Jeongin iz baby and that's on PERIOD. (he's also my bias)

Day of the school's festival.

Every students gathered around their own group, preparing for the upcoming show they're presenting. Some students were busy building food stands, some other were trying out the stage by themselves. The teacher? Too busy to lend a hand since they have to update their Instagram story, though everyone's certain that no one's going to see it anyway.

Straight Kids were all cramped inside the small restroom with another 21 members of Nipple Coming Tonight (NCT). Whoever walked inside the restroom should be able to identify which member belongs to which group because of the contrast. NCT members wore the same black clothing but with different styles depending on each member. In contrary to NCT, Straight Kids' members wore vibrant clothing, matched with colorful wigs.

Chan wore a Kangaroo onesie, representing the character 'Kanga' from Winnie the Pooh. Woojin was dressing as Grizzly from We Bear Bears. Jeongin wore all pink clothing as he was roleplaying Princess Bubblegum. Minho wore a turquoise pigtails and intricate costume—being the Hatsune Miku he was, whereas Jisung was portraying Sandy Cheeks with his space suit and purple bikini inside. Seungmin dressed as Sailor Moon, whereas Hyunjin as Sailor Moon's love interest: Tuxedo Mask. Changbin became the infamous anime crush: Levi Ackerman, although he was planning to be a Titan and unfortunately switched characters so it won't be too vulgar. Lastly, we have Felix Lee... dressing as Kanye West like he promised to do. (if you're not familiar with the cartoon/anime characters, feel free to look on the internet)

"Are you going to took off your astronaut clothes and show off your bikini at the end of the performance?" Felix peeked through Jisung's helmet in the most platonic way as possible. "Believe me, the audience will go cray cray when your boyfie will be jell-o jelly."

"No fucking way, Kanye." Jisung covered Felix's eyes as he received multiple questioning glare from the thick thigh's Hatsune Miku.

"Listen up, Kardashians! Let's do our final practice on the stage," Chan ordered the boys to go up. NCT had just finished their stage try out, so now they could try out the stage too.

Each NCT and Straight Kids member high-fived each other's faces in enjoyment. Perhaps the two groups had formed some sort of tough love relationship. Despite all the spirit to slap all faces, NCT went all soft and motherly when they were met with Jeongin's pink hair. Life is not fair, it will never be. No matter how hard Jisung tried to be a nice person, his position would eventually got beaten out to the bottom by the actual God, Jeongin himself. Ariana Grande said that God is a woman, but in this Alternate Universe, God is Yang Jeongin.

When Jisung was climbing up the stairs to reach the stage, he accidentally bumped to one of NCT's member.

"Watch where you're going, Space Guy!" The guy who Jisung identified as Park Jisung winced in pain as he bumped Jisung's helmet.

Jisung didn't want to lose to another Jisung. "You! Watch your step, would you? I bet you don't receive vaccination when you were younger," He teased the younger with a smug adhered to his face.

"Uh, what?" Park Jisung was beyond confused.

"Yo, Lee Taeyong!" Han Jisung called, waving at NCT's leader with a fake smile on his face. Not understanding the situation he's in, Taeyong asked the typical "What" question to him.

"You better get your kids vaccinated so they don't catch these hands."

The younger shot him an intense glare and warned, "There can only be one Jisung and that's me."

"Don't be silly. I bet you forgot one of our school's alumnus name is Yoon Jisung. There are probably 1000 other Jisung in this world and we can't do anything about it because—let's face it, our parents are uncreative." He air-kissed the younger a goodbye then continued climbing up the stairs.

"What took you so long?" Chan didn't look pleased at all. Jisung bowed in response, still, it couldn't fix anything. Of course Jisung couldn't admit that he had an argument with another Jisung from another group. Henceforth, they're standing on the stage five feet apart because they're kinda gay.

Felix cued the music team. "Five! Four! Three, two, one, go!" Performing with Straight Kids tonight, the special music team called DaySex from the infamous Jay Why Pee University would keep them company along with the performance (Chan hired and paid them all).

One of DaySex member; Kim Wonpil was about to play his signature instrument: the lauchpad, until his movement was stopped by the principal's command.

The principal, also known as Mr. Jung grabbed the microphone to announce, "Okay, kids. Practice time's over. Please go backstage for the performing groups today. The others may go to your places as well. Many people have arrived already, so do your best." Damn, Straight Kids haven't even practiced.

Felix was counting on Jisung. Jisung was counting on Chan. Chan was counting on Woojin. Woojin was counting on Minho. Minho was counting on Hyunjin. Hyunjin was counting on Seungmin. Seungmin was counting on Jeongin. Jeongin was counting on Changbin. And Changbin was counting on Jisung. Meanwhile, nobody counted on Felix. Poor boy.

