In Another Life

Music Festival Announcement

As the morning dawned, Jungsu found himself immersed in his Twitter feed, where he stumbled upon a tweet from Jiseok and Jooyeon discussing their plans to attend medical school. Jooyeon expressed his contentment and happiness, which prompted Jungsu to let out a heavy sigh. Feeling a sense of melancholy, he took to his private account to share his thoughts, noting that at least one of them was content. Meanwhile, Minhwan took to his own account to vent his frustrations about Jungsu's reluctance to move on from Jooyeon.

After a short period of time, Jungsu finally arrived at the familiar band practice room. The sound of drums echoed through the hallways, gradually growing louder and more distinct as he approached. The moment he swung open the door, the booming rhythm engulfed him, filling the room with its energetic beat.

As soon as he walked in, everyone came to a halt. Gunil, who was positioned behind the drum set, acknowledged him with a nod, while Hyeongjun, who was strumming his guitar, also paused to acknowledge his presence. Even Seungmin, who was busy tapping away at the synthesizer, momentarily stopped what he was doing to acknowledge him.

Jungsu noticed Minhwan sitting in the corner, engrossed in his phone. With a friendly exclamation, he stood up and approached him. "Hey! "Smiling warmly, Jungsu returned the greeting and set his belongings down.

Minhwan greeted Jungsu and noticed his weary appearance. "How are you, Jungsu? You look a little tired," prompting him to inquire about his well-being.

Jungsu admitted that he didn't get much rest the previous night: "I didn't have a lot of sleep last night," although he kept quiet about the emotional breakdown he had experienced earlier.

Minhwan's face contorted into a frown as he directed his concern towards Jungsu: "You should take care of yourself, Jungsu, or else I'll get mad," urging him to prioritize self-care. He warned Jungsu that if he continued to neglect his well-being, it would anger him.

In response, Jungsu nonchalantly rolled his eyes at Minhwan's words and affectionately tousled his hair. Jungsu assured the person not to be concerned about him and accompanied his words with a warm smile, conveying his confidence and reassurance.

"Hey Jungsu. Have you seen Jooyeon's tweets? I mean, he was handsome before, but now he's handsome and sexy!" Gunil said while pointing his phone at Jungsu. This is what he saw. Jungsu responded with annoyance, exclaiming that he was well aware of the situation and that there was no need for the other person to constantly remind him of it in such a forceful manner. As he rolled his eyes in frustration, he dismissed the person's phone and pushed it away from him.

Seungmin visited Gunil to inspect him and remarked, "Wow, Jungsu, you made a huge mistake letting such a handsome man slip away." Jungsu was taken aback by Seungmin's bold statement, as his eyes widened in surprise.

Minhwan, with a hint of anger in his voice, addressed Jooyeon, acknowledging the unfortunate outcome he faced as a result of his decision to let Jungsu go and labeling it as a foolish move on his part. Observing this conversation unfold, Jungsu couldn't help but display a puzzled expression, his eyebrows furrowing in response to Minhwan's words.

"Hey, that's enough! Come on, Jooyeon isn't stupid," Jungsu said loudly and quietly, making Minhwan flinch in his position. "I'm sorry, please stop scolding him." Jungsu continued and moved away out of sight. "Come on, let's start practicing," Jungsu said, and he started focusing on the keyboard.
