July 5, Monday / Run Around The Planet41 Shooting / The Lounge Bowling Center
Once they arrived, they hopped out of the car, seeing not only the place but a few of the cameraman and staff with 1 staff holding a cake. They were confused by what's the occasion.
"HAPPY 1 MONTH, M41!" The staff greeted the members. They were in complete shock. They lost track of dates and they didn't know it was already 1 month since the debut of their group.
"Thank you, guys! This is great!" Iseul said before they went closer to the staff and looked at the cake they brought. There, it was written "1 Month with M41 <3" and the members are smiling at it. They took photos with it before going outside of the lounge.
They already got reservations for it. The members just followed their manager to where they should go. Their manager pointed to where they should stand while the staff are setting up. Once it was all finished, they started filming once again.
"So, our challenge for today is Bowling!" Their Manager said as he looked at the members who seems to be worried as they shared a look.
"Does anyone knows how to play Bowling?" Iseul said as he looked at the members.
"I have no idea about how bowling works," Minsu said as he chuckled, worried their team might lose this challenge.
"I do know how it works. But I haven't gotten the chance to play." Hyun-Jung said.
"Oh please, give us your knowledge, Mr. Kang," Ji-Hun said as he looked at Hyun-Jung.
"So it has 10 frames, each team got 2 chances to knock out the 10 pins. You can get additional scores if you get Strike and Spares." Hyun-Jung said, explaining the game to the members.
"What are Strike and Spares?" Minsu said, looking at Hyun-Jung and he was confused as heck.
"Strike is when you knock out all the pins in your first chance. Spare is where you knock out all the pins with all the chances you have." Hyun-Jung said, explaining the game.
"Wish us luck," Iseul said before looking at the bowling alley.
"Same teams, Van Team and Commute Team." Their manager said, sticking to the teams they made yesterday.
"Who's team will go first?" Iseul asked.
"Rock Paper Scissors?" Ji-Hun said, challenging Iseul. Once they played the game, Ji-Hun placed a rock while Iseul placed Scissors, letting Ji-Hun win.
"I'll let you guys play first," Ji-Hun said before Minsu came to him and gave him a high five.
"Great choice," Minsu said before they both sat down at the chair, observing how they played the game.
On Iseul's first try, the bowling ball already went to the side.
"I don't know how to do this!" Iseul said as he nervously laughed. Once it was Hyun-Jung 's turn, he knocked out 3 pins, getting the points.
"3 points for Commute Team!" Ji-Hun said as he applaud how Hyun-Jung did it. Once it was Van Team's turn, they were nervous as heck. They don't know how to play this game.
It was Minsu's turn, once he roll the bowling ball, it almost got to the side but still knocked out 1 pin.
"1 POINT FOR US!" Minsu said as he jumped in happiness. Ji-Hun chuckled at how the male was acting.
"We need 2 more points, and I don't know if I can get at least 1 point," Ji-Hun said before getting himself into the position. Once he rolled the bowling ball, it went quite straight, going to the right, before knocking out 3 pins.
"Oh, 3 Points!!" Ji-Hun said as he smiled before Minsu gave him a High five.
It was already half an hour and it was a close battle. Van Team had 33 points, and the commute team had 35 points. It was Van Team's turn, Minsu's turn specifically and he was the last member to play the game. Minsu got the worst score every turn. He always scores 0 or if he gets lucky, he'll get 1 pin down. The game was tense as he rolled the bowling ball to the alley.
"Please don't go to the side..." Minsu said as he was looking at the bowling ball, rolling exactly to where he does not want it to be. It rolled to the side, making The Commute Team the winner of the challenge. Hyun-Jung and Iseul jumped for joy before looking at their manager who seem to be telling them what their price is.
"The Commute Team have the advantage to choose what food they eat and the other team will eat." Their manager said and the commute team couldn't get any happier.
Both teams got the food they wanted thanks to Commute Team's kindness. They let Van Team say what they wanted to order since Iseul thought it would make the other team not happy.
After eating, they also tried playing 8-ball pool. Iseul was the only one who knows how to play the game so he thought the other members how to play as well. They went back to the house after the exhausting challenges they did at the lounge.
July 5, Tuesday / Run Around The Planet41 Shooting / Sejong Country House
"Did we forget something to buy?" Minsu said as he was still double-checking the things they bought at the convenience store earlier in his mind.
"Minsu, it's your fifth time you said if we forgot something," Iseul said as he was laughing.
"Just to make sure, you know?" Minsu said and once the plastic bag was placed on the counter by Ji-Hun, Minsu checked every single item. They planned to eat dinner outside the house. It was not their plan though. Their manager wanted them to do it for the show. While Hyun-Jung was holding the camera, he was filming how the members started working on the food they need. Iseul was already boiling stuff, Ji-Hun was chopping the vegetables, and Minsu was cleaning the meat.
It was almost an hour and they were already outside the house, placing the foods they bought on the tiny folding table Hyun-Jung set. Hyun-Jung set the folding chairs for the members as well since all he does earlier was to film the members.
"Finally, some rest time for us!" Ji-Hun said before sitting on the chair. He sighed as a relief. The staff and cameraman were already in front of them when they came.
"Who's going to cook all the meat?" Minsu said as he looked at the members.
"I'll do it," Iseul said, volunteering before he went to the outdoor stove to start cooking the meat. The other members sat on their chairs, eating the other food that was already cooked.
"This is the most relaxing thing I've done. Could you just imagine if we do this with our fans?" Ji-Hun said as he smiled.
"That would be great. I wish we can do that. Like we can get to talk to us how their days went or how was their life." Iseul said, thinking about the same idea.
"If we got the chance to talk to our fans, I'll ask them what made them like us," Minsu said.
"I also wanted to ask them that question! I was so curious. We even don't have special things that other groups have." Hyun-Jung expressed. After some of the meat was cooked by Iseul, he let the members take some of it and after they took some for them, Iseul placed some meat on another bowl and gave it to the staff.
"Please accept this for your hard work!" Iseul said as he grabbed a chopstick and grabbed a piece of meat for all of the staff to eat. Some staff didn't want it but the other members at the back of Iseul were shouting, wanting the staff to take it.
"EAT IT! PLEASE TAKE IT!" Hyun-Jung shouted.
"WE LOVE YOU, PLEASE TAKE IT NOW!" Ji-Hun shouted while chuckling.
After feeding the staff and themselves, they told wonderful stories about how M41 was made and even their own lives. They were happy telling all the stories as they knew that this day will be the last day of their vacation. They went back to the house and went to their bedroom after helping the staff with the things that need to be unset.

