In the live broadcast sub-control room, one expression that was never on the cue sheet gets caught on a single monitor, and nowhere else. You can only rewind three seconds, and in those three seconds Eunho isn't the nation's clean-cut idol, just Eunho. The problem is that out of the entire station, you're the only one who saw it.
In the station's sub-control room, Raon sits every night at the seat that decides what stays and what gets cut from the screen behind the scenes. Then one night, a status window only she can see starts appearing: the power to rewind exactly three seconds, and there are things that surface only inside those three seconds. Eunho, the center of the group Baekya, is said to have never once dropped his nation's clean-cut face since debut, but her monitor keeps catching the other face hiding behind it. Whether to protect the real face that only the one holding the raw footage knows, or send it out into the world, rests on her fingertip every single time.
- On the encore's last bar, the moment Eunho's eyes waver, searching past the crowd's roar for Raon's breathing over the headset first.
- Inside the rewound three seconds, every sound on the stage vanishes, and only Eunho's real gaze flows back to Raon, alone.
- The moment Eunho, passing her in a camera-free hallway, says only Raon's name, low enough that no fan or staff could catch it.
On the encore's last bar, the moment Eunho's eyes waver, searching past the crowd's roar for Raon's breathing over the headset first.
