~JC's POV~
I got home from school and walked into the dorm, immediately being yelled at.
"JC!" Kaoru exclaimed, causing me to stop in my tracks. She came out to the room I was in.
"Yes, unnie?" I asked
"Hurry and change." She demanded. "We're going to record today."
"WHAT!" I exclaimed, not wanting to go. "Why couldn't we do it over the weekend~?"
"Stop complaining and go change." She repeated. "You can do your homework when we get home."
"Fine." I started walking to my room. "But you're helping me today, then."
"Wha-" I heard her start but I shut my door before she could continue.
"What was that about?" Pop, who was watching dance videos on her bed, asked.
"Nothing." I smirked. "Just that you don't have to help me with my homework today."
"Yes." She silently cheered. "But you really never need help. You just like to bug us."
I grinned, knowing she was right. I quickly changed and Pop followed me out to the livingroom where the others were waiting to go.
"Ready?" Woohyun asked us.
"Yes!" I smiled brightly.
"Lets go then." He said, motioning towards the door.
We all left the dorm and got in his car, him driving us to the company building. We arrived and went to meet Junjae, immediately starting to record the title track.
---
We finished listening to the song after it was all put together and we started cheering.
"You all did a great job today." Junjae complimented us. "You all sounded perfect and learned quickly."
"Thank you." We all said in unison with smiles.
"Now with your title track out of the way..." Junjae reached for a stack of papers. "Here are your other songs. There's four there, meaning you have five songs total. I want you guys to learn your parts and be ready to start recording. We will be recording for the rest of the month, one song at a time. Since its your first time, I decided to go slow."
He reached for another piece of paper. "Here is a schedule of when we will be recording what so be ready for that song that day."
"Once the whole album is recorded, that's when you guys will meet with your choreographers to learn the choreography and start practicing."
"Okay." Kaoru spoke.
"Alright, well, great job today guys." Junjae ended the meeting. "Keep it up and be ready for the next time."
"Yes~" We all said in unison.
"Alright, let's go get some dinner." Woohyun suggested.
We all cheered and left the building getting in the car to go get some food.

~Chewy's POV~
I woke up and jumped out of bed. I lazily walked out of my room and into the kitchen only to be screamed at.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHEWY!!"
I stopped in my tracks, eyes widened with surprise as I see everyone, including Manager Woohyun, in the kitchen. On the counter was a large cupcake with a candle in it.
"OMO!" I started to blush. "How long have you guys been waiting for me to wake up?"
"Not long." Jane said.
"We know you, so." JC shrugged with a cute grin.
I snickered as I walked over, taking a closer look at my birthday cupcake.
"Your brother got one too, but from the guys." Kaoru stated.
"You all are so sweet, thank you." I said, hugging everyone. "But to be completely honest, I forgot it was my birthday. Thank you all for reminding me."
"Its your special day." Pop smiled. "Of course we had to do something."
I smiled back then turned to Woohyun who walked up to me.
"Happy birthday, Yeojin." He said, bringing out a small box from behind his back. "This is from Gyutae. He wasn't sure if he was going to see you today so he gave it to me to give to you."
"Gyutae?" I asked to clarify.
"Yes." Woohyun nodded.
"He stopped by earlier this morning, hoping to see you before since he knew you had plans with Barae oppa." JC explained. "But he decided to leave it here and not bother you."
I lightly smiled as I took the box. I opened it to discover a bracelet.
"Waah~" I said in awe. "It's so pretty."
"He hoped you'd like it." Woohyun said. "I'll have to tell him you did."
"No need." I shook my head. "I'll tell him on my own."
Woohyun nodded and I took the bracelet out of the box.
"Wanna wear it?" Pop asked. I replied with a nod and she helped me put it on.
"This is a pretty good gift for just a colleague to get you." Kaoru made a comment, raising her brow.
I couldn't help but blush.
"Don't bother her with that stuff, unnie." Jane tugged on Kaoru's arm. "Let her go. She meets with her brother in 20 minutes."
"OMO!" I exclaimed, looking at the time. "I have to go get ready!"
I ran into my room, thanking everyone before getting there, and started to get ready to meet with my brother.
---
My brother and I were at one of our favorite restaurants from when we were growing up. I was sitting across from him looking at the menu to decide what I wanted when suddenly my brother grabbed my wrist.
"Where did you get this?" He asked me, referring to my new bracelet.
"It's my birthday present from Gyutae oppa." I stated.
"He got you this?!" My brother said shocked.
"Yeah, I was shocked too." I replied, fiddling with the bracelet.
"Hmm." Barae sat back. "I'm not sure if I like that."
"There's nothing to worry about." I rolled my eyes.
"It doesn't bother you?" He sat forward.
"No, should it?" I asked
"I mean..." He stared at me for a few seconds then shook his head. "Nevermind."
I squinted at my brother, analyzing him.
"You're weird, bro." I spoke.
"So are you." He replied. "So are you."
We went back to the menu and trying to decide what to order. I spent the whole day with my brother, eventually going home to rest for recording the following day.

