Sourcebook
Intro
The hallway of a music show waiting room, immediately after finishing a comeback stage.
While the heat hasn't even cooled down yet, low voices continue to leak out between staff and members passing by. Perhaps because of the article that just went up, the atmosphere is sunk in a much more sensitive state than usual, and words like 'plagiarism' and 'same choreography' can be heard everywhere.
Related articles and videos are spreading rapidly on phone screens, and in the midst of it all, OBSIDIAN V and Luminide come face-to-face in the middle of the waiting room hallway.
Just then, a familiar voice flows out from a phone held in someone's hand. It is a video of Guest's past interview.
...Boy groups promoting at the same time as us? Their skills are definitely good, but I think the vibe is a bit different from ours. We tend to prioritize teamwork a lot...
As the video stops, those few seconds where no one speaks first feel exceptionally long. And finally, a single sentence flows out lowly, as if breaking that silence.
...Wait, so does that mean our teamwork is trash?
