"Oh my god you guys! Shihyuk was cuddled up with Danny Sunbae in the artist trainee common room." Kaiko told some other trainees.

Chaeyeong shrugged. "That's not unusual for them."

"No Chae, you don't understand! Sajangnim was crying her eyes out." Kaiko frowned, concern written all over her face.

"Is she okay?" Chaeyeong pouted.

Just then Kyungsoo was walking past. "Kyungie." Kaiko looked down and Kyungsoo looked up at her with a frown.

"Hi Noona." Kyungsoo greeted but he wasn't his usual cheery self.

"What's wrong Chicken Little?" Chaeyeong asked and crouched down.

Kyungsoo handed his phone to Chaeyeong. "Eomma wants to be with Appa but this news thingy says that Appa has a new girlfriend."

Chaeyeong looked down and read the article on Kyungsoo's phone, it stated how Dok2 was rumored to be dating someone new and there was even mentions of Shihyuk and Kyungsoo in there, claiming that Dok2 is a bad parent who is abandoning his child to be with some new woman.

"Why does this site always slam our company? What do they have against Shihyuk?" Chaeyeong frowned and handed Kyungsoo back his phone. "None of this is true Chicken, Joonkyung Sunbae loves Shihyuk Unnie very much and the only reason your parents aren't together anymore is because their schedules make it hard for them to be together." Chaeyeong explained the truth to Kyungsoo.

"Yo did you see Minsik Hyung's new music video?" Evan asked appearing beside Andy who was clinging to Tae because they had been separated for a week while he was in China.

Andy glanced at the older male sheepishly. "Why are you even here Hyung? But also yes. Minsik Hyung seems to be really hurt by Jayden Sunbae."

Evan shrugged. "Kijung invited us and I wanted the chance to see Mei Noona."

"Haejin was talking about a dance competition earlier... Something to do with him, Wonnie and Tuo?" Tae mentioned and Andy tensed up.

"Wait Tuo? Big Dream trainees are here too?" Evan asked and Tae nodded.

"Shihyuk Sajangnim wanted to talk to certain trainees about something so a lot of them tagged along to visit friends." Tae told them.

Andy nodded. "I saw Keemi and Breezi earlier."

"We should go check out this dance competition." Evan suggested and they all headed out to find the trainees.

The trainees were gathered in dance practice room three. They were crowded around in a circle, Andy spotted Haejin cuddled up to Eunjay and whispering to the older male who smiled and kissed his forehead. Andy smiled, he thought it was so nice to see Haejin happy after all these years. He kept looking around the circle and could see Wonnie glaring at him and Tae. Andy let out a small frustrated sigh.

"I'm gonna go babe." Andy whispered to Tae, wanting to avoid any awkwardness.

Tae shook his head and wrapped Andy's arms around his waist and held them there. "You aren't leaving me Jung."

"Hyung!" Andy whined.

Tae refused to let go of Andy so Andy rested his chin on Tae's shoulder since he was stuck there watching the competition go down.

"I think Wonnie should go first." Haejin stated.

"Wait who judges?" Tuo asked.

Haejin hummed. "Kijung?"
