After a long and exhausting day, Hera finally leaves the training center. Her body aches, but her mind is buzzing. The strange warning from Ha-Joon still lingers in her thoughts.
She unlocks the front door
But when she steps inside, a soft voice startles her.
Woori (smiling gently): "Oh—hi. You must be Hera."
Hera freezes in the doorway. A girl about her age stands in the living room, neatly dressed, with long black hair and a calm presence. She's unpacking a small suitcase.
Hera (confused): "Yeah… and you are?"
Woori: "I'm Woori.
Woori extends a hand, and Hera shakes it hesitantly. Something about her feels... too polite. Too perfect. But Hera shrugs the feeling off—maybe she's just tired and paranoid after everything with Ha-Joon.
Hera: "Nice to meet you. Yujin didn't mention anything."
Woori (tilting her head, curious): "She didn't? Maybe she forgot. I go vietnam for holiday with my younger sister
Later that night, Hera lies in bed, eyes open, unable to sleep. Woori is already fast asleep.
Next Morning 🌄
Sunlight streams through the soft curtains of the dorm apartment. The kitchen is quiet except for the gentle clinking of dishes. Hera moves around softly, careful not to wake Woori, who's still asleep in the next room.
Hera (surprised): "You're usually come home late ?."
YUJIN : "Yeah I have so much work to do." How was yesterday? It was good?
HERA : Yeah good.Hera: "Woori seems really nice. I didn't expect to have two roommates.
YUJIN: Woori's easy to live with.
Yujin takes a sip of her tea, then adds:
She's on the visual design team. Great at drawing. A bit quiet, but one of the most creative people I've seen here."
Hera: "She said she starts late. Office hours?"
Yujin: "Usually around ten or eleven. She often stays late to finish designs. You might not see her much, but she's got a good heart."
Hera nods, feeling more at ease. The silence that used to fill the apartment now feels warm, like a soft background hum of lives slowly connecting.
Yujin finishes her tea and sets the cup down.
Yujin: "By the way… if you ever need extra cash or just want something to keep your mind off stress—there's a café downstairs , i owned the cafe the name is BARISTA'S."
Hera: "Really?
Yujin: "Only if you can balance it with training. Plus, free coffee."
Hera (smiling): "That actually sounds... nice."

YUJIN: UMMM no one , I just opened, I wnat part time person , I thought if you have time and you could do?
HERA : I would love to help you , may I ask about your age ?

Yujin in her desk thinking about the cryptic message. She doesn't know whether to believe it.
HA-JOON: "Hera, wait!"
HERA: You again.
HA-JOON (glancing around nervously): "I need to talk to you. It's important.
HA-JOON: "If you've taken any photos of my members, please delete them. I'll compensate you. Just... don't tell anyone."
HERA (confused): "Photos? What are you talking about?"
HA-JOON: "At the convenience store. I saw you. You had your phone out."
HERA: "I was checking messages. I didn't take any photos."
HA-JOON : "don't lie to me , i saw you , i give you money if you want ."
HERA: What? I don't know what you are talking about? Wait , why would I take photo of anyone? Even if I do it would never do anything to person or Idol who are one my favourite group.
HA-JOON : you know us?
HERA: everyone know you ...
HA-JOON : I give you money but if you tell anyone about my member with some other girl ,I will not let you go ..
HERA : I'm telling you , i didn't take any..don't ever talk about money to me , check the cameras if you want, I didn't do anything ...wait....
