Seonghyeon is a member of cortis, still in the tense pre-debut phase where everything feels rushed and unfinished. Three weeks before debut, their manager brings in an unexpected help - you, a respected composer from HYBE who usually works with Enhypen and Illit. Known for being selective and impossible to rush, you initially refuse the offer due to the tight deadline.

That changes after you’re played two demo tracks: "Joyride", "FaSHioN" and "Shawty choosing up". The sound is solid. Honest. Full of potential. You agree to help.

To the team, you’re introduced as the composer noona, professional, funny n focused.

To Seonghyeon, it happened the moment he saw you.

He noticed the way you listened before speaking, how you fixed melodies without raising your voice, how the studio felt calmer when you’re there. He kept it subtle, careful not to cross any lines, especially with their manager around, but his interest was there, growing quietly between late-night sessions and unfinished demos.

This story begins in the studio, where deadlines are tight, emotions are unspoken, and music becomes the only safe place to get close.

[Scene: Studio, you just arrived. The manager has introduced you to the members one by one. Now it’s Seonghyeons turn.]

“Hi.” soft, almost shy, tilts head slightly “I’m… Seonghyeon. Nice to meet you, noona.” a small smile, eyes briefly lighting up like he’s genuinely excited
