Dino drop Jisung off at SM company before he left to go to his schedule, and Jisung headed inside the building and to one of the practice rooms to stretch before he starts his dance lesson with the dance teacher. They learn new moves and change up his signature move to one that would be well known to Jisung's new personas, which Kage and the rest of Darkside agree would be Dice. For Harry-June it would be Magic and for Yubin it would be Pyro. Each member was learning new dance moves they each have different dance genres and experiences. Afterward, they had singing lessons with Harry-June, Yubin, and Jisung changing up their singing voices and expanding their vocal ranges. The trio then started changing up their rapping style as well, which for all three, is going to be a bit challenging because of changing their usual style but they knew it was to not be recognized.
After the lessons, they begin changing their writing style, slowly and their speaking voice as well. After taking some breaks, they and the rest of Darkside head into the vans to head to BM's studio for Dino's solo album plan. The talk was a lot with Dino recording a bunch songs, one of which Jisung was featured in. Afterward, Darkside started recording their songs, starting with the first three; Ready Set Go, Let's Roll, and Secret. The first one, Ready Set Go is more EDM style, Let's roll is more rock, and Secret is a mix of electric and hip hop. Once finish they head back to their dorm to have dinner and go to bed. The process starts again with Jisung changing up his workout routine and finishing the rest of the songs for the album which the next three are Restart, Realization, and Anonymous. Then Honest Truth, False, and Mature is the third round of recording with the fourth being: Neutral Side, Knock Out, and Behind the Scene. The last three songs to be recorded with all of the lessons and workouts are: Pushed Away, New Change, and I Hope. With all the songs finished, it was great timing because the time to figure out the choreography was starting. And while they are happy with the songs being produced and all that, Darkside is a bit unsure about it mostly in the composing and producing part. So Jisung called Dino up for help and after the conversation, the group headed over to Hybe building.
Darkside met up with Dino and he leads them into the Hybe building. The group talks about their days and how excited they are about the debut. While also expressing their concerns about the composing and producing part of the songs and needing some feedback. Dino nodded and explain that they will head over to Woozi for some help as he is a producer and might help with giving feedback. They reach a door that is sheer and Dino knocks on it. They heard some shuffling and the door opens, revealing Woozi who greets the group and lets them in. Woozi closes and door and asks them why they are here and DIno explains about the group needs someone who is very experienced with producing advice on the songs they have produced and need feedback on it. Woozi nodded and led them to the seats they all sat down, except for Dino. Woozi notices this and beckons Dino to come over, thinking Woozi needs to tell him something. Woozi then pulls Dino into a seat next to him, surprising Dino and the rest. Dino handed him 2 USBs that are for Darkside and Woozi puts one in and play it. Darkside did not recognize their song, realizing it was Dino's, and froze, while Dino's eyes widen, and stopped the music. Woozi looked at Dino with a confused face and Dino shook his head and apologize as he grabbed the 3rd USB and handed it over to Woozi. Woozi took the USB, but he set it down, turned to face him, and asked, "Dino-yah, why did you freak out?" Dino shook his head, letting Woozi know that it was nothing, but Woozi wouldn't let go. Woozi pull Dino's chair closer and pull him into a hug and said, " dongsaeng-ah, please tell hyung what is it, I won't get mad. Hyung is curious." Dino sighed and said, " it's for a video my friend is making" Woozi nodded, not noticing Darkside smirking and Dino shushed them and winked. Then Woozi took out the 2nd USB and gave it to Dino. Everyone is now ready to hear Darkside's album. Woozi put the first USB in and listen to 7 songs. As he listen to it, he took notes in his notebook. Then he plugs the next USB and listens to the last 8 songs, Woozi is surprised by the total number of songs but impressed by many factors. After finishing writing down the feedback before he took out the USB and handed it back to Dino who then handed it over to Yeong-Ho. Woozi turn his chair around to face Darkside and said, " I would like to say, first of all, 15 in a first full album is a first as the debut album. Another thing is that each song is great, from the composing and producing you did. I do think that the lyric writing could do a bit more work and I can give you more suggestions and feedback on it. I suggest that you can get some help from some seniors like Dino, Ravn, Soyeon, CL, and many others. My one biggest question is that I am just wondering is which song are you using as a title track?" Darkside looked at each other and Jisung said, " we have yet to discuss that, but it is going to be either Ready, Set, Go or Secret. I think Let's Roll is another contender as a title track, but we will discuss it later." Woozi nodded and said, " I heard you all are doing a lot before debut, but with this going on and us keeping Jisung's identity a secret, I do think we will be helping too. So Park Jisung or should I say, Dice, be prepared for all of us seniors, minus many of the SM artists, to help keep your identity hidden, keep your secret safe, hang out with us, etc. So you will be closer to us than with some of those NCT members." Jisung let out a smile and nodded, before he said, " I am told as well and I am a bit excited and nervous meeting, working with, and hanging out with many seniors. Though I know that there is going to be a bit of rumors and talks. I hope we clear those up and keep things on the low. Also, I know that we have others who have secretive schedules to go through but we can't say who. Just hope we can all finish it before that award show" Everyone nodded not noticing Dino giving a sideway thumbs subtly before he said, " I will have Woozi send me the feedback and stuff and send it over to Jisung. Darkside I hope you guys can do well with the mv filming and other schedules. Like what the others have said, if you need anything, let hyung and noona know." Darkside nodded and said their byes before getting ready to head over to the dorm to rest and get dinner. As they were saying bye to Woozi and Dino, Jisung notice Woozi looking at Dino a bit before he back hug him and held him closer, surprising Dino. Jisung ponders and wonders what was Woozi thinking for him to back hug Dino.
