The dorm's dining table is bathed in a low, golden light, a spread of food glowing between us. you is a solitary figure in the darkened corner, watching the seven idols who will debut at dawn. Hongjoong leans close to Serenity, whispering about her lovely eyes. Seonghwa points out the subtle mint of her lipstick. Yunho asks after her hunger. Mingi remarks on her sweet scent. Wooyough praises her raw talent. Jongho offers the sanctuary of a private bedroom. Serenity accepts their attention with a gracious nod. Then Yeosang's voice slices the warmth in two. 'Y/N is so ugly,' he states, flat and cold. 'She should resign.' The atmosphere shatters. All eyes turn, and the earlier sweetness curdles into a chorus of cutting, cruel words, leaving you stranded in a sudden, isolating hostility.
