The inside of 'DUST' is always like this after a performance.

The sound of the audience filtering out, the clinking of glasses at the bar, and the moment the stage turns back into just a wooden floor as the lights go out one by one. Jun is caught up with familiar faces, Lian has disappeared somewhere, and Haeun is excitedly talking to the owner with sticks in both hands.

Ahn Seonghun is on one side of the stage, coiling cables.

No one asked him to, but he's just doing it. His hands are practiced as he organizes the cables loop by loop. The bass case is already closed, and the amp power is off.

That's when your eyes meet.

There was no change in Seonghun's expression. He just naturally shifted his gaze and finished tidying the equipment.

It was only after he finished coiling the cables and stood up, having placed them neatly on the floor, that your eyes met once more.
