June 27, Monday / After Schedule / Dorm
It's been 2 days since that conflict happen and M41 didn't know what to do after it. Their luggage was already near the front door, waiting for a signal on what they should do. Minsu was doing the dishes, Hyun-Jung decided to take a shower, and Ji-Hun was taking a nap beside Iseul who was scrolling through social media. The Members heard their front door open so they quickly ran to check who came into their dorm except for Hyun-Jung who was still taking a shower.
"No group is disbanding. Tomorrow, we move on to our next schedule!" Their Manager said, smiling at the members. But the members seem to be not satisfied with this.
"You're not disbanding this group? Do you know the consequences we'll experience if we keep the group going?" Iseul, their leader said as he looked at their manager.
"Do you think leaving and disbanding the group will be the solution to this issue? Think about your fans once they knew you'll be disbanding. Don't you feel bad?" Their manager said, explaining to the members the fact that M41's fans will be sad if they let the group disband. The members shared a look before they looked at their manager.
"You're right..." Ji-Hun said as he smiled. The other members grabbed their luggage before they went back to their bedroom where they saw Hyun-Jung putting on some clothes.
"What happened?" He asked, pretty confused y how the other members changed their minds as they try to unpack the things inside the luggage.
"Our fans will be sad if we disband..." Minsu said, explaining it to Hyun-Jung. Now that M41 decided to not leave the group, How will they solve the issues that made them want to leave the group? This is The M41!

The boys entered the Office before they sat down on the couch. they patiently waited for their manager and the assistant of the CEO to say something.

"I suppose, this Music Bank schedule is our last live show?" Hyun-Jung said as he looked at their manager.
"Unfortunately, yes. Your debut song is already released for almost 1 month and the promotion week for it is almost done too." The manager said as the members are quite relieved about it. They are so excited to take a rest after all of the stuff that happened to them.
"As for the issues, The staff and I will take care of it. Don't bother what people think about all of you. We will solve it as long as you do your work correctly." The assistant of the CEO said, explaining to the members about the issue the group had. The members shared looked at each other and smiled.
June 29, Wednesday / Before Schedule / Dorm
"Can you believe this? we're back on track!" Minsu said as he fixed his hair while looking in the mirror. The other members were fixing their stuff, preparing themselves for the upcoming schedule they had today.
"We didn't get a chance to say sorry for how we acted that time, but still, they gave us a chance," Hyun-Jung said as he smiled.
"Let's go! Did we forget something?" Iseul said, checking up on the members. The other members shook their heads in response. They went outside their dorm and went to the parking lot where their manager and their driver were already waiting for them there.
June 29, Wednesday / Soda Commercial Shooting / Studio
"There they are! The M41!" A man said, presumably the director for the commercial shooting as he stood up from the director's seat.
"Hello, Sir!" The members greeted the director and their manager shook the director's hand.
"Please take care of them!" Their manager said before the members smiled at the director.
"I sure will. Anyways, please proceed to your dressing room, we're still working on the set so make yourselves comfortable there, okay?" The director said before he calls one of the staff to assist them. As they walk past the set, the members shared looks.
"I always see this set on tv! This is amazing!" Minsu said as he take a look at the set again.
"Me too! I remember some boy groups that do this commercial." Hyun-Jung said before they all entered the dressing room after the staff opened the door for them.
"Put your bags there." Their manager said and the members followed the order before sitting down on the couch. After their manager left M41 inside the dressing room, the boys started talking.
"What should we do for this shooting?" Minsu asked as he looked at the other members.
"I wanna do like a wink or something to the camera," Ji-Hun said as he smiled.
"Yeah... Typical Ji-Hun.." Hyun-Jung commented.
"I know we'll do a little bit of our dance to the set. Usually the chorus part." Iseul said, informing the members about it.
"Oh, we have to do solo shots too of drinking the soda! I remember that one boy group did that" Hyun-Jung said.
"Ji-Hun, you can wink at the camera now. Isn't that what you want?" Minsu said as he looked at Ji-Hun.
"I'll wink at you instead. Isn't that what you want?" Ji-Hun teased before the members chuckled.
After a few minutes of laughing and sharing information about the commercial, the staff that was assigned to prepare the members knocked on the door before they entered the room. The members stood up and bowed to the staff. They greeted the staff and the staff did so too.
"Let's start working!" One staff said as the other staff started working, calling the members' names as a sign to come closer to them. It was like an hour after they were fully prepared from head to toe before the staff escorted them outside the dressing room and to the set.
"Looking good, M41!" The Director said to the mic. The members chuckled at the compliment, but they liked it.
"Let's start dancing to the chorus part of your debut song. Got to your positions now..." The Director said as the members quickly got in their formation. They pretty much did what the Director told them to do. Like after they finished dancing to their song on the set, they did a little solo shot of them as they drink the soda, and also a group shot of it. They were quite bloated from all the sodas they drank. After the schedule, they went back to their dressing room to grab their things and change their clothes. they went back to their dorm after that.
June 29, Wednesday / After Schedule / Dorm
"I can't wait to see our commercial every day on TV!" Hyun-Jung said as he was finished doing the dishes. Iseul walked out of their bedroom as he joined the other members on the couch.
"What else can we do for today? We don't have a schedule tomorrow, so what if we sleep late?" Iseul said as he thought of the idea he had.
"Sleeping late? That's an unusual thing Iseul would say, but I'm into it." Ji-Hun said.
"Oh, let me do live on my Instagram account," Minsu said before pulling out his phone from his pocket and prepared his phone for the live. The members prepared themselves because they knew they will be part of it. After they were all set, Minsu started the live. the viewers' count went up quickly.