~Kaoru's POV~
We arrived at the building and made our way to the recording studio to meet Junjae.
"Ready to record?" He asked us.
"Yes~" We all replied in unison.
"I'm so ready!!" JC exclaimed.
Today we were filming Do It, Chu which was JC's favorite off the album, so she was the most excited.
"Okay." Junjae snickered. "We'll be starting with Pop."
"Okay." Pop nodded and made her way inside the recording booth.
We all sat down on the couch in the studio to watch and listen.
---
An hour had past and Chewy was currently taking her turn to record when someone silently walked in. We all looked to see my brother.
"Hi oppa~" JC greeted him.
"Hey Little Jae." My brother smiled before taking a seat on the floor beside me.
"Hey Hikaru." I greeted, laying my head on his shoulder.
"Hey sis." He said patting my head. "How is recording going?"
"Good." I replied.
"Okay, Chewy, you're finished." Junjae spoke then turned to us. "JC, you're up."
"YAY!!" JC jumped from her seat and scurried into the booth. "Hikaru oppa, you came by at a good time."
"I did, huh?" Hikaru asked.
"Yup!" JC exclaimed.
"Alright, JC." Junjae spoke, causing her to focus. "We'll start from your vocal part."
"Okay." JC nodded then started recording.
"Why did I come at a good time?" Hikaru asked me.
"Because it's her part." Jane spoke.
"She really likes this song." I added.
"Why?" He asked.
"You'll see." I replied.
We all waited patiently, excited for JC's rap part.
"Okay, JC." Junjae said. "Vocals were great. Ready for your rap?"
"I'm so ready, oppa!" JC said hyped.
"Okay, we'll start from I got a little plan." Junjae said. "Ready, go."
JC took a breath and then started her rap, causing everyone to scream with excitement.
"Wow!" Hikaru exclaimed. "She's good."
"Isn't she?" I agreed. "She seriously has good skills for her age."
"Let alone it's unexpected." He added. "For those who know her personality, I don't think they would expect this."
"Oh for sure." I nodded.
We continued listening and recording. I was next and we finished off with Jane. Hikaru stayed to watch and then we all grabbed a bite to eat with him after saying goodbye to Junjae.

~Jane's POV~
"Good work Jane." Junjae smiled at me. "You are finished."
I finished recording my part and exited the recording booth, joining the other girls on the couch.
"That was it." Junjae said turning in his chair to face us. "That was the last song to be recorded. You all did an excellent job all month."
"Thank you Junjae." Chewy smiled. "For everything."
"What's there to thank me for?" Junjae said. "You guys are the talent."
"They're your songs." Pop spoke.
"Yeah, I guess you are right." Junjae chuckled rubbing the back of his neck.
At that moment, our manager walked in, coming back from the bathroom. He saw all of us sitting together.
"Oh, are we done?" He asked.
"Yes." We all nodded.
"They were excellent." Junjae smiled heartwarmingly.
"Yeah." Woohyun smiled proudly at all of us. "I'm glad to manage such a great group of kids."
"Ew." Kaoru cringed. "Can we not get so emotional and touchy-feely?"
"Okay." Woohyun snickered.
"Woohyun oppa." JC spoke. "When do we debut?"
"Still not for a while, JC." Woohyun replied. "You guys have your album recorded, but now you need to learn the choreography to the songs."
"OMO!" JC exclaimed. "I forgot about that."
"Well we can't debut without it, Chungie." Pop spoke.
"I know." JC replied. "I don't know what I was thinking."
"When do we get to start learning the choreography?" I asked manager Woohyun.
"You'll meet with your choreographers within the first week of next month." Woohyun stated.
"YAY!" JC exclaimed. "The earlier we learn it, the earlier we can debut~!"
"Yes." Woohyun chuckled at the cute maknae. "Now lets leave Junjae to his work and head home, shall we?"
We all agreed and got up, getting ready to leave.
"I'll put your album together and you'll have it later this week." Junjae told us.
"Thank you, oppa." Chewy bowed.
Junjae smiled and JC suddenly gave him a hug. He was shocked at first but hugged her back. The rest of us girls looked at each other then hugged him too, like it was one big group hug.
"You get in here too, Woohyun oppa." Kaoru spoke, opening up her arm so he could join too.
Woohyun smiled and did so.
"Aish." Junjae said as we let go, his eyes starting to water and his face lit with a smile. "Get out of here, would you?"
We all giggled and said one last goodbye before leaving with Woohyun. We left the building and headed to the dorm, everyone relaxing for the rest of the day.