From the back of his head, Jisung could sense people's mouth murmuring different names. Howbeit, he was convinced that whoever those people were, they're talking about their parents' attendance on today's festival.

Tapping down Jumin's number faster than Quicksilver since he was too lazy to search his contact on the contact list, his mind was preparing the most polite way to persuade him over. As soon as the call was picked up, he began speaking, "Good afternoon, Jumin Han. Judging from the excellent weather today, I suddenly think about you. I mean... wouldn't it be perfect to watch the school's festival with a glass of red wine and Elizabeth the 3rd on your lap?"

The voice from the other line responded, "I have my own principles  and I am not easily persuaded. Besides, festivals are very noisy. The noise is never ending. I must reinstall the sound insulation." Jumin's voice was getting more and more distant as if he was being serious about the sound insulation problem.

"Chan's father is here, you two can make business plan together." Jisung just wouldn't give up.

"I like my meetings organized and in moderate place. Just how I like ruled notebooks. Disorder only leads to chaos." Jisung wanted to intrude once more, but he was too late. "As said, I am not easily persuaded. Good afternoon, Jisung." And then the call ended.

He exhaled a lot of bullshit in effort to not lose his sanity. After he redone the process 300 times 3000, the boy was cocksure that he's now calm and fine. That level of confidence didn't last long. Moreover, it vanished away the moment he heard their group name being announced by the MC. Luck wasn't on Straight Kids side, but there's nothing that can be done.

Minho seemed to notice the oddness in Jisung's energy. His bright, savage, and wild energy were covered with stage fright and disappointment. Jisung had always wanted to introduce Minho to Jisung and show off his skill. However, the reality is far from what is expected.

To be quite honest, Minho wasn't at his best stage at the moment. His body had been freezing cold due to the change of season. Summer was fading away and so were his warmth. He wasn't good with finding solutions, thus he could only provide Jisung with a cold hug. His mouth was hungry for one of Jisung's kisses, yet he wore a shit ton of make up that shouldn't be ruined.

The turquoise haired Hatsune Miku comfortably laid his pigtails on Jisung's chest. "There's nothing that can be done."

"There is! If I can rearrange my sentence so it would've sounded more convincing." Jisung was being sulky. Minho was feeling cold, yet they still walked on stage together hand in hand.

"There's nothing that can be done. Just like my hands will never be as warm as yours." Yes, Minho's hands were cold. However, he was referring to his loneliness. Jisung was sad because his father refused to come to the festival, whereas Minho couldn't even invite his parents anymore.

With the spotlight being directed to his body, it's now the time to perform.  Felix cued them all. "Five! Four! Three two, one!" DaySex began to play their instrument. The ocean of crowd cheered like crazy. DaySex played their instrument for a good 30 seconds while Straight Kids were dancing in sync.

Then DaySex suddenly stopped playing the instruments as they have finished the introduction. Now's the killing part, Changbin's part.

Stepping his foot on the speaker underneath, he took the center of the stage. The spotlight focused on him like everyone else. Chan couldn't remember how much he had prayed for Changbin to not mess up.

Using his rarely used low voice, his lips inched closer to the microphone.

"Kneel down, you pigs!"

"The stage is ours now," Jisung said as he stole the microphone away from Changbin Ackerman.

Then the crowd cheered on Mariah Carey's whistle note. Jisung was so sexy; the girls got nosebleed, the boys turned gay, the teacher peed on their pants, and Minho was having a cardiac arrest.

Chan shouted to the crowd, "STRAIGHT KIDS!"

"Buying shit like a lemonade, 'til your ass got squeezed like a lemonade~" Chan sang the first verse perfectly.

Seungmin continued the song, "Holy shit, fucking lemonade. Bitches showering fucking lemonade.."

"Lemon bitch, watch your nasty hand. Why you littering on the lovely land~"

"Get your plastic bag outta the damn way, we got shopping bag running through the way!"

Changbin began rapping. "Ladies and Gentlegay, welcome to the milky way. Plastic who? Don't know her, I only hear fucking Straight Kids song. Say this flop, fucking thot. Seungmin may choke you a lot. Say what, bitch? Save the earth, but first Straight Kids fuck you down to earth."

Hearing his friends trying their ass off, Jisung was no longer nervous. In fact, he was so eager to rap his part.

After performing a back flip with his Sandy Cheek's costume, he stole the microphone to rap the next verse. He gotta admit that it was fun. Better than he was expecting. Although his father wasn't here, he still performed with no regrets.

Damn I didn't expect this book to receive such attentions. Thank you all. Btw sorry for the performance part (I made up those lyrics), y'all probably think I'm drunk when I was typing those. But remember, I'm always drunk.