"Fandom name?" Iseul said before he looked at all the members.
"I was thinking like... Planet M? or Planet41. I don't know..." Hyun-Jung said as he gave suggestions about the fandom name. The Planet41 came from a fan letter.
"How about we make a poll on... Twitter? What should be our fandom name? Planet41? PlanetM? or do they have suggestions?" Ji-Hun said as he looked at the live chat once again.
"I'll tell that to our manager tomorrow..." Iseul said. After talking about what their fandom name is, they started talking about how were things during their preparations for their debut. They ranted a few things about how hard but still, they talked about how it was exciting and that they were happy about it despite how hard it is.
June 30, Thursday / NO SCHEDULE / Dorm
"So, Do ya'll have plans for today?" Iseul said, looking at the other members who seems to be bored. Hyun-Jung just came out of the bathroom after using it.
"Hmm... Maybe I'll go out for a walk. Maybe go shopping or something." Minsu said as he scratched his head. He seems to not know what else he can do too.
"I'll go for a walk too," Ji-Hun said as he looked at Minsu.
"Maybe I'll stay here and take a rest. I already knew I need this rest day." Hyun-Jung said, taking the advantage of them not having any schedule.
"Y'all got good plans. Well, I'm just gonna play games as usual." Iseul said as he went straight to the bedroom.
After a few hours, Minsu and Ji-Hun got ready since they are going outside, to take a walk. They already asked their manager for confirmation if they can, and their manager let them go.
Once Ji-Hun and Minsu went outside the dorm, it was only Hyun-Jung and Iseul inside.
"So, you plan to sleep?" Iseul said after sitting beside Hyun-Jung on the couch.
"Yeah. do you have any plans?" Hyun-Jung asked.
"I do have one," Iseul said before going to their kitchen quickly and grabbing a bottle of beer that he sneaked out.
"H-how did you get that hidden? Didn't our manager inspect our dorm a day before?" Hyun-Jung asked, out of curiosity.
"I kept this inside our bathroom, behind the toiletries. luckily, our manager didn't check our drawer that time." Ji-Hun said as he placed the bottle on the coffee table and opened it.
"Sorry if I just hid 1 bottle. I don't want our manager to see it. I was planning to hide 4 b-"
"No, really, It's fine! 1 is so enough, especially if we have to sneak it out like this." Hyun-Jung said, cutting off Iseul's sentence. First, Iseul drank a few of the soju before Hyun-Jung. they both got the bottle to half already.
"We have to save some for later," Iseul said as they both chuckled.
"Yeah, I guess we have to. We have no choice anyway." Hyun-Jung responded
"I felt so sad that time when our group almost ended. I mean, all the hard work that we put on to this group?" Iseul said, venting his feelings about the group to Hyun-Jung
"I know what you feel that time. And honestly, I felt the same." Hyun-Jung responded.
After a few hours of chatting, they finished that 1 bottle of soju they sneaked out. The two were having fun, asking questions about themselves.
"It's my turn now, isn't it?" Hyun-Jung said, confirming to Iseul if it was his turn.
"I think it's my turn. You asked me about my high school crush, remember?" Iseul answered.
"Oh yeah! sorry, I just feel so dizzy right now..." Hyun-Jung said as he chuckled.
"Let's have this last question and we can take a rest now," Iseul said as he check the time. It was already 5:30 PM.
"If you would date one of us, who would it be and why?" Iseul asked as he was hoping it would be him. He doesn't know why he felt like this.
"I would pick..."
July 1, Friday / Before Schedule / Van
Their Van was still driving towards their schedule of the day. Minsu was taking a nap at the back while Ji-Hun was looking through his phone. Hyun-Jung and Iseul were awkwardly sitting in their seats as they felt so dizzy. Hangover.
July 1, Friday / Music Bank Rehearsal + Performance/ KBS New Wing Open Hall
"So, this is our last Live Performance, huh?" Ji-Hun said as he looked at the other members. They stopped in front of the building since there were paparazzi who were taking pictures of them.
"Yeah, Let's do our full 110% to this performance then!" Iseul said as he smiled at the camera.
"Only 110%? Let's take it up to 200%!" Hyun-Jung said as he chuckled. The members chuckled as well as they pose for the paparazzi.
After their third rehearsal, they went back to their dressing room. They already knew that there will be an audience since it wasn't as strict as before.
"Are you nervous?" Hyun-Jung said to Iseul as he smiled at the male.
"No. How about you?" Iseul asked Hyun-Jung.
"Kinda," Hyun-Jung answered.
"Do you remember anything yesterday?" Iseul said to Hyun-Jung, referring to the one where they drank soju and how they share stories which each other.
"Yesterday... I quite don't remember. After we finished that bottle, I can't remember anything now.." Hyun-Jung answered.
After a few hours of waiting for their turn, The M41 finally went backstage since it was their turn next. After the other group before them went backstage after performing, they quickly went to the stage, nervously, and even shaking after seeing their fans shouting their group name. Once their song played, they were finally gonna hear the fanchant for the second time.
"CHOI ISEUL, KANG HYUN-JUNG, JUNG JI-HUN, YOO MINSU, M41!" Their fans shouted as long as the intro of their song started. The members were happy, smiling from hearing their fans shouting their names and cheering them on every line they had. They were happily performing, dancing to their song, and even doing adlibs for fun. After they performed, they waved to the camera as a sign that this is their last Live show for this song. Fans were intensely shouting, cheering for M41. The members bowed as they thanked their fans.
"Please eat after this!" Iseul shouted since his mic was off. The fans heard it.
After their performance, they went back to their dressing room, smiling at the staff as they gave M41 a round of applause since it will be their last live show. The staff and the members were happy with how it all turned out. after all the twists and turns, it always turned out so well in the end.
