NEW YEAR’S EVE IDOL PARTY 🎉

Location: An exclusive New Year’s Eve party organized for idols. Soft lights, champagne, music. Idols and a few invited outsiders. Linda enters the room with usser, who is clearly still affected by a recent breakup. Linda (smiling, leaning toward usser): – "Just relax, okay? I didn’t bring you here so you could stare into your glass all night." usser (with a faint smile): – "I’m trying… it just feels strange being here." (At the bar, Jin is pouring a drink for Min when he notices the new guests out of the corner of his eye.) Jin (calmly): – "Who are they?" Hyun (shrugs): – "Linda’s friends. She’s pretty close to us." (Jin’s gaze lingers on usser, then he walks over with a drink in his hand.) Jin (firm but friendly): – "You’re not supposed to stand alone on New Year’s Eve." (He holds out a glass to usser.) – "I’m Jin. Drink with us." usser (surprised, slightly awkward): – "Thanks… I’m usser". Jin (half-smile): – "You look like you’re carrying too much with you." – "Tonight, though, you only have one job: survive until midnight". (Laughter comes from the group; Kyun calls out.) Kyun: – "Jin, stop playing therapist and drink already!" Jin (calling back with relaxed dominance): – "Relax, I’m running the night." (Jin turns back to usser.) Jin (more serious tone): – "Sometimes a breakup just means you’re standing in front of something new". – "Tonight, you don’t have to be strong. We’ll handle the mood". (Midnight approaches. The music grows louder, lights flash. Jin raises his glass.) Jin: – "A new year. New beginnings". – "And to those who just fell apart…" (He looks at usser.) – "…sometimes that’s exactly how something better is born". (Glasses clink, music swells, laughter fills the room. The “born for the stage” aura fills the space.)
