â a summary
LUCY: little pigs? donât make me bust your kneecaps!
##SPRING TRACK MEET !
a day of fun for the groups participating in kingdom: legendary war that doesnât necessarily require gruelling rehearsals (aka the idol crossover episode everyone wanted and much preferred over a dumb competition).
note: i donât have access to the whole episode so i might have missed a lot and events may be out of order, apologies!
the agu (i9)!
sf9 - white, ikon - red, the boyz - yellow
mayfly!
btob - blue, ateez - green, stray kids - pink
yeah, stray kids really said fuck the patriarchyâ pink is gender-neutral!
now, you would think mnet would request lucy to sit out and simply act as supporting mc for the dayâ to which they absolutely did, but she refused immediately.
not just because sheâd hate to split the duo that is lovey & dovey (changbin and wooyoung from ateez), but she wants to play games too!
sure, sheâll be against boys at least a head taller than herâ but what were they going to do? most of them wouldnât even dare stand a metre within her vicinity in fears of starting a scandal. lucyâs gender is basically her superpower at this point in the show.
i.n and eric reading the oath out together is just the sweetest though. at least kingdom and fans can agree on one thing: and thatâs maknaes on top!
athletes of the kingdom track meet swear under oath as followsâ we will ignore the age differences, but not the rules of the game. we will keep in mind that our bodies belong to melody, ikonic, fantasy, the b, stay and atiny; and be careful not to get injured. we will be sociable today and do our best to become close to all of the members. at ease!
not sf9âs average height being a whole ten cm (four inches for you imperial weirdos) taller than stray kidsâ.
lucy standing at 1.71m (5â7â) makes her as tall as the vaulting horse, which is interesting, to say the least (and 30cm shorter than han jisung, according to myth).
also very shippable with tall boys and smol girls, according to fans. because anyone near her height (like the members) are âjust friendsâ, right?
jokes on them though bc lucyâs totally over how much height differences used to fluster her: little do they know her type now also comes in at 5â7â whose name starts with c and and ends with hristopher bang.
but the kang duo, aka lucy and chani (sf9) had mcâd together (with her twin hyunjin) once upon a time! being a little more than acquaintances, the two cheer for each other despite being on opposing teams.
master minhyuk gives everyone the tip that acceleration and having no fear are the most important factors involved in vault jumping: lucyâs got the latter downâ which is a good sign.
*btob cheering like high school students at a football meet for skz*
whilst ateez: itâs the strawberry kids!
the nickname is definitely cute, but lucy isnât narrowing her eyes at the sunâŠ
dwaekki-challenge! changbinâs the first to jump for the kids: and if you donât already know the resultâ letâs just say the boy is absolutely blue-balled by the vaulting horse.
lucy definitely joins the chorus of gasps and ohâs, but god bless those organs of hers are completely internal. again, gender superpower.
I.N faking his jump by hiding behind the vault and all of the kids dragging him off the mat is teamwork at its finest. if everyone replicated this energy during phys ed, maybe the world would be a better placeâŠ
lee know, aka six-black-belts: martial arts expert is merely one of the forces to be reckoned with in stray kids. the duality of this manâs athletic ability is no joke, in factâ itâs sexy as hell.
but according to ikon, stray kids are their rivals todayâ and martial arts doesnât necessarily contribute vaulting. though they may have a point, the innate flexibility that comes with it helps lee know easily clear the height (to his own surprise).
it definitely gives lucy a kick in her step when groups wanna fight for no good reason. despite how much she admires her ikon oppas, sheâll always be extra protective of her members.
bobby is however an exception, considering the faith he has in his members is non-existent and hilarious.
felix and lucy (who follow lee know) also have a black belt in taekwondo! consider the three of them the martial art kittens!
whilst felix has trained for twelve years, lucyâs trained for half the amount of time (starting at seven years old and stopping when she moved to korea at fourteen/fifteen).
korean vs aussie line: yongbok (noona), hwaiting! letâs go, felix (lucy)!
and as felix makes the first jump/flops like a rag doll, lucy also succeeds but lands up straight like a needle.
she grins and makes a heart with her fingers at the camera like the cheese that she is.
felix and lucy might also be the only two members that can do the splits without difficulty, so their jumps are insanely clean (almost professional-gymnast-worthy).
everyone is amazed! equal cheering energy especially as seungmin, han and chan also all succeed in jumping the vault.
ace member chan just being extra when he crosses his legs mid air (he is definitely not raising a brow at an easily-impressed-but-trying-to-hide-it lucy).
lucy cheers for btob like thereâs no tomorrow but is also very amused by eunkwang adjusting the springboard to help him make the jump.
not pretty boy juyeon blowing a cheeky kiss to lucy when he successfully jumps the vaultâŠ
no one signed up for this reverse harem composed of almost 40 members, but thatâs essentially what the showâs become.
lucy immediately turns her head (with seungmin force-turning her entire body around) but the damage has been done: chanâs competitive dialâs turned to eleven.
though the boyz all make it over the vault, lucy only visibly responds to the adorable changmin making a peace sign at her and kevin twerking for screen time. basically the 98â liners @ lucy: itâs free real estate.
itâs ateezâ turn to vault! yeosangâs cheater jump (boss level moves honestly) and respectfully-bowing hongjoong after his hip collides with vault earns a giggle from lucy.
hongjoong: 10cm makes a difference!
lee know, felix, jeongin: really?
the look on chanâs face is justâ sure it does, because the manâs ego has to be inflated in order to impress his girl.
