Time: 3:38 p.m
    After Uno Divide's short time on tour, they had one last thing to do before being able to return home. The boys gathered in the little room, sitting in their assigned seats. The talk show doesn't go live for another 20 minutes so they were just talking amongst themselves. Not much has been happening, but as the days progress they all slowly become a bit happier.
    There were two couches where four of them each could sit on it while the last three sat on stools between the two black couches. Renly sat at the far right by the interviewer, going down was Axel, Ethan, and Li on the right couch. The three stools going left was Kilo, Enti, then Shima. The last four was Noah, Cole, Zica, and finally Koi.

Both couches get two microphones while the stool area in between gets one.

As Uno Divide gets comfy and ready, Axel finds a fluffy yellow pillow behind him and sticks it on his lap for an unknown reason. Renly rolls his neck, preparing himself for a full out English conversation until him and Axel whisper back and forth behind hands about possible interview questions, Raxel being a popular ship. Mother and Grandfather in a way, kind of like Jin and Suga from BTS.
Ethan finds a bright purple fringe heart pillow behind him so he decided to grab that and put on a brave smile. Li leans over from the stool, pointing to the heart eye emoji pillow behind Ethan. "Hyung..may I?" Ethan rolls his eyes with a smile and handing it to him. Everyone was happy about being able to be regular boys. Kilo and Enti who were also on the stool were putting water bottles at every members feet, with them both giggling and laughing when Enti accidentally hit his foot on the couches leg.
Shima and Noah were speaking quietly with formality, helping each other by adjusting their clothes to make sure there was no dust on it, while Zica and Shima shared a purple devil emoji pillow. Koi was currently blowing kisses to the camera with a (coincidentally) BTS BT21 Mang plushie on his lap.

"GOOD AFTERNOON NEW YORK!!" Booms a voice, with all of Uno Divide clapping along with the audience as the interviewer walks out with a microphone. Handsome, bright smile, at least early thirties.

