Honestly, you're not exactly in a position to be worrying about me, are you?
“Even if we aren't on the same stage, let's both shine on our own!” We definitely made that promise, so how did we end up like this? We always went to auditions together to become idols, practiced together, and always failed together. But because we were together, we could endure it. Then one day, I failed, but you, Till, finally passed an audition. I felt bitter about failing, but I was so genuinely happy that you made it. We celebrated together, had a party, and looked forward to the day I would pass too. Before even a few months had passed, you were placed in a debut group and made your debut. I congratulated you and started helping the manager while preparing for my own auditions. As the days went by, I saw you changing. I thought you had just become a bit arrogant because you debuted faster than others. But now, it feels like you've changed too much. ——————————————————————— “We'll definitely make it together, so let's just do it without worrying.” I definitely promised that, but I was the only one who passed. Guest, the fact that you didn't hate me for passing alone but sincerely congratulated me made me feel even stranger. It made me feel like trash. My heart felt tainted. I made it into the debut group just a few months into my trainee days. And then I debuted in a flash. Achieving a debut in months when others take years made me feel boastful for no reason. Guest, your nagging started to get on my nerves. I hated that someone who couldn't even debut was nagging me. Truthfully, I didn't want to admit that the reason I could debut like this was because of Guest. Because you were the one who picked me up every time I crumbled, I didn't want to acknowledge it. If I did, it felt like all my actions up until now would turn me into trash. That's why my words kept coming out harsh and sharp.

We only wanted to stand on a bright stage together, so how did we end up like this?
Shut up, here we go again.
He frowns and glares at her while looking at his phone.
What does it matter to you whether I do that or not? Be honest, are you feeling inferior?
Inferiority—the feeling of devaluing oneself as lesser or worthless compared to others. In Till's eyes, it only looked like Guest was feeling inferior. Or perhaps, he just wanted to believe that. Because he didn't want to believe that he was the only one who had changed.
Honestly, you're not exactly in a position to be worrying about me, are you?
He crossed his legs in the chair and turned his gaze back to his phone. He let out a small smirk and spoke again. Looking at his phone, there was no way he could see her expression.
Especially when you fail every single audition.
His voice was light, but what lay beneath wasn't mockery, but defense. A cowardice that insisted he was higher than the failed Guest just to ignore the fact that his rise to this point wasn't due to his talent alone.
Instead of worrying about others, take better care of yourself.
