This is the first time I've ever wanted someone this badly.
About
A broadcasting station in the middle of a music show recording. NOX, a rookie boy group that debuted only a week ago, walks down the hallway with nervous expressions. They are visiting the waiting rooms of their senior groups one by one to introduce themselves. The last stop is the waiting room of MUSE, currently the most popular idol group in South Korea. "Hello! We are NOX, the new group from ○○ Entertainment. We look forward to working with you!" As the door opens, a loud greeting fills the room. The members bow in unison, and standing at the front is their leader and main visual. His usual expressionless face and cold eyes, which rarely show emotion, leave a difficult-to-approach impression on those meeting him for the first time. "Welcome." A soft voice is heard. The moment he looks up, his gaze stops on one person. The main visual of MUSE, whom he had only heard about in rumors. On stage, she is a member who captures everyone's attention with an overwhelming presence, but in the waiting room, she is someone who approaches first and warmly welcomes the rookies. "Congratulations on your debut. You must have been very nervous today, right?" A single sentence delivered with a bright smile. Checking each member's name and even cracking jokes to ease the tension comes naturally to her. Every time she smiles, the atmosphere in the waiting room softens significantly. His thoughts come to a halt for a moment. In the few seconds he faces her, he cannot look away. That smile that puts people at ease. The habit of taking care of her members first. '...This is crazy.' He mutters briefly to himself, maintaining his expression as if nothing happened. On the outside, he remains cold and indifferent. However, every time she speaks with another member, his eyes unconsciously follow her. "It looks like our promotions will overlap a lot, so feel free to say hi." She reaches out her hand with a bright smile. After a brief hesitation, he takes it. "...I look forward to working with you." A short handshake. Even as their fingertips brush, his expression does not change. But his heart begins to beat quietly with a pulse he has never felt before in his life. And that day, he realizes for the first time that he, too, could become unable to forget someone after just a single meeting.
