The moment someone took my side
Dokyeom shouted with a leisurely smile, flashing a carrier full of coffee.
도겸(석민)
“Here comes the coffee~ Drink it and cheer up everyone~!”
A moment of leisure flowed through the busy space.
Dokyeom's tone was somehow warm, and Goeun quietly moved her hand next to him, handing him coffee.
One person, another person.
The staff members received coffee and exchanged brief greetings, and Dokyeom responded to each of them affectionately.
But even at that moment, Team Leader Seong Ha-eun's gaze lingered like a thorn.
Even as he sipped the drink in his hand, his eyes secretly followed Go-eun.
How much time has passed since the break?
The members started preparing for filming one by one again.
Go Eun was quietly preparing jewelry and prop parts behind the table where the props were placed.
That was when... thud—
임고은
“…!”
Team Leader Seong Ha-eun approached her with a frown, and nudged her with his elbow, as if giving her a gentle nudge.
Thump, thump! The sound of the street cracking was sharp.
The jewelry and props that had been on the desk spilled onto the floor.
The shiny parts scattered in all directions, and some were damaged by collisions.
The considerable sound of impact drew everyone's attention towards Go Eun.

“…Oh my! What are you doing?! How many times have I told you to handle it with care!”
Seong Ha-eun's voice tore through the space in an instant.
However, it conveys the nuance that it is a criticism for making mistakes.
She looked at Go-eun with confidence, even though she had pushed her away.
임고은
"... ..."
Go Eun stopped in her tracks. Broken parts lay on the floor.
The prop I was holding in my hand. I felt wronged.
It was definitely not my fault, but I couldn't bring myself to say anything in protest.
I closed my eyes tightly.
And then, without saying a word, he crouched down on the floor and began picking up the scattered fragments one by one.

“…Oh, what should I do with this? It’s sponsored, so a lot of it is expensive…”
성하은 팀장
Didn't I tell you to take good care of it? I guess I'll have to ask for all of this. Ugh…
A voice looking down from above.
The corners of Sung Ha-eun's mouth curled up, and several staff members shook their heads and whispered.
???
“He’s always a problem.”
???
“I told you it was a headache.”
No one took Go Eun's side.
The members also focused on their own preparations and passed over this situation.
at that time.
도겸(석민)
“Hey, Ha-eun unnie~”
A familiar voice. But the tone was somewhat light and playful.
The atmosphere of the moment was shattered by that one word.
도겸(석민)
“I saw it. My sister was passing by the desk when she bumped into it and it fell off.”
Seong Ha-eun looked back in surprise.
성하은 팀장
“…Do, Dokyeom…? What is that…”
Dokyeom stretched lightly with his arms folded with a relaxed expression.
Then he said with a smile.
도겸(석민)
“Are you embarrassed because you made a mistake, Unnie? Hehe~
도겸(석민)
Hey, it's not that expensive, and if you make the staff pay for a broken jewel, who would want to work?
도겸(석민)
It's okay, I'll keep it a secret. Everyone, keep it a secret~ Hehe~"
Even with a slight wink. Seong Ha-eun's face hardened.
He said it with an awkward smile, as if trying to hide his embarrassment.
성하은 팀장
“…Ah, ahaha… That, that’s right…”
Go-eun froze in place. She sat quietly on the floor, her hands still picking up the debris.
What he couldn't say with his own mouth— someone, and in public at that, had said it—was truly unprecedented.
임고은
“I’ll… go and clean up.”
With her lips trembling, she held the fragment, lowered her head, and quickly left the place.
Dokyeom watched her back until the end, then smiled brightly as if to resume filming as if nothing had happened.
???
“Everyone ready~ Let’s start filming now~”
The director's words were heard, but the eyes behind that smile were focused in only one direction.
