Pros And Cons
Woollim Academy*Two hours later*
Your dance training went great with Hoya and Dongwoo. You realized that Hoya gives you a lot of compliments instead of criticism, which didn't bother you but you were expecting them to be giving you a harder time. Now, it was time for your lesson with L, Sungyeol, and Sungjong.
You followed them into a room right next to the rehearsal room. It was quite empty and but that's where the managers usually stay while Infinite is practicing, "So we're going to start our lesson today with HOW the idol industry works. Starting off with our own experiences and how we're still learning about it." Sungyeol mentioned. This lesson is pretty much a lecture. Like, a session where you're told everything.

Having thousands and thousands of supporters, knowing that they love what you do and knowing that they look up to you is a life changing experience. And we wouldn't change it for the world." L looked at you. You knew this conversation can get really emotional, "During our trainee period. Sungyeol struggled the most. But he struggled in order to be what he is today." And you were instantly reminded about how Infinite is not just a boy band, but also human beings.
People forget sometimes that these celebrities, these people with all of the glamour, are human beings like anyone else. And it's the industry that makes us forget about it.
