Choreographer: "1 and 2 and 3 and... No, no, no! Rap Monster and Supreme Boi, we've gone over this same step over and over. It's--"
Supreme Boi: "pointless!"
Choreographer: "excuse me?"
Supreme Boi: "we're a rap crew, and we have a dancer... If there needs to be any dancin' he can do it. I don't understand why I have to learn how to twirl, dip, and tango to rap!"
Rap Monster: "Donghyuk..."
Supreme Boi: "no Namjoon, this is ridiculous. Did we become an idol group and I didn't get the memo?"
Choreographer: "this has nothing to do with being an idol, it's to enhance your performance Donghyuk and--"
Supreme Boi: "my friends get to call me Donghyuk... I'm Supreme Boi to you... A rapper... A rapper who doesn't dance!"
Choreographer: "okay... We're going to take five... Maybe you'll be cooled off after a break."
All but Supreme Boi bow to their choreographer several times before he finally steps out of the room. J-Hope, Kidoh and Suga sit there silently as Rapmon reaches for a bottle of water. Supreme Boi just watches as he becomes seated on the ground and drinks from the bottle. He turns away from Rapmon and kicks at a small garbage bin beside him, sending it flying across the room.
J-Hope: "wooooaahhh!!"
Suga: "yah!"
Kidoh: "hey man! What's wrong with you?!"
Supreme Boi: "what's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?! I'm tired of this bull ! I'm tired of feeling like people are trying to turn me into something I'm not."
Rap Monster: "it's not like that Donghyuk..."
Supreme Boi: "then what is it like Namjoon? Huh? And he doesn't have to talk down to us like we're kids... This whole situation is just... Grrrr!!!"
Supreme Boi grabs at the bottom of his shirt and raises it, he dabs it across his face, using it to soak up the sweat he's built up. Rapmon extends his hand out toward him, shaking his bottle of water in his direction. While motioning toward him he snatches it out of his hand before drinking from it and exhaling deeply.
Rap Monster: "it's alright man, I got scolded too. You don't need to feel embarrassed."
Supreme Boi: "what makes you think that I'm embarrassed? I'm not a dancer, I'm not an idol. I'm a rapper and a producer, I don't need to learn flashy moves to rap! I don't see Hunchul learning any of this , I don't even see him here!"
Kidoh: "Hunchul, dance?! Ha!"
Suga: "he doesn't even step foot inside here when the choreographer is here."
J-Hope: "I don't even think they've met."
Supreme Boi: "so why the hell do I have to be here?"
Rap Monster: "Donghyuk... I'm not a dancer either, I don't get the use for it, but if we want to make it in this scene we need to know a little somethin'."
Supreme Boi: "what scene? You sound like you've been brainwashed by all this company talk."
Rap Monster: "c'mon man, you know me better than that."
Supreme Boi: "do I? You don't sound anything like the Namjoon I auditioned with. You're... You're definitely 'Rap Monster' now."
Kidoh: "cut the Donghyuk. Namjoon and I are rappers just like you... We aren't dancers, but at least we're trying."
Supreme Boi: "you've been here for what, a month or two and already you forgot who you were... Makes me think this is who you two really were all along... Idols pretending to be rappers..."
The door to the practice room opens, and the choreographer steps back in. Upon feeling the tension he remains quiet, as all the members aside from Supreme Boi begin line up in front of him. The choreographer turns his attention to Supreme Boi and raises his brows.
Choreographer: "if you're not going to join the rest of us and learn the routine I suggest that you go."
Supreme Boi: "pssssh! this..."
Supreme Boi storms off, stomping his feet all the way till he reaches the door. Held open and waiting in the doorway he looks back at Rapmon and shrugs lightly while shaking his head.
Supreme Boi: "Namjoon, Hyosang... Let's go man, we don't need this."
Choreographer: "Well... Rap Monster and Kidoh are you going or are you staying? We do have some rehearsing to do."
Kidoh: "I'm staying."
Choreographer: "Rap Monster?"
Rap Monster: "I uh..."
Supreme Boi: "Namjoon?"
Rap Monster: "I'm uh... I'm gonna' stay too man."
Supreme Boi: "I never thought I'd see the day when I'd consider you guys as sell outs..."
Choreographer: "Supreme Boi, you don't have to go, you are welcome to stay."
Supreme Boi: "pffft, yeah... Right."
