Jeno woke up to the muffled sound of laughter coming from outside of his room. He had wanted to lie in a little longer, but he eventually got out of bed and headed to see what, and who, was causing the noise.
"Waaaa! Renjun don't walk away!" Jisung said as Jeno appeared in the living room. Jisung was stood on a hoverboard. He held onto the sofa like his life depended on it. "Jeno! Save me!" Jisung said. Jeno laughed as he headed to Jisung to help him off the hoverboard safely.
"Jeno, we were just testing the hoverboards." Jaemin said. Next to him were three others: a pink one, a black one, and a light blue one. "Here," he placed his hand on the hoverboards "try it."
Jeno took the pink hoverboard and placed it on the floor. He noted that they were pretty heavy. "How do you even get on these things?" Jeno asked. He had seen them before, just never been on one. Jaemin walked to the opposite side Jeno was on and held out his hands.
"You step up like you would if it was a step in a house." The younger boy said. Jeno held Jaemin's shoulders to balance himself as he stepped up.
"Woa!" He felt him self wobble until Jaemin moved his hands to hold Jaemin's waist. The young boys looked at each other.
"Careful now, I have no clue how to help you if you get injured." Both of the boys laughed. Once Jeno got his balance, Jaemin removed his hands, and Jeno slowly moved his from Jaemin's shoulders. Jeno stood alone on the hoverboard, he was still slightly unbalanced when he moved, but when stood still he was comfortable.
"Yah! Jisung!" Renjun said as Jaemin and Jeno looked over. Jisung had left Renjun on the hoverboard and he was unable to get off of it out of fear. "Jisung! Help me right now!"
"I'm only playing fair! You did this to me too!" Jisung replied, laughing at the situation.

The four boys arrived at the practise room. They opened the door to be greeted by the loud noises of Mark, Haechan and Chenle.
"Yaaaaaa!" Chenle screamed, he had created some sort of cockroach with two of the hoverboards and his body. He was rolling around the place pretty quickly. Mark was dying of laughter, and Haechan was trying his hardest to be able to ride comfortably on the hoverboard.
"How is Chenle so good?" Jisung stared in awe at the boy's 'cockroach' move.
"He probably owned one before." Jaemin said. The four boys walked further into the practise room. The taller manager began to speak. "Okay so you're probably-"
"Waaaa!" Chenle screamed as he slid past the manager. The manager simply sighed.
"Chenle, please put the hoverboards away for now." The manager continued with what he was talking about. "You're probably wondering why there are hoverboards. Part of your debut dance involves dancing on these." All seven of the boys stood there dumbfounded.
"Dance? On these?!" Haechan said, pointing to the hoverboards on the floor. "The only one that can ride them is Chenle!"
"I know, I know. But, it's a way to create a big opening for your group. Your debut is soon, so we have to get you on these things now." The boys all remembered they're are set to debut soon. In around a month.
"That's not enough time? These things are hard to use!" Renjun said. It seemed his studies had helped since he spoke well.
"I know, but I can't change the date. Lee Soo Man has already had us prepare everything for the set debut date." The manager said. He was genuinely apologetic about the situation, but he didn't think he could do anything. The poor boys had no choice learn how to use the hoverboards.
•••
The boys had spent the past month preparing for the debut. This included practise with and without the hoverboards, hair, and filming and photos. Every bruise and every scratch. Every tear drop and every sweat drop. Every emotion they felt had played a part in getting all seven of the boys to their position. Everything was set.
The boys waited in the green room of their first performance: Inkigayo. The stage was set.
"Are we ready?" Mark asked. He felt he should say at least something to calm the nerves of the younger boys. They all had decided that he would be the leader.
The six younger boys nodded.
