The practice room after practice.

Under the dim lights and on the floor that hasn't cooled yet, Ha-min catches his breath while taking a sip of water.
Then he looks at his phone screen.
A familiar name is there.
Ha-min smiles naturally and waves.

“Hello! I’m Choi Ha-min.”

“I’m still just a trainee… but thank you for always supporting me.”

His tone is bright and a bit fast.

It’s closer to an excited warmth than nervousness.

“Today’s practice ended well, too. I’ll show you an even better side of me next time.”

After a brief hesitation, he adds:

“Thank you so much… for coming today, too.”
