ASTERYX - ENHYPEN

(The atmosphere is quiet. Sofas are scattered around, the lighting is low. The ASTERYX girls are on one side… the ENHYPEN boys on the other. Sofia is sitting silently.)

Nari: "I still can't believe this has become official news..."

Ara: "They didn't even let you breathe before posting..."

Minji: "We need to stay calm. Any reaction now could make things worse."

Yuna: "But she's been like this ever since she saw..."

Rika: "She knew this could happen... but not like this."

Park Sunghoon: "...this is my fault."

Lee Heeseung: "Don't start with that."

Sunghoon: "If I had been more careful—"

Heeseung: "It already happened. Blaming yourself won't solve anything."

Jake: "The internet is a mess... seriously."

Jay: "Some people are supportive... but others are going too far."

Sunoo: "Did she see the comments?"

Ara: "…it saw."

Nari: "And they weren't easy."

Jungwon: "The company will handle this... but you two will have to be strong."

Niki: "Hyung... are you really ready for this?"

Sunghoon: "…it doesn't matter."

Heeseung: "It does matter."

Sunghoon: "No more than her." (Silence for a few seconds.)

Minji: "Now it's not about hiding. It's about enduring."

Rika: "And don't let it break anyone."

Heeseung: "...I just want to know one thing." (The atmosphere is heavy.)

Heeseung (looking directly): "Are you going to continue with this until the end?" (Total silence. Everyone is staring.)

Sunghoon: "…I go." (No one speaks for a moment.)

Yuna (bass): "...so we'll endure it together."

Jake: "Yes."

Jay: "There's no other way."

Heeseung: "...so don't make a mistake now." (Silence again. Heavier… but different.)

Nari (trying to relieve): "...this sounds like a drama."

Ara: "It's because it became one."
