SEVENTEEN | SICKFICS - HURTFICS I

Minghao | Spine

In Seventeen's practice, the members were gathered for their usual rehearsal, but today, the spotlight was on Minghao. Known for his exceptional breakdance skills, he had been practicing a new routine that had everyone intrigued.

"Hey, Minghao! Show us that move you were talking about yesterday!" Woozi called out, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Minghao grinned, adjusting his cap. "You mean the windmill? You guys are in for a treat!"

As the music started, the room filled with a powerful beat. Minghao launched into his routine, fluidly transitioning from spins to intricate footwork. The members watched in awe, their cheers filling the space.

"Whoa! Did you see that?" Joshua exclaimed, clapping his hands. "He makes it look so easy!"

Dino, who was trying to learn some moves himself, frowned in concentration. "I can barely do a basic spin! How do you even manage that?"

Minghao paused mid-dance, panting slightly but clearly enjoying himself. "It just takes practice, Dino! Want me to show you?"

"Yeah! But not in front of everyone," Dino replied sheepishly, glancing at the other members.

"Alright, let's hit the corner after practice," Minghao said with a nod. "I'll help you out."

As the music faded, the rest of the members chimed in. "You should teach us all some moves, Minghao!" Jeonghan suggested, leaning against the wall.

"Definitely! Breakdancing could be our next concept!" Hoshi added, eyes twinkling with mischief.

Minghao laughed, shaking his head. "Okay, but only if you're ready to fall a few times. It's not as glamorous as it looks!"

"Falling is part of the process!" Seungkwan quipped, trying to do a mock spin and ending up on the floor. The room erupted in laughter.

"See? Just like that!" Minghao said, helping Seungkwan up. "But it's all about getting back up and trying again."

"Right! We'll be the next b-boy group!" Woozi chimed in, raising a fist in mock determination.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," Minghao chuckled. "But I'd love to see you guys try."

The atmosphere was light, filled with laughter and encouragement. As they resumed practice, Minghao felt a sense of camaraderie that made every move worth it.

As the days passed, Minghao's passion for dance only intensified. He started incorporating flexibility training into his routine, determined to push his limits. After practice one evening, he stretched on the floor while the other members finished their choreography.

"Are you seriously going to stretch again?" Wonwoo asked, raising an eyebrow as he caught sight of Minghao.

"Of course! Flexibility is key for breakdancing," Minghao replied, bending deeper into a split.

"Are you trying to turn into a rubber band?" Joshua teased, smirking. "You know you're already impressive enough."

Minghao laughed. "It's not just about being impressive. It's about improvement. I want to try some new moves that require more flexibility."

"Like what?" Hoshi leaned closer, genuinely curious.

"Maybe some aerials or even the full backflip," Minghao said, his eyes shining with ambition. "Imagine how cool it would look in a performance!"

Dino, sitting nearby, perked up. "A backflip? That sounds amazing! Can you teach me how to do that?"

Minghao shook his head. "You have to master the basics first, Dino. It's all about building a strong foundation."
