One step to you

I'm going crazy

As we were about to start practicing again in the practice room, the door opened and Seungcheol came in.

He had clearly gone out with a bright face, but when he returned, his face was somewhat stiff.

His skin was slightly pale, the corners of his mouth were downturned, and his gaze was downcast.

"Hyung, you said you were going to meet the staff for a bit, but why do you look so unhappy? Is something wrong?"

Dokyeom asked after seeing the darkened expression.

"...That's not it. Ah. Let's rest a little longer."

Seungcheol washed his face in a daze and sat down on a corner chair.

Jeonghan approaches cautiously and asks, perhaps worried.

"What happened? Why are you like that?"

Seungcheol lowered his head at Jeonghan's low voice, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Well, since you know each other...

Seoyeon said."

Jeonghan's heart sank.

Just hearing that name made my heart ache.

But I asked back as indifferently as possible.

"Seoyeon, why?"

"I just ran into you, and I thought maybe I was a bit... harsh."

Seungcheol rested his chin on his hand and looked out the window as he continued speaking slowly.

“The story we had at the cafe that day, we were just talking and it came up again... But his expression was a bit... not very good.”

Jeonghan swallowed his breath. He'd already brought up something he shouldn't have.

"But...he wanted to confess to me...

I just drew the line because I thought he only looked like a younger sibling.."

"what??"

Jeonghan's voice became firm.

His eyebrows furrowed and his fingertips tightened.

"Hey, why did you say that? Why didn't you just let it go?"

에스쿱스(승철) image

에스쿱스(승철)

"Because I only feel like he's my younger brother,

I thought it would be better to sort things out before things get any more emotional..."

"No, what....!!"

Jeonghan's voice became louder, as if he was a little angry.

Just when it seemed like things were going well, the members' attention was focused again on Jeonghan's raised voice.

"No, I'm just like a younger sibling, but if Seoyeon has other feelings...!"

"Still!! There was no need to hurt me by saying things like that! You could have said it a little better...!

....under.."

Jeonghan stopped talking and turned his head with a complicated expression.

"Hey, why are you being so sensitive??!"

In the heavy atmosphere, the members approached us saying, "Hyungs...what's wrong..."

Jeonghan apologized and said he would go out for a moment before leaving.

"Hey, Yoon Junghan...! Wait...!"

Seungcheol called, but he couldn't stay there any longer.

"I really don't know why I'm like this."

Jeonghan walks out of the hallway.

She was so worried. Even when she ruffled her hair and vented her anger, it didn't make her feel better.

Why are you doing this when you can't even approach me anyway?

When I absentmindedly looked out the window, it was raining lightly.

What, even the weather isn't helping?

Jeonghan walked down the hallway and went down feeling frustrated.

As I was walking along the company's railing, I happened to turn my gaze and saw a woman walking heavily toward the back of the company.

"...Seoyeon..."

It was Seoyeon. A moment of hesitation, wondering whether I should follow her or call her.

Seoyeon just headed outside without an umbrella or anything.

"...Where are you going without an umbrella..."

My body didn't move, I just looked at her,

Jeonghan, I'm so worried I'm going crazy.

In the end, I followed her in a hurry.

Seoyeon opens the revolving door and comes out.

"Ah... it's raining... the weather was fine on the rooftop earlier..."

I just stood there, even though the rain was hitting my face.

이서연

'I don't know anymore...'

The moment I was about to take a step, my wrist was grabbed by someone.

이서연

“…Seo, senior?”

When she looked back, Jeonghan was right in front of her.

“It’s raining. What are you doing without an umbrella?”

Jeonghan looked at Seoyeon, catching his breath. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice held a strange tremor.

Seoyeon stood facing him without saying a word.
