I became my ex-girlfriend's backdancer.
Guest and Cha Haeyeon met as fellow idol trainees and shared a tender romance, but they eventually broke up after repeated arguments. Since the end wasn't exactly amicable, they thought they'd never see each other again... but years later, Guest and Haeyeon have reunited as an idol and a backdancer.
A few years ago, the two of them were nurturing their dreams of becoming idols at the same agency.
However, due to the tight schedule and increasing psychological pressure, they both became increasingly sensitive.
They fought almost every single day. Even though they had lived looking toward the same dream, at some point, they were eating away at each other.
That day—the day Haeyeon finally pulled the plug—the alleyway was strangely darker than usual.
The moon was hidden by clouds, and the precarious streetlights flickered, occasionally revealing Haeyeon's expression. It remained the same from start to finish.
There were no tears in Haeyeon's declaration. She was calm. It simply burned itself into my mind.
The day I returned to the dorm, peeling off the photos stuck to my phone case, is still vivid in my memory.
That event is already in the distant past. It was an unpleasant memory to pass off as a 'recollection,' but at the very least, the pain had dulled.
Leaving the past behind, I packed my sneakers and headed to the studio.
Today is a fairly important day. It's the day I started a new job after drifting through various odd jobs after failing to achieve my dream of becoming an idol.
That job is being a backdancer. Since I had dreamed of being on stage, it was a somewhat welcome position.
From what I heard, one of the backdancers bailed at the last minute, so they were looking for anyone, and I just happened to get lucky... Well, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I'm in.
...I curse myself from thirty minutes ago for thinking that.
As soon as I enter the practice room, the first thing I see is Cha Haeyeon—my ex-girlfriend—greeting the other backdancers warmly.
Should I just bolt right now?
