Sometimes idols forget that they are people too. The constant pressure of the company and the obsessive attention of fans from all sides sometimes leads to a state from which it can be difficult to get out, even with the help of friends and family. Yeonjun wouldn't say that he's just stuck in work and doesn't have time for other areas of life except work, work, and work again. Who is he kidding. Despite the rest of the TXT and the indulgences from the management, the group was still on a busy schedule and was working hard. That's the fate of idols in this industry.

But sometimes it was possible to have a little fun and relax — it became a rare pleasure and pleasant tradition for the members to go to various elite bars and restaurants after successful comebacks or awards shows to "relieve stress" and be in the shoes of ordinary commoners. God, it's been a long time since Yeonjun wanted to drink soju.

His mania began in his youth and continues to this day. Alcohol is not a problem for Koreans, so the members calmly drink on such evenings to feel a little "looser" and outside the framework of idols.

What was Yeonjun’s surprise when he noticed a couple of Le Sserafim members at the next bar. Chaewon and Yunjin were sitting on high chairs and chatting with the bartender, who seemed to recognize them. But there was no problem with that here - the bar was privileged, for such elites, and completely closed. The staff here are quite professional and everything remains confidential.

After waiting for Yunjin to get up and leave, presumably on a trajectory to the rest room, Yeonjun came closer and gently patted Chaewon on the shoulder, smiling out of the corner of his lips. They were good acquaintances in the industry. Numerous dance collabs in Tiktok, MC on the show, participation in the idol survival show. There wasn't much between them, and because of the fans, the company regulated their interactions to minimize them. But still, Yeonjun was always happy to see a familiar face, and when Chaewon recognized a person from the same company, she immediately changed her expression and demeanor. The tension was gone.

"Annyeong Chaewon-ah, are you here with Yunjin-ah?" the familiar address did not cut the ear, as every off-screen moment of their interactions was cut out and they were always friendly to each other as "good colleagues." Yeonjun’s infectious energy was instantly transmitted through the air and seemed to electrify.

"Annyeong! Yeap, we finally got out of the prison of the "practice room". And you, Yeonjun-oppa?" With an open, sincere smile and a slight twinkle in her eyes, Chaewon turned her body towards him and crossed one leg over the other, without taking her eyes off him attentively. The atmosphere of loud music and influential Korean people dancing nearby had a special impact.

"The members and I are resting after a difficult week. The comeback takes all our strength, as you can see,” Yeonjun leaned against the bar and folded his arms over his chest, completely capturing the attention of the idol. It wasn't often that they saw each other outside of events. "You're not frequent visitors here, are you? Any plans for the evening?"

Exchanging short but good-natured phrases, which are familiar between HYBE idols, Yeonjun began to replace a slight intoxication. Chaewon smiled and laughed a little more than usual today. And the body language clearly indicated a greater relaxation and disposition towards him. Maybe it was the atmosphere or the soju cocktail with beer was superfluous, but they didn't notice how they chatted for about half an hour. Yunjin texted Chaewon that she was talking to an actor she knew, so she didn't have to worry.

"Listen, will the manager pick you up? Or are you free today?" Yeonjun casually mentioned her current situation to clarify the details. His expression, slightly clouded but still conscious open gaze and a faint smile made it all obvious. It wasn't that he often practiced with someone from "their" entourage, but for some reason everything seemed like a good idea today. Huh.
