The M41 were busy doing their own things. Minsu was playing on his phone in the living room, Hyun-Jung and Ji-Hun is in the bedroom, sleeping, and Iseul is in the kitchen, cooking their food for dinner.
After a few minutes, Iseul went to the living room to place their food.
"Let's eat." Iseul said to Minsu. The male quickly followed their leader's order before he sat beside Iseul. They started eating the only food they had which is the sweet potato. They still had to go on diet as their manager ordered them to.
"I wonder how we will do tomorrow." Minsu said to Iseul.
"What do you mean?" Iseul asked.
"Our first Debut Showcase. I feel like my heart's gonna explode for that one." Minsu expressed. Iseul chuckled at Minsu's statement.
"Well, I knew it will be tiring. But it would be fun! trust me." Iseul said as he smiled, trying to not make the male nervous.

After a few minutes, Minsu takes the second to use the bathroom. Once Iseul was done cooking their food, he placed it on a ziplock bag before placing it on the table. Once Minsu is done, Iseul quickly went to the bathroom. M41 were rushing as usual.
After Hyun-Jung takes a bath after Iseul, he puts on clothes before going outside the bedroom.
"I think our manager's already here. Let's go." Iseul said as he quickly grabbed all of their bags for M41 before going to the parking lot.

June 7, Tuesday / The Show Rehearsal + Live Performance /SBS Prism Tower
M41 quickly went inside the building after they got out of their van. They followed their manager since its their first time inside the building. Once they're in the hallway, their manager looked for their dressing room. They also greeted all the people who are going past them. Once they found their room, their manager opened it for them. Their staff were already inside. M41 greeted the staff before sitting in the couch. One staff quickly grabbed a paper with M41's names on it. Iseul stood up and advised his members to stood up as well. The staff quickly placed the paper on the member's chest. After a few minutes, the staff helped the members with the in-ear monitor and headworn mics.
After a few hours, M41 went outside their room and quickly went to where fans used to sit. They watched the performance of the other groups which made M41 nervous as hell.
"Fuck... They're so good." Ji-Hun said as he looked at Minsu who sat beside him.
"I know... Hold my hand. I'm so freaking cold right now.." Minsu said as he held Ji-Hun's hand. Hyun-Jung saw that Minsu's nervous so he held Minsu's other hand to kept him warm and to lessen his nervousness. Iseul looked at the members holding each other's hands so he held Hyun-Jung's hand. M41 was really nervous that time.
It was their time to perform after 2 groups who just performed. Their manager quickly called them before they went backstage. M41 were still holding hands and they were nervous as hell. They didn't even dare to speak at all.
"M41? please enter the stage" Someone said. It can be heard on the stage and also to their IEM (In-Ear Monitor). M41 took a deep breath as they look at each other.
"Fighting M41. LETS GOOO~" Ji-Hun said loudly, trying to make the members less nervous.
"Fighting" Iseul said softly. They slowly went to the center stage.
"Hello! We are M41" The members said softly as they bowed. Some idols on the audience area applaud. They knew it is a new group. M41 went to their formations before some spoke again in their IEM.
"M41, Good Vibes, Artists, In position, Intro in 3, 2, 1." And their song starts. They started dancing. They were nervous as hell but they managed perform their song. The song went smooth. No mistakes at all. But it can see in their hands that they're nervous because they're shaking.
Once they ended performing, The next group were already backstage so they quickly went back to their seats and watched the other group's performance.
They got back to their dressing room after their first rehearsal and they started to prepare for the second rehearsal which is the dress rehearsal.
They wore the Tropical outfits they wore in the Music Video. They still wore the paper with their names on it because the staff still let them to wear it. After they wore the outfits, the staff quickly do the makeup for M41.
After a few hours, they heard the first group performing in their IEM. Iseul and Ji-Hun removed the IEM off their ears so they can focus on their meals. An actual meal. not just sweet potatoes, But the staff gave them corndogs to give make M41 not nervous for their first performance. Isn't that great?
"This is the first non sweet potato I've eaten on my whole M41 journey." Hyun-Jung said as he smiled by how delicious the corndog was.
After 2 performances, M41 were being called so they quickly went to the backstage to rehearse for the second time.
"Hello. We are M41!" M41 said before they went to their formation. The group wasn't nervous like their first practice. Then, they rehearsed once again. Singing to their song Live, like how they did during IEM rehearsal. Luminous Music wanted the group sing totally live to attract more audience and M41 absolutely did a marvelous job doing it. They ended their rehearsal with the staff of M41 applauding and shouting for the group. They bowed at the staff from SBS and went back to their dressing room again.
"Ahhh.. So tiring.." Iseul said as he sat on the couch. The other members sat on the couch as well.
"Minsu, I can hear your voice shaking" Ji-Hun said as he looked at the male who he's referring to.
"I'm so nervous.." Minsu said as he softly chuckled.
"I can hear as well. You can hear it in IEM." Hyun-Jung said as he smiled. But then, their conversation got interrupted after their manager went to them.
"This is your time to take a nap, M41. Please try your best to recover your energy." Their manager said, as he smiled at M41. The group seems to be happy with napping so they quickly ease their bodies to at least recover some energy.
"Hey." Hyun-Jung said softly to Ji-Hun as he saw the male not taking a nap.
"Yeah? Sup?" Ji-Hun whispered.
"Did you already saw how your fans felt about you being an idol?" Hyun-Jung asked.
"I haven't. I'll check it later." Ji-Hun said as he smiled.
"Well, I'm sure they're happy for you." Hyun-Jung said.
"Yeah. They wanted me to be an Idol." Ji-Hun said.
After the nap they took, the staff retouch their makeup once again for the third and last rehearsal.
They heard once again the first groups to perform before them. M41 is the 3rd performer in the lineup. They quickly went to the backstage after their group name is being called. They performed once again. But this time, there are cameras and it made M41 more nervous than they are.
"M41, Good Vibes, Artists, In position, Intro in 3, 2, 1." They heard it again after they were in their formation. And their song played once again. M41 looked good on the camera. And even though they're nervous, it doesn't seem like it on the camera. They did their best, looking, winking, and having interactions with the camera. Ji-Hun even kneeled to go closer to the bottom camera on his lines. Their last rehearsal ended well and their staff can't get even more prouder for them.
It was the time we're they are performing live. The staff retouched M41's makeup once again. A few minutes later, The Show started the Live Broadcast. It had a VCR first before the first performer performed. After the performer, The MC introduced themselves and announced the TOP 3 as well. After that, the second performer performed. Since M41 were the 3rd in the lineup, they went backstage as the 2nd performer was performing on the stage.

