PRESENT

Juliet sighs as she replays the clip again, though she can’t suppress the fond smile that tugs at her lips at the sight of her best friend… wriggling his hips—for lack of a better term—with a bright grin lighting up his face.

See, it’s not the dance moves that have her stumped, but more so the… unabashed confidence required to pull this off. And she’s a hundred percent certain that there’s no way she could make it look as endearingly adorable as Felix did.

Deciding to finally give it a go, she props her phone against a few books before scooting backwards a bit to ensure that her body from her knees up is completely in frame.

Once she’s certain that she has the right angle, she hits ‘play’ on the screen and starts mimicking Felix’s movements along to the same song. It’s not too shabby for her first try, but the awkward smile plastered across her face definitely doesn’t scream confidence nor cuteness.

Goddammit, Felix.

Scrapping the video with a groan, Juliet begins recording again, this time making sure to control her facial expressions better despite the embarrassment coursing through her veins. To think she thought she could nail this in just one take—it’s just ten seconds of wriggling her hips while doing a 360° turn, how hard can it be?

Very much so, apparently, considering she never accounted for the sheer mortification she’d feel from giving the camera a full view of her butt.

“What the hell are you doing?”

Practically jumping out of her skin at the sudden intrusion, Juliet hastily pauses the recording and saves it to her drafts, head whipping around to find Hongjoong standing in the doorway of the practice room with his jaw dropped as he gapes at her in what could only be described as pure horror.

At least he waited until she was done.

“Oppa, I can explain—”

The leader rubs his temples dramatically. “One day of normalcy from you kids, that’s all I ask,” he mutters, “yet I walk in to find you shaking your ass in front of your phon—wait,” he turns to face her with impossibly wide eyes, “Baek Minyoung, please do not tell me this is meant for Chan. Is this some sort of couples’ trend I’m unaware of?”

Juliet splutters at his far-fetched assumption. He even pulled out the full-name card! “I was literally just following Felix’s TikTok!” she defends, though a coy grin quickly replaces the offended pout on her face, “but thanks for the idea.”

A delighted cackle bubbles out of her at the sight of Hongjoong’s twitching eye and pink-tinted cheeks, looking as though he’s about to burst a blood vessel any moment. “I—I did not need to be privy to that information!”

“I’m kidding, I’m kidding! I’m not gonna send it to Channie. Promise! Though… millions of people will probably see this video, so he’ll see it anyways…”

“Millions? What are you planning to do with it?”

“Uh… post this on our official TikTok?”

Hongjoong taps on the screen of her phone to replay the video before turning back to the girl with a wholly unimpressed expression. “Is this even kid-friendly?”

“It wouldn’t be if I wasn’t fully clothed, but I am,” Juliet deadpans, folding her arms over her chest, “so yes, I’d say this is kid-friendly.”

The deep sigh that leaves the rapper’s lips has her biting back a triumphant grin, and she knows she’s won this time.

“Fine,” Hongjoong relents with a fond roll of his eyes, “but I’m not recreating this if anyone asks.”

Juliet shrugs, tilting her head to the side when she remarks, “Suit yourself, but I personally think you should be taking advantage of that great ass of yo—ow!”

“What I do with my ass is none of your business,” Hongjoong says calmly, massaging his palm while Juliet melodramatically rubs the barely sore spot on her head where he had struck.

“Fair, but you didn’t have to smack more brain cells out of me.”

“Pretty sure there are none left in there anyways.”

“Keep slandering your beloved youngest child like this and I’ll keep you here until you do this TikTok with m—” Hongjoong bolts out the room before she can even finish her sentence.

She swears she’s never seen him run that fast in her life.

“Unnie… can I post this to our TikTok?”

Juliet hands her manager her phone, watching silently as the she plays the final video from beginning to end, then again, and again.

Her manager lets out a halfhearted sigh before looking up at Juliet, who’s innocently fluttering her lashes at the older woman. “Should I even ask?”

The girl opens her mouth to speak, “Uh—”

“Never mind, I’m not sure if I want to hear it,” her manager jokes, chucking at the pout that graces the young idol’s lips, “go ahead.”

“Really?”

“Don’t make me take it back.”

Juliet hits the ‘post’ button quicker than when Hongjoong ran out of the room earlier.

B O N U S

Chan and the others are taking a break from practice when he hears Seungkwan snort loudly. “Yah, come see this,” he says, beckoning the youngest boy over, “your girlfriend’s trending on Twitter again.”

“Juliet?” Vernon muses with an entertained smile, “what did she do this time?”

“See for yourself.”

This garners the attention of some of the others, and they immediately scoot over to get a glimpse at Seungkwan’s phone before loudly guffawing and shooting Chan knowing smirks.

Curious, he makes his way over to Seungkwan, plopping down next to him when Soonyoung moves to make room for him. One look at the video has his eyes almost bugging out of his head; if the hip-shaking wasn’t bad enough, the exaggerated lip bite and wink she added at the end certainly were.

And that’s not even mentioning her outfit or the smug smirk on her face throughout the entire video.

“Oh…”

Vernon snorts, nudging at Chan’s side teasingly. “‘Oh’? That’s all you have to say?”

“To you guys, yes. To her, no.”
