Flea looked at his Instagram DM for a while and then turned off the screen.
"Should I reply? Should I not?ㅠㅠ"
The comments section was already on fire with the words, 'Kim Flee X Yoo Ha Min collaboration confirmed.'
My fingertips started trembling for no reason.
Eunho and Yejun were having a quiet argument about this.
Eunho said.
"Don't reply. You're a rude team. If you decided to do something like that without even asking us, it's obvious what will happen when you collaborate."
But Yejun had a different opinion.
"... But that could be your mistake...
"If you're interested in that stage, wouldn't it be better to at least pick up the phone?"
Feeling the gazes of the two people, Flea opened her mouth slightly.
"... I'll answer your phone tomorrow. Please reply and leave your number."
Eunho lowered his head slightly, as if upset that his opinion was not chosen, and let out a small sigh.
Those eyes looked strangely upset.

The next morning.
Flea opened his eyes but still felt uneasy.
Yesterday's sudden SNS confirmation announcement... My mind was in a state of confusion.
"I'm nothing special... Am I qualified to stand on a stage like this...?"
I headed to school, hugging my anxious feelings.
"Huh?! Are you by any chance the band vocalist??"
"I really saw the performance yesterday!! Just a selfie with us..."
A few students recognized Flea and approached her.
"Ah... I, I... I'm sorry!"
Flea greeted him in confusion and ran away.
***
As soon as he arrived at the band practice room, Flea took a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair.
"... Ha... Is this right... There are so many people who recognize me"
Yejun asked first.
"What's going on?"
"...Someone recognized me earlier and asked to take a picture. But I'm still just... a student at Godol University..."
Bambi said teasingly at Flea's words.
"Ah~ Our celebrity has arrived~! Early symptoms of star disease~ Should I make a hospital appointment for you?"
Yejun said with a smile.
"Stop teasing me. Chaebambi -_-"
"ㅋㅋThat's because Flea is surprised by even the smallest attention~ You have to accept that kind of thing to become a star."
"Yeah, you're good at everything. It's natural for you to get this much attention."
Flea smiled faintly.
“I’m still too young to hear such words…”
Eunho quietly wiped his hands in front of the drums and spoke without even looking at him.
"...Don't worry. You've been a huge hit since your first stage, so you're doing well."
The tone was awkwardly bland.
Flea thought that was cute somehow.
"...Senior, are you perhaps following Senior Yejun?"
Eunho looked away, putting his hand on his chin in embarrassment.
"No, that's not it. It's just... you're talented enough to deserve that kind of attention..."
"Hahaha, okay~ Thank you^^"

afternoon.
Flee sat on a bench next to the library and picked up his cell phone.
Tiring—
"hello?"
"Hello. I'm Yoo Ha-min from the duo band VIBE."
"...Oh, hello."
The voice was surprisingly warm and calm.
It was a slightly low and comfortable tone.
"First of all, I'm sorry. The SNS post wasn't my intention...! My manager uploaded it unilaterally, and I was surprised too...."
"...Oh, yeah... I was surprised too."
"If you felt uncomfortable, I'm really sorry. It was our fault.
More than that, Mr. Flea's performance... was really impressive..!
"He led perfectly even in a power outage."
"...Thank you. At that time...
I felt like I had to do nothing, so I did something.. haha"
"Isn't that what a pro is? After watching that video, I wanted to stand on stage with him too."
At those words, Flea's heart sank for no reason.
"I still have a lot to learn... Oh..."
"You say it's not enough? That actually looks good to me...!
"Because a performance that shows the sincerity of the people who put on the stage is more touching than a performance that is too perfectly planned."
"...ahem"
"Would you like to do this stage together? You can decline if you wish."
After taking a moment to catch his breath, Flea finally opened his mouth.
"My answer is..."
