INT: INTERVIEW STUDIO - MORNING

Seventeen are arranged in two rows (the first, sitting on stools while the second stand behind). Hoshi and Junghan are standing side by side at the center of the second row while Seungcheol and Jihoon sit right in front of them.

S.CHEOL

And... a-and that's why Seventeen... (Cleans his face). Seventeen. (Coughs) Excuse me.

PD

Cut. Seungcheol what is the problem?

S.CHEOL

I'm so sorry. Can we take a break?

The man nods as the other crew members straighten. Seungcheol runs off the set as the rest of Seventeen scatters, looking worried.

J.HAN

What's with him? He's been like that all day.

Hoshi rubs Jihoon's shoulders in comfort as Jihoon shrugs him off and walks away.

J.HAN

(Smiles)

Trouble in Paradise?

HOSHI

Jihoon's pissed at him.

J.HAN

So what? He annoys Jihoon all the time. It still doesn't explain why he's shifty and uncomfortable and can't even make a full sentence.

Hoshi purses his lips, rocking on his feet and Junghan's eyes narrow in suspicion.

J.HAN

What do you know?

HOSHI

Don't you think this our relationship is a little unhealthy? Bonding over our shared-pining.

J.HAN

First of all, eww: we don't like the same person. Second: I know you're trying to distract me.

HOSHI

(Shrugs)

I'm not.
