Chapter Twenty-Nine

Spectrum {[Apply Closed]}

The boys had been resting well – it was their third day in Jeju, their music video filming was completed but they were to stay on the island and film a two days one night show for Arirang, to help the fans get to know them even better than before – the two days, one night special was a team work mission – meaning that the six had to work together in order to complete their missions.

Plus, the special would end with them performing in a concert at the Jeju Star Festival – where they would be performing alongside fellow rookies LC9, History, Ladies’ Code, and BTS and their sunbaenim in 100%, Teen Top, Infinite, BtoB, Sistar, APink, Girls’ Day, Nine Muses, MIB, and Rainbow since it was a lower scale concert and the larger companies didn’t choose to come since it wasn’t going to be broadcasted. However, just because it was a lower scale concert didn’t mean that the groups performing weren’t talented or disliked – many people were content with the line up since it allowed newer groups to receive some attention.

 

The camera crew for Arirang knocked on the first door – the one that lead to the oldest members’ rooms. Seconds later, the door was opened by a groggy leader who had slipped on a beanie to hide his mop of blonde hair, which now sported red highlights in it. He bowed to the camera crew politely before stepping aside and letting the camera crew into the room, the eldest then went and woke the two up before moving to the other room, which was much neater due to the lack of use the previous night, where they woke up the younger three. They all sat in the younger males’ room listening to the producer, who smiled at them all as he told them of their first mission.

“Your first mission is a wake up mission, you all must get ready and be on the bus within thirty minutes – as soon as the thirty minutes are up, the bus will leave and the person left behind will be require to walk to the first location,” stated the PD, he then counted down, once he got to on, he flicked on his watch, causing the three elder members to run back to their room and start getting ready.

 

 Within a matter of about ten minutes, Shin and Jhun boarded the bus, followed five minutes later by none other than a rather groggy Min and Xue. The final two boarded the bus with less than a minute to spare – Woo Jung had decided to stay back with Sora, since he didn’t want the older male to be walking alone if they hadn’t made it to the bus on time since he had technically been the only one who hadn’t been attacked yet.

With them all on the bus, their day started with countless different team work challenges – as the day drew to its end the males found themselves at a mud flat, very similar to the one from when they were fighting for their position within Spectrum, against the other four males. Their time in the mud flat consisted of many different games which forced them to work together. The final game was on that the most fans had asked for, one that some of the members were in no way excited about.

The PD looked at the mud covered males before him as he spoke with clarity in his voice, “We’ll be moving into your final team work challenge for the night. This mission requires you all to be stuck into two separate groups which were chosen by the fans. Xue, Jhun, and Min are on one team and Sora, Woojung, and Shin will form the other team.”

“What’s the game?” asked Shin curiously.

“It is a card kissing game,” stated the PD, “It is a mandatory mission – it will determine whether or not you all will be sleeping in a tent and showering in a public bath house, or if you all will be showering and sleeping in your hotel rooms yet again.”

The males nodded in understanding.

“Anyway, if both teams added together get a total of fifty papers passed, it’s a success.” Stated the PD, “You all only get three chances to attempt the mission, each trio will get a minute to pass as many papers as they can, so success will depend on how well you all perform together.”

“They’re determined to have us sleeping in tents, despite all the hard work that we did today,” muttered Sora, causing a smile to spread over the lips of his group mates, who all agreed with him.

“Even if you two ‘hate’ each other, be sure to work hard,” stated Shin, patting both the leader’s shoulder and Min’s as he moved over to stand by WooJung and Sora, his group.

A plate filled with paper was handed to Xue, who was designated the starter of the race and an empty plate to Min, who was – by the way they were standing the one who was deemed the person to end it.

The leader groaned internally, knowing that once the special aired the number of fanfics dealing with inner group pairings would be jumping up in numbers, something he didn’t really know if he liked yet.

“Alright,” stated the PD, “Do you guys want to start the game?”

The three in the first trio looked at each other before sighing and nodded, upon the PD’s signal, they began the race. Xue picked up the first paper with ease and passed it off to Jhun with ease, however, the leader hesitated and Woojung – deciding to get back at the two older males for how they had been trying to force him together with Sora – pushed the older two together, causing their lips to meet in a chaste and very sudden, rather surprising kiss, as the paper fell from the oldest member’s lips.

