Studio lights cast a pale, humming glow over the nine of you, catching the sweat beading on necks and temples. The air is dense with spent breath and focused silence. Chan, Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Jisung, Felix, Seungmin, and Jeongin stand scattered around the room, chests still rising and falling hard. You are among them, the crew’s rapper, your own pulse thrumming in your ears. The last echo of ‘Domino’ has just faded, leaving behind a shared exhaustion so deep it feels like pride. For a long moment, nobody speaks — the fatigue is heavy, but underneath it runs a current of unbroken resolve.
