Chapter 18

Winwin's POV

"Hey, welcome back!" Chunli greets us as soon as we return. I notice Kun, sitting on a couch with a camera in his hand.

"Oh, come here, Winwin!" our leader calls, beckoning me over. I leave the group and notice Chunli glaring at Kun, probably for separating her from me.

"Hi, everyone. We're currently preparing to go on our stage!" I say to the camera, waving and making sure that I'm in the frame.

"That's right," Kun agrees, passing the camera to Hendery, who immediately starts doing random Hendery things to entertain everyone.

He then pulls me aside and whispers, "Try to stay around the camera so that she can't pull off anything weird." I nod, locating the camera and heading over to it.

"Hey Winnie, come here! I need to do your makeup and hair," Chunli calls, despite the fact that I'm literally in front of a camera right now. I cringe at the nickname and look over, desperately hoping that somebody will step in.

"Actually, do you think that you could do mine really quickly? I have a lot of pictures that I want to take, so I'd like to be all done as soon as possible," Xiaojun offers.

"I, actually, I was more prepared to do Winwin's..." Chunli trails off. She's obviously getting very, very impatient with what we're doing right now.

"Oh, I thought stylists weren't supposed to have favorites," Xiaojun shrugs, looking around like he's bored.

"Alright, fine, fine, come here," she grumbles and literally pushes Xiaojun down into the chair. The lengths he's going to just for me. I appreciate it.

"Hey Winwin, over there," Yangyang whispers, pointing to the same stylist who I think rented our outfits.

I glance over and notice that she's just about gotten her area ready, with all of the combs and gels and other things that she's going to need.

I thank our maknae and almost run over, hoping that I can get away with this. Lucky for me, it looks like Chunli is actually trying to do a good job with Xiaojun so that she doesn't get fired.

I take a seat in the chair and let the stylist part my hair and comb it through a couple of times so she can get the right hairstyle on me.

I glance into the mirror and see Chunli across the room, scowling at me. Serves her right.

It takes a while for the stylist to finish everything up, and the whole time, I'm playing a game on my phone to distract myself from my ex.

My mind drifts to Chunmei. Wait, is she at the coffee shop right now? I feel really bad, worse than I should, that I wasn't there today.

But if she really needed help, she could have just texted me, right? I gave her my number on that slip of paper yesterday.

"Alright, you're all done," the stylist tells me, motioning me out of the chair and then telling Ten to sit down.

"Hey Win-"

"Hey Winwin, wanna come and play this little game with us?" Lucas interrupts Chunli. I see that he's sitting on the couch with Yangyang, probably waiting for his turn.

"Sure, what are we doing?" I question.

"Nothing, I just wanted to cut her off," Lucas shrugs, tilting his head towards Chunli, who's returned to getting Xiaojun ready for our performance.

"Yeah, she's taking quite a while," I notice, nodding in agreement. "Thanks for saving me, though."

About an hour later, we're about to get on the stage. I've had basically no encounters with Chunli, due to the fact that I've been basically clinging onto the rest of WayV the whole time.

Now I'll just try not to screw anything up.
