UNO DIVIDE : Male Youth : BOOK 1

CHAPTER 6 : Life WITHIN

Location: Dance Practice
Day: Tuesday
Date: December 26th, 2018
Time: 8:00 A.M.
Yesterday was one of the groups hardest days yet; they had a 2 hour fanmeet, a 5 hour difficult dance practice, along with a 2 hour workout session, a 3 hour meeting with all of Shinelight Entertainment, receiving their only meal of the day which was a cup of rice and 2 pieces of chicken.
The boys have been exhausted these past days, finally getting into their routine of being an idol. Despite all the hardships, they learned how to manage it by drinking more water so they wouldn't be hungry, taking naps when they were in vehicles, and showering early every morning instead of at night so they could get more sleep.
Amongst all the boys, Mino was struggling the most because he was always going between the 3 companies and being put under tons of practices. SM placed the young boy on strict regulations with dating and staying trim, while BigHit wanted to make sure he wasn't being overworked.
In the past few days, Axel came out as asexual ruining his friendship with Enti by admitting that they were never dating it was just a one time thing to help him that day. The skinship that Enti initiated with Axel was too much for the older to handle, causing him to sneak out at night to take walks to clear his mind. No one knows, and the managers were the only ones who knew why.
One of the biggest things the group was doing was the preparation for the  Cupid !S ▲SLEEP tour. 26 locations, where many interviewers from American wanted to see the group of a dozen, and they are to appear at the BBMA'S and to open a performance in 2019. 
All the boys have started going to sleep between 7:00 and 8:30 p.m due to the excruciating schedule that they have to follow. Mino was put under a strict diet by the orders of SM not because he was overweight, but to keep his dancing body trim, and his youthful features healthy.
Koi was put under one by Shinelight himself since he needed to build some "core muscles" to "complete the image of a rapper." No matter what, Koi managed to keep his happy and "swaggy" self for the Uno Todos.

"Hurry up Koi-Ssi!" Shima yells to the younger who was "fixing" his hair in the bathroom. "We'll be late for our dance lesson!" Zica ties his sneaker laughing. "I don't understand why he's trying to look so good for an event where looks don't matter." Koi comes out grinning, his water bottle in his left hand. "I am ready!"
"If we're late by accident, hopefully we won't have to do wall sits." Zica shudders. "Doing planks were terrible enough." Shima opens the bedroom door to the hall. "Let's hurry then.."he checks his watch. "We got 32 minutes before it starts, so i'll buy you both Starbucks."
And they went on their way.

Koi, Shima, then Zica

Enti, Noah, then Axel

Li, Kilo, then Renly

Mino, Cole, then Ethan

Everyone was stretching, waiting for the teacher to come in the room. "Enti-Hyung!!" Koi groans, as his back gets pushed to the floor in straddle position by Enti. "How can you do it and not meee?! THIS HURTSSS" Enti rolls his eyes at his dramatization.. "You just need to keep stretching. If you do this often, you're body can adjust and bend/move easier with harder choreography."
Enti lets go, and stretches along his younger. Mino waddles over cheerfully. "Good morning!" His small body sits down, where he straddles as well, easily placing his nose to the floor, where he could feel Ethan's eyes behind him looking his back up and down. Koi smirks. "Is your Oppa eyeing you Mino-Ssi?" Mino makes a fake scoff. "Let him stare! He can look but not touch." Enti sighed, wishing something interesting could be happening to him as well. Axel hasn't spoken to him at all today.
It sucked..
But at least he had the Makane's..
In the corner, you could hear Cole's feminine scream when Axel is making him reach for his toes. "OH MY GOD, MY SEXY THIGHS HURT!" Axel pushes him more. "Suck it up and be a man" Axel's long torso and legs move as one while he makes small dancing motions to warm up his limbs.
The door suddenly burst open and a lady in her mid to late 20s walks in. She walks quietly to the front of the dance room, observing everyone when they think no one is watching. The lady looks around seeing all the twelve member's body strengths. Some couldn't even reach their toes, while some were about to be in the splits.
"Okay cupcakes, get it in a line from oldest to youngest!" The lady claps loudly. Everyone scrambles up, and her piercing eyes stared at us. "I'll be here till your performance of Blood, Sweat, and Tears in a month. My name is Jinsoo, if you don't like me, I don't care because that's not why I'm here."
Axel chokes on his water.. "Could you please repeat the song?" Jinsoo smirks. "You are doing the song Blood, Sweat & Tears by BTS from the WINGS era." Everyone looks at Mino who is under the Bighit company. The Maknae sighs. "It's a dance about your lust and personal desires..it's a little dirty yet elegant." Jinsoo raises a brow. "You're the next upcoming golden Makanee i've been hearing about..under three contracts with." Her gaze hardens.
"That'll make me expect more from you. But don't think i'm going to give you any special treatment. I'm just going to show the world how a person under three companies looks like. That means you have potential, you have talent, and you need to help your Hyungs. Yes?" Mino's face was completely pale, but he then automatically bows. "Uh..yes ma'am!" Ethan smirked, crossing his arms and popping a hip. "Mino was always special. It's no surprise really."
Jinsoo motions for them all to get quiet, "I have a few rules. You break them, I'll send you out and you will have to learn this by yourself." She raises a finger with each rule," one, don't call me ma'am it makes me feel old, I'm only 28. Two, always try your hardest. I'm going to push you boys, past your breaking points. Three, no crying if you can't do something. I want you guys to cry because you're making so much progress. Now finally, the most important rule, be yourself. We don't need anymore copycats in this world." She looks at all twelve boys individually.
Li raises his hand. "If I may...uh.." Jinsoo looks over at him. "What?" Li sighs with an embarrassed face. "I'm the worst dancer in the group." Jinsoo laughs. "Good! That means you'll become the most improved." Renly tugs at the hem of his shirt. "Why a song with uh..darker meaning? Isn't it sexual like Mina-Ssi said?" Jinsoo crosses her arms. "I hope you're not complaining, you're a main dancer right? That means you can do it..and you will." 
Zica jumps up and down wanting to talk. "I..uh..do not have a sexy point." Jinsoo rolls her eyes. "If BTS's Taehyung can do it, you can too." All Zica did was nod. "Also, you will dye your hair since the dye your staff used on you was expired and they didn't know it. ALL of you will get a whole new makeover the right way before you go on a world tour as well. AND I might end up being your group manager." Koi pulls his hair. "So that's why my scalp feels sensitive?" Jinsoo nods. "Yes, unless you fucked someone last night and they tugged your hair due to your talents of pleasuring someone. Good job, that'll help you in the dance."
Zica answers stupidly, not thinking. "I mean..I did  tug his hair a little to hard last night." The Hyung's all stop, and look over at him. Cole even was quiet. "Wait..you mean..dumb Zica had se-"
"Okay shut up." Noah says slapping his arm.
Mino squirms, scratching the love mark on his back created by Ethan. It's not exactly a bad thing. He thought. Jinsoo looks over at Kilo. "What about you? Have you jumped one of your members bones?" He licks his lips looking at her. "No..but i could do it here right now with you."
Jinsoo freezes then makes a face of disgust, "No thanks hun, I'm married and she's the only one that gets to have her way with me." Cole nods in admiration. "You're the dominant? How cool." She frowns. "But you're not, and clearly not dating any of your members."
Cole pouts. "We'll see about that."
And all the members scoot away from him.
Jinsoo smirks, "And that's exactly my point..anyways..GIVE ME FIVE LAPS AROUND THE ROOM!'
