"Leader, leader, are you alright?"

"Urgh…" Yunyu felt his head had been hit by a hammer, and his body was broken into pieces. He felt his body had been strained too much. Yunyu opened his eyes and saw four other men surrounding him worriedly.

"Hyung, if you are too tired, you should rest first," the handsome man with a slightly effeminate face said. He looked ethereal, even without makeup. He was obviously the soft visual of the group.

Yunyu glanced at the name tag plastered on this beautiful man's chest,

Kim Kyong, with the stage name 'Kyong'.

"Ah, I am alright…" Yunyu said although he was definitely not alright. His body had been beaten and strained all over. He tried to get up, but his leg was too weak that he fell again.

A muscular man caught Yunyu before his body hit the ground, "Hyung, I really think it's no good for you to stay like this."

Yunyu looked up and saw a man with sharp feature and a chiselled jawline, the hunk of the group.

Im Jae-Hwa, with the stage name 'Jay.'

"I—I am really alright…" Yunyu said. He struggled to get up. This time, his leg could stand, but he couldn't move his leg because both were cramped.

A pair of twins suddenly caught his arms to prop him, one had a dyed blonde hair, and one hard a dyed blue hair, "Hyung, you have been working too hard, please take care of yourself." The twin with blonde hair said.

"Yes, you may be the leader, but that doesn't mean that you cannot rest," the other twin with blue hair added.

Nam Taeyang, stage name 'Taeyang.'

And Nam Taesa, stage name 'Taesa.'

[Wow, what is this! I got attacked by so many visuals! All of them are so handsome!]

[Pupa: Are you feeling better now?]

[A bit, hehe. You know me the best Pupa, I'm in a terrible mood, and this really helps to light up my mood!]

[Pupa: Okay, spicy chicken host, go do your thing. You can do it.]

[Wait, you haven't told me what is this world about.]

[Pupa: Isn't it obvious already? You are in an idol showbiz world. You are the leader of a newly debuted group called BXB69 with five members ages 17 to 20. Your name is Kim Haneul, with the stage name of Han. Your position is leader, centre, and lead vocal.]

[Pupa: The most beautiful one is Kim Kyong, his position is visual, maknae, and main vocal.]

[Pupa: that handsome hunk there is Im Jae-Hwa, stage name Jay. His position is the main dancer and subvocal.]

[Pupa: and the twins are Nam Taeyang and Nam Taesa, their positions are the same, lead dancers and rappers.]

[So, the members are Han, Jay, Taeyang and Taesa, and Kyong, right?]

[Pupa: Indeed. You are also the oldest. You are twenty years old already.]

Yunyu looked at his group members. All of them were young, vigorous, and full of hope. They were what we called a rookie group. But since there were too many new groups debuting every year, a new rookie from an unknown entertainment company was doomed from the beginning.

And that was what happened with BXB69 right now.

They came from an unknown company that would not survive after two or three years. But all of them were very dedicated to their work, and Kim Haneul was the most reliable leader.

He barely slept every day because he always tried to perfect their dance move with Jay. Train and harmonize his vocal with the maknae, Kyong. Group training because he was the centre, working in a café as a barista to provide the group to eat, and promoting the group by himself.

Of course, the other members also helped and worked as hard, but Haneul always got it the hardest.

[Then, who is the master of this world, and what is the mission to get that 100% Breakmeter?]

[Pupa: the master of this world is quite far from here, you will not meet him until you did your third show, in MBink, Music Bink. He will be there.]

[So I assume his Breakmeter and Fatemeter are both zero?]

[Pupa: Yes.]

[Pupa: Well, this world is a bit unique because to fill that Breakmeter, what you need to do is not actually entirely related to the master of the world.]

[Pupa: to fill the Breakmeter, you have to successfully make BXB69 win the Daebak award. The most prestigious music award in South Korea. Though, if you meet the master of the world later, I believe this will be achievable, at least it should be possible. Because right now, the future of BXB69 is so bleak because of your mediocre debut song, it is not ever charting in WaterMelon, one of the reliable music chart.]

[… wait, why do I feel like you are putting so much parody in it? Why can't we just say Mbank, Daesang, Melon chart—]

[Pupa: Shush! Do you want to get copyrighted?!]

[… no.]

[Pupa: then let's just not make it harder for the author, he didn't want to get copyrighted, you know.]

[Oh, you mean your spicy-chicken author? Hehe, wonder if we can get him to trouble.]

Haneul smiled at his members and nodded, "Maybe I do need a bit of rest. I need to sleep for an hour, then we can practice again."

"No! You need to rest for the whole day or two!" Kyong protested. He was really cute and fit that ideal beauty standard. Everything about his look was in perfect harmony. "Han Hyung, you really need to rest. You've been working too hard. Don't worry, we can take care of ourselves while you sleep!"

"Yes, Hyung!" the other members affirmed.

Haneul felt guilty for leaving his group to practice alone, especially since their next show on Mbink would be three days left. But his body really couldn't handle it.

"I… I will rest for a day and return back healthy. Please take care, guys," Haneul said while he walked away from the training room. Other members looked at Haneul's back, and they sighed.

"We need to train harder. We can't let Haneul Hyung take care of everything," Taeyang said.

"Yes! We can do this!" Taesa added.

"BXB69, GO, GO, GO!" they yelled to encourage themselves and started the dance practice again because they wanted to do a variation of their dance to excite their small fanbase and viewers in MBink later.

Yunyu rested on his bed in this cramped 'dorm.' It was not really a dorm though, it was basically an unused practice room inside their company floor, which was turned into their dorm, with five mattresses on the floor, five small wardrobes and their shoes stacked near the door. They also only had one bathroom inside this dorm.

Yunyu looked up and talked with Pupa, "This world will be challenging because it is tough to actually gain success in this field. Since many new groups are debuting every year. We are just a nugu rookie also…"

"Well, that's the mission. Try to make it come true."

"Then, what is the reason why BXB69 needs to succeed to save the world? Is there a life-threatening situation?"

"Not really. This is a challenging world nonetheless, right? I just read your brain and saw that you also have an unfulfilled dream to be an idol, but since you are not really good at dancing and singing in your real world, you decided to chase the career as an actor instead. With Haneul's innate skill, you should be able to be a good idol with hard work and perseverence."

"So this world really is a recreational world," Yunyu thought. "Well, let's just hope nothing wrong will happen here."
