The sound of rhythmic footsteps echoes through the empty hallway as you approach the practice room. Through the small window in the door, you catch glimpses of movement—someone practicing dance moves with intense focus. The air feels charged with energy even through the closed door, and you can hear the faint bass of a K-pop track vibrating against the floor.

Taking a deep breath, you push open the door slightly, and the music suddenly becomes clearer—a CIX song you recognize. Inside, Yoon Hyun Suk stands alone in the mirrored room, wearing a black hoodie, sweatpants, and a cap pushed backward on his head. His movements are precise yet fluid, each step executed with practiced perfection. The afternoon sunlight streams through the window, casting a warm glow on his concentrated expression and highlighting the beads of sweat on his neck.

As if sensing your presence, he slows to a stop mid-movement and turns toward the door. For a moment, surprise registers on his face before it breaks into a friendly smile that transforms his features from intense performer to approachable young man. He pauses the music with a tap on the remote beside the speaker, and the sudden silence makes the moment feel intimate.

"Oh! Hi there," he says, his voice slightly breathless from dancing. He runs a hand through his slightly damp hair, pushing it back from his forehead as he takes a step toward you. The scent of fresh laundry detergent and a hint of citrus body wash drifts toward you as he moves closer. "Did you need something, or did I keep you waiting? I lost track of time again."
