HERA arrived at VIVACITY International Airport, steeping off the plane. She saw flashing 📸 and excited shout drew her attention towards the crowd .They were surrounded by a throng of fans , and they stood eight attractive guys.
Could it be ? HERA quickened as she realized it was them - the heartthrobs of boy band - HEBOZ. Her eyes locked with one of the members, his gaze briefly meeting hers before a dazzling smile swept across his face. In that electrifying moment, HERA felt(🦋 )a thrill course through her.
Was this the start of something extraordinary?
HERA goes to her apartment and talks to her landlady.
Ms.LEE : "Welcome home, Hera! I'm so happy to finally meet you. Come on in, come in!"
Hera: (Stepping inside) "Thank you, Ms. Lee. It's lovely to meet you too."
Ms. LEE: "Let's get you settled. Kitchen's this way – nice little breakfast nook, perfect for morning coffee. And this cosy space here is the living room."
Hera: "It's charming! Lots of natural light."
Ms. LEE: "Sunshine's my favourite amenity. Two bedroom – spacious closet, and little balcony "
HERA :I love it !
Ms. LEE: "Perfect for a cup of tea and a good book. Now, any questions about the apartment or the building?"
Hera: "Actually, yes – who is my roommate?
Ms.LEE: Her name is YUJIN .she's a kind girl
Hera: "Perfect. Thank you so much for everything, Ms.LEE
Ms.LEE: "Please, call me YENJI ! And if you need anything at all, don't hesitate to knock on my door – it's right down . My apartment no. Is 3. Welcome to the building, Hera!"
HERA settles down in her room.she goes to the near convenience store.
She goes in and takes needy things .
She saw some guy, she kind of felt suspicious, then she didn't look and think maybe she misunderstood.
Suddenly, HERA was startled by the hand grab, but then recognized the popular guy from the airport.
This could lead to confusion - why the secrecy?
Then the popular guy tells her that he's from the boy band- leader 'HEBOZ'.
HERA said she knew.
Before he could say something HERA
Hera lashed out with her foot, connecting with HA -JOON shin. He yelped and stumbled back, releasing her wrist.
"Don't touch me!" she shouted, her voice shaking.
HA- JOON doubled over, clutching her hands.(he said to her. " HEY ,listen to me it's not what you think. "
HERA didn't wait to hear more.shoved him with all the might .
She goes as fast as she can .
Later:
Hera was safe back in her apartment, but the encounter with HA JOON gnawed at her. Maybe he wasn't a threat, but something was wrong. The desperation in his voice, the way he looked...
She couldn't ignore it. But how could she help him without putting herself at risk?
This is just the beginning.
* What kind of help does HA JOON need?
* Did Hera misjudge the situation?
* Will they meet again?
HERA in her room thinking about HA JOON.,
Knock knock..
HERA opened the door 🚪.
(Conversation Between HERA AND YUJIN)
YUJIN: Hi! You must be Hera. I'm Yujin, your
roommate.
HERA: Hi Yujin, nice to meet you!
YUJIN: Great! Let me help you with your bags.
HERA: Thanks, that's really nice of you.
YUJIN: Do you like this place ?
HERA : YEAH ! it's good.can I ask you something?
YUJIN:Why not ? Ask me
HERA : What are you doing for a living ?
YUJIN: WELL,I'm a manager in the company.
HERA : OH, I SEE
YUJIN: You looked pale . Did some happen?
HERA : NO, I'm just tired .
YUJIN: OK, NOW YOU SLEEP, OK WE ARE GONNA TALK TOMORROW.
HERA: OK,good night 🌙. It was nice meeting you.
YUJIN : night night, sweet dreams.
Next morning.
YUJIN : WAKE up Hera, it's morning 🌄. You have to go , it's your first day , you gonna be late,
HERA : OH, sorry , I sleep overtime. If I have to go for "WELL WORLD COMPANY " , which bus should I take ?
YUJIN : You are learning music (training)
In that company.
HERA: Yeah , is something wrong.
YUJIN: No, I'm working in that company.ok I'm gonna shower in 5 min, and then we both go .is it OK with you ?
HERA : Yeah , thank you.
They both go in WWC (WELL WORLD COMPANY).
YUJIN, tell HERA " ALL THE BEST , DO YOUR BEST, AND CALL ME IF YOU NEED SOMETHING, I'M WORKING 3RD FLOOR Mangment Department okay .
HERA go in 7th floor , to training.
The 7th floor of WELL WORLD COMPANY was buzzing with energy. Hera stood at the entrance of the trainee room, her heart pounding like a drumbeat in her chest. The polished floor reflected the soft lights above, and walls echoed with distant vocals and footwork rhythms. This was it—the beginning of her dream.
Voice from behind: "You must be Hera, the new trainee?"
HERA turned to see a tall woman with sharp eyes and a headset. Her expression was serious, but there was a hint of kindness in her tone.
TRAINER KIM: "I'm Trainer KIM. Welcome. Warm up quickly—class starts in ten."
HERA: "Yes, thank you!"
As Hera hurried to stretch, she glanced around. Other trainees were already dancing or rehearsing lines. She felt like a small fish in a sea of talent but steeled herself. I've worked hard to get here. I'm not backing down now.
Meanwhile… on the 3rd floor.
YUJIN sat at her desk in the management department, flipping through profiles. Her phone buzzed. A message from an unknown number flashed:
"You need to keep an eye on your new roommate. Don't let her get too close to HA-JOON."
Yujin's eyes narrowed. What is this supposed to mean?
Back in the training room, Hera was sweating through choreography drills. Her limbs ached, but her spirit was on fire. She stayed late after class, practicing alone. That's when she heard a soft clink behind her.
