June 18, Saturday /Emergency Meeting /Luminous Music CEO's Office
"Kick me out of this group." He said with no emotioned face. The members were shocked, worried and quite angry about Ji-Hun's decision.
"I don't like where this is going, M41. We are going to fix this problem without one member leaving the group." The assistant said, clearly not wanting Ji-Hun to leave the company and the group.
"Its the only way to keep the group from not creating issues anymore. Just kick me out of the group, so the other members have the chance to shine." Ji-Hun said, laying his back on the couch.
"I don't know if that's offensive, or not, But I felt like its very offensive especially for us? Why do you think you're the most highest or most popular in this group?" Minsu said, standing up from his seat and looked at Ji-Hun.
"I don't say I'm popular than all of you. Its the people. They are the one saying that I'm popular enough to outshine all of you" Ji-Hun justified.
"Well, you seem like saying it too. Leaving the group doesn't make the issue loose. It just proves that you really outshines us. Can you fucking make some sense out of you?" Minsu said, almost shouting. He was so angry about the fact that Ji-Hun was bringing about him outshining the other members.
"Hey, shut up, you two. That doesn't help us anymore." Hyun-Jung said, stooding up and looked at both Ji-Hun and Minsu.
"And why should I stop? Because you outshine us too? Because your highnotes are too high that it made you more popular like Ji-Hun?" Minsu said, looking at raising his voice at Hyun-Jung.
"Shut up. You really think you're the least popular here? Oh god... You even winked at the camera everytime in the Music Shows and people are always talking about you." Hyun-Jung said, pointing at Minsu which made the male angrier.
"CAN Y'ALL FUCKING STOP?" Iseul said as he stood up and looked at all the members. The room was tense. even the Assistant and their manager doesn't know what they do at this point.
"You know what, let's cool down, We'll go to your dorm to discuss this more." The Assistant of the CEO said, stooding up from the chair and went outside the office. Their manager signaled them to go outside the office and they all went straight to their dorm.

June 18, Saturday /After Schedule/Dorm
Their dorm filled with awkward silence as they walked in. Iseul closed the door behind him before going straight to the bathroom. Minsu went to their kitchen, Ji-Hun went to their bedroom to take a rest, and Hyun-Jung sat on their couch. The tension was so high that they spent almost 2 hours not talking to each other. Not until their manager opened the door, walked in with the Assistant. They needed to talk about the issue and their fight after all.
"Come out, everyone." The assistant said, calling all the members to go to their living room. The rest of the members who's not in the living room came outside and sat beside Hyun-Jung who's there the whole time.
"I know this issue is very hard for all of you. Thinking about outshining other members or thinking about someone outshining you is not a healthy mindset." Their manager said, getting straight to the point and where he wanted the conversation to start.
"You are a team, M41. M41 is not about one member and others. It is M41. 4 Males, 1 Dream? Right?" Their manager added. It made M41 realized about some stuff. M41 is a team and they really have to work together.
"I-I'm so sorry, you guys. I shouldn't said those thing I said." Ji-Hun said as he looked at the members.
"I'm sorry too. I said some harsh things on you, Ji-Hun. And.... Hyun-Jung. I'm sorry too." Minsu said, smiling at the members.