While the second performing is still performing, M41 were in the backstage, holding their hands. They were nervous as hell. Then, the performer were done, once the performer left the stage, they quickly went to the stage, moved to their formation, while the VCR is still going. And they heard it once again...
"M41, Good Vibes, Artists, In position, Intro in 3, 2, 1." They knew they are gonna perform it. Live.
"Fighting, M41." Iseul said for the last time before their performance.
Once their song starts playing, they started dancing. When Iseul sang, his voice was loud and clear that he's really singing his lines. Hyun-Jung who did sang Live as well as he sang his parts. He even sang the adlibs even though its not necessary. Ji-Hun, who's his confidence suddenly went up, he did what he did in the camera rehearsal where he kneeled for the camera below them. He winked as he went back to his formation, Flexing his guns for the audience. And lastly, Minsu. while he's in the center, dancing, his cuteness were overload. He smiled at the camera as soon as it focuses on him. Then their song ended, it focuses on Minsu who's clearly the ending fairy for this performance. He smiled at the camera and waved at it before the next performer quickly went to the stage. And M41 went to the backstage as well, ending their first live performance.

M41 were following their manager that is leading to them outside the building of SBS Prism Tower. Once they went out of the building, some people outside the tower, Probably their fans shouted for M41. The group were shocked that people are waiting for them outside.
"Woah...." Minsu said as he smiled at those people who shouted at them. M41 waved at their fans.
"Ah... Why are you here?" Ji-Hun asked.
"To see you!" One of the fans said to Ji-Hun. M41 chuckled by how loud it is.
"Did you already ate something?" Iseul asked the fans.
"NOT YET!"
"NO FOOD!" Some of the fans shouted. Iseul squinched his eyebrows.
"Why not? Go eat something. Like ramen, or corndog, or a meal, bento box!" Iseul said.
"Go eat something after this, Okay?" Minsu said. They posed for a few photos before they went to their van. Some fans followed them. But there were not a lot. probably their manager counted and there's only 5 females and 1 male were following them.
"Hyun-Jung!" One fan shouted. Hyun-Jung heard it so he looked to wear the source of the noise. Once he looked, he saw that someone is giving him a bag. A gift. And it made Hyun-Jung smiled and shocked by the sudden gift.
"T-thank you!!" He said as he gave the fan a wide smile before M41 went inside their van.

"What's our next schedule? Music Show again?" Hyun-Jung said as he changed his clothes.
"Yup. In Show Champion." Iseul answered as he changed his clothes as well. Minsu went to sleep after he change his.
"Oh, by the way, let's see the gift you received earlier!" Iseul said, letting Hyun-Jung remember about the gift he received from the fans.
"Oh yeah!" Hyun-Jung said as he quickly grabbed the gift he received. He looked inside, seeing a white cap with white jacket inside.
"Oh! This is cute!" Hyun-Jung said, pulling out the cap and the jacket. Iseul smiled at Hyun-Jung.
"Awww! Ask our manager if you can wear that in our performance or even just the cap!" Iseul advised.
"That's a great idea! I'll ask them our manager tomorrow!"

June 8, Wednesday /Before Schedule/Dorm
Minsu got up unexpectedly early. As he checked the time in his phone, he was 1 hour early. But still, he stood up and went to the living room. After Minsu went out of the bedroom, Ji-Hun noticed that Minsu wasn't beside him so he decided to follow the male. Minsu looked at Ji-Hun as he saw the male got up early as well.
"Did I wake you up? Sorry." Minsu asked as he was sitting in the couch. Ji-Hun sat beside Minsu.
"No its fine. I want to wake up early too... And I wanna talk to you privately." Ji-Hun said. The room became silent as the two was just sitting there awkwardly.
"So... What do you want to talk about?" Minsu asked.
"Are you mad at me?" Ji-Hun asked. It was a random question for Minsu but Ji-Hun hoped it was clear for the male.
"Mad? What do you mean?" Minsu asked.
"I'm always teasing you. Aren't you mad?" Ji-Hun said softly, trying to lower his voice to not disturb the other members.
"Oh..." Minsu said as he looked down.
"I don't... know." He added. The male was nervous for this moment.
"Its just.... You're making me-"
"Oh don't worry! I don't mean anything. All of the tease I said to you was nothing. No feelings related. It just for fun.. You know?" Ji-Hun said as he smiled. It was an awkward moment after that.
