Na-ra sat in the art club, focused on her latest portrait. The soothing sound of brushes on canvas filled the room as club members chatted and worked on their pieces. Na-ra enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, feeling at ease in the creative space.
Taehyung lingered near Na-ra in the art club room, captivated by her every move. He watched her paint with such focus and whispered, "You're so beautiful, Na-ra, that my heart hurts just looking at you."
The door swung open, and Soo-jin, the club leader, entered with a new face beside her. "Hey, everyone! I'd like you to meet our newest member, Hee-jin," Soo-jin announced cheerfully.
Hee-jin waved confidently. "Hi, everyone! I'm excited to be here and get to know all of you."
The club members, including Na-ra, greeted her warmly. "Welcome, Hee-jin!" Na-ra said with a friendly smile.
Hee-jin exuded an air of confidence, almost overly so. Her demeanor was friendly and open, and she seemed to blend effortlessly into the group. As they all returned to their work, Hee-jin moved around the room, admiring everyone's art and offering compliments.
"You all have such amazing talent! I'm really looking forward to learning from you," she said with enthusiasm.
The club members appreciated her positive energy, and the room buzzed with a sense of camaraderie. But as Na-ra watched Hee-jin, a small voice in her head whispered that not everything might be as it seemed. The surface shone brightly, but what lay beneath? Na-ra couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Hee-jin than met the eye.
As the session continued, Na-ra tried to push the thought aside, focusing on the vibrant colors of her painting. Yet, deep down, she knew that beneath Hee-jin's confident facade, something else might be lurking, waiting to be uncovered.
Ji-eun nudged Na-ra with her elbow, leaning closer to whisper. "What do you think of Hee-jin? She seems nice, but don't you think she's a bit too confident?"
Na-ra nodded slightly, whispering back, "I was just thinking the same thing. There's something about her... I can't quite put my finger on it."
Jin-woo, who had been quietly working at the nearby table, suddenly appeared beside them, speaking in a low voice. "I have the same feeling. She seems... different."
Na-ra and Ji-eun both jumped, startled by Jin-woo's sudden presence. Ji-eun scowled at him, whisper-yelling, "Jin-woo, you scared the life out of us! Why are you sneaking around like that?"
Jin-woo raised his hands defensively. "Sorry, sorry! I just wanted to join the conversation."
Na-ra giggled, while Ji-eun rolled her eyes, muttering a few choice words under her breath. Jin-woo retreated slightly, a sheepish grin on his face, and the three of them shared a knowing glance, all equally curious about their new club member.