    "I am here today to present a rising boy group in America, UNO DIVIDE!" The man finds his recliner by Renly who was already sitting straight, resting his elbows on the sun emoji that rested on his lap as he holds the microphone with the other in Axel's hand.
    The interviewer looks at all of the boys with a smile, "So 11 members, is it? If I may ask, could you introduce yourselves please? I'm Jamison Woods." Renly translates to the others that couldn't understand, and he stands up with the others following. "1,2,3 we are Uno Divide!" They make an X with their arms then point at the crowd with their left hand then bow.  Now sitting down, Renly starts on the introduction. "Hello I am leader Renly! It's a pleasure to meet you." He waves as fangirls scream at his English. Axel waves, but before he could speak, the fans scream it for him. "AXEL!!!!!" He smallens just a little and gives a shy slight smile, "I'm uh Axel.." Ethan gives a sexy grin that he was known for. "Hey what's up!? I'm Ethan!" He makes a peace sign.
    Li waves frantically, "Hi! I'm Li! Leader for maknaes muahahaha!" The fans scream and wave their signs plus light sticks. "Hello! I am your maknae Kilo!" He makes duck lips and a peace sign as Koi cuts in, "Don't you fret your honey buns, that doesn't stand for kilogram! Don't do drugs kids!" He points around making a bunch of girls in the crowd coo at him. The Hyungs sighs with an annoyed yet admiration smile for their youngers. After everyone gets back focused, Enti is next. He hugs his pink heart pillow and waves shyly. Renly pats a spot where he could squeeze in between him and Axel where Ethan is going to take the stool. Renly wanted him over there to help him speak. Enti quickly gets up and waddles over cuddling the pillow, almost tripping on the stool. Axels mouth barely goes up as Entis cute self was beside him.
"E-enti name is.. Mucho love all.." he blushes as he gets a pat on the back from Renly. Shima at the other end bows, "Hello..I..Shima" he smiles proudly at his attempted English then sits back down. Noah makes two wiggly peace signs. "HELLO LOVELIES! I'm Noah!!" Cole gets up popping a hip. "MY CHILDREN!! I-Am-Cole and forever queen!" Zica frowns. "Wait..are me...we intro...duc...ing?" Everyone laughs. He smiles widely with his perfect teeth. "Hi Hi! I aim..Zicuhhhh " the crowd giggles. Everyone knew who was next, so all of the others sigh and look towards the interviewer.
"Koi turn!" Koi claps before dramatically throwing confetti into the air, "WHAT IS UP MY LOVELY BEAUTIFUL FANS!! I am Koi aka THE koi boy! I aint no fake! I'm the real one! I fell IN that pond! ...wanna hear the story?"  The other members do their usual "Shut it guppers."
Jamison laughs, "You eleven are quite a group, and let me ask you, how does it feel to be in New York? Do you like it?" Renly looks at Axel letting him translate then waiting to see if anyone else wants to respond. Ethan smiles, beginning his perfect pronunciation and Australian accent that makes Uno Todos die over. "I quite like New York, it's very big to be honest."
Jamison nods and grins. "New York is big, imagine living here for a whole month." The group "ooed." Jamison looks at Renly, "So you said you're the leader, how do manage ten boys that are younger than you?" Everyone laughs. Renly rubs the name of his neck, revealing his German accent.
"Well...it's quite different." That causes everyone to crack up. Jamison laughs, "I bet, but how do you maintain your routine?" Renly shrugs, "I wouldn't say that we have a routine since everyday is literally different as the week goes on, but to keep it more simple, me and Axel who are the two oldest, make sure to split chores between the other members.
Jamison looks over at the pink haired. "According to your fans, you are the second...oldest?" He nods. "There have been rumors that you are going to be releasing your first solo album, is that true?" Axel gives a small smile, "Well-" Koi jumps up. "OF COURSE ITS TRUE!! WE ONLY DO IT FOR THE FANS!!" Zica shoves him down, messing up his english cutely. "Up Shut." Everyone then cooed at his English attempt. Axel ignores and continues, "Well since you know now, it is true, but the release date and concept is a secret and a surprise." Jamison looks at his paper then at Koi with an amused look. "So..your name..it's a memorable story to your fans...what-well...what is this about a um..pond?" His head tilts a little out of weirdness and curiosity.
Koi jumps around excitedly as all the other members groan, "boy do I have a story for you!" he then walks over to the interviewer and grabs his hand. "One day.. During 5th grade I was going to the zoo with my class.. NOW DONT GET CONFUZZLED because it is not ABOUT the zoo but what happened IN the zoo. I saw some fishes, and they were the prettiest of the earthlings! They were KOI FISH! Now, as I was looking at my beautiful children I named them, Gerald and the rest were Gerald Jr.. Now I was quite a curious little human child and I wanted to pet one and my friend VaH LENCIAAAAAAAAAH was like 'bet' and then she PUSHED me in.. Now here is the tragic part... I, me, myself, was swimming with the little fishiees , however" Koi fake sniffs, "GERALD WAS NOT! HE DIED! I KILLED MY DAUGHTER GERALD! I MISS MY DAUGHTER!" he then smiles, "Now you may be wondering, why exactly my name is Koi and it is because all the little children bullied me about it.... BUT WERE NOT SAD KOI HOURS HERE SO! When I got out of the fish pond there was A LIVING BRETAHING STARFISH STUCK TO MA BUTT! MY BUTTTT! And no one told me, not even my good friend who is lowkey kinda scary crazy weird, no, she LAUGHED at ME! AND I WAS THE ONE HELPING HER ENGLISH AND SHE WAS MEANNN!" He then goes back to his seat and bows, "so moral of the story childrens... ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT STRAPS OR ELSE GERALD WILL EAT YOU CARCASSE! The end." The whole room went drop dead silent. They weren't sure what to think of this. Until one person started giggling in the crowd, the whole room died of laughter. To the point of tears fell down.
Jamison reads his paper before looking back at the boys, "So what is it like being in the Kpop industry as being an openly LGBT group when it is not as accepted in South Korea as in America?"  Kilo nods at the question, being able to speak perfect English due to living in Chicago. "There really isn't much to say about it, we are just like any other group wanting to pursue the same dream..and that's music." Cole grins widely. "It..hard som-times. Though some mem..bers dating each other. We are same." Renly re tells it to the interviewer.
Jamison's eyebrows furrow at the next question. "I wasn't sure if I was supposed to ask this question but..if I may...who is Kimino Uzumaki?...It says he is the youngest but best male idol in Korea right now..also already being nominated for a Grammy. And supposedly he was in this group...is everything okay?" Most of the boys tense up at the question but Noah nods, "In the beginning it did affect us because Imi- uh Kimino was like our little brother but ultimately we want what is best for him and his career.. So yes, everything is okay. We are happy for him."
Zica continues, "Agh, we are small company so it was best for him to leave to go SM where he would get more recog-nition. So it was for business reasons. We are proud of Kimino and all that he has achieved so far and we hope he continues to do great things and make an..." Zica looks to Koi for help on the word, Koi whispers it to him, and Zica smiles, "an impact on the world." Jamison looks at them numbly. "Well then, at least you all are supporting him, moving on..what are idols that you look up to and want to collaborate with?"
After Axel translates it to the others, Li claps excitedly, "yes yes um Yoongi BTS is.. Very nice rapper for coolaboratien!" Renly chuckles at Li's attempt of English, "BTS would be nice, but that is a bigggg step from where we are on the "known" scale. However, I think someone I look up to is Shownu from Monsta X, he is a great dancer and so kind and ya know pretty cute." he whispers the last part. Everyone laughed, though no one noticed the newest marks on his neck. He squirms a little but in the end they were all happy.
Jamison smiles, "the final question I have for today is, do you guys get to see or talk to your families often?"
Shima thinks for a moment as Kilo translates for him, "well old sister is husband now, and no see parents since school so no. not really."
"I not contact since came from Costa Rica so not do know how family is. I do have two sister younger." Enti looks to Axel as if to ask if he said it correctly. Axel nods giving his thigh a gentle squeeze." Enti feels complimented suddenly, blushing with his whole aura glowing. The interview in the end was fun, small memories including videos of Koi's amazing story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the interview, the boys boarded the bus to head back to their hotel. Exhausted from all that they've been doing lately. Koi lays his head in Zica's lap and begins to doze off when feels Zica shake him a bit. He opens one eye, "Yes dear?" Being caught off guard Zica blushes fiercely, "Well I was um wanting to play games on my phone but it's dead.. May I use yours?.."
Koi giggles and gets his phone from his pocket, "Of course my love." As Zica happily plays Temple Run, Koi falls back asleep. After getting a bit bored with Temple Run, Zica was looking through his own Instagram, making sure it still remembered Koi's account. All had their own account with many followers and their group one. Zica looks at the post of 3 photos from one of his dates with Koi yesterday.

