Euphoria- Park Jong-Seong || ON HOLD ||

CH: 19

The practice room was bustling with energy. Everyone was working hard, sweat dripping as they perfected their routines. But among the chaos, one dynamic had become everyone's favorite source of entertainment-Anushka and Heeseung.

For the past three days, Anushka had been treating Heeseung like her personal assistant. As qhat they gad played the game of the staring competition but Heeseung failed and if he would have failed, he would be her assistant. It started as a joke after she kicked him in her sleep, but somehow, it had escalated into a full-fledged role.

"Heeseung, pass me my water bottle."

"Heeseung, adjust the AC."

"Heeseung, get my hoodie "

And Heeseung, despite grumbling and pouting, always did as he was told.

The other participants found it hilarious. Even the staff and viewers online were hooked on their dynamic.

Comments flooded in under practice videos:

.

"Anushka really made Heeseung her assistant LOL."

"Their dynamic is so funny, I can't-"

"Heeseung, blink twice if you need help."

"Wait, why do they actually look cute together?"

.

Some fans even started shipping them with the name of their ship name as AnuHee, HeeKa also HeeBi with her korean name.

But neither Anushka nor Heeseung had any idea about it.

However, not everyone found it amusing.

Some of the boys felt a strange uneasiness watching Heeseung trail after Anushka.

They weren't sure why, but they didn't like it.

Maybe it was irritation, possessiveness, or something else entirely.

Jay, in particular, was starting to feel... something.

Restlessness. Discomfort. A feeling he couldn't name.

But he brushed it off.

Midpoint Check

The door to the practice room suddenly swung open, and two figures stepped in.

Bang Si-hyuk's producer, one of BTS's choreographers and Rain.

Immediately, the room fell silent, everyone standing straight as they walked in. The pressure was real.

"We're here for the midpoint check," Rain said, his eyes scanning the trainees.

The choreographer crossed his arms. "Who are in the vocal and dance teams?"

The trainees raised their hands, stepping forward.

The BTS producer, already aware of most of the team placements, nodded. "Alright, let's see what you've got so far. Vocal team first."

All eyes turned as the vocal unit got ready.

Anushka stood between Heeseung and Geonu.

The soft music began, and Heeseung started first.

Their performance was graceful, their voices blending beautifully. Heeseung's smooth vocals filled the room, followed by Geonu's deep, steady tone.

Anushka's voice, as expected, was powerful and full of emotion-but every now and then, it cracked slightly.
