Jia and the rest of NCT dream had arrived at music core to perform "Go!" Hyejin was really excited because she has heard that Stray Kids was going to be performing as well. She didn't know much about them but she loved their songs "My Pace" and "District 9." She barely even knew what the members looked like.

She was in the dressing room getting ready to perform when Haechan came up to her.

"Hey lets go outside. They want to introduce us to some people." He said. They had pulled them out of the dressing room and into the hallway.

"NCT Dream, this is Stray Kids. Stray Kids, this is NCT" The producer of the show said. They both bowed numerous times to one another. Once the managers walked away, they engaged in some small talk.

"Wow! I cant believe that Your actually here!! Im a big fan of your music!" Hyejin said, confidently. The group smiled at her.

"Thank you so much, Hyejin! So your the only girl in NCT?!" Chan, the leader asked her. She nodded cutely, causing the other members to smile. Jaemin clenched his fist, hoping he wouldn't have to do anything.

"I thought that there were 9 of you?" Chenle asked.

"Oh, well Hyunjin is one of the MC's of the show so he is doing that right now." Jisung explained. The dream members nodded.

"OH by the way! I forgot to mention. I love your new song "Go" Its so much different than your past songs! It gives off more mature vibes" Jeongin said. Dream thanked him. The two groups continued to talk to each other for a couple of minutes before going out to perform.

They performed "Go" in such an energetic way. Their fans sang along and danced with them making Jia's heart melt. At the end of the performance, they were told to go to the side so that they can chat a little with the MCs. Haechan, Jisung, Chenle, Renjun stood in the back and Jeno, Jaemin Mark and Hyejin stood in the front. She was in such a rush to fix her appearance ( Sis was a whole sweaty potato) that she didnt even get to say hi to the MCs.

"Wow lets welcome NCT Dream! Their song "Go" is such a cool song! Would you like to introduce yourselves?"

"To the world we are NCT! Hi we are NCT DREAM!!" We bowed and clapped. She looked at both the MCs giving them big smiles. She had to look twice at one of the MC's. She couldn't stop staring at how beautiful his hair is and his slim body, but broad shoulders. The mole under his eye. I mean, who isn't in love with Hyunjin?!

"NCT DREAM relieves a new album with their older members of the group. Can you tell us a little bit about DREAM and why it's different from your other NCT groups?" Hyunjin asked, pointing the microphone to Mark.

Mark answered the question but Jia wasn't paying attention. All she could stare at was Hyunjin.

Hyunjin noticed a stare coming from her direction. He turned his head to look at her. He smiled at her before turning back to the camera. She blushed and also focused on the camera. Jaemin was watching them. He clenched his fist but showed no anger in his face for the camera.

"Can you guys show us your favorite part in your new song "Go?" Hyunjin said. Since this was rehearsed, they had planned that Jia and Jisung would dance the chorus of Go.

Hyunjin couldn't take his eyes off of Jia. He was so mesmerized by her dance moves. They were done dancing and the clapped for them.

"Thank you NCT DREAM for being here with us today. The next band that will be up here is my very own, stray kids!" Hyunjin said. The director yelled cut, and staff came over to fix everyone's make up and hair. Jia was getting her hair fixed, when a figure came by to her.

"Nice to finally meet you. My members really liked you." She turned around and looked up at Hyunjin.

"Yeah! Um yeah. I guess I liked hanging out with them. No! Not guess, I know. Like I know it was fun. Um..." she looked behind Hyunjin to see Haechan shaking his head. Hyunjin just laughed.

"Well, I did hear that your an excellent dancer. Probably because your the main dancer... and I also just saw you dance... twice" He said, scratching his neck.

"Thanks. I can't wait to see you perform. I really like you. I-I mean I like you when you perform. I mean like your nice even when your not performing. No wait um..." she said. Haechan came by and put his hands on her shoulders.

"It's really great to see you. Good luck in your performance Hyung! We will be backstage, watching." He said, walking away with her. He threw his hand over her shoulder.

"What. The. Heck. Was. That?" He said, shaking his head in disappointment.

"I don't know but I should probably start burying my grave."

They entered the dressing room to find all the boys sitting by the screen, watching Stray Kids perform. Jia ran by the screen to watch with them.

"Where were you guys?" Chenle asked.

"Uh... our lovely dongsaeng couldn't stop drooling over Hyunjin." Haechan said, walking over to sit down. Hyunjin started rapping and the boys noticed Jia's eyes were glued to the screen.

"Hey Jia can you pass me a water bottle?" Mark asked her, fanning himself. Jia didn't hear him but continued to watch the screen.

"J-Jia?" Mark called again.

"Yeah." She replied, but still kept her eyes on the tv.

"Oh yeah! Water I got it!" She replied. She got off the couch and walked to the fridge, while staring at the tv. She handed Jaemin the water and sat back down. Jaemin looked at her confused, and handed the water to Mark.

"She's whipped!" Haechan whispered.

"Jia had her eyes on you, Hyung."Seungmin addresses as he fanned himself with his hand. It was after their performance and they were going over to dreams dressing room to ask if they can hang out.

"She was?" He said, trying not to blush. He had had a crush on the younger member ever since he had heard of them during their trainee days.

"Awwwwwww looks like Hyunjin has a crush" Felix said, nudging him. He pushed him back, trying not to show how flushed his skin was.

"Well, go get your girl! When and if we can go out, you do whatever you can to grab her attention." Chan said before knocking on their dressing room. Their manager opened the door.

"Oh hello! How can I-"

"HAECHAN IS JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU BASICALLY SAID THAT HYUNJIN IS BETTER AT DANCING, RAPPING AND BREATHING?"

"I DIDNT SAY IT LIKE THAT BUT ALONG THOSE LINES!!"

A bunch of voices where arguing in the back.

"I'm sorry for that but what did you come to ask?" The manager said, looking very irritated.

"Oh we wanted to ask DREAM if they would like to go out with us for dinner."

"Um, excuse me for a second." He walked into the room and silenced followed.

"Stray Kids is here. They want to know if you guys would like to go out with them for dinner."

"Wait... they didn't here anything, did they?"Jia asked. Their manager shook there head, causing her to blush

"A-And you approve of this?" Haechan asked. Their manager nodded. Jia was filled with pure excitement. The members exchanged looks before running to the door.

Haechan and Chenle made it to the door first.

"Hey guys!" Haechan said. Jia was in the back but she squeezed through the boys to the front of the door.

"Hi Haechan. Hi Jia." Hyunjin said, lowering his voice as he said her name. She smiled and waved.

"We would love to hang out with you! Right guys?" Mark said looking around. Everyone nodded in agreement, except Jaemin. He just stood there.

"Hey Jaemin. You ok with this?" Jia said, turning around and smiled.

"Uh, yeah. It's gonna be fun." He said.

They all walked out of the room. The group was a mix of chatter. Except for Jaemin who was watching Jia and Hyunjin walking side by side, laughing.

"It's gonna be really fun." He whispered, catching up with the rest of the group.
