문별이
[ I am Moonbyul, a 6-year trainee at Albideum ]


김용선
Hey! What are you spacing out for again?


문별이
Ah... I got tired while practicing....


김용선
Ugh... Oh, do you know? I heard that Jung Wheein, Ahn Hyejin, Yook Sungjae, and Lee Daehwi are debuting next month???


문별이
Really? Wow... They've only been here for two years... and they're already debuting...


김용선
Why are you suddenly so down!?! Ugh, I'm the one to blame... Moonbyul!! Snap out of it! Hey... don't compare yourself to them... You're amazing!! The CEO is probably trusting you and waiting for you. Cheer up.


문별이
Yeah... it's 9... Let's hurry home. Don't you have to leave soon too?


김용선
Gasp! You're right! Sorry, but I'm going first!!


문별이
Huh? Uh....


정휘인
What are they doing not going home at this hour...


정휘인
Star!


문별이
Ah... Hwin oppa....

Wait a minute!

It's completely random, but I stepped out briefly because I thought a character explanation was necessary.

[ Kim Yong-sun ] - 21 years old (20 years old in international age) - Female - 6th-year trainee under Albidum - Byul's best friend - Likes tteokbokki and sweet snacks.

[ Moon Byul-i ] - 21 years old (19 years old in international age) - Female - 6th-year trainee under Albideum - Yongsun's best friend - Everything about her—behavior, personality, etc.—is cheesy

[ Jung Wheein ] - 24 years old (23 years old) - Male - 2nd year trainee under Albidum - Has a long-standing friendship with Hyejin.

[ Ahn Hye-jin ] - 24 years old (23 years old) - Male - 2nd year trainee under Albidum - Best friend of Wheein.

If there is anything you would like me to change, please leave a comment. I will review it and make the necessary corrections!!

Then, let's continue the story!!


정휘인
What are you doing here? Shouldn't you go home?


문별이
Hmm... Right... Then why, Oppa...?


정휘인
I don't know if you heard, but I've been preparing for my debut....


문별이
Ah... then aren't you busy? You should be going...


정휘인
No, it's fine. It's break time right now.


정휘인
Byul, you've been a trainee longer than me. Isn't it hard?


문별이
It’s not hard at all... It’s something I do all the time.... (Suddenly sheds tears)


정휘인
What's wrong?? Why are you crying???


문별이
Actually... *sob*... I'm so... so... bro... It feels like the debut is getting delayed too... (Wiping away tears) Oppa, congratulations on your debut... I'll be going now... *sniff*

(The door closes) and bang


정휘인
Oh my... I've just become the bad guy who made a girl cry...

(Moonbyul walking down a quiet alley)


문별이
Showing Hwin oppa your crying face... Seriously... Moonbyul is pathetic....

'Thump... thump...'


문별이
That sound of footsteps... I've been hearing it for a while now. What should I do...

'Thump thump thump thump thump' The sound of footsteps is heard faster.


문별이
[ I heard that sound and started walking at a fast pace. At that moment! ]

Since this is the first chapter, I'm worried it might have been too short... I plan to make sure to post on weekends, and I will try to upload what I wrote over the weekend on weekdays. I hope you'll overlook any typos haha. It might not have been as interesting as other works, but thank you for reading until the end!
