Hey guys!! This is a what if yul actually redeemed himself! Like in the scene with James and yul. This will be poorly written since I can't write for shit. Also writting sad things is really hard for me I don't know why 🙁
----
James pov:
I was looking around bored for this stupid totem thing. Honestly I do not want to help anyone in the finale everyone sucks.
Jake? Ugh don't get me started he's delusional.
Ally? I mean she's cool I guess? But the flip on the hero's alliance?? And leaving jake to almost die by bears?? Yikes..
Riya? Yeah I'm not helping that girl. She almost killed my boyfriend.. and I just hate her in general.
As I walk around I notice someone sitting on the floor..
Yul?
(No one's pov)
James approached yul carefully..
James handed yul a wet wipe..(idfk what James gave him)
James : "here I told you being the asshole doesn't pay up.."
Yul: "it's worked for me before!! Besides why do you care?!
James hesitated before speaking
James : "yul.. you have to apologise to grett.."
Yul : "are you high on opium?! She burnt my face!!"
James: "Well.. maybe if you were nicer someone here might like you.."
Yul looked pissed
Yul : "James. I don't give a shit who likes me!!"
James : "so you enjoy sitting here alone?"
Yul was about to say somthing before looking down at the ground upset..
*uhh that times skip where the idol lands on James*
The totem lands on James head which hurt like a bitch
James : "ow!! Huh?"
James looked at what landed in his hands with confusion..
Yul : "what?! You got the idol instead of me?! What the fuck this is unfair!!"
James : "look I do not want this. But I guess I have to now. But yul.. please listen to what I said.. you need to apologise to grett before things get worser for you.. I care about you."
Yul looks down at the ground in shame once again..
Yul : "You do..? Like really?"
James : yeah man. Its just if you didn't try to poison aiden.. I generally think we could've been friends... if I was you I'd just start apologising to the people I've hurt.."
*yuls confessional..*
Yul : everything was riding on this.
My dance career my reputation!! It all went down the drain when grett voted me out!... I have nothing left.. maybe James IS right about apologising.. I mean what do I have to even lose at this point?"
*end of yuls confessional*
Yul was standing afar from grett leaning over the motels railings
Yul : "Hey grett!! I need to talk to you.!!"
Grett looked over quite worried on what yul could say to her..and looked at gabby
Gabby : "hey.. just ignore him grett.."
Grett smirked
Grett: "Maybe he just wants another barbecue facial.."
Gabby smiled letting out a little giggle
Grett stood up and made her way over to yul..
Yul started repeating to himself
"Oh god this is stupid.. but I can do it I can do it.."
He says walking down the stairs.. until he tripped over somthing on the stairs..
He stares at the stairs in anger before seeing the totem!!
Yul: (gasp) "no way..!"
Grett walks over to yul with her arms crossed
Grett "so what is it..? Did you want to ap-"
Yul stared at the totem.. wondering if he just should insult her and show off the totem in spite..but no he went over on what James told him and turned to grett
Yul : "grett.. I wanted to apologise listen I haven't been good to you.. I haven't been kind!! You don't have to accept my apology but I just wanted you to hear me out!! I know I've hurt you but.. I-... I have no excuse to be like this to you!!.. I'm sorry grett. I really am.. I've realised my actions were bad and I really hope you forgive me.."
Grett looked at yul in shock processing what he said..
Grett : " yul..? Wow..I actually didn't expect this.. listen.. I don't accept your apology since you've made comments about my own biggest insecurity on tv!! It hurt yul.. but I'm glad you've finally realised how bad you are... I hope your not just doing this for the cameras and not Emily telling you this time.."
Yul : "this is genuine.. After talking with James.. I realised my actions and how badly I've effected people.. I generally want to change for the better.. I knew my words and actions have hurt you grett.. and even others.. but I really do want to change and I'm starting by apologising to you-"
Yul was cut off by a hug..
Grett : " I'm just glad you've realised yul.. this hug means nothing but.. I'm proud your starting somewhere..-
Grett glances behind yul and noticed the totem lodged in the stairs
-wait is that the totem..?"
Yul : "I was going to take it.. but now? I don't want to. I don't even want to be here.. you can take it if you want.."
Yul walked off back into the motel..
*a couple of hours later it was night time cuz im lazy*
Yuls pov:
I couldn't sleep.. i really needed to talk to James yet he was in his room with aiden.. maybe i should apologise to aiden aswell? I mean I did try to poison him.. if I'm going to be freinds with James.. I could atleast try with aiden..otherwise that just be awkward as fuck..
I got up and started making my way to James and aidens shared room knocking on the door.. I really hope they aren't doing.. stuff right now.. like the last time were Oliver ran out of the motel.. dear god...
(No one's pov)
The door opened yul expected to see James but he saw aiden.. rubbing his eyes dressed in his pajamas.
Aiden crossed his arms seeing yul as he glared at him
Aiden : (sigh) "Oh. It's you.."
Yul looked around nervously
Yul : "is James here? I need to speak to you but.. I'd rather James be here aswell..so it's less awkward
Aiden raised a brow before moving away from the door to let yul pass and shut the door behind yul.
Aiden looked at yuls half burnt face..
Aiden : "do you need a wet cloth for that? I can go grab you one while you talk to James about whatever.. it looks like it really hurts.."
Yul : "Oh uh yes please that would be great.."
Aiddn nodded before walking to the bathroom
Yul approached James
James was on his phone as he sorted out somthing in the nightstand drawer.. yul does not want to know what was in there.. (🤫)
Yul: "James..?"
James looked up from the nightstand drawer and quickly closed it...
James : "Oh yul? did you apologise to grett? Did it go well?"
Yul : "Yeah it did go well I guess? She didn't accept my apology but.. she said that she's glad I've realised or whatever.. and I'd really love to be your friend.. and even aidens too after I apologise to him.."
James smiled..
James : "I'm glad yul.. but I also apologise for the whole mushroom incident.. aiden meant alot to me and if I didn't have him by my side I'd be nothing... I'm sorry for poisoning you yul.."
Aiden came back holding the wet cloth and handed it to yul and sat down on the bed staring up at yul
Aiden : "so yul what did you want to talk about?"
Yul : "Well I wanted to apologise.. I've decided to change my ways and apologise to the people I've hurt.. I started with grett and now I'm talking to you.. listen you don't have to accept my apology but I just wanted to let you know I'm sorry..and that I'm started to change.."
Aiden smiled at yul
Aiden : "Well yul I'm glad your starting somewhere.. and for your apology? It will definitely take me some time to forgive you. But I can tell its from the heart and how you really want to change I'm glad James was able to convince you to realise your ways were bad.."
Yul : "thank you so much aiden.."
Aiden : "I guess I'll need some time to process seeing you around alot more then! Next your apologising to lake then Gabby.. then maggy then kai-"
Aiden was cut of from yul
Yul: "Okay okay!! I get it.! I have alot of people to apologise to.."
The night went went on with them all laughing making jokes.. it was getting close to midnight and yul went back to his room..
Yull felt actually happy for once.. not that fake smile or just fake everything.. he actually left the room smiling that his cheeks hurt..

Hi!! Thank you guys so much for reading!! I think my writing style might stay like this!! Since it's more easier for me to write in if I'm making sense.😅 but I've actually enjoyed writing this since I already had it planned out since I really wanted yul to change. He almost did..IF IT WASENT FOR THAT TOTEM!!😠 but I desperately need the trio with James yul and aiden. I needed that..🤫
