It was startling to Juri, how different Kaeun looks when she wasn’t smiling. It further drives home the fact that the Pledis trainee really was smiling all the time. She looked older. More weathered. Like the idol of 6 years that she was, instead of the fresh idol that she was trying to be. Regardless, she still looked absolutely gorgeous to Juri. Maybe these feelings that she held were stronger than she thought.
