~Changbin's POV~
My brother and I arrived at the practice room, 5 minutes late. Everyone was here, sitting on the floor with our manager and CEO assistant sitting in front facing them.
"Sorry we're late." I said as Changwoo and I joined everyone. "We had to stay at school late to fix our grades before graduation."
"I see." Manager Woohyun nodded. "Glad you are here now."
"Now will you tell us why we are all here?" Kaoru asked.
"Soojung noona will." Manager Woohyun motioned for our CEO assistant to speak.
"Yes." Soojung nodded then gathered her thoughts. "This isn't something you all need to be here for but I figured I'd rather explain it to all of you at once."
"Understandable." Gyutae mumbled.
"The girls have just successfully finished their promotions so let's first give them a round of applause." Soojung said, clapping, everyone doing the same, as well as stopping when she does. "So now it's time to discuss the next comeback."
"Already?!" JC asked.
"Already?" Chase corrected. "This is later than when you girls started to prepare for debut."
"Focus, kids." Woohyun snapped his fingers getting everyone to pay attention.
"I'm sure you all are curious as to what your next comeback will be and who will be apart of it." Soojung continued. "So I will tell you. This next album is going to be a full album, not a mini album."
"OMO!" Pop exclaimed. "But this will only be our third album in total. Are you sure it's not too early?"
"We are ready for it." Soojung stated. "It will take longer to prepare for anyway."
"And who is gonna be apart of it?" Barae asked, speaking softly as usual.
Soojung looked at him and sighed. "Pinky and I thought long and hard on this. We looked at what would happen in the future and we came to a conclusion. There will be about two to three mini albums in between full albums. The members that participate in those two to three mini albums will also participate in the full album. Only those members."
"Everyone from the comebacks combined?" Daehyun asked.
"Yes?" Soojung answered not quite understanding his question.
"So like noona said," Manager Woohyun spoke up. "This next album will be a full album. That means the members participating will be those who participated in the previous two mini albums."
"So us five girls and the seven guys who were part of RC's debut?" Jane asked.
"Correct." Woohyun nodded.
"Huh!" JC exclaimed. "So it's co-ed?!"
"In a sense, yes." Soojung nodded. "But instead of having one title track, it will be two. One for the boys and one for the girls."
"So there will be no co-ed songs?" Chewy asked, holding Gyutae's hand tightly in hopes to some day have a song with him.
"No, no, there will be." Soojung answered. "Just not the title tracks."
"There will also be two solo songs per full album." Woohyun added. "One solo from the girls and another solo from the boys."
"That decision will be made by the fans though." Soojung stated.
"This is exciting!" Changwoo spoke.
"As for the songs, everyone will get one song that they will participate in besides the title track." Soojung continued. "For example, let's say the twins Changwoo and Changbin had a duet, they will not be in another song besides the title track."
"Does that go for solos as well?" A.D asked.
"Yes." Soojung nodded. "You guys will meet with Junjae as well as your choreographers soon to start preparing. Sorry for the rest of you who will have to wait longer, but don't worry. You will debut soon."
"We understand." Scout flashed a bright smile.
"I will take my leave then." Soojung stood up. She bowed to everyone. "Goodbye."
"Bye Soojung sunbaenim." Everyone said in unison as they waved. She left the practice room and Woohyun let us go.
My brother and I stuck around a bit before leaving and Soeun and Blue came up to us.
"You guys must be excited, right?" Blue asked us.
"Of course." Changwoo replied.
"You boys are lucky." Soeun crossed her arms.
"We understand that." I nodded. "But we can't control what happens."
"What kind of songs do you guys think will be on the album?" Blue asked. "I hope there will be duets."
"That would be cool." I said.
"Who would you guys want to do a duet with?" Blue asked.
"It doesn't matter to me." Changwoo replied. "At least with the current members who will be on this album."
"Is there somebody else you would want to sing with?" Blue asked my brother. "Like someone who hasn't debuted yet."
My brother's eyes widened.
"Don't ask him such hard questions." I snickered.
"Oh, sorry." Blue snickered as well.
"We should go." I said, tugging on my brother. "We'll see you girls later."
"Bye oppas." The girls waved as Changwoo and I exited.
"Thank you." My brother said, letting out a sigh of relief.
"I got you bro." I replied.
My brother and I walked to the convenience store to grab a snack before going back to the Pinky building to our dorm.

~James's POV~
I arrived at the lobby to pick up the mail when I noticed a familiar brunette flipping through a stack of mail at the counter. I walked over and bumped her.
"Oh, oppa!" She jumped. "You scared me."
"Sorry Scout." I snickered.
"What are you here for?" She asked me starting a conversation.
At that moment, receptionist Hongbin set my stack of mail on the counter.
"Thank you." I said to him then turned to Scout, giving her a smirk.
"Oh, same as me." She said.
"Yup." I nodded.
"So, oppa, who do you think is gonna get the solos?" She changed the subject.
"I don't know." I said with a little curiosity in my tone.
"I think it's gonna be you for the boys."
"Really? How come?"
"I don't know. Maybe I just feel like you will because you're the oldest and leader."
"That shouldn't matter."
"Sure it does!"
I rolled my eyes and snickered.
"I should get going." Scout said. "I'll talk to you later oppa."
"See ya." I said as she walked away.
I watched her as she left, a smile on my face.
"Well don't you look giddy." Hongbin said, getting my attention.
"What?" I asked.
He smirked. "Nevermind."
I glared at him before saying goodbye and leaving. I headed back to my dorm room where I handed out the mail and made some breakfast.

~A.D's POV~
I was laying on my bed, bored. I was staring at the home screen of my phone when something came to mind. Should I text her? I thought to myself. After much hesitation, I clicked on my contacts and found Pop's name. I pressed 'message' and typed in a simple hey, pressing send. Not expecting a reply, I went on my social media, but before I could even start scrolling, Pop texted me back.
We continued to talk for a few more hours about random things. It was a great way to pass time and she was fun to talk to. It made me think about texting her more often.
~Authors Note~
Hey guys! The last two POV's is kinda hinting at what I would want to happen XD. But the album will be made by you guys so it's all up to you. I may set up a voting poll for you guys to vote on for the soloists. Also, sorry if the chapter is too short and for only doing male povs. I didn't mean for it to happen, it just kinda did. I was gonna have the last one be Pop but because I already had another pov (James) from the user of Pop, I felt it was only right to include someone else. I do want you guys to look at the question and really read it because it is important. Thank you and see you soon. Biez!
Q1. What songs should be on the album and who should sing them? Also, keep in mind that almost all the boys have deep/low voices.
Title Tracks - 7-membered boy group & 5-membered girl group
Solo Songs - pick a member (can't be your own) who you think should have a solo song and what song they should sing (if their voice claim has a solo song, try to pick that)
Others - any songs ranging from 2 people to 4 people. I recommend a rap song since there is a lot of rappers. And if you suggest a duet, make sure it's a duet and not just a song who was a feature cuz the features don't have enough lines to be a duet.
My Recommendations (if you agree, let me know added info like who you think should be apart of the song and all that):
- Seventeen Ah Yeah or Check In (or any hip hop unit song)
- Any KARD song
- James as the male soloist (a Jackson Wang song as his solo)
- Possibly a duet between Pop and A.D (since they are a li couple apart of the album)
