When I opened my eyes, I was in a state of confusion

The long-awaited recording day

최여주

"Hmm, the machine has been working hard, so shall we start recording?"

최여주

"First, Yeonjun oppa"

최연준 image

최연준

" huh "

Perhaps because many people had heard the song he sang, his expression was much more serious than on other days.

최연준 image

최연준

"Is it okay if I approach you?"

최연준 image

최연준

"Maybe my heart is going to you"

최연준 image

최연준

"If this world stops, I'll run to save you."

최연준 image

최연준

"Even then, you'll be smiling like you always did."

최여주

"I'll do this bridge part one more time."

최여주

"Okay, recording is finished! Then shall we have a company dinner today?"

최수빈 image

최수빈

"Okay, since we can't go out outside of our schedule due to security reasons, should we have a company dinner at the dorm?"

최범규 image

최범규

" great!! "

강태현 image

강태현

"Then what would you like to eat?"

최여주

"Um, wait. Yeonjun oppa!"

최연준 image

최연준

"Yeah, uh uh"

최여주

"Just one drink... please... ㅠㅠ"

최수빈 image

최수빈

"It won't work (snickers)"

최여주

"Ha ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I want to drink alcohol ㅠㅠㅠ Aaaahㅜㅜ"

최여주

"I'm on leave now, but when I was in school, I drank a lot ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"

최여주

"Oppa, just one drink, please..."

최연준 image

최연준

"Okay, just drink a little instead, Soobin, me, and Beomgyu drink together."

강태현 image

강태현

"Then what do we eat?"

최수빈 image

최수빈

"You guys... you can't eat it because you're not pretty. Let's eat it together next year."

휴닝카이 image

휴닝카이

"Then let's have some grape juice, Taehyun."

강태현 image

강태현

" .... okay.. "

최범규 image

최범규

"Oh, nice, I'm drinking"

최여주

"Hehe, I'll bring it!"

최여주

"Then eat it! I cooked this."

최연준 image

최연준

"Oh, well done"

최범규 image

최범규

"Then beer or soju?"

최여주

"Of course soju!!"

최여주

"No, let's just eat both haha"

휴닝카이 image

휴닝카이

"We'd like to have a glass of beer too!"

최범규 image

최범규

"What? Doratna?"

강태현 image

강태현

" me too.. "

최연준 image

최연준

"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just eat a little and don't tell the PD-nim"

최여주

"Brother... Are these guys pretty?"

최수빈 image

최수빈

"These are the kids who eat even if they're told not to (mumble)"

최범규 image

최범규

"..If you get caught, you'll die?"

휴닝카이 image

휴닝카이

" Hehe, okay ^ㅁ^ "

강태현 image

강태현

(Gulp gulp)

최여주

"Whoa, what are you doing? You drink more than me.."

최수빈 image

최수빈

"Let's do it, us"

최여주

"Yes, ta-da!!!"

최여주

"What, why is he so drunk?;;"

강태현 image

강태현

"Whew.. nn.. "

최여주

"Huh? "

강태현 image

강태현

"I... want to sleep..."

최수빈 image

최수빈

"What, is Kang Tae-hyun's drinking habit this bad?"

최연준 image

최연준

"Tseup, did you pretend to be drunk because you were in front of Yeoju?"

휴닝카이 image

휴닝카이

"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But Taehyun speaks informally to Yeoju noona when he drinks"

최범규 image

최범규

"Yeah, I'm not the type to speak informally to you."

최여주

"Why? Is there a reason for that?"

최범규 image

최범규

"Ah... only our members know this."

최수빈 image

최수빈

"What do you want me to say?"

최범규 image

최범규

"So what, we're almost like family now."

최수빈 image

최수빈

"Oh, I see."

최범규 image

최범규

"..that guy Kang Tae-hyun,"

최범규 image

최범규

"I was abandoned by my parents a long time ago."

최여주

" ... what? "

※ This story is based on a fictional character, so please do not get too immersed in it. Our Kang Tae-hyun grew up receiving lots of love.

최범규 image

최범규

"Don't you think it's so bad? Being abandoned by your parents at the young age of 13 and having to live in an orphanage."

최여주

"So, how did you debut?"

최수빈 image

최수빈

"That's because our PD-nim came to the orphanage and brought Taehyun in and raised him for a while. He said that his friend's nephew was Kang Taehyun and that he was stupidly abandoned by his parents, so he brought him in after hearing that."

최연준 image

최연준

"And the producer saw the four of us practicing and said he wanted to try being a trainee, so he acted as a supporter."

최연준 image

최연준

"That's why Taehyun is still grateful to PD-nim."

최범규 image

최범규

"Well... that's obvious, but if the PD hadn't come from that trashy place, Taehyun would have just been waiting for someone in that spot, lonely."

최범규 image

최범규

"We also asked the PD because we were suspicious of Taehyun's sleep talking, but this is all we know."

최여주

"..how hard it must have been for Taehyun"

휴닝카이 image

휴닝카이

"That's true.. I think he must have had a lot of mental anguish after being there for about two years. He said he just studied alone there."

Each person has a past they don't want to remember, a past they don't want to go back to.

But we knew that we had to face the past again and again to overcome it.

To do that,

I'll be by your side, Taehyun.

Taehyun's room

최여주

"..Taehyun, lie down"

강태현 image

강태현

" ... (thud)"

최여주

" (sitting on the bed) Taehyun, "

최여주

" ... You must be having a hard time too, a lot (continues to pat Taehyun's head) "

최여주

"It was hard for my sister too, even though she's only a year older than me."

최여주

"My father abandoned me when I was young, too."

최여주

"So my family wasn't that wealthy, and I was so envious of people who said they lived well. Should I just say I envied others?"

최여주

"That's why I was afraid of the looks in many people's eyes when I was young."

최여주

"When I was in middle school, every time I passed by, my friends and teachers would look at me and say this."

최여주

"Um... 'That kid doesn't have a dad?' Something like that? That's basic."

최여주

"But I'm happy, Taehyun."

최여주

"I'm really happy to be doing what I want, being close to the people I like, and being together."

강태현 image

강태현

" .... "

Taehyun was sleeping with his eyes closed without saying anything.

It was as if he was listening to me.

최여주

"I'm really happy, are you happy?"

최여주

" .. No, I'm just worried that you might get caught up in the past while doing what you want to do."

강태현 image

강태현

" ... sister, "

강태현 image

강태현

".. I'm happy now.. "

강태현 image

강태현

(With a smile on his face, he pulls the female lead into bed)

최여주

"..?? Did you hug me..?"

최여주

"..Taehyun?"

최여주

" ...you're not drunk"

강태현 image

강태현

" .. nn.. "

강태현 image

강태현

"Sister... I'm having a hard time today, so please stay like this just this once... Please... Don't abandon me..."

강태현 image

강태현

"Just once today... I can't stand it anymore..."

최여주

" ... (hugs Taehyun warmly)"

최여주

"If you're having a hard time, come to me anytime."

최여주

"I will always remain your close older sister."

강태현 image

강태현

" ... (snickers)"

Sister, sister, you like senior Jungkook, right?

I like it, but it's hard to give it up.

I could try to seduce her, but I feel like someone else is already the main character, so I don't think I should take that position away from her.

So please, at least my older sister,

Please stay by my side until the end
