The song change and it turns out to be sexy song again. People was laughed as well as Jiyoo. Jiyoo change her expression quickly when the beat drop.

Jiyoo was dance sexily yet giving Niki cold look. She come close to Niki and was about to touch him. Niki close his eyes waiting for a touch on his face.

He opened his eyes when he feel nothing making Jiyoo smirk while people oohing her. Jiyoo again going to touch him yet there was small gap between her hand and his skin.

Jiyoo dance backward and dancing while facing judges instead of Niki.

She end the song perfectly as everyone in that room giving her a clapped.

“That was really a hard dance.” Sinb said and laughed a little while looking at Jiyoo.

“Judges.” Sinb simply said.

“Jiyoo, again I’m impressed, you really good when it comes to sexy dance. Niki you not bad too, you making your dance look easy but in reality it’s hard.” Hoshi said with a clapped.

“I don’t know what to say, both team is great and it very cool to watch.” Jhope said and smile at them.

“Niki you did well like you always do and Jiyoo please keep this energy of yours.” Nick praised them with a simple word.

“Let’s see the result.” Sinb said as they all looked at the screen.

Jiyoo gasped as she not expect this to be happened. She looked at Niki and cried. Lea cry when she saw Jiyoo was crying. Jungwon sighed and patted Lea’s shoulder.

“It’s Niki tho.” Daniel said as he sighed and sat back to his sits.

Jiyoo team started to cry when they looked at the result. Niki looked at Jiyoo and smile at her reassuring everything is fine.

“The score is different with one point which is Niki team……”
