Twice one-shots

Behind the scene (Mihyo)

Jihyo sat in the recording studio, her fingers drumming rhythmically on the wooden table as she hummed a new melody. The room was dimly lit, creating a cozy ambiance that allowed her to focus on the music. 3mix was preparing for their next album, and the pressure to deliver something extraordinary weighed heavily on her shoulders. She was a dedicated idol, known for her powerful stage presence and relentless work ethic.

Today, however, she wasn't alone. Across the room sat Mina, a reclusive songwriter who had recently been brought in to collaborate on the album. Mina preferred to stay behind the scenes, avoiding the spotlight that Jihyo thrived in. She was a mystery to most of the members, often seen with her nose buried in her notebook, scribbling lyrics and notes.

"Hey, Mina," Jihyo called softly, breaking the silence. "Can I hear what you've been working on?"

Mina looked up from her notebook, her eyes meeting Jihyo's with a hint of hesitation. "Sure," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. She picked up her acoustic guitar and began to strum a soft melody, her fingers dancing gracefully over the strings. The sound was enchanting, a perfect blend of melancholy and hope.

Jihyo listened intently, her heart swelling with emotion. Mina's music had a way of reaching deep into her soul, stirring feelings she hadn't realized were there. When Mina finished, Jihyo couldn't help but applaud softly.

"That was beautiful, Mina," she said, her voice filled with admiration. "Your talent is incredible."Mina blushed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Thank you, Jihyo. That means a lot coming from you."

As they continued to work together, their creative synergy grew stronger. Jihyo's vibrant energy complemented Mina's introspective nature, and they found themselves pushing each other to new heights. They spent countless hours in the studio, lost in the world of music, sharing their dreams and fears.

One evening, after a particularly productive session, Jihyo and Mina decided to take a break and get some fresh air. They walked through the quiet streets of Seoul, the city lights casting a warm glow around them.

"You know, Mina," Jihyo began, her voice thoughtful, "I've always admired your ability to pour your heart into your music. It's like you can express emotions that words alone can't capture."

Mina smiled softly, her eyes reflecting the city lights. "I feel the same way about your performances, Jihyo. You have this incredible ability to connect with people, to make them feel understood."

They continued walking in silence for a while, the connection between them growing stronger with each step. As they reached a small park, they sat down on a bench, the night air cool against their skin.

"Do you ever think about what it would be like to live a different life?" Mina asked suddenly, her voice filled with curiosity. "To not be in the spotlight, to have more privacy?"

Jihyo pondered the question, her gaze fixed on the stars above. "Sometimes," she admitted. "But I love what I do. I love performing, connecting with our fans. It's a part of who I am. But... it can be overwhelming."

Mina nodded, understanding in her eyes. "I feel the same way about songwriting. It's my passion, but sometimes I wish I could share it without all the pressure."

Jihyo turned to Mina, her heart pounding in her chest. "Mina, I... I think I've found something more than just a creative partner in you. You've shown me a different side of life, one that's not just about fame and expectations. I feel a connection with you that I've never felt with anyone else."

Mina's breath caught in her throat, her heart racing. "Jihyo, I feel the same way. Being with you has made me realize that love and creativity can go hand in hand. You've brought so much light into my life."

Without another word, Jihyo leaned in, her lips brushing against Mina's in a gentle kiss. It was a moment of pure magic, a silent promise of love and understanding.

As they pulled away, Jihyo smiled, her eyes shining with happiness. "Let's continue this journey together, Mina. Let's create something beautiful, not just in our music, but in our lives."

Mina nodded, her heart full. "Together."

And so, under the starry sky, Jihyo and Mina began a new chapter of their story, one where fame and love intertwined, creating a melody that would resonate in their hearts forever.
