Mark was completely unsure of what to do right now as he couldn't get anything out of Donghyuck. He tried stepping closer to the younger male, but only for the other to step back away from him.

"Donghyuck, it's okay. You can talk to me," Mark assured and spoke soothingly.

Mark wants make the younger feel safe and feel that he himself is trustworthy to speak with about anything.

But Mark did not receive a response as Jeno and Johnny arrived back onto the main mats, ordering everyone to take their positions.

Mark gave Donghyuck one last look, the younger quickly wiping his tears so that no one else can notice them, before standing in line.

On the row line with the instructor and coaches stood in order: Jeno, Donghyuck, Johnny, Jisung, and Mark, meaning that the four of them are coaches/assistant helpers. The rest of the students were on the other line, positioned in the order of how long they have been training and their ranking levels.

Even though Donghyuck was a coach, nobody looked at him or recognized him as one. Especially since his father never enforced it and always called Donghyuck by his first name instead of adding the tittle 'coach' in front of it.

But he'd call the other three with the tittle in front of their names, specifically Jisung because he's so perfect at everything.

Was he not worthy of owning such an entitlement? Did he really suck that bad that his own father won't even identify him as one?

So why have him be tested for his rankings and have him pass them if he wasn't applicable? Did his own father pity him? Was it his other father who did so?

Did he force his father to give him the ranking he has now?

After Johnny greeted everybody, he informed them that Jeno will be taking over the exercises for conditioning for the day.

"Please follow Jeno's orders for your conditioning this evening. After that, I want you all to wrap up and glove up," Johnny instructed them.

"Yes, sir!" Everybody loudly and simultaneously said.

Johnny left the mats and walked over to the parents of the students who were seated beside the wall, watching the class.

"You can pick an exercise first, Donghyuck!" Jeno suggested and waited for the boy's answer.

An exercise to start off with, huh?

Donghyuck thought about it for a moment. He needs to pick an exercise that will target his stomach and inner core to help him lose all this stubborn fat he obtains.

"Mountain climbers?" Donghyuck answered and Jeno nodded enthusiastically.

"Alright everybody, mountain climbers is the first exercise. I will continue to add on more exercises throughout our fifthteen minute conditioning," Jeno told the class and everybody nodded.

"Yes, coach Jeno!"

"Alright, we begin.....now! Mountain climbers, let's go!" Jeno instructed with enthusiasm.

Everybody got down on the palms of their hands, holding their arms up as they brought their knees to their chest one by one at a rapid pace, kind of like running in place.

Exercises after exercises after exercises continuously for fifthteen minutes straight.

Despite wearing a headband, sweat was still able to drip down the sides of Donghyuck's temples. His body was hurting as he did each exercise and not wanting to give himself any breaks, he pushed himself through it.