June 19, Sunday /Summer Festival Guesting/ Waterpark
"It's time to get wet!" Hyun-Jung said, looking at the members as they looked at the venue.
"Please don't say that ever again..." Ji-Hun said, looking at Hyun-Jung. It kinda does sound wrong. The members followed their manager with their bags. They went to the backstage and to where they were assigned to get ready. The staff who's already at their spot started working on preparing M41 for the event. They were really gonna get wet, literally, as the staff applied waterproof light makeup for the boys.
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
<>
The event started after a few hours. The sun was directly pointing at the stage. It surely is summer. M41 were the second one to perform since they're not the only artists who will perform at the stage. They waited patiently, looking at their phones or watching the event before finally, the event organizer gave them a signal to be ready. M41 followed the event organizer as they just waited for their group name to be called.
"Our audience here is very loud despite were very limited! Anyways, who's our next performer?" The second MC said as it looked at the camera before turning his head on the other MC.
"This another group, I think we all know this group by now. Their debut song is not just a debut song, but it is actually perfect for summer!" The first MC said, giving some nice brief explanation for M41's Good Vibes.
"I know right! when I heard about the song, I just realized that our summer can be better!" The second MC said.
"Let's not waste time because let's give it a welcome to..."
"M41!" Both MC said before stepping out of the stage and it was the signal for M41 to step in the stage. The audience screamed, some may know them but it was actually just a scream because M41 were good looking and they actually don't know the group. M41 were in their position, getting ready to sing Good Vibes once again with water splashing on them since they have to be wet, not sexually wet, since its the tradition of the festival. The audience were screaming on top of their lungs as M41's chest were exposed due to their clothes being wet.
Their song started playing, and M41 also started dancing as it played. The stage weren't slippery enough and they can manage to dance on the stage even though they were soaking wet. The fans were screaming, seeing M41 dance and the sun is pointing right at them was such an aesthetic to them. The other audience watched happily. As M41 performed, they were looking both at the camera and to the live audience. They were having fun performing and even Ji-Hun said
"LET'S GO!" In English once there were no one singing their lines to engage with the audience.
Once their song ended playing and they ended performing it, they bowed at the audience first before saying something else.
"Thank you so much for the audience! Y'all are awesome!" Minsu said with his mic on.
"ARE YOU ALL HAVING FUN?" Hyun-Jung asked, wanting the audience to scream. and the audience did so as he wanted it to be.
"Yeah! That's right!" Hyun-Jung said as he smiled.
"This has been M41! Thank you!" The members said before waving goodbye to the audience as they left the stage with a smile. The MC started talking again, introducing the next performer as M41 went back to their spot and dried themselves with the towel they bought. They ended the schedule pretty well as they went back to their dorm with a smile on their face.

June 22, Wednesday /REST/Dorm
Well, the rest of their days after the Summer Festival was pretty normal. On their MV Reaction shooting, Ji-Hun literally said,
"Damn, these boys are fine as hell!" In english in the camera, giving a commentary for their Music Video. They were amazed by how it turned out and they now understood why fans love the Music Video so much. while on their VLIVE Schedule, they played Halli Galli. Ji-Hun won so many times and the members were not happy about it despite the fact that he accidentally hurt Minsu's hand from aggressively pressing the buzzer.
"Can you believe this? Our first Rest Day as a team!" Iseul said as he was happily eating his breakfast with all the members.
"Well, actually our second time if Ji-Hun's not here." Hyun-Jung said as he chuckled.
"Yeah yeah..." Ji-Hun said as he smirked, before continuing to eat his meal.
"How about we go outside for today? We can, right? I mean we can go for a walk or like do some stuff outside our dorm! I'm bored seeing our dorm everyday!" Minsu said, wanting the members to go outside with him.
"We can, but Can we? I mean I want to but will our manager will let us?" Iseul said, not wanting the male to not lose hope.
"We can try to ask?" Hyun-Jung said , giving suggestions for the male. Well, its actually a great idea to ask permission than not. But if their manager didn't let them to go outside, at least they tried.
"I'll call our manager later. Maybe I'll use some charms on him or something." Iseul said before continuing his meal.
"Will your charms affect him? I mean he's not-not straight like me..." Hyun-Jung said, looking at Iseul, confused.
The other members were having a conversation on the living room while Iseul was on the bedroom, talking to the manager on his phone.
"Hey, Mr. Manager. Can we go outside just for today?..... Uhuh.... Yeah?...... We will just go for a walk and maybe eat something outside.... yeah.... Okay!" Iseul said while he was talking to his phone. Once the phone call dropped, he went back to the members with a smile on his face.
"I supposed our Manager let us go?" Ji-Hun said, slowly smiling before he fully smiled once Iseul nod. Minsu quickly went to the bedroom to choose a outfit for him to wear later. Hyun-Jung quickly started to wash the dishes as he picked up the used plate.
"Did we left something inside?" Iseul said after he locked the door and placed the key on his pocket.
"I have my phone... Wallet... Myself... Nothing!" Minsu said before the members chuckled and started walking towards outside of the building.

