One step to you

Drama filming set, and another message

The next day. Seoyeon's first drama filming site.

Although it is not a lead role, it is a fairly important role for a newcomer.

Seo-yeon, who was immersed in acting while trying to calm her nervous expression in front of the camera,

During the brief break after the cut, I checked the KakaoTalk notification that had rang again.

정한

• [Senior Yoon Jung-han] ‘Junior Seo-yeon, I heard you’re going to the Juice Gym tonight. If you want to meet naturally, come up to the basement level of Hive~?’

Seoyeon covered her mouth with her hand.

이서연

“Huh... Really...?”

이서연

'You really weren't joking... You really wanted to help me...!'

She hesitated for a moment, as if she was embarrassed, but soon began typing the message with her fingers.

• [Lee Seo-yeon] ‘Really... thank you so much, senior!!’ + emoticon

In that moment, emotions surged up like a tidal wave.

It was comforting to know that someone knew how I felt and even tried to help me.

Meanwhile, in the corner of the practice room, Jeonghan was leaning against the wall and crouching down.

Jeonghan squatted quietly, looked down at his phone, and then saw Seungcheol. Jeonghan opened his mouth to face the leader who was preparing for practice while stretching in the corner.

정한

“Hey Seungcheol. What are you doing tonight?”

에스쿱스(승철)

“Me? I’m going to the gym. Why, do you want to go together?”

정한

“No, I’m just curious~”

에스쿱스(승철)

"I knew it~"

Jeonghan accepted it calmly.

Then he sent a message to Seoyeon and played with his phone for a while. He couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Seoyeon's reply and heart emoticon that had just arrived.

정한

“Ah. Really.... Cook..”

Seungcheol looks at Jeonghan and frowns, then speaks to Mingyu who is nearby.

에스쿱스(승철)

“If you don’t go, should I go with Min-gyu? Min-gyu, are you free today?”

민규

"Hey hyung"

Jeonghan smiles slightly at that reaction and looks at the last KakaoTalk message he sent to Seoyeon.

Now this is just a prank.

It's just a little bit fun to be the cupid that connects the two. For now, it's really just that much.

***

That evening,

After filming, Seoyeon simply changed into workout clothes to look natural and went to the Hive basement gym.

There, I saw Soups working out alone. Seoyeon, who saw Soups through the window outside the gym, naturally went inside.

에스쿱스(승철)

"Huh? Seoyeon~ What a coincidence~"

Seungcheol shifted his gaze and saw Seoyeon like that, and immediately spoke to her.

이서연

"Uh... Seungcheol oppa? I didn't know you'd be here at this hour..."

Seoyeon spoke and acted naturally, and her acting skills were enough to fool anyone.

에스쿱스(승철)

"Seoyeon, you work out hard too. It's nice to see you~ Celebrities really have to take care of themselves consistently!"

이서연

"...Yeah, well...I learned all this from my brother.."

Then, Coups laughed and said, “That’s nothing special,” and Seoyeon was happy to see Coups’ smile and was about to continue talking when,

민규

"Ah, Jeonghan hyung, why are you standing in front of me so I can't go in??"

I heard a little commotion coming from the entrance of the gym.

Min-gyu comes in and speaks to Jeong-han.

Then, Seoyeon and Coups' gazes also focused in that direction, and Jeonghan scratches his head and speaks.

정한

"Oh, no, when did I stop you from entering?"

민규

"No, there's a big block in front of the door, but I'm trying to get in."

에스쿱스(승철)

"Hey, what's wrong? Is Min-gyu here?"

When Jups asked, Mingyu came in and said, "Hyung," and then he looked at Seoyeon who was standing next to him and said.

민규

"Who are you...?"

이서연

"Oh, hello, this is Seoyeon Lee."

에스쿱스(승철)

"Oh, here's the little brother I know."

When Coups introduced Seoyeon, Mingyu replied, “Hello.”

Seo-yeon's heart ached at the mention of 'a friend I know', but she greeted Min-gyu as quietly as she could.

Jeonghan was watching this scene from a distance for a while.

Seoyeon told Coups that she also works out and went to the treadmill machine a little away from Coups.

I started running slowly.

At that time, Jeonghan came running on the treadmill next to me.

He runs lightly and speaks to Seoyeon next to him.

정한

"...Hey, sorry, I was trying to help you."

Then, Seo-yeon's heart pounded at Seop's words, but she smiled and said thank you to Jeong-han.

이서연

"No, senior. I'm already so grateful. You did that so that I could be with Seungcheol oppa, right?"

Seo-yeon smiled prettily and said to Jeong-han,

Jeonghan looked at Seoyeon like that, then looked straight ahead again while making a 'big' sound, and their treadmills started moving side by side.
