NOTES ! this chapter is based on this newjeans performance I recommend watching it for a better reading experience
Megumi’s pov yesterday 10pm
megumi is fast asleep when he hears a loud blast of pop music and yelling from down the hall. What are they so excited for at this time? He tries pulling his pillow over his ears, but the music is super loud something obnoxiously catchy, like, “I’m super shy, super shy…”followed by Yuji and Toge screaming the lyrics.
“What the fuck…” he mutters, finally throwing his blanket off and leaving his room.
He walks into the living room, finding Yuji and Toge eyes too glued to the screen to even notice him. “What the hell are you guys screaming for? It’s like 10pm. Don’t you have class tomorrow?” He mumbled, but they can barely hear him.
“Y/N’S MAKEUP IS SOOOO GOOD!” Yuji kicks his feet, followed by Toge’s just as equally excited, “No, ‘cause Riko ate that outfit!”
Megumi groans as Yuta pokes his head out of his own room. “Can you get them to shut up… please?” Megumi pleads and Yuta sighs.
Then raises his voice to get their attention. “What are you guys even watching at this time? Could you at least turn it down?”
“The NewJeans performance I told you about!” Toge responds.
“Ohh, I forgot you told me about that” he walks over to the side of the couch to see the screen.
Megumi raises an eyebrow. The hell is NewJeans? He sighs, but as he turns to leave, Yuji tugs him onto the couch.
“Just sit down and watch, Megumi. A little watching can’t hurt!”
Megumi puts his head on his forehead annoyed as hell but he begrudgingly sits down, glancing at the screen, where a girl in the middle of the group seems to stand out. I mean why wouldn’t she if she’s in the middle she’s obviously important for something. Yuta leans over. “Wait, Toge, who’s who again?”
Toge points. “White top with a ponytail and bow is Y/N. Two pigtails in the cropped shirt is Riko, two buns and black shirt is Nobara, two pigtails with a normal shirt is Maki, and the girl with the sheer shirt I think she’s wearing a bun is Miwa.”
“Oh… okay.” Yuta finally sits down. Megumi watches the girl in the center. “So, the girl in the middle is Y/N?”
“Yup,” Yuji says, eyes glued to the screen.
They do look pretty cool, Megumi thinks, but before he can comment, the song ends. They bow, and he sighs with relief. “Alright, so they’re done now. Can you guys turn off the—”
“Nope!” Yuji yanks him back onto the couch. “They’ve got a second performance for OMG!”
Megumi groans, letting his head fall back against the cushions.
A crowd of stylists and assistants bustled around her, hurrying her down the hallway toward a dressing room for a quick change. She had no idea where the rest of her group was, but that didn’t matter; what mattered was that the whole group had ten minutes tops to get into these over-the-top outfits and fix their makeup.
No time to worry about anything else.
As soon as she got to the room, someone handed her part of her costume, and she slipped it on as fast as she could. An assistant crouched down to help with the tricky stuff—her boots, which were more like armor, and some wings they’d attached to her back. Honestly, though? She wasn’t even that stressed. This was just part of being an idol. She’d done crazier quick changes before.
Finally dressed, she was escorted backstage, where she spotted Riko waiting. Her friend’s eyes lit up, and Riko beamed at her. “You look amazing! The blonde braids looks so good on you.”
She squealed back, “No, brown hair on you is everything!” Riko didn’t get a chance to thank her before they saw Nobara, Maki, and Miwa approaching. The five of them all started talking at once, pointing out little details of each other’s outfits.
“We still have like three minutes left,” Miwa said, glancing around the stage. “And the set is so cute! We should take a picture.”
“But we have to do it quick! Cameras will go live any second,” Maki said, already positioning herself.
They scrambled onto the stage, posing as Riko took the picture. Just then, a loud voice from backstage called the countdown: “Ten, Nine, Eight…”
Hearing the countdown they rushed off the stage, barely managing to contain their laughter.
EXTRA !
this is the picture they took on stage:
the people backstage were pissed at them for getting on the stage when they weren’t supposed to
maki has always had the most fangirls
it was lowk hard for the group to dance in those heavy shoes but they persevered
