"So... is she going to stop practicing any time soon?" Robin asked, worried.

It was currently 10 pm and all the girls were currently all washed up and were about to get ready for bed.

All except for Mya.

She had locked herself in her room and had been practicing that one specific section of O.O for the past two hours.

"I get that she's worried, but if won't her vocal chords be super damaged if she keeps practicing hitting that?" Alaska asked, concerned.
"Well, what can we do? There's no way she'll stop," Mari pointed out. "She's about as stubborn as a mule!"

As the girls continued to hm and huff, unbeknownst to them, Mya had actually come out of her practice prison to refill her 2L water bottle with more hot water. (She never drinks water.)

In fact she was so quiet that none of the girls had noticed until Lanhua had looked up from her brainstorming and noticed Mya trying to slip back into her room.

"Mya!"

Immediately, all the other members stood up, trying to block Mya's way back to her room.

The youngest sighed and pulled out her phone.

The older girls stared questioningly at her while she typed away furiously. When she was done, she held out her phone which showed a blank white screen with a bunch of black lettering on it.

"Not using my voice unless practicing..." Renee read out. "Mya, are you serious? This isn't healthy!"

The maknae began to type out again, her fingers flying across her phone keyboard.

"Everything I do isn't healthy!" Riley read.

Mya sighed again and tried to push the other girls out of the way to get back to her room, but the other Bittersweet wall held firm.

Mya huffed and looked at them angrily, but still didn't speak.

"Mya, you need to stop!" Riley demanded. "If you continue, your voice is going to be in horrible condition for tomorrow!"

The Chinese girl looked away, not meeting Riley's eyes.

"I understand that you want to be perfect for tomorrow because of your blunder today, but practicing until your voice is run dry isn't the way to go about it either!"

Mya's eyes filled with tears as she finally spoke, "I just don't want to ruin everything for you guys."

The girls immediately pulled her into a group hug.

"You're not going to ruin anything, Mya," Lanhua reassured. "We promise that no matter what happens won't set us back. It's unreasonable to immediately be able to hit a crazy high note in less than a week! I'm sure not even Lily could do it in a week!"

Mya just sniffled as she buried her head into Robin's chest.

"No one is going to be disappointed with you if you can't do it, Mya. I promise you," Alaska whispered. "No one is going to turn their back on you and think that you're a failure."

Silence filled the room as all the girls continued to hold their youngest until her sobbing faded away.

The next day in the dressing room, the atmosphere was clearly tense.

All the girls while getting their make up and hair done were all quiet.

There was a lot hanging on the line today; they had already lost one challenge and they would need to prove that they were strong enough to come back from that loss and take the win.

After a long moment, Mya spoke up.

"Seas0n is performing before us today, right?"

Renee nodded and took a deep breath in.

"You girls have probably got at least two hours until its your turn to perform, but this time around, we will be watching Seas0n perform from a spot in the audience instead of the wings like last time."

Mya nodded and went back to being silent.

Glancing down at her phone, she noticed a notification on it. She clicked on it, opening up her messages.

-September 2-

Jeongin 🧸
MyMy!
I seen a bunch of cameras being wheeled
to one of the rooms, so I'm assuming
that today is a filming day
Are you ready?

MyMy🎀
No
I'm terrified out of my mind

Jeongin 🧸
What?
Are you okay?

MyMy🎀
I don't know if I want to talk about it

Jeongin 🧸
You really don't have to
I just want you to know that I'm wishing
you luck today
You have all my supports and my votes

MyMy🎀
Thank you Jeongin <3
I really appreciate that

She put her phone down, feeling the slightest bit better. At least she knew she had at least one person that wasn't her team supporting her.

She remained quiet until her make up and hair was done. She was the last member of Bittersweet to get it done and when she stood up, Renee clapped her hands three times.

"Line up to get your costumes!"

After all the girls were dressed and ready to go, Renee gestured them into the hallway to take a picture.

Mya put on her best smile, but had butterflies beginning to fly around in her stomach.

So as soon as the mini photoshoot was over, she hurried into the dressing room to warm up and practice her high note for the last time.

Riley sighed as she watched the girl disappear.

"She's going to keep practicing until the last second, isn't she?" Alaska asked quietly.

All the other girls nodded as they heard rather loud lip trills from inside the room.

"Should we stop her...?" Mari asked, hesitantly.
"No," Renee sighed. "We need to let her keep going or she might lose her mind on us."
"Hasn't she already lost it?" Robin pointed out.

The girls all stayed quiet once again.

Then all of a sudden, the O.O instrumental started up again from the hook and Mya was singing Haewon's part to warm up her voice for the big note.

The six other girls shared a glance and then zoomed in front of the door to press their ears into it so they could all hear better.

And then... she hit it.

Flawlessly.

The girls all perked up instantly as if they were suddenly recharged, but the next thing they knew, they all tumbled to the ground as the door opened.

"Did you guys hear that?! I hit it- wha, huh?! What are you all doing on the ground?!" Mya asked, surprised.
"Good job baby," Riley said, a bit sheepishly. "We're all proud."

Two hours later, the girls were in their seats listening to Sana and Dahyun introduce Seas0n so they could perform their debut number.

"So, Dayeon, could you please tell us the song you chose and why?" Dahyun smiled, looking at the leader.

The tall girl stood up straight and nodded. Looking straight into the camera, the girl put on a show stopping smile.

"We chose this song because of its difficulty in performing and the versatility that we as Seas0n can show you! We are here to prove that we deserve your votes to become the most beloved JYP group!"

Suddenly, Mya had a horrible feeling about this performance. Her stomach began to twist, not with excitement, but with anxiety.

"Please enjoy our performance of O.O by NMIXX!"
