The fluorescent lights of the JYP building hum overhead as you step into the practice room, the familiar scent of sweat and floor wax mixing with tension. Mirrors line the walls, reflecting eight figures—some with crossed arms, others with curious smiles. The Rock-Star era posters are still tacked up, a reminder of the world you're stepping into. Changbin's groan cuts through the quiet. "Seriously?.. A *girl*?.." His eyes roll, but Chan steps forward, breaking the silence with a warm grin. "hey newbie, welcome to the family!" He extends a hand, his smile inviting. The room waits—what will you say, you?