"Wake up, Ji-Hun," Iseul said, gently patting Ji-Hun's shoulder as he was waking the male up. Hyun-Jung did the same to Minsu.
"Huh?" Minsu said as he was wakened up by Hyun-Jung.
"Our manager said we have to pack our things up. We'll be going back to our dorm." Hyun-Jung explained calmly about the situation.
"Why is that?" Ji-Hun asked as he was confused about it. How come they have to leave now?
"I guess our vacation ends here? We don't know when this ends so I guess it's now?" Iseul said before he stood up. After a few minutes, they started preparing and packing their stuff up. After a few hours, they were ready so they hopped in the van as their manager told them.

After they went back to their dorm to take a rest for a bit, their manager gave them a ride towards the company building for an emergency meeting.

"We have to give you a training period before we start your comeback. The Training includes Vocal, Dance, Acting, and also English Lessons" The Assistant of the CEO said.
"We already gave the schedules to your manager, so please follow it strictly." The Assistant of the CEO, Jun-so added.
"Why did you end our vacation early?" Ji-Hun asked, taking the courage to speak up about what happened earlier.
"I planned to not tell you when the vacation starts and when it ends. Since we have a training schedule tomorrow, I already ended the vacation." Their manager said, explaining why their vacation ended like that. After the meeting, they went back to their dorm as they take a rest for tomorrow's training schedule.

"Bring extra clothes just in case we'll be dancing today," Iseul said while checking up on members.

"Let's take a lunch break, M41!" Their Vocal Coach said after making the members repeat the routine she taught the members.
"This training was hard. Even Hyun-Jung finds it hard as well." Minsu said, trying to speak softly as he can feel his throat aching.
"I might lose my voice for this training.." Hyun-Jung said before the members sat on the floor. Their manager gave them.
"Back to sweet potatoes, baby!" Ji-Hun said before eating the sweet potatoes their manager gave. They were eating it quietly as they were very hungry from their training. After the lunch break, they went to the training again.

"Water Jug, please," Hyun-Jung said, with still a soft raspy voice.
"S-sure.." Minsu said before giving him the jug. Hyun-Jung drank the water before giving it back to Minsu.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Minsu said as he looked at Hyun-Jung. But Hyun-Jung responded with an ok sign instead of saying he was okay.
July 8, Friday / Training / Luminous Music Dance Practice Area
"Don't bump into each other!" Their dance coach said, watching M41 Dancing in front of him. The boys were doing great, but not to their coach.
"Stop." Their coach said before stopping the music.
"What was that move, Minsu? Make that part stiff! You're making the routine more shitty than ever!" Their dance coach said before he commands the members to go from the top. They haven't eaten lunch yet and it was 3 PM.
After their dance coach had a break, the members quickly grabbed their water jugs to drink some water. The members doesn't dare to have a little chitchat from how tired they were. They stared at nothingness as they were eating the sweet potatoes their manager gave them. Their manager was so strict as well today. He went up to their dorms to check their refrigerator to see if other foods might ruin their diet. He throws away a lot of stuff in their kitchen. Luckily, the members hid some behind their closet.
They had to do gym training after their dance training. The members are tired after their Dance training but they still have to do it despite they have to strictly follow the schedule. They went to their dorm after all of their training. at exactly 2:00 AM. And they have to wake up at 4 AM.

"Candy?" Minsu said as he looked at Ji-Hun.
"Yeah. For energy." Ji-Hun answered softly.
"Thanks..." Minsu said before eating the candy immediately. Ji-Hun also gave the other members once they were in the van. He had to pass it secretly though. Their manager didn't know they have candies.
July 9, Saturday / Training / Luminous Music Dance Practice Area
"Is that all you got, Ji-Hun?" Their dance coach said as the members were doing the routing he taught in front of him. The members are tired from everything but they still put their effort to make this finish.
"What if you don't shout at us?" Ji-Hun said while doing the routing.
"Excuse me?" Their dance coach said, looking at Ji-Hun.
"Don't you ever put an attitude to me? Do 50 Push-ups, Now!" Their dance coach said, Commanding the members to do what he asked. He stopped the music before the members did what their dance coach wanted.
After the punishment, they went back to doing their routine. They ate their lunch as late as usual.
"You should've raised your voice on him," Minsu said softly to Minsu. His eyes were about to close for a second but still tried to wake himself up.
