The Tension Builds – The Love Triangle Begins!
Joon was mentally preparing himself for the group performance when the door to the practice room slammed open.
Enter: Mirae, the ultimate drama queen.
She smiled brightly at everyone, especially Joon. "Oh, you made it through the solo evaluation alive, huh?"
Joon, trying to act cool: "Just a warm-up for my real talent."
Mirae: "I think you did well. But you know, Minho-hyung helped you, right?"
Joon froze.
"I'm just saying, I could totally help you with your next solo if you want..." Mirae trailed off, eyes sparkling.
Joon felt the entire room freeze.
Jaesoo: "This is it. The drama is about to start."
Bora: "Wait for it... This is the moment I live for."

The Confession
While Joon tried to process Mirae's subtle flirtation, Minho walked in. He looked at Mirae, then at Joon. The tension in the air was thicker than a Bollywood movie plot.
Minho: "What's going on here?"
Joon: "Nothing, hyung, nothing at all."
Mirae smiled sweetly. "Oh, don't worry, Minho-hyung. I was just telling Joon-oppa how much I admire his talent."
Joon, who was starting to sweat under the pressure: "Yeah, she's super nice, right? So generous with her—uh—help!"
Minho stared at them both, his eyes narrowing. "Right."

Mission: Stay Out of Love Drama
Joon tried to focus on his group dance practice, but his mind kept wandering to Mirae's words. What was happening? Was she just being nice? Or was it… something more?
Was there a love triangle forming?
The music started, and everyone gathered to practice the choreography. Joon kept getting distracted—by Mirae's bright smile, Minho's cold stares, and Bora's occasional side-eye.
The group danced in perfect sync. Except for Joon.
Joon missed a beat.
Bora stopped mid-step. "Joon! Focus! The drama can wait."
Joon muttered, "It's hard to focus when my life is turning into a soap opera."

After Practice: The Heart-to-Heart with Minho
That evening, Joon was sitting alone in the break room when Minho walked in.
Minho: "We need to talk."
Joon gulped. "What's up, hyung?"
Minho sat down. "You know Mirae likes you, right?"
Joon blinked. "Wait, what?"
Minho: "Don't act surprised. I saw her flirt with you earlier."
Joon: "No, it's not like that!"
Minho raised an eyebrow. "You really don't see it? You're an idiot."
Joon: "I—I just want to focus on the training, hyung. And honestly, I didn't even think anyone liked me."
Minho: "Well, you're wrong."

Joon's Inner Monologue
Joon sighed. His brain was on fire. Mirae, the beautiful and talented trainee, had feelings for him. And now, Minho, the icy and flawless hyung, seemed to have some weird possessiveness over him. What was going on?!
Joon had never thought he'd be stuck in a love triangle—he'd always thought it would be something out of a high school drama.
And yet here he was, caught between a flirty Mirae and a confused Minho.
"Great. Just great," Joon muttered to himself. "Why can't my life be simple, like some K-drama?"

The Next Drama
The next day at practice, Mirae made her move.
She casually leaned next to Joon, her fingers brushing his arm. "So, Joon-oppa, maybe after practice we can grab a coffee? Just the two of us?"
Joon swallowed hard. "Uh, I don't know... I mean, I—"
Before he could finish, Minho appeared.
He looked at Mirae, then at Joon. His eyes were cold, but there was something more—was it jealousy?
Minho: "Coffee? Joon's busy today. He needs to focus on the group dance."
Mirae smiled sweetly. "Don't worry, Minho-hyung. I'll take good care of him."
Minho: "I'm sure you will." His voice was flat.
Joon blinked. This wasn't just a love triangle. This was the beginning of an epic battle for his heart.