The two automatically pushed away from each other, trying to play it off coolly, but both secretly glared at the younger member.

Woojung feigning innocence as he returned their gazes.

The minute slowly ticked by, the other three were secretly laughing at the trio who was currently doing their minute since two of the three had seemed to fall into a rather natural kissing position – the two members were none other than the two they had purposely shoved into before. The position being that Jhun had casually rested his hand on the younger 93er’s waist, Min on the other had taken to putting one of his hands on the back of the elder’s neck - forcing the elder male to successfully pass the paper off to him.

As the minute ended, they counted the papers collected, getting a total of around twenty – they were just two off of twenty-five. Upon their finishing, the other group started, passing theirs off more natural than the others, none of them seemed to fight the inevitable skinship that came with the game and the other three watched silently, hoping that they’d get the goal in first try, however, they didn’t since second trio hesitated a bit, missing the mark by two papers.

They had started off strong, but as it continued on, Woojung and Sora seemed to become more and more hesitant with each other, they both seemed to pause a bit before actually passing off the paper. Min made a comment that had Woojung sending a glare the elder’s way and the other four dying of laughter along with some of the members of the production team.

Although they didn’t do it on their first try – or their second, due to an accident in which Woojung pushed Min and Jhun together yet again, earning a scolding from both males, and later a point in time where Woojung and Sora’s lips actually made contact had the two frozen for a couple seconds too long. Their third and final try was successful, which meant that they won the right to shower in the privacy of their hotel rooms and sleep in them as well.

 

Upon returning to the hotel, they took turn showering, being sure to take most of their muddy clothing items off prior to returning to the hotel. The boys took turns in the showers; the last to get into it was the leader who had been suddenly pulled aside by Hyun Soo, who needed to talk to the eldest about their schedules and other things.

Upon exiting the bathroom of the eldest three’s room, he groaned seeing that Woojung and Sora lying under his blankets as if they were going to be sleeping in his bed. His eyes ran over the room, only to land on the figure who was already asleep in Shin’s bed. His eye then returned to the male he didn’t want to share a bed with again.

“Get back to your room,” groaned the leader, “I want my own bed.”

“Not happening,” stated Min, “It’s part of the ‘teamwork’ special apparently.”

“He’s already fought with them,” stated Shin, earning a groan from the oldest member who hesitantly moved towards the other 93er’s bed. 

Sora cracked up laughing at something that had appeared on the screen of his phone, Woojung curiously glanced over the younger’s shoulder and also chuckled at the picture, earning a curious gaze from both Minhyun and Jhun – also drawing Shin’s attention away from whatever sporting event the male was watching.

“Nice picture you guys,” stated Woojung, causing Minhyun to rip the phone out of Sora’s grasp, his eyes went onto the picture that was shown on his phone, groaning at the photo. It looked like he and the leader were legitimately kissing due to the angle from which photo was taken.

“What the hell is this?” muttered Jhun.

“The power of our fans,” stated Sora.

Upon seeing the picture, Shin chuckled as well stating, “I think you two need to stop worrying about Woojung and Sora’s relationship and focus on your own problems.” The two looked at the other 93 liner in shock as he suddenly stated, “Serious one of you two grow a pair and end the game of pushing and pulling before it even begins.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about Shin,” stated Jhun, peering at the young nonchalantly, earning an eye roll.

“Hyung, I know you do,” stated Shin, earning an pointed glance from the leader.

“Listen, even if you and the fans want us to get together, I’m not going to like this arrogant brat,” stated Younghun.

“That is highly offensive,” stated Minhyun, “I’m neither arrogant or a brat.”

The leader rolled his eyes sitting, stubbornly on the bed beside the other male he was bickering with who had automatically latched onto the elder – knowing that it was going to push the oldest member’s buttons. Minhyun smirked as he slipped a hand under the oldest’s shirt, gently tracing the oldest’s abdominal muscles. He smirked as the older male shivered under his touch.

“I swear if you don’t get off of me in the next five seconds you’re going to be sleeping in the hall,” stated Younghun sternly looking at the younger male as the others watched from their beds in amusement.

“You won’t,” stated Minhyun, moving to tracing the older male’s pants line, “You’re too nice to do that.”

