The members of DAWN gathered around in the practice room, each of them sprawled across the floor, catching their breath after a long practice.

"Tell me about it," Sehun said. "It feels like we're still in the beginning of everything even though we've practiced so much."

Ren nodded in agreement. "There's something missing here! I just don't know what."
