Butterfly Effect | Han Taesan

9.

The new semester started not long after and Saneul was wandering through campus one afternoon, trying to clear her mind after a full day of lectures, when she heard music blasting from one of the practice studios. Curious, she followed the sound and peeked through the window to see Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan and a few other dancers practicing an energetic routine.

Recognising the three boys, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to enter the studio. As she opened the door, the music paused, and Taesan looked up, surprised but pleased to see her.

"Saneul? What brings you here?" Jaehyun asked, swiping sweat from his forehead.

"I heard music and got curious," she replied, smiling. "Looks like you guys are working hard."

"Yeah, we're preparing for the school's annual summer music festival," Taesan explained. "These are our other members, Riwoo, Woonhak, Sungho, and well you have already met Leehan last time."

Each of them greeted her warmly, making her feel welcome. Suddenly a sweaty Jaehyun approached her tired, wanting his usual hugs from her. Alarmed by the sudden leaking human, she started running away from him, wanting to avoid being covered in his sweat.

"Sannie don't run away from meeee!" Jaehyun whined, making all his friends laugh at his usual antics as they stared at the two friends running around. Only one person can save her now.

"Stay away from me! Help meee!" Saneul yelled out running to hide behind Taesan and Leehan.

The two boys looked behind to see her hiding from the sweaty human puppy and decided to help her out by chasing after Jaehyun.

"THIS IS BETRAYAL!" a screaming Jaehyun yelled as he was being chased down by two guys he once considered friends.

After hanging around for a while, the boys resumed their practice, and Saneul watched, impressed by their coordination and energy. After a while, Riwoo suggested they take a break, and they all sat down, chatting and laughing.
