~Sungmin's POV~

"Royal Colors on standby!" The Show Champion staff called out.

"Wow, I can't believe this is happening." D.NK said, rubbing his hands together as if to break free the sweat that gathered upon them.

"You've debuted before." Hanwoo said. "Why are you so nervous?"

"Because it's been a long time since we were on stage." Changbin said, putting his arm around D.NK in comfort. "It practically feels like we're redebuting."

"Well some of us are actually debuting." Taeyong said.

"Guys, we need to cheer." Tyson said, looking out at the stage to see the group before us finishing their performance.

Tyson was the first to put his hand out and we all followed behind him.

"Who is going to cheer?" Jaehyun asked.

We all looked at one another.

"I think it should be Hikaru hyung!" Taeyong exclaimed. "He was part of the first group and he's the oldest."

We all looked at Hikaru who was staring at the floor.

"Don't make him do it." Evil said, putting a hand on the male's back as they were beside one another. "I don't think he's ready for that."

"Well somebody has to do it." Hanwoo said, looking around.

"I'll do it." I said, feeling confident.

"Sungmin, are you sure?" Jaehyun muttered.

I gave a confident smile as I nodded.

"Take it away, hyung!" Changbin exclaimed.

I nodded then spilled some words I created on the spot. "For some of us, this is our debut, and for others, this is a long awaited comeback that feels like a debut. Either way, we've all been waiting for this very moment to do what we love, with people we love." I looked at Jaehyun as I said those words before continuing. "Let's go out there and show our fans what they've been missing. RC-Dark Yellow..."

"Fighting!" We all shouted, throwing our hands down, except for Taeyong.

He giggled shyly as he muttered. "Sorry."

"It's okay, we didn't decide beforehand." Evil comforted the youngster.

"Good job, Sungmin." Jaehyun said to me privately as we all waited by the stairs. "You didn't have to do that."

"Somebody had to." I told him. "And I was confident enough to do it."

Jaehyun smiled. "Your confidence is something I've always admired about you."

"You'll find your confidence." I told him, putting my arm around him in a side-hug. "Don't worry."

Jaehyun gave a half-smile as he looked down. I squeezed his arm to tell him not to be nervous and when we went on stage, all nerves turned into adrenaline as the music started and we gave the best debut stage I could ever ask for.