lucy doesnât reply to either party but her grin totally says, thatâs what she said.
seungmin, han and felix donât make it to the semi-finals because the vault is just way too high (2m and 20cm) and intimidating, but the 98â duo: seeknow (lucy and lee know) do!
chan: why are you guys still here?
lee know: i dunno, why am i here?
lucy: weâre just built different,
lee knowâs butt unfortunately catches the edge of the vault during his jump and he fails: but lucy and chan rush to him to make sure heâs okay.
lucy, on the other hand, is a fucking monster. the girl can lift her weight and more, which is essentially half of the battle. she clears the monstrous height like the kangaroo that she is, which earns a profound scream from both wooyoung and changbin at the sidelines.
changbin: holy shit! what the hell was that?
wooyoung, who follows lucy also garners the same energy from the mc panel.
lucy hi-fives the boy which makes him all giddy and smiley: the bunny from ilsan truly adores his noona.
and speaking of kangaroos, sulky chan wants a hi-five too!
he clears the vault without any struggle, but is rewarded with an awkward fist bump instead (he really thought she was gonna go in for a five). good stuff!
and thatâs the exact moment chan makes the crazy bet heâs out for minhyukâs vaulting king title. the boy is a lucy-pleaser and everyone on the field can feel it.
minhyuk (to chan): okay, hwaiting, i guess!
the man definitely makes the finals with the others, along with juyeon (the i-9âs only remaining member).
2m and 30cm is the deciding height of the final vault, to which lucy is looking straight up at. she visibly gulps. yeah, no biggie. she knows she doesnât have the speed for this, but sheâll try because she can.
wooyoung and juyeon are first up! they unfortunately donât make the height and topple the entire vault down to the mat with them. lucy reassures them itâs okay and praises their amazing skills thus far.
chan: ladies first,
lucy: oh, youâre gonna pull that card nowâ
but really itâs his excuse not to put pressure on her if/when he succeeds. itâs kind of him, but lucy sees right through it.
stray kids: you can do it!
felix: letâs go!
without the right amount of speed, lucy knows she canât clear the height. she doesnât panic (unlike the rest of the boys on the field that think sheâs about to hurt herself), rather she knows to intentionally wedge her foot in the vaulting horse and climb on top of it.
she just sighs and shrugsâ which is adorable (even when sheâs two metres in the air) and still receives plenty of praise and cheer. so close!
chan: you were really close,
lucy: thanks, hot shot. and good luck! just donât die, okay?
the boy nods obediently, happy that the girl always has her full faith in him.
chan and minhyuk clear 2m and 30cm to fight for 2m and 40cm (basically insanity): to which they tie as vaulting champions.
lucy is endeared when chan reveals that the vaultâs height scared him as he approached it, but tries to put his mind at rest by comparing it to the height of a basketball player. youâd have to have superpowers to jump over something taller than yao ming,
chan: i guess thatâs true,
also, sheâs definitely not afraid to repeat his words (which are really her words she used to tell him back when they were still trainees): small packages come with big surprises!
but the vaulting competition finishes just in time for lunch: fried chicken, the kidsâ favourite!
mini game of the day: who is the visual king?
lucy: well, shitâ i guess iâm out.
chan: yeah, iâm going home.
lucy (death glare): how dare you?
chan: sorry. but it does say you can vote for yourself.
han: who in their right mind would do that though?
chan and lucy in perfect sync: you.
han: damn, you guys are right.
but heâs not alone: changbin canât lie so he votes for himself (like the king he is).
seonghwa voting for felix makes me uwu everytimeâŠ
the look of absolute betrayal on his hyungsâ faces when i.n tells them he voted for juyeon (i mean, heâs not wrong though).
everyone preparing for themselves to be announced as the winners, but itâs eunkwang (btob) and hyunjae (the boyz) in fourth place, sunwoo (the boyz) in third, felix in second and minhyuk (btob) in first!
not peniel hugging changbin when he loses to felix.
felix and minhyuk finding out they voted for each other is just tooth-rotting stuff. good boy!
but the likely question in everyoneâs minds is: who did the girl vote for?
trick question orâ? nope, lucy also voted for felix.
and of course she did, heâs her sunshine after all.
lucy (to chan): you voted for felix too, right?
chan: yeah,
but itâs the fattest lie of the century: the boy, without any hesitation, wrote lucy down as the most beautiful girl heâs ever seen (cut wasnât aired on national tv though, thatâs for sure).
the final games for the day are balloon tail and a relay race: lucy is unfortunately forced to opt out of the rough-housing/tackling and doesnât consider herself a speedy runner (more stamina-based), so she joins changbin on the mc panel during the afternoon.
lucy (referring to herself and changbin): yep, thatâs usâ the designated cheerleaders.
mc changmin: i thought you guys were the ace members of your team, are you sure you want to be here?
changbin: well, itâs true weâre the ace members. but thatâs exactly why weâre hereâ we want our members to stand out more.
younghoon: thatâs how the i-9 will beat you guys though,
lucy (happily): yeah? try us then.
the girlâs definitely got a sense of humour that the general korean public probably hate, but the international fans adore.
anyway, the highlight of lucyâs day is obviously seeing her team go from fifth to second place during the circular relay.
chan running is always a joy to watch: same vibes as watching your first crush compete in the school athletics and win.
the day ends with everyone completely exhausted, but at least everyone had fun as well as created life-lasting bonds/friendships: in other words, fuck mnet and their contestsâ just give us more collaborations.
