After a long day of drama filming until midnight, Sungjae quickly rushed to the SBS broadcasting station to join his hyungs for the recording of “Inkigayo”. Sungjae was exhausted both mentally and physically, he fell asleep in the waiting room while his stylist was styling his hair. For once, even all the members stayed quiet to let their maknae get some sleep. After rehearsal, Sungjae was able to get some sleep. Since it was their turn to go on stage soon, Sungjae talked to his hyungs to keep himself awake. 

Sungjae: Hyung...

Eunkwang: Yea?

Sungjae: I need your help with something

Eunkwang: Go ahead

Changsub: You don’t need my help??? *Pretends to be sad*

Sungjae: Yes, I do...

Changsub: Yay!! *Smiles goofily* What is it then? 

Sungjae: Well, it’s about Sooyoungie...

Eunkwang: Ooooh~ 

Sungjae: She’s not very confident in herself, she’s always doubting herself, she feels insecure quite easily

Eunkwang: Hmm... Well have you tried telling her how well she’s doing?

Sungjae: Yea I did, but I feel like just saying it once isn’t enough, how can I help rebuild her confidence in herself?

Changsub: Well, you could try praising her more? When she does something just compliment her 

Sungjae: So just say good job?

Changsub: Yea, but make it natural, so maybe when you see her you tell her she looks pretty, when she does something tell her how good she is at it, little praises like that can mean a lot to someone who’s insecure, especially coming from someone who matters to herrr~

Sungjae: Alright, I’ll do that, but there’s another thing... Sooyoung’s talked to me about this before, she said she’s read some comments, and from when the audience sees on tv, many people seem to think the girl is the only one who likes the guy, and not the other way round... It seems to be bothering her... But I mean, I do like her!! That’s the frustrating part, I actually like her, so how come people think I don’t...??

Eunkwang: Well, I watched your episodes, and I think it’s because you’re too cautious around her

Sungjae: Cautious...?

Eunkwang: Yes, because you actually do like her, and you’re aware of that, so that makes you act carefully around her, but people don’t know that, so it looks like you’re not that interested in her

Sungjae: What...?? But I do like her... How can I show them that I do like her but not go over board...?? 

Eunkwang: Just be yourself around her, act comfortably, don’t think if it as filming, think of it as a real date, let go of your worries about liking her, and just let yourself actually
