Song: STORY OF US sung by Jo Yuri (from drama Monthly Magazine Home)

*

 "Ready?"

"Almost." Yuri rearranged the lyrics on her music stand. She had drawn cute hearts over some lines, underscored particular words, and made sure to circle the text that meant the most to her so she could make sure she'd sing them with feeling, although she was certain she didn't need to use her red pen to remember what lines reminded her of her friends.

A smile full of memories played over her lips.

Taking a deep breath, Yuri pulled the headphones over her ears.

"You got this, Joyul."

"I don't know... it's a really high note-"

"Yuri-ah."

"Yena."

"You WILL sing that note and you WILL slay it. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Ready."

"You got this."

"You make me much better when you're here

I'm lucky when I'm in your atmosphere."

"Yuri unnie... you look dead." Yujin had never been known to tell white lies, but even so, Wonyoung smacked her arm. Yuri looked over at her bandmate, glaring. She knew she looked dead.

Main vocalists were lucky - they got lines, which wasn't a guaranteed for most others. Main vocalists were unlucky - there was always a perfect way to sing the song and you had to get every single line perfect.

"Forgive me for staying up all night recording, Yujin," Yuri said through gritted teeth, ice in her words.

Yujin flinched, lower eyelid twitching. "Ouch. Sorry, Yul. That sucks."

Yuri went back to looking at her phone.

Scrolling through IZ*ONE's Instagram, her eyes couldn't help but catch on a cute selfie of her and Yena. Both girls had their hands on their chins and almost identical bangs that hung just below the eyebrows. Yena's hair was up in a cute high-ponytail and her lips pursed in a way that accentuated the duck-likeness of her mouth.

Yuri couldn't help but smile.

"JOYUL!" Yuri jumped at what was - in her opinion - the most distinctive voice in IZ*ONE. Her phone fell on the couch beside her and she hastily snatched it so Yena wouldn't see what she'd been looking at.

Naturally, this meant that Yena now HAD to know which picture she had been smiling over.

"Joyul, I saw you smile. Show meeee," Yena whined. She flopped down where Yuri's phone had been ten seconds ago.
