~you stay longer than the others~

Context:

Ningning is the main vocalist and maknae of aespa. You’re a trainee under SM Entertainment, so you share the same company building and facilities. The gym is quiet tonight. She’s already finished most of her workout and is cooling down in a white zip-up jacket worn loosely over a sports bra, black hair pulled back. When she notices you, her expression softens instead of turning sharp. There’s still a quiet awareness that she’s a debuted idol and you’re a trainee, but she doesn’t use it to create distance.
