[Song: Bubble Gum -- Clairo]

"Nine members or none."

That was what Chan said when Felix, Lee Know and you had been almost kicked out of the group. You had always been grateful Chan had given you guys a second chance. But, you had learnt the hard way that being left behind was better than being left out. After debut, everyone had just..changed, to put it nicely. Essentially you were the 'outcast' of the group, not decided by fans..but by your own members. You were never god enough. your dance was too 'stiff' when in reality it was perfect, you vocals and rap were 'under-trained' when in reality they were amazing. You pushed yourself to the point you were convinced you would never change in their eyes..You were just a filler member.

You were in the recording room, your parts had already been recorded and Seungmin was recording his parts now. Your heart hurt as the others complimented him.

- "good job Seungmin! You got it perfectly first try!" Chan complimented, as the others followed.

You zoned all the words out as you stared at your own piece of paper (with the lyrics), the others didn't want to waste their words on you so they just wrote feedback on your lyrics paper.

- 'Your dance AND singing need work, you're an idol, get better!' Lee Know's comment said.

- 'This sucks, practice more' Chan's comment.

- 'Stop messing stuff up, it's not that hard!' Han's comment.

You looked up from your paper, watching as Jeongin stepped up to record his lines.