Younghun looked at him with a gentle smile on his lips; grabbing a hold of the younger’s wrist, pulling the younger closer so that their chests were pressed together and their faces were only a mere inches away from each other.

Younghun leaned forward, staring straight into the younger’s eyes; his breath caressing the younger’s cheek as he spoke, “Don’t doubt me, I’m not always nice – you should know that by now.”

“Sorry to be your er, Minhyun and Younghun-hyung, but please remember you two are not the only two in the room at this current point in time,” stated Woojung, peering at the two as they parted, Minhyun looked slightly flustered as Jhun showed no reaction as he laid himself out onto the bed after setting his phone on the side table.

“You might want to remember that yourself,” stated Jhun in response, motioning towards Woo Jung’s hand which had subconsciously rested on the older 94er’s hip.

“Why so much sass today, leader-sshi?” muttered Minhyun, laying down as well, pressing himself to the elder’s side, his hand resting on the elder’s chest – not caring about his friend’s previous words, “You’re frustrated aren’t you?”

Minhyun’s fingers grazed the exposed skin of the elder’s arms only to wince as the elder grabbed his hand in a less than gentle manner, staring straight into the third oldest’s eyes, “Seriously, stop touching me.”

“What’s wrong you can’t take skinship hyung?” questioned Min, pressing himself even closer to the oldest.

“I swear…” murmured Jhun under his breath, his voice fading at the end so that Minhyun couldn’t hear what he had stated. The oldest pushed Min away, rolling onto his side so that his back faced the younger, “I’m going to bed, be sure you all go to bed early as well, we have to pack up tomorrow before the concert since the day after tomorrow we have our flight back to Seoul.”

The other males hummed in understanding, having already returned to their own worlds, Shin was laying in his bed watching a rerun of a game that had been on earlier that evening lending his one arm to Xue – who was using it as a pillow and the WooRa couple were sprawled out on their shared bed, Sora having convinced the younger to take a couple of selcas with him.

“I feel like I’m speaking to a freaking wall,” muttered Jhun as he settled into his pillow, only to feel Minhyun press against his back – he groaned in slight aggravation, not even bothering to show a reaction to the younger member who was exhausting him even more.

“Is he finally asleep?” questioned Woo Jung.

Minhyun hummed.

“Took him long enough,” stated Woojung, sitting up.

Minhyun hummed sitting up in bed as well, followed by Sora, “You sure you don’t want to come?”

Shin nodded.

The three moved towards the door, only to stop as they head the leader speak from behind them, causing them to turn around to see the clearly tired elder staring at them sternly, “Get your asses back in bed. I’m not getting lectured by Hyun Soo-hyung again because you idiots don’t know when to get to bed.”

Shin chuckled as the three slowly returned to their beds, depressed at the fact they had been caught by the eldest before they had even been able to escape the hotel room.

“Night hyung,” grumbled the pouting Sora, who curled up against Woojung without much thought behind his actions.

Jhun smirked as he laid back down, letting his mind wonder off to dream land as the three complained about how their attempt to sneak out for the last time during the trip had failed. 

 

I'm pretty sure I know the couples now, I've finally decided. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter, it was long over due and I'm sorry for that. I had it completely written a few weeks back and it was really good but then some how it didin't save and it resulted in me being aggravated and not rewriting this chapter until now. Anyway, I hope this is good...The beginning is a little jumpy and random, but hopefully the rest of the chapter is good. Anyways, I'm pretty much falling asleep as I write this author's note, so I'm gonna go now. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the chappie and hopefully I didn't disappoint you all.

 

Also, we're going to jump a head in time with the next chapter, there will be more development between the characters and their relationships with each other as well as the plot line involving antifans/sasaeng fans.

Again, I hope you all enjoyed.

Chapter 63: OMG drama drama drama baby~... and the worst: I love it~ <3
Ohh I love that kind of drama ~
But whaaaa... poor leader-nim. Why can't you all shut up and let Yonghyun get some rest~ o.o
And now they have to go to the hospital as well? To be honest, somehow I like that, them all being in the hotel, most likely getting a greater bond among the members due to the disallowance of leaving the hotel...
Once again I can't wait to read on~
But hey, we do love you and we don't mind you not updating. Have fun on your trips~ <3
