**MAMA MUSIC FESTIVAL**

Itzy was in the final stages of preparation for their highly anticipated performance. They had worked harder than ever this year, and their dedication was about to pay off with multiple award nominations. The atmosphere was electric with excitement.

Chaeryeong, needing a quick break, headed to the vending machine to grab snacks and drinks for her members. As she struggled to balance everything in her hands, a familiar voice greeted her.

"Good luck today," Taehyun said with a smile.

Chaeryeong turned, her face lighting up. "Thanks ! Good luck to you too!" she replied cheerfully.

Taehyun noticed her struggling with the food and drinks. "Here, let me help," he said, taking half of the load. But before he could fully assist, another hand swooped in and grabbed the items from him.

"Oh, Jisung oppa! What are you doing here?" Chaeryeong asked, surprised to see the NCT member looking rather irritated.

"Just came to congratulate you," Jisung said, glaring at Taehyun with barely concealed hostility.

Taehyun, sensing the tension, tried to take the snacks back, but Jisung pulled them away. "No need, I got it," Jisung said firmly.

"Well, okay then," Taehyun muttered, annoyed, handing the rest of the snacks to Jisung.

Then, without warning, Taehyun took Chaeryeong's hand, sending a jolt through her body. She looked up at him, startled. "Chaeryeong-shii, let's go practice *our* duet," Taehyun said, throwing a smirk Jisung's way.

Jisung's face hardened. "How dare you touch her!" he spat.

Chaeryeong quickly tried to intervene, "Oppa—"

But Taehyun cut in with a teasing grin. "Is she your property? Besides, this is nothing. Haven't you seen our Music Bank performance?" he said with a challenging tone.

Before Jisung could respond, Taehyun whisked Chaeryeong away, leaving him fuming.

"Aish, I really don't like that guy," Taehyun muttered under his breath as they walked toward the practice room.

"are you jealous?" Chaeryeong teased, giggling at his irritated expression.

"YES," Taehyun shot back without hesitation.

Chaeryeong blinked in surprise. She had expected him to deny it, but his straightforward answer left her momentarily speechless. She quickly looked away, her heart racing.

After practicing their intense duet one last time, they parted ways, both silently replaying the earlier moments in their heads.

**Itzy's Performance**

Itzy took to the stage, and the energy in the arena surged. They dominated the performance, lighting up the stage with their bold choreography, and the crowd went wild. Even the idols in the audience were dancing along and reacting to the impressive display.

Meanwhile, backstage, Taehyun was seething. His blood boiled at the sight of Chaeryeong performing a pole dance. "A freaking pole dance?!" he muttered angrily. His members, sitting beside him, could practically hear his heart pounding with frustration.

"Hyung, you okay?" Beomgyu asked, smirking.

Taehyun shook his head, trying to calm himself as the performance continued. But his agitation only grew.

Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for—the highly anticipated duet between Taehyun and Chaeryeong. As soon as they stepped on stage together, the crowd erupted. Cheers, screams, and squeals filled the venue, with idols and fans alike in awe of their chemistry.
