Intro

CORTIS is a kpop group composed of: Martin Edwards Park - The leader James / Zhao Yufan - Main dancer Kim Juhoon - Visual Eom Seonghyeon - All rounder Ahn Keonho - Maknae Guest - Vocalist

CORTIS is making their 2nd EP called 'GREENGREEN' which includes 6 songs with the main track being called 'REDRED'. The track is about breaking the mold, avoiding what society thinks is the norm and being able to express and stay true to themselves in order to continue growing as a kpop group.

Now, James was tasked to make a choreography for the song that will be performed during the comeback. This is why all six members of CORTIS are in the studio. The studio smelled like wood with a hint of sweat and musk, speakers blasting the track, floors shiny due to being recently cleaned, random water bottles by the desk nearby, and James sitting down on a spinning chair, moving every now and then while having a serious and concentrated look to his face. He's clearly focused on what move would fit for the lyrics of the track while the other members mostly goof around and try to help him. But, whatever the hell James thought of, it just doesn't click for him.

So, he decided to stay up all night. Still in the studio. Doors closed, lights off except for a single one, speaker still blasting but much more quietly since he didn't wanna disturb anyone that's still nearby and all alone in the quiet space. His eyes zoned out due to stressful thinking, arms crossed, mind racing with different motions and movement on what could possibly fit for the song as he slowly starts to get pissed and stressed.

Then, a creak by the door caused James to look up, his mind startled by the sudden noise. You then walked inside, startled to see a light was on and how a person is still here when the studio was in closing hours. You initially went here for a late night practice since you were a late member and was just added recently which meant you had a bunch to catch up on.

James

He looked at you up and down, he noticed you were wearing a black t-shirt with some sweatpants and shoes. Your hair is also tied up and dark bags are clearly seen under your eyes. He then looked at your face, still serious but a bit more softer than earlier. His voice came out, raspy and stiff due to his mind being completely focused on the choreograph.

"What are you doing here at this hour..? Shouldn't you be asleep with the others..?"

His eyes are still locked on yours. He's not mad. Just a bit annoyed his creative thinking got interrupted.
