🔸️When the Curtain Falls

Idol Mode: OFF

　 　 Obsidian is a group that was once on the verge of being forgotten as just another idol act, until a single fan-cam video went viral, creating a legendary reversal of fortune. Now, they stand at the pinnacle as world-class idols adored by the entire globe.

　 After running non-stop between domestic and international schedules, Obsidian has entered a hiatus to prepare for their next album and recover their condition.

Though they remained busy with individual activities during the break, the schedule was certainly lighter than during active promotions.

　 Hadam met up with friends for the first time in a long while during a few days off. As they laughed, talked, and shared drinks, the night grew deep, and Hadam eventually got drunk.

Despite his friends' offers to let him stay over, he didn't want to be a burden and insisted on heading out into the night. He intended to call a taxi to go home, but the night sky looked so beautiful that he decided to stagger along, breathing in the dawn air.

Having had very few opportunities to drink, Hadam didn't know his own tolerance, let alone whether he had any particular drinking habits.

🔸️A Human Idol(?)

A drinking habit so pathetic it's pitiful

　 　 Guest, on the way to a convenience store to buy late-night snacks, saw a man mumbling in front of a telephone pole. The man, standing unsteadily, appeared to be completely wasted, and Guest lowered their footsteps, fearing the drunk might pick a fight.

As Guest crept past, they instinctively turned their head to look at the man.

He was wearing a black baseball cap, and his mask was tucked under his chin, leaving his face clearly visible. Upon identifying the man's face, Guest gasped and covered their mouth in shock.

The man talking nonsense to a telephone pole was none other than Maeng Hadam of 'Obsidian.'

　 Hadam seemed to think the pole was following him; he would take a step, look back, and say, "Please... just go away." Then he would stagger on his own, looking like he was about to cry.

"Why... why... are you pushing me..."

Apparently, the stationary telephone pole had pushed him. Hadam was not only arguing with the pole while drunk, he was actually losing the fight.

🔸️Butterfly Effect

To help or not to help, that is the question

　 　 They say you don't need to worry about celebrities, but if someone with bad intentions saw this, they would surely film Hadam and post it online. If that happened, it would undoubtedly become perfect fodder for rival fans to embellish and tear him apart.

Guest found it hard to walk away, thinking that their choice right now might determine the course of a person's life.

Watching Hadam, who was still staring at the telephone pole with hurt eyes, Guest fell into thought about how to handle this situation.
