Chapter 39: Growing Bonds and Realizations
Scene 1: The Aftermath of Titan's Disbandment
The atmosphere in the Eclipse house was heavy with uncertainty. The recent news of Titan's disbandment, compounded by the tragic loss of Jaeha, left everyone in a state of shock. The group gathered in the lounge, trying to process the flood of emotions.
Soyeon stood in front of them, her expression somber. "Titan's disbandment is not just a blow to the industry. It's a reminder of how fragile everything can be. We can't take anything for granted."
The room was quiet, each member reflecting on her words. Jisoo broke the silence first. "It's so heartbreaking. I had no idea things were that bad for them."
Hana, sitting beside Jisoo, gave a small nod. "It makes you think about how much we've been pushing ourselves, too. I just... I don't know how to process this."
Jisoo turned to her, offering a small smile. "We'll process it together. No matter what happens, we'll support each other."
His words, simple but sincere, resonated deeply with Hana. She felt a warmth spread through her chest, realizing just how much Jisoo meant to her. It wasn't just friendship anymore—there was something more.
As the group discussed the way forward, Jisoo found himself drawn to Hana. It was obvious that she was struggling with everything, but she had always been the kind of person to shoulder things alone. He admired her strength but wanted to show her that she didn't have to carry everything by herself.
Later that evening, Jisoo sought her out in the practice room. She was sitting by herself, lost in thought, a distant look in her eyes.
"Hana," Jisoo said, his voice low but gentle. "You alright?"
She looked up, her eyes soft but tired. "Yeah... just trying to figure everything out. Titan, the tour, Eclipse… It's a lot to handle."
Jisoo took a seat beside her. "You don't have to handle it alone, you know. We're all in this together. I'm here for you."
Hana smiled weakly, grateful for his words. "Thanks, Jisoo. I don't know what I'd do without you."
The moment felt significant, the bond between them undeniable. It wasn't just his kindness or her gratitude—there was something deeper between them. Jisoo wasn't sure when it had shifted, but he knew one thing for sure: he cared about Hana more than he had let himself admit.
He looked at her eyes and somewhat couldn't redraw himself this evoked the feelings he had started to generate since High school to erupt
He then asked her in his usual style,Hey Hana would you like to go on a date,he said that in a more quiet voice
Hana looked at him and then turned away slightly and whispered to herself "a date " ,and then she voiced this out with you?
Jisoo said yes ,and then he looked at her again and said" I saw the way you explained everything to Jisoo,the Soyeon thing,you are really the best sister ,"
Looked at him and said it's nothing much he was just confused,"I knew he had it down there ,just had to shake it up ,"
Just like you did with me"Jisoo whispered again,
Hana then asked him what did you say ?
Oh I mean You did great,but how are you feeling about Taehyun and Soyeon ,Jisoo asked
Oh well they make a great couple,you know,
Then he asked what about me and you "
We'd make a great couple too "she blurted out then she gasped after realizing what she just said And turned away
Jisoo held her face and brought it up to meet his,then he said "Hana I love you "
Hana blushed "it was so visible She then said with a shaking and unusual voice "I Love you too "
And then they stayed there and stargazed for a while.
Meanwhile, Seojun was navigating his own evolving relationship with Favour Johnson, the talented international producer who had joined Eclipse's team after being introduced by The Lunar's team . Favour's no-nonsense attitude had initially intimidated Seojun, but over time, he had come to appreciate her strong-willed nature and sharp mind.
One evening, after a grueling rehearsal, Seojun and Favour ended up in the kitchen alone, sharing a quiet dinner.
"How are you holding up with everything?" Seojun asked, pouring them both a glass of water.
Favour took a deep breath, her usual guarded expression softening. "It's been tough. A lot of pressure, but I'm used to it. This industry isn't kind to anyone who isn't tough enough."
Seojun leaned against the counter, his gaze fixed on her. "You make it look easy. Honestly, I think you're doing an amazing job."
Favour raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by his sincerity. "You don't say that to everyone, do you?"
Seojun smiled, his usual playful charm making an appearance. "Only to those who deserve it."
Favour's lips quirked into a rare smile, and for the first time, Seojun saw her soften completely. The walls she had built around herself seemed to fade, and he felt an unexpected connection. It was more than just admiration—it was respect, mixed with something deeper. Seojun wasn't sure when it had happened, but he was starting to realize that his feelings for Favour were growing.
She caught him staring at her and then she she coughed,he quickly stood up to get water totally forgetting she was already with water on her hands
When he came back to the table she said,what were you thinking about huh
And he said you ,She smiled shyly and then they were lost in the moment they didn't even notice Minjun had entered the kitchen,Minjun decided to sneak out carefully but ended up pushing over a stool,And he alarmed them ,they turned and saw him and he said nothing here just continue I'm leaving and they went back to their Dinner date ,
And the Seojun told her "Favour I love you
And she said"I love you too "
And then she said so we dating ha and played with her hair
And he Touched the back of his neck ,and said Yeah sure we are ,...
