Soojin excitedly started scrolling through her phone, showing Hana the concert dates and venues. "Oh my gosh, Hana! They're coming to Seoul! We have to go!"
Hana chuckled, shaking her head. "You know I'm not a fan, Soojin. But I'll go with you if you want." She finally gave in to her friend.
Soojin's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? You'd do that for me?"
Hana nodded, smiling. "Of course, I'd do anything for you. But don't expect me to start singing along to their songs or anything."
Soojin grinned mischievously. "Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. Yet."
Hana playfully rolled her eyes. "I'm watching you, Soojin." She gestured to her friend as she glided onto the bed.

"Kai, come on, let's get moving!" Joon called out as he walked into Kai's room, tossing a pillow at him.
Kai groggily opened his eyes, rubbing his temples. "Five more minutes, hyung."
Joon chuckled and sat down beside him. "You're going to be late for our schedule. And Minsoo's already getting anxious."
Kai yawned and swung his legs over the side of the bed. "I know, I know. Just give me a minute."
Minsoo poked his head into the room. "Kai, Sungmin's already downstairs. We need to go over the choreography one more time."
Kai nodded and stood up, stretching his arms over his head. "Alright, alright. Let's get this over with."
As they headed downstairs, Hwan caught up to them, sipping on a coffee. "Morning, guys. Ready to kill it today?"
The others laughed and joked around, their banter easy and familiar. As they stepped out of the dorm, the cool morning air hit them, refreshing their sleep-deprived faces. The van was already waiting, its engine purring softly. Their manager, Yoon ji, greeted them with a warm smile.
"Good morning, boys! Big day today. Let's get moving!"
The members piled into the van, still chatting and laughing. Kai took a seat next to Joon, who was busy scrolling through his phone.
"Hyung, what's the plan for today?" Kai asked, stifling a yawn.
"Rehearsal, music show recording, and then a fan meeting," Joon replied, not looking up from his screen.
Kai nodded, already knowing the schedule. "Got it."
As the van pulled away from the curb, Minsoo stood up, holding onto the back of a seat for balance. "Alright, guys, let's review the set list one more time."
The others nodded, gathering around him as he began to run through the songs and choreography. Hwan sipped his coffee, observing the discussion with a critical eye.
Meanwhile, Sungmin sat quietly in the corner, earbuds in, listening to their latest single on repeat. He was already in performance mode, visualizing the stage and the crowd.
As the van navigated through Seoul's busy streets, the members continued to prepare, their energy building with each passing minute. Today was going to be a big day, and they were ready to give it their all.
As they arrived at the rehearsal studio, Yoon-ji called out, "Alright, boys! Let's get started! We have a lot to cover today."
The members nodded, piling out of the van and into the studio. The dance instructor was already there, stretching his legs and sipping on a water bottle.
"Ah, finally, you guys decide to show up," he said with a smirk.
Kai shot him a mock-glare. "Hey, we're not late. We're fashionably delayed."
He chuckled. "Well, whatever. Let's get started before Minsoo has a heart attack."
The group gathered around, reviewing the choreography for their upcoming performance. As they ran through the routine, Hwan called out corrections and suggestions, his sharp eye for detail helping them perfect the moves.
After a few hours of intense practice, they took a break, collapsing onto the floor in exhaustion. Joon pulled out his phone and started scrolling through social media, laughing at a post from their fan account.
"Guys, look at this," he said, showing them a photo of themselves with ridiculous captions.
Kai chuckled. "Oh man, we look like total dorks."
Sungmin grinned. "That's what makes it so great."
As they continued to joke around, Minsoo stood up, his expression serious. "Alright, guys, let's get back to work. We still have a lot to perfect before the show."
The others nodded, knowing he was right. They had a reputation to uphold as one of the top K-pop groups, and they couldn't afford to slack off now. With renewed focus, they dove back into rehearsal, determined to give the performance of a lifetime.
As the afternoon wore on, the group's energy remained high, fueled by their collective passion for performance. They ran through the routine again and again, tweaking tiny details and perfecting their synchronization.
Finally, after hours of intense rehearsal, Yoon-ji called out, "Alright, boys! That's a wrap for today. You've done great work."
The members cheered, relieved and exhausted, as they gathered their belongings and headed out of the studio.
"Let's grab some dinner," Joon suggested, already pulling out his phone to search for nearby restaurants.
"Sounds good to me," Kai agreed, stretching his arms over his head. "I'm starving."
As they walked out of the studio, they were greeted by a group of fans, who eagerly waved signs and shouted their names.
The members smiled and waved, taking photos and signing autographs before piling into the van once more.
"Next stop, music show recording," Yoon-ji announced, as the van pulled away from the curb.
The members nodded, already mentally preparing themselves for the high-energy performance ahead.
As they arrived at the music show studio, they were greeted by the familiar faces of other K-pop groups, all gathered for the weekly recording.
The air was electric with excitement and competition, but the members remained focused, knowing they had a job to do.
With a final nod to each other, they took their places on stage, ready to give the performance of a lifetime.
"Let's do this!" Kai whispered, his eyes locked on the camera lens.
"Let's kill it!" Joon echoed, his voice low and fierce.
The music began, and the members launched into their routine, their movements precise and synchronized. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, and the members fed off their energy, giving it their all.
