The time ticked by slowly as all seven of them waited in a suspenseful silence.

By now, everyone had auditioned, either feeling like they did a bad job or a good one, or maybe a mix of both. But one thing for sure is that waiting after all the auditions are finished was not a pleasant experience.

Jeno felt his leg bouncing in anxiousness with his eyes closed, not wanting to even think right now. He didn't know what to make of this whole audition plus what Donghyuck had said to him. It was all too overwhelming.

He moved his head upward and finally opened his eyes, glancing to his side to see Jaemin resting his head on the back cushion of the couch they were on, looking almost asleep. Jeno sighed and looked around the waiting room at everyone else, narrowing his eyes at the redhead who was scowling at his phone.

"Um, excuse me?" the same woman that announced their auditions said while opening the door, all the waiting boys looking up with wide eyes. "The judges said they will contact you when they have made a decision. You may leave now, and we will be in touch."

The woman bowed and the seven boys got up to return the bow, thanking her while shaking her hand. Once everyone was done, they exited the building and stood for a few seconds.

Chenle inhaled and put both hands on the side of his head. "Oh my GOD that was so scary!"

After the green haired boy said that, all of them broke out in groans and complaints about how tense that was.

"I thought I was gonna crap myself while singing, that one judge was so scary," Renjun said and wiped his sweat.

"You mean the one with the gray hair and sharp eyes that looked a bit like Jeno?" Jisung added in and both Renjun and Chenle shook their heads, Jeno giving them a look.

Mark cleared his throat and put a hand on his chest. "Well, at least I know I slightly impressed them. Suck it," he said, looking confident and causing the majority of them to roll their eyes at his stupid power.

He then flinched when he remembered Jaemin, everyone suddenly becoming quiet as they looked to him.

Jaemin blinked and looked confused at them, but he noticed Jeno and Donghyuck weren't even paying attention. He found that a bit odd, but snapped back to the other four. "What?"

"N-nothing," Mark said, surprised that the boy wasn't surprised when he accidentally talked about his power.

Jeno looked up at Mark and then over to Jaemin, only now registering what was happening between all of them. He sighed and grabbed the blonde's shoulder. "I actually have to tell you guys something."

Everyone turned their heads towards him, even Donghyuck.

"Well, last night me and Jaemin were talking... and... I told him about our powers and his old power. Actually, he caught onto us pretty quickly," Jeno chuckled and rubbed his neck, earning wide stares from everyone.
