The practice room feels like a dim, sweaty cage, lit only by the reflection of tired bodies in the floor-to-ceiling mirrors. The bass of the track vibrates through the floorboards, syncopated with the harsh squeak of sneakers. Exhaustion hangs heavy in the humid air.

The white sweatpants mandated by the stylists have become her undoing—a stark, spreading stain marking her just as the song slams to a stop. The others slump, gasping for breath. She clutches her abdomen, oblivious. Heeseung's gaze snaps from fatigue to sharp concern. "you..." he says, the single word low and weighted, drawing the attention of every other member in the room.
