IDOLS AND DORM ADVENTURES

[SECTION: Enamor + Mesmer]

Four girls smiled as they made their way up a few flights of stairs, three of them behind one that was grabbing the keys out of her back pocket and opened the front door to a small apartment.

"Oh wow! It looks so nice," the youngest of the four, a Japanese girl said as they entered to look around. The basic things being in the apartment already, like appliances and a couch in the living room. "I got so used to literally cuddling with Aurelia and Juna that I forgot that for some rooms, I have my own bed-"

"You had your own bed in the trainee dorms, you just refused to sleep alone and would crawl into someone's bed at night," Aurelia said, rolling her eyes playfully at the younger girl then rushing over to the bedrooms. "I call dibs on the bigger one!"

"There is no bigger one Lia, they're both the same size." Heejin said, crossing her arms as she and Boram quietly made their way around the place looking and inspecting things to make sure everything was fine and where they needed to be. "But we are going to have to decide who gets what room."

"Can you and I share?" Boram spoke looking at the leader; almost making the oldest laugh at how quickly the shy girl asked that question.

"Wait! Why can't I share with Heejin-unni? I mean Aurelia and I already had our roommate arc," Meii said with a small frown as the four girls stood in a nicely clean kitchen looking amongst each other.

"Oh-" Heejin said, looking around before talking. "I mean why fix what isn't broken? Aurelia is your go-to cuddle buddy no? If you room with me, I'll be too grumpy to let you and Boram you know won't let you."

The Japanese maknae frowned but pondered for a second before sighing as she looked over at Aurelia and grabbed her arm.

"I guess you can't escape me Aurelia, now let me call dibs on the better bed." Meii said, dragging the girl into their new shared room.

"Nice save," Boram said softly with a small laugh as they watched the two younger girls leave. "Didn't Jihyo-unni and the others say they were going to help?"

"They did, I think they're ready at the main building, let's go?"

"Yeah" Boram said before calling out softly for the other two, Heejin repeating the call out when they didn't come out of the room and then the four leaving the apartment.

After a while, 10 girls had now returned to the new apartment, majority of them carrying boxes and those who weren't were carrying other items such as clothes on hangers already. Various girls came in and out of the living room as they moved things around.

"So how did you two decide on the roommates? Cause we did ours with old dorm setups. Like what we were used to." Jihyo asked looking over at Heejin as the other girls brought in more boxes.

"We kind of did too, I mean Aurelia and Meii were already roommates in the trainee dorms but also Boram and I have a lot of things we wouldn't want breaking and those two are quite literally the clumsiest people in the company so," Heejin responded to the fellow leader with a small shrug of her shoulders. Jihyo laughed as she nodded her head in agreement.

"When does the debut drop?" Reina asked as she helped with a box in her arms, following behind Boram who only sighed and opened the door to one of the rooms so that the two could put the boxes down. "Are you guys nervous?"

"Extremely," Boram said with a small frown as she opened up the box that landed on her bed and started to unpack things that were in it. "We've been practicing almost non-stop-"

"She's not even joking either, literally non-stop!" Another voice was heard entering the room. The two were unpacking and putting things away. "Like- I love Heejin-unni so much but I'm kind of sick of our debut song already because of how often I heard it-"

"Ah, HQ really knows how to pick their leaders huh? Jihyo was the exact same way when we debuted." Reina said with a small shrug as she started taking out some of Boram's clothes from the box and placing them flat on the bed.

"Tell me about it," Aurelia rolled her eyes playfully leaning against the wall as she watched the two. "I'm excited though- I mean on the bright side, we go from sharing our rooms between four girls to only two now."

"It's going to be like every day is a sleepover!" Meii said excitedly as she made her own entrance into the room. "Although I don't know why Heejin-unni didn't want to room with me-"

"Meii, I'm very much your number one fan but trust me when I say if any of my things got broken, I will find a way to kick you out of the group-"

"Ah! Don't say that," Meii complained hearing Heejin from the living room as she pouted and made her way out of the current room to find the oldest of the group.

"She really is the definition of a maknae." Reina said, shaking her head slightly at Aurelia who only laughed and Boram who stayed focused on folding up the clothes that were on her head.

For a good while, the Enamor girls helped carry and place boxes down in respected rooms, all 10 of them laying down around the living room once the work was done.

"Okay how about, I treat everyone to some food?" Jihyo said smiling as she stood up and stretched, the girls still tried but cheered loudly. "How do we feel about some barbecue?"

"Oh please! I need some protein in me like yesterday," Kina said happily as she aggressively waved the fan in her hands by her face as she dramatically complained.

"I don't think I've had good meat since before I became a trainee," Mei Na said with a small frown as she rolled her head around a few times to get a knot out of her back. "Boram, what was in that box I was carrying? I feel like I just lifted a bunch of bricks."

