Jia was mortified. She took one look at the outfit she was given and was scared. How was she going to walk? Or dance? How was she going to cover her legs? She was basically in a bra and a skirt! There was no way Taeyong was going to let her out wearing this;
"I'm sorry but do you have any other options?" She asked the stylist. The stylist went to the wardrobe to go check if there was anything else.
"I'm sorry Hyejin-shi. But your manager wanted this look on you." She winced and walked away. Before she walked out the stylist spoke out again.
"However! There is one thing that you could also wear!" She rummaged through the outfits until she came to one. She held it up for her to look at.
Well, at least she was covered a bit more? She sighed and grabbed the outfit so she could put it on. She walked out of the dressing room and opened the door. She looked into the mirror. It wasn't as bad as the other one.
"Wow! You look um..... mature?" Jeno said. She rolled her eyes
"I might look nice but it's freezing in here!" She said.
"Hey at least you don't have to wear heels!" Jeno said. She shook her head and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Don't jinx it Hyung, it's not to late" She said, making him chuckle.
She felt a pair of hands from behind her. She turned around and saw Jaemin smiling down at her.
"Hi Nana!"
"Hey. Um.... like your outfit. I think I have the same T-shirt." He said teasingly. She pushed him away.
"Very funny. I don't understand why I can't wear pants like you guys. I don't even have any lines! And for most of the dance I'm in the back!" She murmured, jutting her lower lip. Jeno laughed at how upset she was. Jaemin watched her pout which made his heart melt. She shivered covering her arms.

"I forgot my coat." She said. She was about to turn around to get them until Jaemin wrapped his coat around the both of them.
"Now you don't have to go back and get it." He said. She blushed but nuzzled her head into his chest, making Jaemin also blush. Jeno squinted his eyes and grimaced.
"Just go out already!" He said walking away. Jia pulled away from the hug and looked away, trying to calm her red face.
It was time for them to film the first part of the dance. Jia tried her best to dance without her T-shirt dress riding up her thighs.
"CUT!" The director yelled. She stopped dancing to pull the shirt/ dress down. One of the staff handed her a water bottle and touched up on her make up. The others were watching how the dance was going on the monitor. She ran up to watch it.
"Wow Mark you look really good!" She said. He walked over to her and threw his arm on her shoulder.
"I try, Hyejin. I try." He said, looking down at her. She rolled her eyes.
"Your always so busyyyy. We never get to talk anymore Mark." She said, hugging him. Jia found this normal since they have been friends since debut, but Mark felt something for Jia that was much more than friendship.
"I know. But hey we're alone now. So lets talk." She smiled and they went to sit down.They started catching up until Lucas walked over.
"Yo,What's up man" He said, giving her a high five. This has been part of Lucas's daily vocabulary. She rolled her eyes and raised her hand to meet his.
"What are you guys talking about!" He asked. She shrugged and patted a spot next to her. He sat down.
"Nothing much. Just catching up." She said.
"What about you? You nervous for your big rap? Well both of you actually!" She said, looking between both the guys. Mark still had his arm draped over her shoulder, making it hard for her.

"Well, actually not as worried, since I already filmed it." Mark said.
"I'm a bit worried." Lucas said, chuckling a bit.
"Even though it's not really that hard, I get a big rap part in the song!" She noticed the fear in his voice.
"Don't worry you'll do great! You are one of the fastest learners I know!" She said. He put his hand above her knee.
"Thanks. I'm glad you believe in me." The situation was nice until she realized how awkward it was. Mark and Lucas kept gazing at eachother. Mark moved her closer to him, while Lucas tried to keep his hand on her leg.
Jia was looking around for her saving grace. A certain red haired boy walked by.
"Excuse me guys." She said, slowly getting up.
"Taeyong Oppa!" She said. He turned around and smiled at her.
"Ahhh my favorite dongsaeng! Don't tell that to anyone." He said, giving her a hug. She laughed and the walked together.
"This dress is...."
"I know! I'm not very fond of dancing a hardcore dance in a dress!" She said, crossing her hands.
"At least I'm glad to know you didn't pick it. My little baby is still young!" He said, squeezing her cheeks. She rolled her eyes and moved his hands away from her face.
"I'm not a baby! I'm almost 16!" She said. He laughed and they continued talking.
"Oh I almost forgot. Your welcome!" He said. She looked up at him, pushing her eyebrows together.
"I'm confused. What should I be thanking you for?"
"I got you out of that awkward situation." He said, moving his head backwards to wear Lucas and Mark were still sitting. She looked at him and open her eyes wide.
"Wait how did you know?"
"Oh please. I know everything. Also I saw you looking for a way out so I just walked past, hoping you would follow." He said. She laughed.
"Ahh thank you!" She said. He shook his head and they kept walking.
It was the end of the shoot and they were all going home. The dreamies piled up in one van. Jia moved all the way to the back. Jaemin caught up to her and sat right next to her and Jeno said right next to him.
"Hey Jeno you did great!" She said, giving him a high five. He showed her his biggest eye smile, making Jia's heart melt.
"Also Jaemin. Um are you ok?" She asked. During the pyramid thing they did in black on black, Jaemin was at the bottom.
(Taeyong was standing on his back)
"What do you mean?" He said. She looked up at him in concern.
"When Taeyong stood on your back! Is it in pain? Does it burn? Do you want to lie down? Or-"
"Woah calm down!" He said, laughing a bit. He linked his fingers with hers.
"I'm glad that your worried about me but I'm perfectly fine. And if I feel any pain, I promise I'll come to you first." He said. She held out her pinky, making sure it was final. He laughed a bit until he joined his pinky with hers.
She looked up at him and gave him a smile. She payed her head on his shoulder, and he responded by putting a hand around her. She looked out the window until Her eyelids started to get heavy and she fell asleep.
"You've got to tell her." Jeno said, whispering so he wouldn't wake her up. Jaemin looked at her and then back at Jeno.
"I wish I could. But it's not that easy." He said, sighing.
"Especially if she's got two other guys crushing on her," jeno mumbled.
"What did you say? I couldn't hear you." Jaemin asked.
"Nothing." Jeno replied quickly. Only he was not oblivious to how much drama Hyejin was about to be involved in.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
