Sitting on the small bleachers of the training room for acting. Yukta paid attention to the trainers that stood in front of her. She watched as they demonstrated a heartbreaking scene in front of the trainees.

The acting trainers, Lila Blackthorne, and Ahn Daeho, we're acting out a break-up scene. Unlike most of the scenes, Yukta has watched on Dramas. They both had great talent but what really stood out to her was the chemistry between the two. The trainers had a tension between the two that made the heartbreak scene feel so real. It felt so real. It was like there was only two of them in the room and they weren't just acting it out in front of a group of trainees.

"So do you think they are together?" A trainee behind Yukta had whispered to someone, a tinge of curiosity and excitement mixed within.

"No way," another girl had answered back, sounding as if she thought the other was dumb. " Didn't you see the Vlive? Aveline said that Daeho Sunbaenim adores CEO Mo, He's probably with her."

"But look at the chemistry between him and—" before the trainee stopped as she heard someone clearing their throat, both girls looked up to see Yukta staring at the both of them.

"I'm sorry," Yukta began, with a sweet innocent voice attached, "but I'm trying to pay attention, so could you please be quiet." The girls behind her quickly quieted themselves, and Yukta gave them a sweet smile before turning back to examine the scene in front of her. The scene had turned from a quiet fight to a shouting match between the two.

"Would you look at yourself!" Lila had screamed at Daeho, her voice was thunderous and echoed throughout the room. Her body was shaking and looked as if it might collapse any second. Her eyes were glassy, it looked as if tears were brimming around her eyes. "It's always been about you! I've stood beside you since forever yet you still had chosen her over me!"

"No, please—" Daeho has begun to plead to her, his movements were sluggish as if still processing what was happening, but his movements were still bold but lacked confidence. He was then was cut off by Lila, her voice was cracking, only now her stance was firm, her eyes were now filled with determination.

"Y-you will stay away from m-me now," Lila stuttered before a sob came out of her throat. "Do you h-hear me? You will n-not come near me now." Before even giving Daeho the chance to reply, she had turned and walked to the other side of the training room.

The scene had officially ended and all the trainees that sat on the bleachers to give them a round of applause. Both Lila and Daeho now were in the middle of the room, looking satisfied with the scene they had just performed.

Lila has clapped her hands gathering the attention of all the trainees. They were now all silent waiting for the trainers to speak.

"Can anyone tell me what about the scene made it seem real to you?" Lila had asked with a smile on her face, her voice was light and seemed cheerful enough. No trainee had raised their hand or had spoken out, leaving both Lila and Daeho with a frown.

"You," Daeho had said, seemly out of nowhere. All the trainees held their breath, wondering which one of them he had called out. "The one with the blue shirt with a floral pattern."

All the trainees turn to see which trainee he had chosen to answer the question. Yukta held her breath as she realized he called on her. Her heart was pounding but trying to impress the trainers, she lifted her head up and said with a strong and clear voice.
