By Zephyria “Tae-kyung, nice to meet you. I’m Yeon-du.”
“Nice to meet you, Yeon-du Sunbaenim. I learned a lot from watching Sunbaenim’s stage videos.”
As Tae-kyung bowed again, Yeon-du Sunbaenim laughed loudly.
“Tae-kyung, don’t give me that lip service.”
“No, Sunbaenim. I really…”
“I’m a fan of Tae-kyung. I’ve watched Tae-kyung’s content videos and music videos a lot.”
Feeling flustered by the unexpected praise, Tae-kyung bowed again.
“Sunbaenim, I’m really honored.”
“Hey, don’t keep bowing.”
Yeon-du Sunbaenim rummaged through the pockets of her oversized hoodie zip-up.
“I was really looking forward to meeting Tae-kyung. Let’s take a picture together.”
“Ah… okay.”
After Sweet Girls and Sky Blue members gathered together to take a photo, Yeon-du Sunbaenim grabbed Tae-kyung’s arm and pulled him along.
“Tae-kyung, you know we’re the same age, right? Let’s take a commemorative photo as friends.”
Tae-kyung felt like he was being assimilated by Yeon-du Sunbaenim’s friendly and natural attitude. He didn’t feel awkward at all as he took a selfie with her, making a V sign. He was amazed by her incredible social skills.
“I’m looking forward to Sky Blue’s stage today.”
“Good luck. Fighting!”
“Thank you!”
Yeon-du Sunbaenim, who was heading to the waiting room, looked back at him again.
“Tae-kyung, see you later!”
“Ah, yes! Sunbaenim.”
Jeong-min, who was watching the Sunbaenims walking away, pouted.
“Yeon-du Sunbaenim seems to want to be friends with Hyung. Lucky you, Tae-kyung Hyung.”
“It’s because she’s the same age as Tae-kyung Hyung. Jeong-min, why are you even jealous of that?”
“When did I say I was jealous…”
Jeong-min and Ho-soo bickered until Gun-woo Hyung scolded them and they quieted down. Tae-kyung looked towards Sweet Girls’ waiting room.
And then he fell into an unexpected thought.
A female friend… he had never even thought about it.
But if he could break out of his narrow social circle, maybe he could look at Sung Se-han with a more relaxed perspective.
Yeah. Let’s meet people, whether they’re female friends or male friends.
If only he could turn his gaze away from Sung Se-han.
“Jeong-min, Ho-soo. If you see PD Jeong Ji-seok, bow ninety degrees no matter what. Got it? Answer loudly. Don’t forget. And don’t freeze up, understand the stage well. So you don’t get confused about the movements later.”
As he was reminding his younger members before going up on the rehearsal stage, Jeong-min complained.
“Tae-kyung Hyung, why are you only like that to us? Why don’t you nag Soo-in!”
“Soo-in does well on his own even if I don’t tell him to.”
At his answer, even Ho-soo pouted. Soo-in blushed and lowered his gaze, as if he was embarrassed about something again.
Doo-hyun Hyung, who was watching, patted Tae-kyung on the back.
“Thanks to Tae-kyung, I have nothing to do.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
Gun-woo Hyung, who was waiting at the front, turned around. Feeling like he had messed up, Tae-kyung quickly made excuses.
“Ah, I heard that PD Jeong Ji-seok is strict…”
“It’s okay, Tae-kyung. You’re doing well.”
Gun-woo Hyung told the younger members as if it wasn’t a big deal.
“Guys, let’s just do as much as we practiced. You’re all going to be incredibly cool.”
“Yes! Gun-woo Hyung!”
“Yes!”
The staff’s signal to call Sky Blue came.
“Okay, let’s go!”
Contrary to his worries, the members finished the rehearsal well without being too nervous.
Everything went so smoothly that it seemed like everyone had memories of the past.
After twelve hours, they stood on the live stage.
This debut stage was different from the past.
The cheers of the fans filling the fan seats could be heard clearly, and the members soared as if they had wings.
Tae-kyung filled the stage, thinking about his promise to the fans to shine together.
At that moment, he didn’t think about the worries that plagued him, or Sung Se-han’s face, or anything else.
However, the breeze that tickled his heart was still blowing.
Warmly. And painfully.

All the Sky Blue members are handsome, it’s good that another visual group has come out lol
Guys, I was so impressed by Sky Blue’s debut stage that I made gifs for the first time in a million years
⌎Who’s the black-haired guy going up on the desk in the middle? The guy with the bandage on his face looks like a delinquent.
That’s Tae-kyung, but his personality is definitely not delinquent-like.