Boram looked over at Aurelia who the majority of the time did the speaking for the girl, the older of the two shrugging her shoulders and Aurelia turned to look at Mei Na.

"Her books," the American stated. "And trust me, she has a lot so be grateful that Jihyo-unni ended up carrying the majority of the book boxes."

"Wait- you got all that from Boram shrugging?" Yewon said softly with a tilted head looking at the two girls on the couch.

"Oh yeah! Meii and I have gotten super good at understanding Boram without her really needing to talk." Aurelia said, smiling with a small shrug, Meii nodding beside her. "She has this look in her eyes when she doesn't talk so it's kind of easy."

"That's so cool!" Harin said, smiling as she looked over at her group mates. "I wish we could do that-"

"I volunteer to have Kina as the mute-"

"Mei Na!" Jihyo said, throwing a pillow at the girl who only whined and grabbed onto the pillow that was thrown at her. "Enough talking, or jokes about not talking, are we getting food or not?"

"Yes!"

"Hiroya I'm not doing this, what if we get in trouble?"

"Oh come on, don't be a buzzkill Haru," the Japanese boy said with a small frown as he connected the wire to both sides of the door, Haru looking around the hallway to make sure no one was coming.

"No way they fall for this though," Seojin said with a small chuckle as he leaned against the wall, also on the look out as Hiroya finished and stood up, patting his own back.

"Okay now Seojin, you call Elliot and tell him it's an emergency and to run," Hiroya said nodding his head as he grabbed Haru's hand to pull him away from the door as Seojin followed them, taking his phone out and calling the latter.

"Hey what's up?"

"Elliot! Come quick! We're outside the male dorms and Hiroya pushed Haru down the stairs!"

"Huh?! I'm coming hold up!"

Seojin quickly rushed to hang up, snickering as he looked over at the two other boys. Hiroya glaring at him and Haru frowning.

"Why would you push me down the stairs?" Haru mumbles looking over at Hiroya with a hurt expression.

"Haru- I didn't actually push you down the stairs-"

"Yeah but Seojin-hyung-"

Before more words could be said, the door, that the tripwire was at, flew opened with a male quickly rushing to get out of the room. Falling over as his foot went onto the wire and landing hands first onto the ground as the other three boys laughed grabbing his attention.

"There's no way I just got punked!" Elliot whined as Haru quickly rushed over to help the male up who accepted his hand and stood up.

"Woah what was that sound?! Is everyone okay?!" Kyeongwoo said running out of the room, stepping over the wire he saw last second and staring at the now four boys in the hallway.

"That was Elliot falling on his face cause we pranked him," Seojin said still chuckling as Elliot frowned and pushed his shoulders lightly.

"Oh this is so not over I hope you three know that," Elliot said crossing his arms. "You all may not know this but Kyeongwoo here is a master of pranks."

"Woah, I'm getting involved?"

"They just pranked your roommate! You have to have my back twinnie," Elliot said frowning at the boy who only smiled and rolled his eyes playfully. "Everyone in this dorm floor should be scared!" He said, practically yelling, as he meant to get the attention of anyone near by.

"Why are we yelling?" Hyeon frowned as he opened the door out of his own room, looking at the boys still out in the hallway.

"Room 2 just pranked me so I'm going to get them back," Elliot said with pride as he swung his hand over Kyeongwoo's shoulders.

"Oh no way you Cypher tripped him-" Hyeon said laughing as he looked at the wire on the door and looked over at Hiroya who laughed loudly again and nodded.

"They're talking nerd talk, I'm out." Seojin joked getting pushed by Hiroya's shoulders this time making him complain and push back.

"Instead of pranks like little kids.." a voice came from the stairs catching everyone's attention who faced towards that direction. "How about we act like big boys, split into two groups and do a few challenges."

"Ah our Bitgaram, always so smart." Elliot says clapping his hands together and jokingly bowing towards the older.

"I'm not going to be a team captain don't start to kiss ass Jung," Bitgaram chuckled lowly as he crossed his arms and stood in front of the boys. "How about it? We haven't really done anything as a unit. We can do like boxing or something-"

"Boxing?!" Haru said worriedly, gipping onto Hiroya's arm who whined at the pain.

"It's an idea. We can do various things and if we need people to judge. We can have some of the girls." Bitgaram said shrugging.

"We're boxing the girls?" Kyeongwoo asked with his head tilted.

"Wait? No! We have them judge," the older said shaking his head as he flicked the twin's forehead.

"He has a point, instead of having to clean the dorms after all the dumb pranks, I like this idea more." Hyeon said with a small shrug leaning against the wall.

"Okay it's official then. We split into two groups, 8 boys each and have 3 girls be judges." Elliot said nodding his head. "Who's team captains?"

