Of course, the music video shoot itself is no problem at all.

‘My filming is already finished.’

The reason I gave the buff to my teammates without hesitation and without using it myself was because I thought it would be more useful for the members who hadn’t finished filming yet.

The shoot finished safely like that, but…

It sounds a bit uncool to say this, but I’m starting to regret why I did that now.

‘Maybe I should have just used it myself.’

[Cheer up!] buff.

The power was really amazing. And it lasted long.

Until we finished filming and returned to the company to start practicing the new song in the practice room, the members started regaining their energy with all sorts of reasons like the air conditioning feels cool, the caffeine is starting to kick in now, we rested a bit, we slept in the car and feel better now, etc.

Everyone except me.

I’m still insanely exhausted.

Yeah, it’s great that the members have regained their energy like this and can concentrate on practice.

But the problem was that when the members are overflowing with energy like this, they usually practice until well past 3 AM.

To be honest, forget practice or whatever, I feel like I absolutely need to go back to the dormitory and sleep right now.

Fortunately, our members and staff are people who are sensitive to the members’ condition.

“Ji-ye, are you okay? She should go back to the dormitory early today and rest, right?”

Manager…

As expected of Manager Ji-soo.

At her words, the members who were excitedly discussing how to practice today started looking at me with concern.

I really didn’t want to skip practice right before a comeback if I could help it.

But there are times when managing your condition is more important than practice.

I just spoke honestly.

“Sorry, I think I need to practice for about an hour today and then go back to the dormitory first to rest. I’m feeling particularly tired today.”

At least you guys got the buff so you can practice until dawn, so please understand me?

Naturally, the members and staff immediately nodded and said.

“Of course. What’s more important than managing your condition? The choreography itself is already complete, so let’s just not practice today and go in to rest.”

“What about the other members? Anyone who’s really tired today shouldn’t push themselves and should rest. It’s hard to practice right after filming a music video.”

At Ji-soo’s words, the members shook their heads.

“I’m fine. I feel like I could go until dawn actually?”

“Me too.”

The effect of the buff was amazing. If I was going to give that buff anyway, I should have given just one more.

Anyway, my complexion must have looked worse than I thought because I was sent back to the dormitory without even being allowed to practice for an hour.

As expected, the members didn’t return to the dormitory until after 3 AM.

The buff usually lasts about a week, right? Then well, all the members will be in good condition for a week.

‘I just need to do well. Just me.’

Thinking that, I closed my eyes comfortably.

Let’s rest hard from now on!

Fortunately, I didn’t have the obsessive thought that practice, only practice, was the way to survive.

Right now, resting is the only answer for me.

For several days after that, I rested hard with thick skin. I felt bad for the members, but whenever I felt even a little tired, I would act dramatic and immediately go back to the dormitory to rest.

While managing my condition well like that, alternating between resting and practicing, before I knew it, news came that the music video was completed.

***

“Everyone, what’s the reason we’ve gathered here?”

At Han Da-min’s question, Min Ha-young immediately shouted.

“It’s because our new title song 【Revenge】’s music video has been completed!”

“Waaaah!”

The music video had been completed for a while, so I wondered why they weren’t showing it to us, but I guess they wanted to film our reaction video together.

‘We couldn’t do it last time.’

During 【GISS】, we were so busy with controversies and everything that all our schedules got pushed back, so we released it immediately without time to film reactions.

But this time, even though we had activities with Cael Arden scheduled, we managed our schedule as planned without any problems, and thanks to that, we had time to leisurely film content like this.

“We’re really seeing this for the very first time. Is there anyone among us who saw it first?”

“They absolutely wouldn’t show us?”

“They hid it tight.”

“I actually just found out it was completed.”

“Hey, that’s a bit much.”

The members chatted and giggled. You could tell at a glance how excited the members were before watching the music video.

“Then let’s stop talking here and start watching? The 【Revenge】 music video.”

“Then I’ll play it!”

Seo Ra-eun pressed the spacebar to play the music video.

As soon as it started playing, someone’s back appeared immediately without any logo, along with heavy breathing.

An afternoon field full of humid and gloomy atmosphere.

“Waah!”

Min Ha-young screamed as soon as she saw it. It seemed to mean roughly ‘It starts with me?’

The other members and I pretended not to know and laughed as we said.

“Oh, I wonder whose back that is.”

“It’s a beautiful back view.”

“She really had a hard time filming that, right?”

While the members spoke as if teasing, Min Ha-young in the screen who had been running hard finally turned around.

Just when we thought we might recognize her face!

The screen went black and Day Entertainment’s logo appeared.

“Oh no…”

The members’ sighs burst out.

It cut off before we could even recognize Min Ha-young’s face, so I unconsciously looked at Min Ha-young, and she was also looking at the screen with a face full of disappointment.

And the screen moved on.

A quiet space, warm lamplight coming from somewhere not visible on screen, and the hardcover book that had been shown since the 【Blooming】 music video was being turned page by page by someone’s hands.

Road noise like cars passing by coming from outside.

From these hands and background, fans who knew the worldview would probably all know who the owner of the hands was without seeing the face.

It was obviously Song-i.

The screen still didn’t show Song-i’s face and only showed the hands turning the book. Then when the screen got closer to the book and closer to Han Da-min’s picture in the book.

With a sound of being sucked into somewhere, the screen transitioned to show Han Da-min being chased by someone, and the song started simultaneously.

A deep, dark, yet fast-developing song, with Han Da-min running to match it.

She was running around and wandering in some unknown empty dark space.

I wondered why they blocked all the light except the entrance when filming, but I guess it was to make it impossible to tell where it was at all.

“It was really hard when filming.”

“Unnie really worked so hard.”

I agreed with Han Da-min’s words and focused on the music video.

Backrooms.

Yeah, I was curious what we were filming on the empty first floor of the abandoned factory, but seeing it like this, it’s like someone trapped in the backrooms that exist in horror stories.

And before the intro even ended, the screen switched.

This time it was me.

“Wow…”

I admired it without realizing.

That place wasn’t like that kind of space though?

An infinite corridor with sunlight streaming in through the wide open windows.

I was running through a corridor where I couldn’t tell where the end was.

It was definitely a run-down, eerie place, but I kept running through a place that never ended no matter how much I ran, constantly looking back to see if someone was following.

A face filled with fear.

‘Actually it was a face that wanted to stop running because I was tired. Anyway.’

To transform an abandoned factory that had nothing but railings into such a mystical space.

‘No wonder they kept making me run.’

I suppose they did that to evoke the image of those endless corridors.

And behind me as I ran, someone’s shadow was chasing after me.

It passed by too quickly to see clearly, but it was the shadow of a girl with neatly arranged straight hair wearing a one-piece dress.

The screen switched.

The urgency disappeared and once again we were inside a room lit by cozy lamplight.

Delicate hands turned the pages of a book once more.

And at that moment, the prelude ended and Han Da-min’s voice, laid low and soft, began to be heard.
