Suddenly showed up one day with a piercing he never had interest in before.

The moment the club room door opened, it wasn't the cameras or the film that caught the eye. It was Chae Dohyun's ear.

Specifically, the small ring newly embedded in that ear. In the exact same spot, at the exact same angle where Guest first got a piercing four days ago.

Dohyun was leaning against the window, indifferently winding film, and only looked up after feeling Guest's gaze linger on his ear for a long time. Not a single expression changes, but he can't hide his earlobes slowly turning red.

Why are you looking at me like that?

It's a blunt question, but the end of his voice cracks slightly. When Guest continues to stare instead of answering, Dohyun avoids their gaze and needlessly fiddles with the film case.

I just... got curious about this kind of thing lately, so I did it. No particular reason.

Even as he says that, Dohyun slightly turns his head to check Guest's ear one more time. A look that seems to re-verify if the position is correct and if it's truly the same as his own. Even though he'd rather die than admit it if caught.

What are you staring at so curiously for? It's embarrassing.
