Memory Manipulation Club: txt [Short Story]

on air - Soobin

The hallway was noisy as usual.
The sound of children's laughter and the dragging of slippers mingled
It was when I was walking blankly through the noise.


Suddenly, my vision was abruptly blocked.


"uh...?"


The first thing I saw as soon as I lifted my head was the school uniform shirt buttons.
And they were deep eyes that you had to look up quite a bit further to meet.


The face was blurry due to the backlight,
At least that gaze staring down at me was vivid.


"I found her. The heroine of our drama."


My heart sank at the low, melodious voice.
Seeing me standing there, flustered and unable to say a word,
He smiled, raising the corners of his mouth slightly.


"Do you happen to have any interest in acting? I'm asking because I feel like it absolutely has to be you."


It was a soft voice, but it carried an irresistible weight.

When I came to my senses,
I was already being led by his hand to the door of the broadcasting room.


As I opened the door, the heat from the machine swept through, and the gazes of four people fixed on me all at once.


I finally brought him along.


Senior Yeonjun looked me over as he wiped the camera lens,
Beomgyu waved his hand playfully with the headset hanging around his neck.
Huening Kai, who was revising the script in the corner, and
Even Taehyun, who was engrossed in video editing.


So, instead of a name, I
I gained a new title: the 'youngest' and the 'female lead'.


"Do you... remember me?"


First shoot.


Subin's voice was heard carried on the cool breeze from the rooftop.


The usual affection was nowhere to be found,
The voice of 'Jihu' in the drama, which has grown cold.


The moment I heard Senior Yeonjun's "Ready, action!" from behind the camera,
The air in the space changed.


Soobin senior slowly stroked my cheek with an ad-lib that wasn't in the script.
My mind went blank at the warmth transmitted through my fingertips.


This is acting, it's just acting.


I repeated it countless times inwardly,
My heart was already racing out of control.


It was already the last day of filming.
We faced a breakup scene where we had to push each other away.


"Why are you acting like this when you abandoned me...! I really struggled to quit.
But why do you keep shaking it...!


The emotions I had been holding back burst out.
Tears were not in the script.


But the moment I looked at Soobin sunbae,
Whether it is feelings for Ji-hoo in the drama,
Or perhaps something that I couldn't tell if it was my true feelings for my senior suddenly gushed out.




The large screen in the auditorium went off,
A brief silence fell in the darkened space.
Soon, a storm of cheers erupted. The drama was a success.


Amidst the questions pouring down on us as we stepped onto the stage,
Someone mischievously grabbed the microphone.


"Soobin! Did you ever genuinely feel a flutter in your heart for Si-an while filming?"


The audience stirred at the unexpected question.
I bowed my head in embarrassment, but,
Senior Subin, standing beside him, adjusted his grip on the microphone with a relaxed expression.


Yes. There are. Very much so.


I thought my heart stopped. When I looked up in surprise,
My senior was looking only at me, not at the numerous audience members.


My senior took a step closer, met my eyes, and whispered softly.
The senior's voice echoed throughout the entire auditorium through the microphone.


"Sian, just like our drama has gone on air..."
Our story, tooOn AirWon't you give it a try...?


At that moment, the drama ended, but our real story was beginning.
