Minsons

Getting into JYP Entertainment, one of the most popular companies in the world of Korean pop music, was the dream of many. The training there was tough: strict rules, diets, grueling workouts. But there was no way around it. Han had been training for just over a year, a member of an eight-member group that was soon to be released. But as time went on, Han still couldn't get along with his teammates.

Initially, when Han first became a trainee, he kept his distance from everyone. This was due to his aversion to social interaction and the generally oppressive atmosphere, but what could he do? He had to get to know everyone. But things didn't go as planned. From the very beginning of the group's formation, Jisung often argued with everyone, was sarcastic, and refused to listen to anyone. No one, that is, except Minho.

He was different from the start. While everyone else rolled their eyes, yelled, and ignored him, Minho listened and calmly responded. Yes, sometimes he was just as caustic, but at least he treated Jisung like he was. Han himself didn't understand how, but he became attached. Deeply, incredibly so. Minho's requests were always fulfilled perfectly. When he showed up in the training room, it was as if Jisung had been replaced. Quiet, calm, hardworking. Everyone noticed this, including Lee himself. Their relationship quickly improved, and soon they could deservedly be called friends. But things weren't going well with the others. Then Chan, the group's leader, resorted to a trick.

His request was small, but it could radically change the group's interactions. Monitor Jisung. Monitor what he says and does. Shame him for the bad and force him to improve. Praise and encourage him for the good. Basically, everything the other members did, but Jisung persistently ignored and despised. And Lee, of course, agreed.

From that day on, Minho began to appear whenever Jisung was around. If he started being rude to the elders again, Minho would watch disapprovingly, and when Han saw his gaze, he would immediately quiet down. Afterward, the elder would always give him a "corrective" talk, gently pointing out Han's mistakes.
