A trainee dormitory at night. A young man sits alone on the top bunk, phone light illuminating his face. He's handsome, soft features, dark hair pushed back. He wears an oversized t-shirt and sweatpants. The phone screen shows a DRAG THRONE

Split panel: Junsu watching the clip on his phone, then a flashback showing Ha-rin's DRAG THRONE moment — her crying but defiant on stage.

Junsu's phone screen showing a money transfer app. He's sending funds to Ha-rin through a burner account.

Ha-rin's phone screen showing a notification: 'You have received a transfer of ₩500,000.' She's in her rehearsal space, confused.

A flashback montage showing multiple transfer notifications accumulating over time, then Ha-rin at a makeup store counting her remaining cash.

The rehearsal space. Junsu enters, dressed down — cap pulled low, oversized jacket, face mask. He's nervous, looking over his shoulder.

Close-up reaction sequence. Ha-rin's eyes widen as she recognizes him from a magazine cover. Junsu pulls off his mask.

Junsu explains himself. He's been sending the money. He's gay. He's terrified.

Junsu continues his confession. Ha-rin sits down slowly, understanding the weight of the situation.

Ha-rin speaks gently. She understands his fear.

The next day. Ha-rin tells Min-ji and Dae-jung about Junsu. Discussion begins.

Min-ji makes the practical argument — they need the money. Dae-jung looks troubled.

Dae-jung speaks. He makes the ethical argument — using a closeted person's money is exploitative.

The debate continues. Min-ji and Dae-jung go back and forth.

Ha-rin stands. She's made her decision — she won't take the money anymore. But she needs time.

Days later. Junsu returns to the rehearsal space. He looks nervous but determined.

Junsu enters. Ha-rin closes the door behind him. Then — footsteps in the hallway outside.

The door opens. The other trainee peers in. Ha-rin improvises.

Ha-rin's quick thinking saves the moment. The other trainee is confused but accepts the excuse.

The trainee leaves. Junsu exhales. He knows he can't keep doing this.

Junsu says goodbye. He can't come back.

Junsu's final words. Ha-rin listens, moved.

The next day. Ha-rin looking at her phone. Junsu's final message displayed on screen.

Ha-rin looks at her reflection — no makeup, tired eyes, but determined. The cliffhanger.
