"That looks awesome," Justin said looking at the stage that was set up in the huge parking lot of the college. The past couple of days, they closed the part of the parking lot down to set it up for the festival that was starting tomorrow.

"Everyone sit down please," a woman with a bob haircut said standing on the stage with a microphone in her hand. Scarlett took a seat between Yanjun who sent her a quick smile before paying attention to the woman. To her right was Justin who was fidgeting in his seat making her place a hand on his shoulder.

"Calm down, J."

"Sorry, Jiejie," he chuckled and sat still in his seat, Scarlett smiled and moved her hand into her lap.

"Each one of you will be performing on this stage the next couple of days. The schedule for each of your performances is being handed out as we speak," the women stated and pink papers were being passed down. "You're expected to at least show up thirty minutes before you perform. The dance room will be open to you so you can practice a little before coming on stage, but if you need microphones you must make sure to have fifteen minutes before entering the stage so that we can get you set up. The locker rooms in the dance room will also be open for those of you who need to change. Please do not bring food or beverages inside."

Yanjun handed Scarlett a small stack of papers, she took a pink paper from the top then handed it to Justin who thanked her while grabbing himself one.

"Looks like we're performing tomorrow," Yanjun smiled showing off his deep dimples.

"Mhmm," she hummed poking her finger into one of them. His eyes flickered over to her and he quickly grabbed her hand, she tried to pull it away, but he held onto it. "Yanjun."

"Crimson," he chuckled loosening his grip and instead of letting her go, he intertwined their fingers and held their hands to his heart. He watched as a blush set on her cheeks and she looked away, towards the stage.

"Before I finish this meeting, I have an announcement to make," the woman said, making Yanjun's eyes move away from Scarlett's face. "We're going to have a couple very important guests that will be overseeing your performances."

"Tom Holland," Scarlett muttered beside Yanjun, making him look over to her. He looked irritated until he realized she was looking at him, waiting for his reaction. "Cute."

Yanjun grinned as Scarlett looked away to pay attention to the woman again. "Many entertainment companies will be present the next three days and there will be some very well known artists visiting as well. Make sure to perform your best."

The woman went on to talk about how they might be casting some people for their companies, but Scarlett didn't pay too much attention with Yanjun playing with her fingers.

"You distracted me from what she was saying," Scarlett pouted a while after the woman finished talking and walked off the stage.

"Oops. Looks like I actually do affect you, Crimson," Yanjun smirked and Scarlett rolled her eyes, pulling her hand from his. "W-Wait-"

"Aw, are you sad now? Looks like I do affect you, Yanjun," Scarlett smiled innocently as she stood to her feet and looked back at the paper. "Wow. I'm going to be performing everyday. Oh good, two of them are back to back."

"You think Mom and Dad would come," Justin asked Scarlett.

"I'm not sure about the old man, but I think that Mom will. Why? Are you going to ask them to come and watch," she asked fanning herself with the paper.

"Not really. Mom won't approve of the second song," Justin scratched his head thinking about the choreography. "I don't even want you to watch it again."

"Actually, I didn't watch it the first time. Yanjun said to just wait for that actual performance," Scarlett glanced to the boy who smirked, sitting back in his chair and throwing and arm behind the chair she once sat in. "If you want, I'll make sure to watch-"

"You can watch Jun-ge. I'm fine how I am," Justin quickly said, cutting off his older sister as he got to his feet.

"Let's go eat. I'm hungry," Zhangjing cheered on the other side of Yanjun who stood up too.

"You're always hungry," Yanjun replied and all of them made their way to the cars with the other boys messing around behind them.

"Jiejie, when we perform you can watch me during the first song, but I think if you watched me during the second song you'll drag me off stage."

"I don't doubt that, but okay. I'll just watch Yanjun."

"But just watching. No drooling."

"Okay..."

"And no dating Yanjun."

"What," Scarlett said and Yanjun turned around, hearing his name.

"What are you talking about," Yanjun asked, slowing down to walk beside Scarlett who had her eyes on her brother.

"I thought you shipped Yanson," Nongnong said from behind them as he hooked his arm with Chengcheng's.

"What the heck is-"

"It's our ship name. Yanjun and Crimson," Scarlett quickly explain and he nodded, but abruptly stopped.

"Hey! I'm the only one who calls her Crimson."

"We know. It's just a ship name," Linkai said.

"I like it," Yanjun smiled, his hand brushing against Scarlett's. She shook her head at him though and kept her focus on Justin who was hesitating.

"I just shipped them for fun. I don't really want them to date," Justin confessed, not meeting their eyes as the group walked. The others became silent and Yanjun watched Scarlett as she bit her lips.

"Oh. Th-That's okay, J. We weren't thinking about dating anyways," Scarlett lied. She had been thinking about trying a relationship with Yanjun, but he had never really asked her anyways.

Yanjun frowned and so did the other boys.

"Really? Huh. I didn't have to say Jiejie's off limits after all."
