Summary: Watching their first comeback stage for "Be Mine."
Writer's Note: Seriously, it happened, and it made me laugh (and still does).

SungJong left the shower, drying his hair and still faintly shivering. The main problem with being the youngest in a place with one bathroom for the seven of them (thank heaven at least they were all boys...) was he rarely had a warm shower.
"SungJongie, come on! We're ready!" SungKyu called, and Sungjong tossed the towel at the hamper and went into the main room to gather with the others around the small TV.
They didn't have much faith in the camera work at the music shows, to be honest, but sometimes they caught things the group might have missed otherwise. And they wanted to know how to improve.
The recording from Music Core started, and SungJung leaned back, pulling his legs to his chest. Hoya's knees bumped his shoulder on one side, Dongwoo's on his other; L sat on the floor with SungJong, as did Woohyun.
The first time through was just a chance to see what the camera had gotten, so they didn't say much. Until the chorus after the dance break. SungJong had actually hoped, maybe, the camera had missed that....
"What was that?" DongWoo asked suddenly, sounding way too amused for SungJong's mental health.
"What?" SungKyu asked, sounding half asleep - which he might be, with SungYeol standing behind him trying to rub the rocks out of his shoulders. Their first performance had him so tense he probably wouldn't sleep much tonight, no matter how well they did.
"Rewind it," Hoya said, sounding as amused as DongWoo, and SungJong sighed.
"It was falling off my shoulder and driving me nuts," he said. "That was the only time I could fix it without ruining the choreography."
They fell silent, watching, and L and WooHyun hooted with laughter when it played again.
"I don't know," SungKyu said, sounding amused, and SungJong sighed softly in relief. It could have been bad.... "It didn't stand out too badly. And good timing."
"See?" SungJong said, and then disappeared under a pile of the others, struggling to get away from Dongwoo and Hoya's tickling fingers.
