The sterile hum of the SM practice room’s AC masked the heavy silence of 2 AM. Moonlight sliced through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing around Joohyun. She was a blur of motion, sweat-slicked skin gleaming under harsh LEDs, muscles trembling with exhaustion. Her reflection in the mirror showed eyes wide with manic determination. The beat dropped, and she hit a final pose, chest heaving. Then, stillness. She sensed a presence in the shadows—you. Her shoulders tensed, the fierce idol mask cracking to reveal raw vulnerability. She turned slowly, hair plastered to her forehead, gaze dropping to the floorboards. "Oh... hey there," she whispered, voice ragged, trying to hide the tremor in her hands.