Lol misunderstanding, no no. I asked because it’s my type lol. I love the pale face and the charismatic eyes lololol.
How tall is Tae-kyung?
⌎Officially 181, but he looks taller
⌎There’s a bit of a difference between him and Sung Se-han
⌎It’s the perfect difference lololol
⌎Please tell me what’s so perfect about it
⌎Damn, disgusting
⌎Tae-kyung fans’ level lololol
⌎Damn
Sitting on the bed, Tae-kyung opened the entertainment bulletin board and quickly closed it.
He saw the words “Tae-kyung fans” a lot, and it seemed like he was getting cursed at from all directions, although he didn’t know the exact reason.
“Wow… my heart is pounding.”
Jeong-min, who had been lying down and looking at his phone, raised his head.
“Tae-kyung Hyung, you don’t have to be scared for no reason. Those weird comments are just people who don’t care who’s a fan and just curse for no reason.”
“Ah… is that so?”
Suddenly, Jeong-min jumped up and sat down.
“But wherever I go, there’s the most talk about Hyung. Why are you the most popular? I’m jealous!”
“That’s because of Se-han. You know that…”
Jeong-min, who had gotten out of bed, grumbled as he left the room.
“That won’t do. I need to let people know that I’m close with Se-han Hyung too.”
As Jeong-min left and the door closed, silence fell. Tae-kyung held his phone and bit his lip.
He hadn’t heard from Sung Se-han for two days.
He must have watched their team’s live stage today. Couldn’t he at least send a text?
He also wanted to be congratulated on their song’s performance, which was holding up well in the top 100…
Thinking about this and that, he ended up searching for Sung Se-han.
Wasn’t it only natural to be curious and concerned when the guy who always told him his schedule in advance suddenly didn’t contact him?
“I’ll just look up what he did today…”
He felt like he wouldn’t be able to sleep unless he knew at least that much about what he had done today.
Combining the articles and posts that popped up, it seemed like Perfect Puzzle had a group schedule today.
Articles continued to report that they had been invited to the concert of senior Oh Min-hyuk, one of Korea’s representative ballad singers, and had enjoyed it.
He continued to scroll down until his finger stopped at a certain point.
It was a photo of senior Oh Min-hyuk and Perfect Puzzle taken together in the waiting room. Sung Se-han and Roy, who were the tallest among the members, were standing at the very back, so their expressions were not clearly visible.
He hurriedly searched for senior Oh Min-hyuk’s Instagram account.
As expected, there were three more photos besides the one that had been posted in the article. He kept looking at one photo where Sung Se-han’s face was very visible.
Sung Se-han was wearing a casual jacket that suited his broad, square shoulders and smiling with his eyes.
“This guy is really ridiculous.”
Where had the eyes that had seemed like they had gone crazy gone? He was smiling so prettily next to his senior.
As if he had completely forgotten about last night when he had pounced on Tae-kyung to kiss him.
It wasn’t his will that made him jump out of bed.
When he came to his senses, his restless feet were pacing around the room.
“Ah, damn it. Why am I so angry?”
He couldn’t suppress the feeling of anxiety that made his head feel hot.
The guy who had made him such a mess was living well without any harm. And then, whenever he felt like it, he would come and throw him into confusion again.
He stopped pacing around the room. His phone was vibrating on the bed.
He had already talked to Mom and Tae-min in the evening, so the only person who would call him at this time was Sung Se-han.
He moved his creaking legs and approached the bed. The moment he confirmed Sung Se-han’s name on the screen, his heart dropped.
Sung Se-han was calling him right now. The fact that he felt dizzy just from that showed how pathetic he was.
“This isn’t right.”
It was a phrase that came out of his mouth dozens or hundreds of times a day.
This can’t be. This isn’t right.
I have to stay away from Sung Se-han until my messed-up head returns to normal, even a little bit.
That’s the only way I can live properly.
I picked up my phone and turned it off. My hand trembled slightly.
From the start, I shouldn’t have done things like hugging Sung Se-han.
No matter how much pressure I felt from the Status Window, how could I allow him to kiss my neck? I was already out of my mind from that moment on.
There’s no need to blame Sung Se-han.
Even if it wasn’t just the Status Window but the Status Window’s Grandfather, I wouldn’t have allowed anyone to kiss me if it wasn’t Sung Se-han.
It’s all my fault for being so strange.
“What did Sung Se-han do wrong?”
If he did anything wrong, it would only be that he was born with such outstandingly beautiful features that even I, a man, was captivated.
I’m just a crazy bastard for lecherously ogling my friend’s body while pretending to watch his fancam.
“I need to come to my senses.”
It was the millionth time I’d repeated those words.
