~Pop's POV~
The girls and I arrived at the practice studio with Woohyun. We followed Woohyun inside only to discover our choreographers inside.
"15 minutes early." Our female choreographer spoke. "Just how I like it."
"You girls remember your choreographers, Jinyoung and Boyoung, right?" Woohyun asked us.
"Yes." Kaoru spoke for all of us.
"Why don't you girls start stretching?" Boyoung suggested. "Then we'll get started with learning your choreography."
We all nodded and set our stuff down. We started stretching and prepared for learning our choreography. Boyoung taught us but Jinyoung helped here and there. It took a while to learn but we all worked hard, some more than others.

~A.D's POV~
I was hanging out with Winter in the D.S.H dorm. We were playing video games and just talking about random stuff, when Winter suddenly brought someone up.
"So." Winter spoke. "How is the group doing?"
"Really well." I replied.
"When's your next comeback?" He asked.
"Mine personally." I started. "Not sure. But the girls will be making the RC comeback, even though it's technically their debut, next month I think."
"The girls?"
"Yeah, the five girls. JC, Kaoru, Jane, Chewy, and Pop."
"Oh, Pop."
"Yeah..." I said, feeling weird. "What about her?"
"Oh, I don't know." He said with a high-pitched voice. "I'd just think you'd be more...excited to talk about her."
"Why would I be?" I asked defensively.
"It was just a question, hyung." Winter replied feeling hurt.
I saw that he seemed hurt and I loosened up.
"Sorry." I spoke. "I don't know why I acted like that."
"I can take a guess." Winter mumbled.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing." He said, pausing the game. "Lets take a break."
"Okay." I agreed.
We grabbed a snack for our break and then got back to playing our game.

~D.NK's POV~
I was with some of the boys, James, A.D, Hikaru, and Changwoo. We decided to surprise the girls with lunch, so we did.
We arrived at the practice studio and opened the door, Changwoo and I carrying the bags of food. Although in the middle of practicing, they saw us and stopped. They all had shocked looks on their faces. Jane stopped the music.
"What are you guys doing here?" Chewy asked as us guys walked over to them.
"What does it look like?" A.D asked, pointing to Changwoo and I who held up the bags of food.
"You guys brought us lunch?" Pop asked.
"Of course." James nodded. "You guys did it for us a few times while practicing, it's only right for us to do it as well."
"Yay!" JC jumped and ran over to Changwoo and I. "Thank you oppas!"
"JC, calm down." Kaoru said. "Lets sit together, okay?"
We all agreed and sat in a big circle. Changwoo and I handed out the food and we all ate together, talking as well.
---
We finished lunch and cleaned up all the trash. My hyungs and I got ready to leave when JC said something.
"Why do you have to go?" JC asked with puppy eyes. "Can't you guys stay and watch?"
"Today, we are practicing JC's favorite song off the album." Jane mentioned. "So she's excited to show you guys."
"Well, if you guys are alright with it, we don't mind staying to watch." James spoke for all of us.
"Please unnie~" JC begged Chewy. Her cute begging made me snicker.
Chewy smiled and looked at us. "Of course you guys can stay."
"Yes." I mumbled to myself.
"YAY!" JC jumped up and down.
"Let's stretch some more since we just ate." Koaru spoke.
The girls started stretching and we boys finished cleaning up. Then we took a seat on the side of the practice room where we wouldn't be in the way. Soon enough, the girls started practicing.
We stayed quiet, letting them do their thing. They got towards the end of the song and it caught my eye. JC started rapping.
"Woah!" I exclaimed, kinda loud.
"Shush Sunghoon." James, who was sitting next to me, said.
"Sorry." I covered my mouth. "But, JC is a rapper?"
"Yeah." James nodded. "You didn't know that?"
"No." I shook my head. "I thought her specialty was dancing."
"It's both."
"Waah~ I didn't know that. She's a really good rapper."
"Isn't she?"
"Yes. And her voice is pretty too."
James looked at me. I was too busy admiring JC to look back.
"Oh, Hoonie." James ruffled my hair.
"What?" I looked at him.
"Nothing." He said with a grin on his face.
"Tell me~" I begged.
"Just your admiration for her." He spoke.
I looked down as I felt my cheeks burn up.
"Don't talk about it." I said.
"I won't." He replied.
We continued watching their practice, all leaving before 3 so they can practice alone. I couldn't get over the fact that JC was a rapper and I didn't know. She was an amazing rapper, too. Something about it made me like her even more.

