"Hyung!" a voice called from one end of the locked door.

"Huh!" Minho replied from behind his toothbrush, smoothing his plain t-shirt again. When he moved his shoulders to spit, he could feel the fabric around his chest tighten. He finished rinsing his mouth before pausing in the mirror; had his shirts always fit that tight?

"Did you already eat?" Changbin continued, referencing the eggs that had been left on their dorm counter. It wasn't unusual for Minho to awake early and halfway make breakfast for everyone, something like boiled eggs where the members could still choose what to pair it with themselves.

"Not yet," Minho lowered his voice, taking that as his cue to join him. He finished wiping his mouth and walked into the shared kitchen of their lively crowd. At least, as lively as they could be at four in the morning for a fitting and practice.

He took his seat next to Han, glancing around the rest of the table as most of the members either ate or tried to keep themselves awake. He noticed that they were missing their eldest member, as the fact that no one else was ready, seeing as they didn't have to leave for another half hour.

"What's this fitting even for?" I.N. mumbled sleepily as he took a seat at the end of the table. To his left was Changbin, then Han and Minho. To his right was an empty seat, followed by Hyunjin, Felix, and Seungmin at the other end. His question was drowned out amongst their chatter, but his attention was quickly redirected as Bang Chan entered the room.

"Guys, JYP has this new sort of system. It's like a weekly report of sorts," Chan explained as he approached the table, passing out single sheets of paper, "It's got feedback or requests from our coaches, stylists, management— one for each of us. Take a look at it before we get there, yeah?"

Minho hummed his acknowledgment alongside everyone else, taking the paper as he realized that Bang Chan had also already gotten dressed. He wore a casual outfit similar to his own, sweats and a t-shirt for dance, though Chan had opted for a beanie to cover his wet hair. He wasted no time grabbing two eggs from the bowl.

Minho watched all the members scan through their lists first to gauge their reactions, with the exception of Chan and I.N., where the former was helping the latter begin peeling his egg.

"Oi—what is this? A sheet of hate?" Han joked as he scanned his, making Seungmin, Hyunjin, and Felix all start laughing.

Minho glanced down at his own.

"Look, Look—," Felix chuckled as he forced the two seated beside him to read part of his, "'Try focusing more in practices' they said."

"Wha— Look at mine!" Seungmin pointed at his own, outraged, "It says 'stop being a bad influence'...to who?"

Hyunjin threw his head back in laughter as he clapped, Felix not too far behind.

"Who?" Seungmin demanded, and Minho couldn't help but laugh a bit too.

"I.N." he answered as though it were obvious instead of ridiculous, triggering more laughter from around the table.

"Me? You're worse!" Seungmin defended himself.

"Hey! Hey, this is serious," Chan laughed as he calmed their argument, feigning sternness, "Be like Hannie and Binnie— actually learn something."

Minho rolled his eyes but turned to read the paper anyway, scoffing at some of them.

- Be nicer on camera

JYP undoubtedly wrote that after Lee Know's "step forward" stunt in their interview with him.

- Take the gym and nutrition more seriously
