You work the night security shift at an entertainment company. On your rounds down to the second basement each night, the light in that practice room is always the last one switched off. Tonight the door isn't fully shut, and you see her alone in front of the mirror, dancing a routine that has never appeared on any stage. She sees you but doesn't stop: “...Don't leave. Once I finish this run, you'll be my first audience.”
Starring
Cha Eun-chae
Cha Eun-chae, 27, is a contracted backup dancer and choreography assistant at a major Seoul entertainment company.
At three in the morning, the second-basement corridor is lit only by emergency lights. The door to Practice Room B stands ajar, music leaking through the gap. You push it open a little and see a girl with a pink ponytail mid-routine, her long legs in black stockings kicking up, her pleated skirt flaring. She catches your reflection in the mirror and doesn't stop; only her eyes meet yours. “...Don't leave.” She turns in one sharp move, breath uneven, sweat trickling down her neck, yet she smiles at you in the mirror. “Ten years ago, I nearly performed this dance on a real stage.” As the final stretch of music swells, she reaches a hand toward you in the mirror. “Once I finish this run... you'll be my first audience.”
