The next morning me and Jay were leading practice.  Jay was showing the moves while I walked around and helped everyone.  That was the whole day until night time. 

Even I was tired, "Jay shouldn't we let them rest?" I asked.

Jay glanced at the group while we watched the tablet, "We have to focus. If the I-landers don't do well enough we have to perform.  We're going up against I-Land at this point, and we only have five days."

I sighed, "You make a fair point but I think it's time for dinner."

Jay hesitated, "I am hungry."

I smiled, "Good." I turned to the tired group of boys, "Okay we can stop for dinner.  Then we go back to practice."

When we got to the eating room there were already lunch boxes for the each of us, "I think we should finish what we can today and to rest up afterwards." Daniel suggested. 

I nodded, "We're on a time crunch. We need to reduce our sleep."

"Our physical condition is important too." Sungchul pointed out, "A person has to be in good condition to feel less tired doing anything. 

"That's true, but I don't think we can finish everything by today.  Even with what we did today, we've only come this far." Jimin added.

Niki, Youngbin, Jake, Jay, and I were sitting at the table while everyone was in the practice room, "I don't understand how even the highly skilled people from I-Land work really hard, by the Grounders dont seem to be practicing that much."

"In their defense they really have nothing to lose.  There's the chance we won't even get to perform and stay here.  For those four, they've been in the Ground the whole time.  It's their mindset." I explained. 

"Even though we worked so hard, the seven of us got disqualified." Jake said, "I don't get it at all."

During practice I was watching everyone dance with Niki. During one part Jimin wasn't going fast enough on the beat.  Niki tried tutoring him but it seemed repetitive, "he can't do it right now because he's not feeling well." Sungchul told Niki, "I think he'll be able to do it tomorrow."

It was true, Jimin had a mask on and wasn't feeling well.  But we had barely any time for anything other than practicing

"That wont work." Niki said blatantly.

I glared at Niki, "Wait- everyone pause." I turned to Niki, "We can't practice tomorrow if they're all dropping dead.  Jimin isn't feeling well, we can go over his part tomorrow."

Niki shook his head, "Earlier, we agreed that we need to focus."

"There's a difference between not focusing and not feeling well.  You need to know that." I said sternly, "None of us had proper rest yet.  Their bodies can only take so much."

Jimin stepped up, "I know that right here I need to go bigger."

"You did it earlier." Niki said.

"Im doing- im doing it the same way.  Can you show me the difference?" Jimin asked.

"I told you already." Niki huffed, "You're not focusing."
