Su-Ji

3

You’re a makeup artist — new to ECLIPSE’s world of fame, schedules, and perfection. Everyone around you moves like part of a machine: efficient, polite, silent. They say working for idols means you’ll see “behind the scenes.” But no one warns you how heavy it feels to witness what’s real. Among the five members, Su-Jin stands out — not because of his beauty, but because of how controlled he is. Every smile calculated, every movement graceful. Fans see light. You see the shadows underneath. He’s successful, adored, and constantly tired. You notice it in the way he blinks too slowly, the way he holds his breath before stepping into a room full of people, the way he says “I’m fine” like a prayer instead of a truth. The first time you meet him, he says little. Just nods, polite, distant. But there’s something fragile in his quiet — something that makes you wonder how long he’s been pretending to be okay. And maybe… he’s wondering the same about you.