"Haru is one," Hiroya said moving his head towards the youngest boy who looked shock. "And since it started with us, Elliot you're the other one."

"Okay someone text the male group chat and tell them to get their butts outside, I'll text three girls to judge." Seojin said as the others all agreed and started walking out towards the staircase, Hiroya quickly being the one to text the group chat as Haru guided him down the stairs.

"Okay so the team captains are Haru and Elliot. Do rock, paper, scissors to decide who picks someone first." Bitgaram stated as he stood in between the two said boys who quickly did the game, Elliot throwing paper while Haru threw rock.

"I win!" Elliot cheered happily then hummed and looked around at the boys who were all there looking at him. "I'll take Lumin, you seem active."

Bai Lumin smiled as he jogged his way over to be next to Elliot.

"I choose Hiroya." Haru said, smiling as the Japanese boy nodded and walked over to him.

"Okay then Hyeon come on," Elliot said, nodding as he kept looking around the boys.

"Seojin," Haru said after a few whispers from the Japanese boy next to him.

It went on for a bit while longer until finally the groups of eight were decided, three girls making their way over to the field where the boys were waiting for them.

GROUP ELLIOT: Elliot Jung, Bai Lumin, Lee Hyeon, Zyran Alterium, Li Wenjie, Shin Kyeongwoo, Yang Dohyun, Kim Johan
GROUP HARU: Park Haru, Kobayashi Hiroya, Lee Jongsu, Choi Jaewoo, Carmen Park, Han Bitgaram, Kang Seojin, and Seo Taehan

"We were called." Kyungjae said, using her hand to block the sun as she sighed. "This better be important."

"It is! We're having a boys only competition." Elliot said excitedly, making the three girls raise their eyebrows and look towards the oldest boys.

"We thought it would be fun," Zyran said with a small shrug in response to the girls' questioning facial expressions.

"Okay and I'm assuming because we're not boys, we're here to..judge?" Hea said with her head tilted to the side as the boys responded with nodding their heads. "What's the challenge?"

"What's the prize?" Dahyeon added in the second question.

"First challenge is a relay race," Kang Seojin said.

"Second challenge is going to a random dance." Carmen added smiling happily as it was his suggestion.

"And the third challenge is a fist fight!"

"No it isn't Hyeon," Jongsu laughed but rolled his eyes. "The last challenge a prank on our sunbaenims-"

"Oh? Who gets who?" Kyungjae asked.

"Team Elliot has to prank Enamor-sunbaenims," Elliot said, smirking. "Team Haru gets Mesmer-sunbaenims."

"Oh I'm excited for that one," Hea said smiling as she clapped her hands and looked at the two girls who agreed. "Okay so let's start with the race boys!"

The said boys made their way to the larger field, talking amongst themselves to pick the four boys who will be doing the race.

"Team Elliot is bringing out Zyran, Hyeon, Dohyun, and me Elliot," the American boy said loudly.

"We're bringing out Hiroya, Bitgaram, Seojin, and Jaewoo" Haru then added as the girls nodded and motioned for the boys to get into their positions.

The first two boys up are Zyran and Bitgaram getting into starting position with the three girls to their right side.

"Ready? Set, Go!" Hea exclaims as the two boys quickly start to run towards their teammates waiting for them, Zyran being slightly faster than the other and tapping Elliot in as Bitgaram taps Hiroya in a second later.

Those two boys then start running, Hiroya speeding up and passing Elliot in the last second as he taps Seojin in and Elliot taps Dohyun in afterwards.

Seojin and Dohyun end up being the exact same speed, tapping in the last two boys Hyeon and Jaewoo in at the exact same time.

"All these for bragging rights," Dahyeon said to the two girls with a small laugh as she rolled her eyes as the boys running almost crossed the finish line.

It was close, Hyeon coming across the line first and cheering loudly as the other boys of his team also cheered loudly.

"One point Team Elliot!" The American said happily as he patted Hyeon's back as the two final runners were trying to catch their breaths. "And next challenge in the bag, might as well give up now Haru."

Haru frowned looking over at his team that all shook their heads and glared at the other boy.

"Not true, we have some of the best dancers in the company- and you don't think Carmen knows a bunch of girl group songs?" Jongsu asked, shaking his head as the said girl group know-er nodded his head.

"Okay enough talking smack! Actions are greater than words, boys," Dahyeon said, clapping her hands together and signaling all of the boys that were there to follow her, Hea, and Kyungjae.

The nineteen people make their way into the biggest practice room, Kyungjae opening the door and walking over to connect her phone to the speakers in the room.

"You guys know how this works. Song comes up, you dance and if you don't dance, you're out."

"What if we make up our own dance but we keep dancing?" Johan asked with a tilted head.

"Doesn't count! Okay let's begin."

