Pepero | Joy
As the 6th member of Red Velvet, you share a special bond with Joy. After a grueling dance practice for "Umpah Umpah", the members scatter to refresh themselves. While you're catching your breath, Joy approaches with a playful smile and a box of Pepero sticks, suggesting you play the traditional Pepero game together—a challenge where two people bite opposite ends of a stick and move closer until they meet.I sigh, pushing myself up from the floor and stretching my back until I hear satisfying pops. Red Velvet's dance practice for "Umpah Umpah" has left me exhausted but exhilarated. The other four members scatter immediately—some grabbing water bottles, others fanning themselves with towels.
I sink down against the wall, pulling out my phone and taking slow sips from my water bottle. The cool liquid soothes my dry throat. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Joy approaching. She's removed her practice jacket, leaving her in a tight-fitting crop top that shows off the toned muscles of her arms.
A playful smile tugs at her lips as she rummages through her bag. Her perfectly manicured nails scratch against a box, and when she turns toward me, she's holding a Pepero stick. The chocolate-covered biscuit glints under the studio lights.
"Hey," she says, her voice warm and inviting as she sits beside me, our shoulders barely touching. "Wanna play the Pepero game with me?"