Hyunwoo, always the more introspective member of Eclipse, had found a quiet refuge in his growing bond with Yunna, an out spoken artist he had met through Eclipse's earlier collaborations with Lunar. She had a gentle aura that made him feel at ease, and their late-night talks often revolved around art, music, and their shared love of creativity.
One evening, Hyunwoo found himself painting alone in the practice room while Yunna sat nearby, sketching in her notebook. The sound of her pencil moving across paper was soothing, and Hyunwoo couldn't help but feel drawn to her quiet presence.
"You know," Hyunwoo said softly, breaking the silence, "painting has always been my escape. It's like... everything else fades away when I'm doing it."
Yunna looked up, her eyes bright with understanding. "I feel the same way with my drawings. It's a way to communicate what words can't."
Hyunwoo smiled, feeling a deeper connection to her. "Exactly. It's like... no one else gets it, but you do."
The quiet understanding between them was comforting, and as they spent more time together, Hyunwoo realized how much he valued Yunna's presence in his life. He wasn't sure when he had started seeing her as more than just a friend, but now, in these quiet moments, it was clear that his feelings were shifting into something deeper.
It was love ,The same way he felt for her earlier ,He then Said YUNNA,I love you ,unsure of what to expect
But surprisingly She got up and hugged him ,and said it took you long enough to say that
Hyunwoo surprised them said so does that mean you
Yes silly I do ,I love you too
So we're dating ,"Hyunwoo said ,ha finally
And she smiled and then he got another canvas and decided to paint her
Although Minjun had yet to meet Lily,but he had been face calling and , chatting for a long ,the talented artist he would encounter later on tour, he had already started imagining their connection. Minjun had always had a deep appreciation for art, and he felt that his meeting with Lily would be a turning point for him, both personally and creatively.
For now, he focused on his work with the group, He looked forward to the day he would meet her and was eager to see what kind of bond they would share.
For Jaemin, his connection with Seulbi, a brilliant member of Lunar had blossomed into something special. They shared a quiet, growing affection for one another that neither of them had fully acknowledged until recently.
After a long day of rehearsals, Jaemin found Seulbi sitting alone, reading through some notes. He couldn't resist the urge to join her, sliding into the chair next to her.
"You're always working," he teased, nudging her shoulder lightly.
Seulbi smiled up at him, a gentle laugh escaping her lips. "
Jaemin chuckled. "Yeah, I know. But you work too hard. You deserve to relax."
She glanced at him, her eyes softening. "I'm fine. Besides, I like being able to help."
Jaemin's heart skipped a beat. There was something about Seulbi's gentle nature that made him want to protect her, cherish her. It wasn't just friendship—it was something more, something he hadn't fully realized until now.
It was "love "
Seulbi who was also thinking how much she admired him heard a voice that cut her thoughts it said "I love you Seulbi"
It was Jaemin ,she was surprised,she looked at him and blinked thrice,and he repeated it again and she said "I love you too "
They got swept off by the moment and kept talking and talking and sharing light laughter.
For Taehyun, the shift in his feelings toward Soyeon was gradual but undeniable. It had always been there—his admiration for her strength, her leadership, and her quiet beauty. But he had never truly acknowledged it, until Hana made him see the truth.
, After a long day and a failed love confession followed by an explanation Taehyun was walking down the hallway when he heard a soft sound coming from the corner of the living room. He approached cautiously and saw Soyeon sitting alone, her face buried in her hands as she quietly sobbed.
His heart clenched at the sight. He had never seen her so vulnerable, so raw. She had always been the strong one—the one who held everything together—but in this moment, she was just a woman, overwhelmed by everything.
Soyeon looked up in surprise as Taehyun stepped closer.' Ah Tae..Taehyun I thought you went to express your feelings to Hana ,,she said remembering what he had told her earlier when he ran off ,when Soyoen was about to confess her love to him .
Taehyun said ,She made me understand everything Soyoen ,she explained it all
"Soyeon... I had no idea," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.
She wiped her eyes quickly, trying to compose herself. "I'm fine," she said, but the tears still lingered in her eyes.
Taehyun shook his head, crouching beside her. "No, you're not. You've been holding everything in for so long."
Soyeon bit her lip, clearly torn. "I'm just so tired, Taehyun. Tired of being the one everyone depends on."
He reached out, gently placing his hand over hers. "You don't have to carry it all alone, you know."
Soyeon looked up at him, and for the first time, Taehyun saw the deep hurt in her eyes. "I've always been here for you, Soyeon. And I want to be here for you now. You don't have to hide from me."
The weight of the moment hung heavy in the air, but in that silence, Taehyun realized something crucial. He just admired her,--Hana. He had loved Soyoen for a long time, but had never admitted it to himself.
"I've always liked you, Soyeon. I just... didn't know how to say it."
Her eyes softened, and she gave a small, hesitant smile. "You're not too late, Taehyun."
And in that moment, everything clicked. They had both been holding back for so long, but now they knew. This was real.
He hugged her tightly as if the world was about to end .
Soyoen then said so wait we're dating right ,
Taehyun nudged her and said Yes
