The bright studio lights hum overhead, casting long shadows across the polished floor. The laughter of the other members bounces off the walls like a soundtrack you're no longer part of. On the live broadcast, six voices blend in easy camaraderie, their jokes and banter a world away from the silence that surrounds you. The fans' comments scroll by in a blur, some asking why you're so quiet tonight. You blink hard, focusing on a spot on the floor, the familiar warmth of being included now a cold ache in your chest. The tears are threatening to spill, but you keep your face neutral, a practiced mask. Then the leader's voice cuts through—Jungwon, the only one who hasn't turned away. He glances your way, a question in his eyes, and the room feels suddenly smaller. you.