June 22, Wednesday /REST/Streets
"This is great! I barely remember how to walk on the streets with all of you" Hyun-Jung said as he looked at the surroundings. A lot of people were walking passed them and some looked at them.
"Well, its been ages since we last went outside together." Ji-Hun said, looking around the streets.
"Actually, Its great that people don't know us. We can have this day peacefully without even worrying about us being an idol." Minsu said. But after a while, a group of people were looking at them from across the street. They took their phones out and took a picture of M41 that are about to use the pedestrian to walk across the street.
After they got across the street, they were in front of the people who's checking them out. They greeted them, bowing at them before their fans bowed back at them.
"Oh my god! M41! This is great!" One male said, assuming he's a big fan of M41 by his M41 inspired phone case.
"Don't be like that! Its not like were popular." Iseul said as he chuckled.
"Oh.. you all are... At our school, many of us knew M41 because our dance club covered your debut song!" The other fan said. The members were surprised about it.
"Oh! Wow... I didn't expect that! Thank you!" Minsu said as he was still shocked about the fact that people starting to cover their song.
"I was actually one of the students who suggested Good Vibes." The female fan said as she chuckled. The members chuckled as well.
"Ah!! We don't want to disturb your Resting Schedule! Sorry for bothering all of you!" The male fan said as he bowed to apologize. His friends did it so. But the members insisted and telling them they didn't bother at all. Then, the fans took a picture of M41 with them because M41 requested it to do so. After that, the small fan meet ended, the fans and M41 went to separate ways.
"That's actually very cool to think people are covering our debut song. I wish I can see them do it too." Minsu said as he was smiling. Thinking about how their fans practice and cover their song.
They spend the day shopping, eating, and walking around the street. Minsu bought a lot of skincare products. He was about to lose some of his stocks anyway. Iseul and Hyun-Jung decided to buy some clothes for them. They wanted it as a treat for themselves. And Ji-Hun was just there, taking pictures of himself and with the members to post it on his Instagram account. His fans are waiting for it eagerly. They got back to their dorm after shopping and decided to call it a day.

June 23, Thursday /M COUNTDOWN Rehearsal + Performace/CJ E&M Center Studio
"IS THIS FREAKING REAL?" Hyun-Jung said, seeing the Top 10 Songs airing on the TV as they wait for their turn to perform.
"GOOD VIBES BY US, M41, TOP 9?" Iseul said, stooding up from his seat, shocked, as he looked at the TV, seeing "9) Good Vibes - M41" on the screen. This is incredible. The staff were happy, their manager were shocked. They didn't knew their song was climbing up the charts before The assistant of the CEO called their manager and told him that Good Vibes were on the charts.
"So, you all won't believe this. But the Music Video of Good Vibes Reached 1.4 Million Views!" The manager said after dropping the call. The members were happy for the announcement. They were clapping for joy. That also explains why they have to perform 4th to the last in the lineup.
"This is freaking crazy." Ji-Hun said as he smiled. Seeing their debut song on the Top 10 List was such an amazing surprise for them. It was actually an achievement for them.
M41 were fixing their clothes, which is they all white and blue themed outfit. It matches and it got different and unique styles for each of the member. They walked out of their dressing room after being called as the next performer.
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

They got in the stage, they were ready to perform. Once their song played, they also started dancing. They were happy dancing to their song as they were also thinking that the song they are performing was one of the Top 10 List. Their hard work was quite payed off.
After their performance, they waved at the camera, they smiled at the camera as a thanks for their fans who were with them through their journey.

June 23, Thursday /After Schedule/Dorm
They are finally resting after their exhausting schedule earlier. Iseul were in the kitchen, preparing their dinner for today, Hyun-Jung was taking a bath, and Ji-Hun and Minsu were planning to do a live in his Instagram Account. He set up his phone by trying to balance it on the bowl and once it did not fall, he started doing the live.
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
<>
Once Ji-Hun started the live, the viewers were counting up. From 4 to 94 to 153 to 494 and so on.
"Hey guys! wassup?" Ji-Hun said in English. The male smiled at the camera before looking at Minsu, wanting the male to say hello to the live too.
"Hi! Everyone! I'm actually kinda nervous because this is my first live without the supervision or help with the staff from our company." Minsu said as he chuckled.
"Haha. Well, you have to get used to it because we will do this once a week with the other members." Ji-Hun said as he chuckled as well.
"Well, if we got the time..." Minsu said before looking at the chat.
User8934 : Ohh Daily dose of Ji-Hun!
User49432 : Iloveyou Ji-Hun before you got in to M41!
User9534 : I assume the other guy is a member of M41?
User932 : Hi Minsu!
User9542 : I love you both!
User5483 : Who's the other guy?
User9434 : Ji-Hun! tell me he's your boyfriend?
User9534 : ohh.. the other guy is another member of M41!
as Ji-Hun and Minsu were reading the live chat, they knew that something not great was going on. Clearly the Live chat were saying that Ji-Hun was with somebody else, or Ji-Hun's co-member, or clearly, they didn't knew the other guy which is Minsu. It came to the point were Ji-Hun can't take it anymore...
"I'm sorry guys, but this isn't right anymore. This. Is. Minsu. A member of M41 like me. if you want to know me, please know the other members." Ji-Hun said, not wanting to cause a scene but rather take his statement in a calm way. Iseul turned his attention to Ji-Hun as he overheard what Ji-Hun said.
