🎤 | I -LAND

When I joined I-LAND, everyone was surprised. I was the only girl among so many trainees, and I soon began to notice curious stares.

"Wow, she's the only girl here..." I heard someone say.

— And she's very beautiful. She must be a great idol.

I blushed immediately. I was extremely shy, so I didn't know how to react when the boys started approaching me. One wanted to train with me, another sat next to me at mealtimes, and there was always someone trying to get my attention.

But one person seemed bothered by it: Heeseung.

He wasn't shy like me. He always showed up by my side with a confident smile.

"You blush very easily," he said, amused.

— P-for…

The more time we spent together, the faster my heart felt when I was near him.

One day, while I was talking to one of the boys, Heeseung appeared and stood next to me. When the boy tried to continue the conversation, Heeseung answered before I could.

She needs to rest a little.

Later, when we were alone, I mustered the courage to ask:

Were you jealous?

Heeseung smiled and moved a little closer.

• Perhaps.

My face turned completely red.

• Why?

He looked directly at me.

Because I like it when you pay attention to me.

My heart raced. I lowered my gaze, unable to answer.

Heeseung just chuckled softly.

And at that moment, I began to realize that, amidst all the dreams and training at I-LAND, perhaps he and I were starting to feel something special.
