Mina, Momo, Sana, and the ITZY girls stood there. Their eyes staring at the boys, "Sorry we were late, we just got back from school." Y/n apologized as he bowed again "No problem, try to be quicker next time." Momo said as she smiled at Y/n "So, let's get to the dance shall we?" Sana said clasping her hands together and the sound resonated across the room as the boys and ITZY nodded their heads. Y/n and the others went to the center of the room as Mina went to play the song. Fancy by TWICE started to play and the three women demonstrated the steps. Each move they made Y/n focused on, every gesture that was taught was being consumed by his eyes. Y/n was solely focused on the dance, not because he wanted to learn the dance faster, but because he felt awkward with the other 5 women beside them. The past week has been very unusual to him, Y/n never had any problems in love. Mostly because nobody liked him romantically, none that he would've known of. So he spent little to no thought about his love life, mostly because it was non-existent. Y/n nodded when they were called to dance the steps the TWICE's J-line just taught. Y/n and the two boys went to the middle of the floor and they all stretched a little. Y/n made eye contact with himself as he watched himself. After their presentation Mina walked up to the men "You have to be elegant, you have to be a little smoother in execution but overall, you did an okay job." She said clapping for them as they bowed their heads thanking Mina. "Now ITZY's turn, give them an applause." Sana said hyping up the 5 girls as they walked in the center. Y/n looked at their hands and legs. He kept his gaze on their limbs before looking away and going to his backpack. Y/n got his phone out and checked the time before he put his phone into his backpack and walked back to the other boys. There was an unexpected and unexplainable tension between the ITZY girls and Y/n. Yeji kept stealing glances, Lia kept trying to make eye contact with him, Ryujin avoided Y/n, Yuna tried to get as close to Y/n as Physically possible, and Chaeryeong and Y/n talked and joked around. The four girls were somewhat envious but they kept watch from a far.

Y/n looked down a bit while Chaeryeong was chugging some water and holding onto her phone, scrolling through her feed, "Noona, your shoe laces." Y/n pointed and Chaeryeong stopped drinking and looked down to her feet, Y/n noticed that her hands were full so he kneeled down and untied and tied her shoes for her. Chaeryeong was staring a bit, somewhat dazed from the random act of kindness she just received but she was thankful. "Thank you Y/n" Chaeryeong said with a bit of Aegyo which Y/n ignored "No problem, keep drinking noona." Y/n said as he grabbed his own phone. "So Y/n, how have you been?" Chaeryeong said as she walked a little closer to Y/n "The practice and school are kinda hectic but at least it works. How about you?" Y/n asked as he looked up from his phone. Chaeryeong had beads of sweat that rolled down her forehead, partly because of Y/n. Y/n's veins was more prominent with the skin he was showing, and the amount of muscle he had built up in the past 2 months was unmistakably large. His hard work and constantly practicing gave him a much more toned shape that he covered up with layers of clothing before. "We just had a photoshoot and a few VLives. Nothing much." Chaeryeong said as Y/n nodded his head and grabbed a towel. Y/n was wiping himself off with a towel while watching a video on his phone while Chaeryeong's eyes were focused on his arms. Momo, Mina and Sana soon left to go do some practice for their upcoming comeback and left the 8 figures in the room. "Hey noona, can I ask a favor?" Y/n asked as he put down the towel he had and turned to Chaeryeong "Yeah? What is it?" Chaeryeong said snapping back into reality when Y/n moved, "Can you see if I make any mistakes? Like, try and spot some mistakes when I dance." He said as he put away his cellphone, Chaeryeong nodded and they both walked to the middle of the room. Y/n asked Min-kyu to play the music and soon enough the song started. Y/n danced to the song, his rhythm undeniably attractive. The way he looked so elegant and masculine amazed Chaeryeong and the others, the way Y/n's body embodied the rhythm and how he would try to add his own dancing style to the song made the dance even more attractive. Y/n's footwork amazed the others as his shoes squeaked as it made contact with the hardwood floor. Chaeryeong's gaze wandering down his body as he flexed his muscles dancing to the music. Chaeryeong's cheeks reddening as her gaze traveled down the toned body Y/n had, the pink tint in her cheeks burning as she kept staring at Y/n. "So how was I?" Y/n asked panting from the dance "Oh uh You did great, no mistakes." Chaeryeong said looking away from the gaze Y/n held "Are you okay noona? You're a bit red in the face." Y/n asked as he still was trying to regain his breath, "Yeah no. I mean Yes, I'm fine. No need to worry." Chaeryeong quickly reassured Y/n as he just raised an eyebrow at her "Well that's great, you did great today noona. Hope to see you soon." Y/n said waving at Chaeryeong and going to get his belongings. Chaeryeong followed him "Uh, maybe I mean just maybe we could potentially hang out later? I mean only if you're free and if you're intreste-" Chaeryoung was cut off by Y/n "It's okay noona, maybe on tommorow? I still have some practice to catch up on." Y/n said slinging the backpack over his shoulder and turning to Chaeryeong "That would be great, see you soon?" Chaeryeong said smiling widely at Y/n who returned the kind gesture "See you soon noona." Y/n said before hugging her and waving goodbye. Chaeryeong was in a daze after that. Her mind was in a whole new universe, her cheeks burning. Chaeryeong had a smile plastered on her face. She felt happy, but on the other side of the room the other four women were envying what Chaeryeong had.

It was their fault, Y/n had been ignoring them for more than 3 days now. The consequences of their actions finally hit them. They let their temper get the best of them, and this cause Y/n to avoid them all. All except for one(1), Chaeryeong. Chaeryeong was never jealous in the first place, she was always calm and collected when Y/n was around, sometimes energetic but that is quite uncommon. Chaeryeong always had a smile on her face whenever she and Y/n would hang out, she was so happy that someone could distract her from the schedules they were being put through and that she could just relax once in a while. The other four couldn't do anything but just stand there and watch, as if they were watching a like KDrama play out. They couldn't interfere, they had no right to. And they knew this, and they hated this. It was a fact they weren't willing to accept yet. Determined as ever, the four wanted to desperately try and talk to Y/n. They still had a chance, and they were ready to go all in to win. To get Y/n back. To get Y/n to notice them. To get Y/n to talk to them. They were just waiting for the right moment. Soon enough, they will fight for their friend.
