Minhyuk's P.O.V.

"Ok! Guys! From the beginning!", Shownu-hyung shouted, still full of energy. As if we hadn't practiced for five long ass hours without a break.

I CAN'T... ANYMORE...

Of course I couldn't say it out loud. 아름다워 was already playing and I had to get ready.

I breathed heavily and tried to put on the usual smile on my face, the one that reassures everyone and makes even myself believe I'm always ready to have fun.

"Minhyuk-ah! What's the matter? Why aren't you in your position?"

Shit.

I was too slow, and Hyung noticed me still with my hands resting on my knees.

"Ah! Sorry, Hyung~", I said in the most annoying way possible. "I was just staring at your arms, they look so good today, they caught me off guard!"

I heard fake coughing and choking sounds, and of course Kihyun-ie was behind Hyung, with Changkyun-ah, putting two fingers in his own mouth like he's about to vomit.

Idiots.

Jooheon-ie facepalmed himself.

"Hyung... Why do you have to be so cheesy even here? Monbebes are not watching us!", he said, his hand still on his forehead.

I flashed everyone another convincing smile. "Oh? How can you be so mean, Jooheon-ie!", then I pouted, and made the TT pose that he loved so much. "You are always over here doing your aegyo, how can you tell me not to be cheesy? It's just who I am!"

Jooheon laughed a little after shaking his head. "Ah, Hyung, you always say that, I don't even know what to do with you anymore."

I laughed, happy to see that I could still make them laugh, or at least react, somehow.

"Minhyuk, it's not time for you to joke around like this", Shownu-hyung said getting close to me with a serious face.

He was not that serious in general, his face had always been a mistery even after two years together as a group, we did not call him Appa-nu or Robot-nu for nothing. Sometimes you could not get what emotion he was expressing.

But when he was serious, especially about dancing, you could not mess up much with the leader.

"I know, I know", I told him while stretching my arms a little. "It's just that we are all so tense here, I'm not comfortable after so many hours dancing nonstop..."

He sighed. "You are right... We could take a br-"

"Oh, hell no!", Kihyun bursted in the conversation. "We're gonna practice five more hours if it's necessary!", he said while looking at Shownu, fiercely. Appa, on the contrary, looked like a beaten up puppy, and didn't finish his sentence.

"I do NOT want to have to go on stage and mess up the jacket-passing at the end of the song!", Kihyun continued, crossing his arms in front of me like a bossy princess.

"HEY!, I already said I was sorry!", quickly I responded, before a storm came. "It just happened one time, c'mon!" If looks could kill, I would have been already dead during the No.Mercy times, because Kihyun's glare was creating a new Mariana Trench in my skull.

"A mere sorry is so NOT going to help us here, Minyuk-ah!", he said. "Don't you care about our fans and how they disappointed they must be for us?"

"Oi oi..." Wonho approached him, speaking in his usual calm tone. "It's not a jacket that did not fell in the right hands on the right time that is going to make us better idols, you know? Stuff happens."

Kihyun looked at him, as he wanted to punch him. Only problem would hvae been that, comparing the two, Wonho would be way too strong for him, even if sometimes I wondered if his muscles were real or not.

"Always defending the others, huh", said Kihyun, still sensitive.  We were not even in the Monsta X-ray Season 1 episode where I got him so mad at me for not showing the item correctly.

"Why don't you care about your stuff? You should be practicing your singing a lot, instead of defending those who need practice, too."

Then-

🔇

-the music suddenly stopped.

And no, it was not a dramatic effect of some kind of K-Drama.

It was Hyungwon who hit the wrong botton while trying to do something with the lights.

When he noticed that all of us were looking at him, he looked at us back.

"What?", he asked.

"Was that necessary?", I asked, still unsure if I had to run away from Kihyun, standing in front of me but now glaring at Hyungwon, or let the fate strike me now instead of later.

"I didn't do it on purpose", Hyungwon answered, putting on his meme face and not caring about the death stare the shortest among Monsta X was giving him.

"AHH!" Kihyun let out a weird sound. "This group is going to make me crazy!", said, as he passed a hand through his now dark hair.

Pink was actually really good on him...

"YA!" He snapped me back to reality. "I'm not done with you! We will still practice with Beautiful and Shine Forever, they MUST be perfect!", he kept saying as he reached for a towel. We all were soaked wet.

"Whatever you say, Kihyun-eomma..." I said almost whispering. I drank a little Energizer.

"What?"

I almost choked. "Nothing, nothing..."

And so the sixth hour of practice began.