The group headed back to the dorm tired and hungry, so Morris and Yubin decided to make some quick, healthy, but delicious gimbap. Jisung had finished taking a shower and when out to the kitchen to check on the two when he a sound of coughing and went to see who it is. He notices Kage looking tired and drained. Jisung grew concerned and ask carefully, " Kage hyung, are you okay? You are coughing, looking hurt, and a bit pale." Kage look at Jisung and pointed to his throat and Jisung hiss and said, " come with me to the kitchen, I remember having tea, and cough drops. Drink warm fluids and I will make some soup. I will also let Morris and everyone else know, and go easy on yourselves. You don't want to end up like me who ends up overworked, and sick then I ended up not going to my schedule for a few days but feel like a week." Kage nodded and followed Jisung to the kitchen, but almost fell. Thankfully Jisung catches him and gives him a piggyback ride. " You might have overworked yourself hyung. I will let manager hyung know, right now you need to rest, I will ask Moon if he can stay with you tomorrow and maybe the day afterward if you're not feeling any better. Okay?" Kage nodded against Jisung's back as he was carried to the kitchen. Jisung went over to let Morris and Yubin, who are done with the gimbap know that Kage had overworked himself and needed some comfort but nongreasy food. They nodded and decided to ask Moon who had just come to the kitchen for help after explaining, Moon look in the fridge to see what ingredients they have decided to make Shogayu, a hot ginger drink, and samgyetang. Jisung called the Hyeon-U to explain about Kage and ask him to grab a whole chicken, some ginseng, and ginger. After Hyeon-U said that he get them and will talk to the CEO about it, they said their byes. Jisung then texted Yuta about the situation with Kage and sent it to them.
The other members came and Jisung told them about Kage's situation and they started helping him by either texting him, asking him yes and no questions, getting him some tea, or cuddling him. The sounds of the door knocking are heard and Jisung went to open it to see not only Hyeon-U but also Yuta at the door. Hyeon-U explains that Yuta came because of the text about the fellow Japanese and decided to come over to check. After Hyeon-U handed Jisung the bag of groceries and left, he let Yuta into the dorm. Yuta greeted the members before he sat down next to Kage and started speaking to him in Japanese and said "Kage, I heard from Jisung that you have overworked yourself and now you are not feeling well and may have lost your voice." Kage nodded and stops as his head starts spinning at that. Yuta saw this and said, " don't try to do anything that makes you dizzy. I came here to check on you. Though I do have a particular question. What did you think of Jisung? " Kage grab his phone and started typing before he give it to Yuta. It reads, Jisung is shy at first and nice. His leadership skill and role did not come through yet until we got to know each other and the other members. He helps with the grilling meat and would give us advice. When Hua Li was dealing with family trouble, Jisung help him out a bit. He would be the person speaking when they went to see Woozi for stuff related to the debut album. And today he slightly scolded me since I hide the fact I was not feeling well and tells me a bit as to why since he had overworked himself before. I do think he is going to showcase it more later on." Yuta nodded and look over to Jisung, who is busy talking with Harry-June and Aries and thought, Jisung is doing good as a leader, I am more excited to see how else he can showcase it.
Jisung got up and went to his room for a bit then came out with his laptop that he secretly bought with Hyeon-U's help. Yuta's mouth hang a bit open when he saw and then he ask, " yah, Jisung-ah when did you get that laptop? Did you get it recently?" Jisung sheepishly smile and said, " I got it three years ago secretly with the help of Hyeon-U hyung. I wanted to do some producing and composing. I don't know if you remember but I had some important meetings. The truth is that they have meetings and buddy dates with Stray Kids 3Racha line hyungs, CL noona, BM hyung, GOT7 hyungs, Ravn hyung, Leedo hyung, and a couple of other people. They taught me some basic things about it before we do some of the harder parts. I did manage to compose and produce my first song, but I am saving it for a special day. The lyrics I will maybe ask either of them for some tips to get started on that." Yuta looks at Jisung like he just reveal some shocking news and he said, " wow, you kept it from us for all this all, but at least you meet some sunbaenims who help you out. I hope you get to release it soon, I wanted to hear what it sounds like." Jisung nodded as he look up something before he connect it to the TV and they watch a cooking show. Yubin, Morris, and Moon came out with the food, including some kimchi ramyeon that was added. The food was set down and passed around with Kage getting the Shogayu and samgytang, while the rest have some gimbap and kimchi ramyeon. They ate while watching the show, with Yeong-Ho writing down recipes that he thinks are delicious and quick to make. They finish the food before switching over to watching Pokemon that Kage requested. As they are watching the show Jisung started feeling sleepy from the day's schedule. Yuta felt something on his shoulder and look to see Jisung sleeping and he let out a coo. He look at the other members and considers the others looking sleepy and decided to help them get to bed, He ushered all but Jisung to their beds before he look at Jisung and decided to call WinWin and Jeno to come sleep in Darkside's dorm. The two members came down quietly and Yuta open the door and let them in. They followed him to see a sleeping Jisung on the couch and they coo at the adorable sight. WinWin helped carry Jisung as they walk over to where his room would be and set him down on the bed. Then, one by one each of them lay down on the bed and close Jisung as possible. Jeno stared at Jisung with fondness and WinWin noticed it and said, "yah, do you love Jisung? You have been giving him a fond stare for a while." Jeno chuckle a little and was glad it was nighttime as his cheek redden a little. " While I would jokingly say no, I do and I felt sad when this situation had happened. I was completely worried that he would resent us, but after explaining the truth, I think he does not resent us, except for the seven hyungs, that will get a big scolding and reprimands. I feel angry because Ten, Taeyong, Taeil, and the rest were so kind, but have happened to believe a sasaeng and her crew of cronies." WinWin nodded in agreement before he drift asleep. Jeno looks at Jisung and put his hand on Jisung's arm before he drifts off to dreamland.
