''Hyung, it's left, right, left with your arms, then #5 with your leg,'' Hoshi said while repeating the movements to Wonwoo, who was staring at him intently.

"This is the fifth time you've messed it up, Hyung," Seungkwan grumbled. Wonwoo's eyes glowed with guilt for having the other members wait for him to fix his mistakes.

"I will get it right, I promise," Wonwoo promised, and Seungkwan blamed himself for saying this to his hyung." Ah, hyung, I didn't mean to make you sad, it's just that-" Dino cut him off before he could finish, adding, "He's just tired, hyung, everyone here is tired."

"Yea," Seungkwan said, clutching Wonwoo like a Koala hugging a tree. "I am sorry, I can understand," Wonwoo remarked. "Hoshi hyung, please give us a 15-minute break or I will break," Vernon begged.

Hoshi looked around at his team and saw Vernon was correct. They all seemed exhausted."All right, take a 15-minute break," Hoshi replied, prompting a breath of relief from the boys.

Some tiredly laid down on the ground, breathing heavily, while others went to get water bottles from the table where they usually stored them.

"Can you show the steps that I messed up again, Soonyoung-ah?" Wonwoo said. "But if you want a break, you can have it," Wonwoo remarked right away.

But, as a genuine dancing leader, he agreed with Wonwoo and kept teaching him the steps.

Jisoo took a bottle and sat with his back against the wall, sighing. Jeonghan and Seungcheol rested their heads on Jisoo's shoulders, sipping water from their own bottles.

"Get your sweaty heads off my poor shoulders, you punks," Jisoo taunted."Me, Jeonghan, your evil twin, is deeply offended by the words that just poured out of your precious mouth," Jeonghan joked half-heartedly.

"Me, Seungcheol, your best brother from another mother-" Seungcheol stated before being interrupted by Jeonghan, who replied, "And father," making Jisoo and Seungcheol laugh.

"Yeah, and father," Seungcheol said again."ls likewise very affected by what Hong Jisoo just said."

Jisoo chuckled, "Shut up, both of you now.""Sometimes I wonder if I'm the youngest in a queue of 95 or you both," Jisoo taunted."If you meant appearance-wise, it's of course the one and only Yoon Jeonghan," Jeonghan joked.

"The source from which you got that information must be false because the entire world knows I look the youngest among three of us," stated Seungcheol, drawing a scoff from both Jeonghan and Jisoo.

Hoshi stopped the trio moment by stating to Jisoo, "Hyung, we need you for the part of yours with Wonwoo Hyung". "You mean the hand part?" Jisoo inquired, and Hoshi nodded.

"Well, that's my cue, I've got to go," Jisoo remarked. "Have a lovely time together, lovebirds," Jisoo taunted with a wink as he approached Wonwoo and Hoshi.

This drew a scowl from the two boys in question.Despite their disapproval of what Jisoo stated, they both positioned themselves near to one another. Jeonghan rested his head on Seungcheol's shoulder, and Seungcheol adjusted his shoulders to make it more comfortable for the younger.

They were always this way. They've been inseparable since Jeonghan started his training. Always ready to offer support in difficult times and to share moments of happiness.Their relationship was greater than words could explain.They simply clicked too quickly.

Being a leader involved a lot of responsibility since managing a group of 13 people is a lot of work. Jeonghan was very helpful to him. They recognized the importance of one another because they were of the same age and had a similar outlook on life.

More like made Scoups realize the significance of Jeonghan. Jeonghan was influential in comforting and encouraging Seungcheol anytime he felt like everything was going wrong. He realised that without Jeonghan, they would never have been the team that they are now.

Jeonghan held Seungcheol's arm and gently massaged his fingers, causing Seungcheol to grin. There was a comfortable silence within them, which is one of their favourite qualities about themselves. Jeonghan closed his eyes and leaned on Seungcheol's shoulders.

They don't generally have anything to talk about. The presence of each other is just what they want. "How is your back, are you still in pain?" Scoups asked gently, to which Jeonghan answered, "It's good." Seungcheol lowered his gaze to Jeonghan's face, to which Jeonghan simply sighed and asked, "I can't really just lie to you, can I?"

"Does it still hurt?" Seungcheol asked, to which Jeonghan hummed a yes." Your back has been suffering for five days now, so why don't you rest-"but Jeonghan cut Seungcheol off before he could finish what he was saying. Jeonghan murmured, leaning even closer to Scoup's neck and closing his eyes, "No, I won't leave this room till we perfect the choreography.

"Hannie, that's not how it works; it's been five days, and the painkillers you're taking aren't doing anything to help either." Seungcheol grumbled with a little pout in his lips, "I know how you and your body works, but I can feel the pain in your face when practising, no matter how hard you even try to cover up it.

"It's something I've said before, but do you know you look adorable when you pout," laughed Jeonghan as he squeezed his best friend's face between his arms.When Jeonghan continued to chuckle, Seungcheol's pout grew even larger and he sighed, "Yah,don't change the topic."

Seungcheol had to stop when a staff member entered the practise room. He approached towards Jeonghan and Seungcheol after scanning the room and spotting them.

The staff said, "Jeonghan and Seungcheol, the manager is looking for you guys.""Manager-nim? Jeonghan questioned, "Why? "The staff said, "No idea about it, but he said to be as fast as possible since there is someone else waiting for you both.

"Just the two of us, right?" Seungcheol asked, and the staff nodded in response."Tell him we'll be there shortly."He is in his cabin right?"asked Seungcheol." Yes, he is at his cabin."replied the staff. Seungcheol nodded in response to the staff."Okay, we'll be there soon. Jeonghan said.

While requesting that the other members resume their practise, the staff left the room. Jeonghan was the first to stand up so that he could follow Seungcheol to the cabin, but was quickly pulled back to the ground by Seungcheol, earning a Yelp from Jeonghan.

"After we meet the manager, promise me that we'll visit a doctor to discuss your back?"Seungcheol's comment came across more as a statement than a question.

As soon as Jeonghan said, "After the meeting, we will meet a doctor, I swear," Seungcheol offered him his signature dimpled-gummy smile, and Jeonghan returned the smile.