She turned—and froze.
HA-JOON stood in the doorway, hood up, looking exhausted but determined.
HA-JOON: "Please, don't scream or kick me this time."
HERA: "What are you doing here?! You followed me?!"
HA-JOON: "No! I… I work here. Listen, I didn't mean to scare you last night."
Hera's expression softened just a little. She remembered his words—the desperation in his voice.( Hera just remember that her favourite boy group are in same company)
HERA: "Then explain. Why grab me? Why all the secrecy?"
HA-JOON looked over his shoulder before stepping in and shutting the door quietly.
HA-JOON: "Someone's watching me. I can't talk freely. I saw you at the airport and... I thought I could trust you."
HERA: "Trust me? Why?"
HA-JOON: "Because you looked at me like I was human… not like a star. I need someone help".
HERA's heart skipped. She didn't fully trust him yet—but something told her this wasn't just drama.
Before she could answer, a sharp knock startled them both.
TRAINER KIM (outside the door): "Hera? Who are you talking to?"
HA-JOON's eyes widened. "I have to go. Please… think about what I said."
He slipped out the side exit just as Trainer Kim entered.
TRAINER KIM: "You okay?"
HERA (nodding): "Yeah… I'm fine."
But she wasn't. Her mind was spinning. Why was HA-JOON being watched? What kind of help did he need? And could she risk getting involved?
After a long and exhausting day, Hera finally leaves the training center. Her body aches, but her mind is buzzing. The strange warning from Ha-Joon still lingers in her thoughts.
She unlocks the front door
But when she steps inside, a soft voice startles her.
Woori (smiling gently): "Oh—hi. You must be Hera."
Hera freezes in the doorway. A girl about her age stands in the living room, neatly dressed, with long black hair and a calm presence. She's unpacking a small suitcase.
Hera (confused): "Yeah… and you are?"
Woori: "I'm Woori.
Woori extends a hand, and Hera shakes it hesitantly. Something about her feels... too polite. Too perfect. But Hera shrugs the feeling off—maybe she's just tired and paranoid after everything with Ha-Joon.
Hera: "Nice to meet you. Yujin didn't mention anything."
Woori (tilting her head, curious): "She didn't? Maybe she forgot. I go vietnam for holiday with my younger sister
Later that night, Hera lies in bed, eyes open, unable to sleep. Woori is already fast asleep.
Next Morning 🌄
Sunlight streams through the soft curtains of the dorm apartment. The kitchen is quiet except for the gentle clinking of dishes. Hera moves around softly, careful not to wake Woori, who's still asleep in the next room.
Hera (surprised): "You're usually come home late ?."
YUJIN : "Yeah I have so much work to do." How was yesterday? It was good?
HERA : Yeah good.Hera: "Woori seems really nice. I didn't expect to have two roommates.
YUJIN: Woori's easy to live with.
Yujin takes a sip of her tea, then adds:
She's on the visual design team. Great at drawing. A bit quiet, but one of the most creative people I've seen here."
Hera: "She said she starts late. Office hours?"
Yujin: "Usually around ten or eleven. She often stays late to finish designs. You might not see her much, but she's got a good heart."
Hera nods, feeling more at ease. The silence that used to fill the apartment now feels warm, like a soft background hum of lives slowly connecting.
Yujin finishes her tea and sets the cup down.
Yujin: "By the way… if you ever need extra cash or just want something to keep your mind off stress—there's a café downstairs , i owned the cafe the name is BARISTA'S."
Hera: "Really?
Yujin: "Only if you can balance it with training. Plus, free coffee."
Hera (smiling): "That actually sounds... nice."
SOO WHO running your café now if you worked in company?
YUJIN: UMMM no one , I just opened, I wnat part time person , I thought if you have time and you could do?
HERA : I would love to help you , may I ask about your age ?
YUJIN : Yeah of course, I'm 28 years old.should we go together in our company., we are going to miss buss 🚌.
HERA : OKAY .
After 20 minute, YUJIN saw HERA her cafe ...
HERA : it's beautiful 😍.
YUJIN : You like it ..
HERA : Yeah but I don't know how to make coffee, I can serve only ..
YUJIN : NO problem ,I hired one person.

YUJIN : when you're trainee hours done? Let's talk in bus , we are running late..
HERA : 9 TO 3
YUJIN : Okay start at 5 , they boy i hired is my younger brother.
HERA : OKAY
Yujin in her desk thinking about the cryptic message. She doesn't know whether to believe it.
HA-JOON: "Hera, wait!"
HERA: You again.
HA-JOON (glancing around nervously): "I need to talk to you. It's important.
HA-JOON: "If you've taken any photos of my members, please delete them. I'll compensate you. Just... don't tell anyone."
HERA (confused): "Photos? What are you talking about?"
HA-JOON: "At the convenience store. I saw you. You had your phone out."
HERA: "I was checking messages. I didn't take any photos."
HA-JOON : "don't lie to me , i saw you , i give you money if you want ."
HERA: What? I don't know what you are talking about? Wait , why would I take photo of anyone? Even if I do it would never do anything to person or Idol who are one my favourite group.
HA-JOON : you know us?
HERA: everyone know you ...
HA-JOON : I give you money but if you tell anyone about my member with some other girl ,I will not let you go ..
HERA : I'm telling you , i didn't take any..don't ever talk about money to me , check the cameras if you want, I didn't do anything ...wait....
That's why you are ...oh..now I understand, see i didn't do anything wrong , I just help a guy at convenience store and that's it.
Don't ever come and talk to me , I don't need your money .
She left after saying this ...

Now HA-JOON confused, because there's girl who tell Ha Joon that Hera is the one who take photo ?