Zica frowns, who is the last person that commented?...He clicks on the profile. Hmm...a soloist at Shinelight Entertainment, but her pictures when the face is in it..she has a face mask in. Maybe not ready to reveal herself?..Zica smiles down at Koi, he is extremely loved. He leans down and kisses Koi's temple, then continues scrolling and finds a single post with her face from a year ago.

Zica is about to turn Koi's phone off when his phone dings, when he looks it's a text from 'Enci' That's weird.. Why would Enti text Koi when he is right up there. Zica shrugs and opens the message.

Enci <3 : Boy do I have a story for you!!! (also p.s saw the interview... that was sick man! congrats!!)
Haha really funny Enti, you were there with us.

Enci <3 : Dylan...what drugs are you on... hook me up! >_<

I'll just pretend that I totally know what's going on. Why are you texting me when we're in the same car??

Enci <3 : First you don't respond to my "Boy do I have a story for you!!!" then you call me Enti and now you're saying we're in the same car? Are you okay Koi? Do I need to push you into another pond or did you just eat too much confetti?Wait, don't tell me something happened to your butt again..?

Umm... this isn't Koi. Im his boyfriend. He's currently sleeping and I was allowed to use his phone since mine is dead and I forgot to bring a charger.
Enci <3 : mdnfwjvh OMG ARE YOU THE CUTIE FROM THE PHOTOS ON @zicajpark ?? I AM DYING SO HARD RIGHT NOW BROSKI WOW SOMEONE STEP ON ME!

uhh yeah I am..it's not that big of a deal?..

Enci <3 : Not that big of a deal? Have you met Dyll? He's so wacky! But deep down he is really picky on the people he chooses to be in life.. You're technically a god at this point if you've been dating him. Like #praisethezica It probably took him a year to actually be my friend, haha

oh. well thanks for telling me? I should go, the car is almost at the hotel. bye, I'll tell him you texted if he asks.

Enci <3 : Byeee! If you could, please tell him as soon as you can to "text haesook, it is an emergency." If I don't answer the text than try my milo instagram, but my phone gets taken after a certain time. Thank youuu!! Hugs and happiness to you and the other boys.

Alright. Nice meeting you enci..!!
