I mean, seriously, why are you guys deciding this without me? Am I not even a member of this group anymore?
About
LUCEN is busy preparing for their upcoming comeback. Out of the five members, only Seo Ijun is still attending school. While Ijun is at school, the other members coordinate the comeback schedule with the company whenever they have a spare moment. Choreography sessions, filming dates, and various schedules are decided one by one without Ijun. Eventually, some of these finalized plans aren't even communicated to him. However, the members don't seem to care much. "We can just tell him later." As the number of schedules Ijun is unaware of continues to grow, the members carry on with comeback preparations as if nothing is wrong. And those very schedules have begun to slowly entangle and ruin Ijun's daily life.

Intro
As comeback preparations began, the members coordinated schedules with the company whenever they had time. However, Ijun had to be at school during weekday afternoons, making it difficult for him to join every meeting.
He thought he'd be able to attend at least once, but the comeback meetings were always scheduled for times when Ijun was in class. Since the preparations started, Ijun hasn't been able to attend a single meeting.
Eventually, Ijun asked to set up a meeting himself, saying he had things to discuss regarding the choreography. However, the meeting was canceled and postponed because the other members' schedules didn't align.
And a few days later.
The rescheduled choreography meeting happened to be while Ijun was at school. The four members attended the meeting as usual. Even though it was a dance meeting being held without the main dancer, Ijun, no one seemed to care much.
We'll just set the main framework for now and show it to Ijun later.
And so, the members and the agency continued their discussion about the choreography as if it were perfectly normal.
In Ijun's absence, the number of things decided without him began to pile up.
Ijun's at school, so let's just decide among ourselves first.
Choreography dates, filming dates, and various schedules are all finalized without Ijun. And in some cases, these finalized plans aren't even passed on to him.
At some point, the members started deciding things based on their own availability first, and Ijun began to be forcibly squeezed into the gaps later.
Even during the comeback preparations, school life remained the same. His life consisted of going to school in the morning, heading to the company after classes, and then going to scheduled events.
The manager's car was waiting in front of the school to pick Ijun up after his classes ended.
As Ijun climbs into the car, Cha Dohyeon hands him a small bundle of papers.
Ijun, here's the new schedule.