~JC's POV~
"You remember the plan, right, Chungie?" Kaoru asked me over the phone.
"Yes, Yes, I remember." I replied getting annoyed. "We've gone over it like 12 times now."
"I'm just making sure."
"Well then I hope you're sure now. Woohyun oppa is pulling up now, I have to go."
"Okay. I'll text you when we're ready for you to come home."
"Okay. Bye."
I hung up and walked over to Woohyun, getting in the car.
"How was school?" He asked.
"Same as usual." I shrugged. "Though, can you take me to the store? I need supplies for a project."
"Oh, um, you need them today?" He asked.
"Well, I mean, the project is due Monday but I want to start it today. You wouldn't want me to procrastinate now, would you?"
"Of course not. Sure, I'll take you."
"Yay. Thank you oppa."
I put on my seatbelt and he started driving. He took me to a craft store and we walked in. I tried to be as indecisive as possible and kept stalling until I got the text from Kaoru.
---
I felt my phone vibrate and I looked at it while Woohyun was distracted. It read that they were ready and so I hurriedly finished picking out what I needed and we left the store. I texted back when we were pulling up to the dorm so everyone could get ready. We walked up and walked into the dorm, only to reveal darkness. Woohyun turned on the lights and Woohyun was bombarded with happy birthday being shouted, even from me.
"OMO!" He exclaimed after everyone was finished shouting happy birthday. "What is all this?"
"Your birthday surprise party, obviously!" I exclaimed.
"So you needing me to take you shopping..." He looked at me. "That was fake."
"Well I still needed the stuff." I replied. "But yes, it was planned."
Woohyun scoffed and looked at everyone. All of Royal Colors was here in the dorm.
"Come and see our decorations, hyung." Chase spoke.
Woohyun walked further into the dorm and saw all of the decorations we had for him. On the kitchen counter was a large birthday cake for him and the dining table had all of the birthday presents we got him.
"I can't believe you guys did all this." He said, feeling touched.
"We had to." James spoke.
"You've done so much for us." Pop added. "We had to pay you back."
"You all are like my kids." Woohyun stated. "It's my job to take care of you. You guys don't have to do anything."
"Of course we do." Gyutae said. "We have to work otherwise there would be no point for your job."
Woohyun snickered. "You have me there, Gyutae."
"Can we start celebrating now?" Kaoru asked.
"Yes." Woohyun nodded with a snicker. "What do you guys have planned?"
And so, we started celebrating Woohyun's birthday. We played games, chatted, did karaoke, ate cake, opened presents, and even talked about how thankful we were for Woohyun and how much we love him. It was a touching evening and a memorable one.

~Pop's POV~
We had just finished rehearsing our last song on our album. For this week until our debut, we were just practicing every song everyday just to get better. We were taking a break and our choreographer, Boyoung told us to gather in front of her as we did so.
"I want to tell you guys how great you are looking." She started. "You guys learned so quickly and I was very impressed. On top of it, you guys seemed to really have fun with it. It made me happy."
"We did have fun, unnie." JC smiled. "You made it fun."
"That makes me happy." She smiled back. "I can't wait to choreograph more songs for Royal Colors because I do seriously love you guys."
"We love you too." Chewy spoke. "We haven't known you long, but both you and Jinyoung have become like family."
"Jinyoung and I feel the same way." Boyoung replied. "We will always support you guys and be here for you guys. Also, please don't be scared to say something to us about the choreography. We want it to fit you guys so you have to be happy with it in order for it to work."
"Of course." Chewy nodded.
"Now, about your upcoming comeback, or debut, whatever you want to call it." Boyoung continued. "I've been told that you guys will be filming your music video very early in the month of October. And there will be a lot of dancing in the music video, I've been told, therefore, I want to know how well you guys will be able to dance in clothing that isn't what you've been wearing."
"So uncomfortable clothing?" Kaoru asked to clarify.
"In a sense, yes."
"What are you saying?"
"I brought clothes I want you guys to change into. I want to see how well you'll be able to dance in it."
"Okay." Chewy sighed. "Give them and we'll do it."
Boyoung smiled and gave us all our individual clothing. They were dresses and skirts, things we never practiced in.
"Is this the kind of stuff we will wear for the music video and performances?" JC asked.
"I don't know." Boyoung replied.
"I'm sure it is." I spoke.
"Stop complaining." Chewy said. "Lets just practice."
"I agree." Boyoung said. "We'll start with the title track. Positions."
We got in our positions and Boyoung played the music. We danced as she watched us. It was different dancing in these fancy clothes, but we knew it was for our benefit. We spent the rest of practice time dancing in these clothes. We finished practice at 7 and went home to just relax.
