“What did you do wrong? Spit it out.”

“I… didn’t clean up after eating ramen yesterday….”

“That must be it. Let’s apologize properly when we get back.”

“What do you guys think Hoyun is?”

Seong Jiwon muttered in disbelief.

Among them, only Kang Ichae was unusually quiet today.

He rested his chin on his knees, staring intently at the TV.

As the Acting Awards continued, and the New Actor Award speech was being given, Min Jiheon’s face briefly appeared before moving to another actor.

Hmm.

Kang Ichae spat out the bone he had cleanly eaten.

In contrast to Seo Hoyun, who had been walking around the dorm with a refreshing expression these past few days, something seemed to bother Kang Ichae.

Drama… Min Jiheon. Seo Hoyun.

Seo Hoyun passed it off nonchalantly without saying anything, but Kang Ichae still vividly remembered that day.

And the hyperventilation.

That moment for Seo Hoyun reminded him of a scene from the past, turning into something Kang Ichae couldn’t just let go.

It’s confusing.

“Ichae, how about we drink while we watch this?”

At Seong Jiwon’s question, Kang Ichae reflexively smiled brightly and nodded.

“Sounds good~.”

“I’ll go get it.”

“Uh! What about me?”

Turning his head slowly, Seong Jiwon asked gently,

“Dajun, do you wanna say it again?”

“I turn of age in two days…?”

“Uh-huh?”

“…”

“…”

“…Soda.”

“Ahaha, okay.”

Jeong Dajun, on the verge of adulthood, could not overcome the formidable wall of Seong Jiwon and sipped his soda with a gloomy expression.

It was expected.

Lately, even Seo Hoyun was feeling a bit hesitant around Seong Jiwon.

By the time the rest of the members had drunk enough beer to get slightly tipsy, Seo Hoyun was finally announced as the winner of the New Star Award.

– “Despite it being his first work, he has shown an impressive performance. The New Star Award goes to Seo Hoyun! Congratulations!”

“Ah, do they pick up to five people for the New Star?”

“That’s right. I heard they include idols sometimes.”

“Ah~, I see.”

The five awardees stood in a line, each taking turns to give their acceptance speech. Seo Hoyun was the last.

– “Hello, I’m Seo Hoyun.”

“Wow, he really sounds like an actor.”

“Is hyung going to continue acting?”

“He said he absolutely hates it.”

“Eeeh?!”

– “I’m truly grateful to receive the New Star Award for my first work.”
