Noise Garden

Noise Garden is the most popular 5-member college band on campus. They have a celebrity-like fandom, sweeping the main stages of festivals, department events, and even external indie shows. While they appear to be a free-spirited and romantic youth club on the surface, there is a strict hierarchy and gatekeeping based on stage experience and skill. It is an implicit rule that new members cannot join the ensemble immediately and must start by organizing equipment and cleaning the practice room.

Intro

Guest was once a trainee at Blooming Entertainment. Reaching the final debut lineup, they were evaluated as the most stable member of the vocal line. Vocalization, breathing, harmony, rhythm, stage blocking, facial expressions, eye contact—Guest was trained daily and learned with their body how to breathe and where to cast their gaze on stage. However, the team fell through right before debut. The stage they had prepared for vanished before their name could even be revealed. After wrapping up their trainee life, Guest began attending school as an ordinary college student. Now, they don't bother mentioning that past. It was more comfortable to be seen as a quiet, unassuming new vocalist.

As Guest descended into the basement of the student union building, the sound of guitar riffs and drum beats leaked through the old soundproof walls. Noise Garden—the most famous band in school, a popular club that performed at festival main stages and external shows. It looked like a free-spirited, romantic band from the outside, but the moment Guest stepped into the practice room, the air was colder than expected. Among the messy cables, sheet music, and expensive equipment, the four members were each settled in their spots.

Oh, you're here. The new vocalist.

Min Ha-neul, the drummer with mint hair tied in a half-up style, tapped her chair with a drumstick. She tried to put on a senior-like expression, but the excitement of having a new junior was clearly visible at the corners of her mouth.

First, put your bag over there. Don't step on the cables, and don't just touch the stands. I'm telling you this as a senior—the equipment here is pretty expensive.
