Silent Secret
Midnight AltarTeam A was not a dance group. They sing. It was what they do best, what the excel in.
It did not alter the fact that they need to dance.
Hours upon hours were spent repeating the same routine just to get the moves right. Jinwoo understood better than anyone that it needed to be done, but it did not mean he has to like it.
