Han Taesan always started his day with a hot shower. He found the heat to be cleansing and helps him focus on his day. Thats exactly what you need while training to be a K-Pop idol.

He leaves his dorm — a privilege he gets because he's going to be in the first group at this company. His roommate, who happened to be his best friend, has left already, probably warming up his vocals before they start practice.

He enters the practice room and spots his roommate, Sungho, stretching on the other side of the room. Sungho raises his hand and beckons Taesan over in urgency.

"Hey Dongminnie, did you check your phone this morning, PD-nim sent out a message to the both of us."

Taesan never checks his phone before training. He could lose focus. He had been training for a long time, almost double the time of Sungho.

He must focus if he wants to debut.

"You know I didn't, hyung," The younger responds, rolling his eyes at Sungho.

"Well, Dongminnie," Sungho says, turning Taesans birth name into a pet name. He knows Taesan hates that. "He said he has something important to tell us and that he'll swing by our practice room soon."

Taesan perks back up at that, wondering what the producer could tell them. Taesan always thought of himself as a younger version of the Zico and always wanted the rapper himself to acknowledge that. The best way he could, was to make Taesan the leader of the group when he debuts, just like how Zico himself was.

Taesan and Sungho start stretching and practicing their basic dancing when they hear a knock on the door, and Zicos head peaks in.

"Hey, boys, you mind if I come in?" the rapper asks, obviously knowing the answer. No trainee would deny their CEO.

"Of course," Sungho responds for the both of them.

Zico settles in on a chair next to the boys while they stop their stretching and face him.

"So, if you saw my message, you know that I had something to tell you, right?" Zico asks, switching into English for the last word.

The boys nod and focus their attention on the producer.

"So, what I've come to tell you is that I want you to meet your members."