The first song to come up was Enamor's Eleven, most of the boys quickly getting into their positions and some of them hesitating. But all sixteen boys do the choreography easily, some better than others.

The next song to play is Seraph's Feel Like making Zyran laugh as he's pushed into the front line as all of the sixteen end up doing the dance perfectly.

"Yo tell me why Zyran is hesitating when it's literally his own choreography!" Jaewoo exclaims from the back making the other boys including Zyran laugh as the next song loads up.

The next song being Cat and Dog by TXT, some of the boys start to look at each other and others quickly get ready to dance.

"Bitgaram come on, out." Hea calls out, making the boy sigh and put his hands up as he exits the dance section of the room and stands next to the three girls. "Next song!"

Next song being Tell Me by Wonder Girls, some of the boys laughing as Hiroya, Haru, and Carmen all go towards the front as the song starts.

"Dohyun we saw you, that's an out." Hea points towards the boy who nods and jogs over to be next to Bitgaram who only shakes his head as the two laugh about being out first.

The next song to come up is Very Nice by Seventeen, most of the boys nod as they look and start to dance the song and a few of them try but don't know the dance by heart.

"Taehan, Hyeon. It's out." Kyungjae calls out and motions the two boys to come towards them. "It's even between the teams so far."

Next song that comes up is Super Lady by G-idle making some of the boys look nervous and others shake their heads as they begin the choreography.

"Jongsu, do better, come on." Dahyeon laughs as she tilts her head to the boy who only sighs and leaves to stand next to the eliminated boys. "This next one might get some of you."

The boys look nervous as Cake by Itzy starts playing, making most of the boys stand confused as very few of them start to dance the choreography.

"Oh woah I was right- pack it up Kyeongwoo, Johan, Jaewon and Seojin." Dahyeon states clapping her hands firmly as the boys listen. "That leaves four boys for Team Elliot and three boys for Team Haru."

"Let's go!" The members of Team Elliot cheer loudly as Kyungjae gets ready to play the next song.

"Let's have some fun with this one." Kyungjae says with a small smirk.

The next song to come up is Ping Pong by (just) DAWN making Wenjie put his hands up right away and move out of the dancing section. Leaving the couples as Elliot and Lumin, Zyran and Carmen, then Haru and Hiroya.

"I'm not doing the female part again!" Elliot whines loudly as Kyungjae only smirks bigger and plays the next song: Trouble Maker by Trouble Maker. "No!"

"Do you want to win or not?" Lumin asks, complaining but laughing.

"I don't even know it!" Elliot admits as the other two pairs start doing the choreography, Elliot and Lumin tapping out as everyone cheers at the other two pairs doing the choreography perfectly.

"Only Zyran is left for Team Elliot and we have Haru, Hiroya, and Carmen left for Team Haru." Dahyeon clears up, making the sulking Elliot sulk more.

The next song to come up is Standing Next To You by Jungkook making Carmen frown as he exits out leaving the final three boys to do the choreography.

The next song to come up is Love Shot by EXO, all three boys know it and do it perfectly, making all the other boys cheer loudly. Afterwards, the song I Am The Best by 2NE1 plays and Zyran hesitates to remember the choreography moving his hands slightly.

"Come on! You know this!" Elliot cheers on loudly as the chorus starts to play and only Haru and Hiroya dance the song.

"Team Haru wins!" Hea exclaims, clapping her hands. "That means the score is currently 1 and 1!"

"Well this next one we have! We're going to pull the greatest prank." Elliot says proudly as the three girls laugh and signal the boys to move and out of the room.

"Are you sure about that?" Kyungjae says as she ushers the boys out, Haru opens the door for the rest but as soon as the door is opened. Sprays of water start, the boys yelling in shock as they're being drenched in water from water guns. Seeing ten girls all with water guns in front of the door.

"I just got this shirt!" Johan says with a small frown as the ten girls let the water go until they've run out making all the boys complain, some of them hiding behind others.

"No one is pranking us," Kina says as she moves over to smack Elliot in the head who pouts.

"Wait- how did you girls know?" Bitgaram asks with a tilted head, pushing his now wet hair back as the boys look at them confused.

"Hea texted us that we were apparently going to get pranked for a little male competition so we decided to just out do you all before you could," Jihyo says with a laugh as the other Enamor and Mesmer members nod.

"I guess that means we are tied?" Haru says looking for Elliot.

"Or we could just say the girls won," Heejin says smiling as she shrugs her shoulders.

"That's so unfair! You guys weren't even involved-"

"Sucks to suck! We won!" Meii says happily as the boys groan and all ten idols plus the three female trainees laugh and high five each other.

"Girls win!" Kina exclaims as they walk away leaving the boys to look at each other, all now covered in water, some of them shaking their now wet hair.

"Tied in our eyes." Elliot mumbles looking over at Haru who nods and the two shake hands happily.