He slams the door shut behind him and groans from behind clenched teeth while making his way down the hall. As he is about the reach the elevator, the bass from a familiar beat catches his attention. Motioning back slightly he stops just outside one of the recording rooms and bobs his head to the sound of the song playing inside. He peeks inside the room and smirks before finally stepping in completely.
Supreme Boi: "so this is where you hide out when the rest of us are in there pretending to be 'Shinee'."
Iron: "...heh... Yeah... You won't be catching me in there."
Supreme Boi: "I wish everyone else felt that way."
Iron: "who are we talking bout now?"
Supreme Boi: "Nam-- I mean 'Rap Monster' and 'Kidoh'. They're sell outs man..."
Iron: "what makes them sell outs?"
Supreme Boi: "they're in there learning how to perform dance moves on stage like a typical idol. Like... They don't see things changing."
Iron: "maybe they don't."
Supreme Boi: "and maybe they do."
Iron: "and maybe... They do. So what? Why does it bother you so much?"
Supreme Boi: "me? Doesn't it bother you too? That people cut from the same cloth as us can all of a sudden change into--"
Iron: "it's called growing up, we all have to do it sometime. You guys started this as kids, without a real sense of what it's like to survive in a world meant for adults... You either adapt or you get left behind."
Supreme Boi: "are you trying to say I'm being childish?"
Iron: "no. What I'm saying is that we don't all have to think or feel the same to want the same goal... Different people take different roads."
Supreme Boi: "heh... Who knew you were so wise Hunchul..."
Iron: "I guess Namjoon is rubbing off on me."
Supreme Boi: "so are you going to catch dance fever too?"
Iron: "that's a negative, Namjoon and Hyosang might see things one way, but I see them exactly the same way you do."
Supreme Boi: "so what the hell are you going to do when we debut?"
Iron: "we're never going to debut man... This is all a dream. I got suspicious when he added you... But then you're one of us so I thought our CEO knew what he was doing. But once he added the other two I knew that he wanted an idol group, he is just using us to teach them what we know... You, Namjoon, Hyosang and I... We're only here till we get replaced by people who learn how to be cool by hanging around us."
Supreme Boi: "man... I never thought about it that way. So why are we still here? Shouldn't we be warning Namjoon and Hyo--?"
Iron: "Hyosang will eventually come to his senses, and Namjoon... He's smart, but he is a dreamer. He is just trying to hang on to this dream for as long as possible, he thinks that there is an actual chance that this might be real."
Supreme Boi: "and if it is?"
Iron: "then I'll do what I do best, Rap. You guys can just dance around me."
Supreme Boi: "great."
Iron: "Hunchul and his boys... Nice ring to it don't you think? Makes it sound like a true tribute to Hip hop, ha."
Supreme Boi: "yeah, nice for you..."
Iron: "I'm just messin' with you. I'm just here to record as much as possible on their dime. I know that my time is limited too, especially with the way I've been ditching choreo and all."
Supreme Boi: "I'm not cut out for this."
Iron: "then leave."
Supreme Boi: "just like that?"
Iron: "you're not happy here... You're not even taking advantage of the opportunities here... leave. By you staying you're just delaying the debut for the others and holding onto to a spot that our brilliant CEO could easily fill with another Idol... I mean, 'Rapper'."
Supreme Boi: "and you wouldn't care if you lost another member?"
Iron: "we're still DaeNamHyup at the end of the day... If you're expecting me to cry 'Bangtan' tears--"
Supreme Boi: "you're cold man, ice cold."
Iron: "oh boy, If it's any consolation, It'd to lose you as a fellow rapper and producer for this crew. But do I think that this crew will remain a crew and not just another idol boy band? Nah..."
Supreme Boi: "so this is all that's keeping you here, eh? The free studio time."
Iron: "yep."
Supreme Boi: "how do you do it?"
Iron: "do what?"
Supreme Boi: "act like all of this doesn't mean more to you. Like if music is the only thing keeping you here."
Iron: "I don't know why you think this is all an act. Music was the only reason I joined, so why wouldn't it be the only reason that I stay?"
Supreme Boi: "hmm, I know deep down in there, there's a heart... Somewhere."
Iron turns away from the soundboard and laughs lightly. The swivel chair of which he is seated upon squeaks as he turns it to face Supreme Boi.
Iron: "listen... And listen closely because I'm going to deny ever saying this... But if it were up to me the group would stay as is. No one would leave, not even you. I didn't have an easy up bringing, so you guys have all become sorta like my little brothers. But you already so
