~~~~~~~~~~

The mysterious man visited the coffee shop four more times over the next few days. Each time, he came in at the same time, and each time, his presence stirred something in your heart. You served him with the same warm smile and cheerful demeanor, and with each encounter, there was a subtle tension between the two of you.

On the fourth day, something changed. The mysterious man lingered at the counter after placing his order, seeming to gather up the courage to speak. Finally, he turned to you, avoiding eye contact and said, "Can I ask you something?"

Your heart skipped a beat at his words. "Sure, what is it?" you replied, trying to keep your voice steady.

The man hesitated for a moment, fidgeting with the edge of his jacket. "I've been coming here for the past few days now, and I..." He trailed off, his voice cracking slightly.

You smiled warmly, encouraging him to continue. "It's okay, take your time."

He took a deep breath, finally raising his eyes to meet yours for a brief moment before quickly averting them again. "I've really enjoyed coming here, and I guess what I'm trying to say is, I was wondering if you would give me your number?"

Your heart fluttered at his words. "Of course," you replied, a grin spreading across your face. You scribbled your number down on a piece of paper and handed it to him. "Here you go."

The man took the paper, looking down at it for a moment before slipping it into his pocket. "Thanks," he said quietly, the smile you can't see reaching his eyes.

As you saved his number under “Mysterious Pretty Boy” on your phone, your heart raced in anticipation. That night, just as you were settling down on your bed, thinking about how seriously familiar you found him, your phone buzzed with a text notification.

You instantly reached for your phone and saw a message from the mysterious man, a wave of excitement washed over you.

The text read:

-Hey, it’s the guy from the coffee shop. Just wanted to say thanks again for giving me your number. I hope you don’t mind me texting.

You couldn’t help but smile at his text. His awkwardness and shyness were endearing in a way. You quickly typed out a response.

-Hey, no problem. It’s nice to hear from you :)

He replied almost instantly.

-I’m glad you think so. I’ve been wanting to text you for a while now, but I was too nervous. I’m glad you didn’t think it was weird.

You chuckled at his response.

-Weird is a word for it. But don't worry, I’ve actually been waiting for you to text me. I was curious to see if you ever would.

He then sent:

-I didn’t want to seem like a creep or anything. But I couldn’t help but notice you every time I came into the coffee shop. You always had that beautiful smile on your face.

Your heart skipped a beat at his words.

-Aww, thank you. I didn’t realize you were paying that much attention to me.

He replied with a winking emoji, followed by:

- ;)

-Of course I was. How could I not? You have the most captivating smile and the most beautiful eyes. I couldn’t take my eyes off you.

Your cheeks flushed at his compliments.

-You’re too sweet. I’ve noticed you too, you know. You’re quite the mysterious one with that mask of yours.

He responded with a playful tone:

-What can I say? I like to keep things interesting. It makes people wonder what’s underneath all this mystery.

You continued:

-Well, it definitely worked. I was curious about you the moment you walked into the coffee shop with that mask on. I even found myself thinking about you after you left.

He sent another text:

-Really? I had no idea. I guess I’m not as subtle as I thought. But I have to admit, it makes me happy to know that you were thinking about me.

You replied, a smirk on your face:

-Yep. I couldn’t help but wonder what secrets you were hiding behind that mask. And I have to say, it only made you more intriguing to me.

He responded with a chuckle:

-Well, I guess I’ll have to be more careful next time. Can’t have my mystery unraveling too quickly. But I promise there’s nothing too sinister behind this mask, just a regular guy.(sure)

After hours of playful, lighthearted, and flirty text conversations, you realized that it was getting late. You had an early class in the morning, and as much as you wanted to keep talking to the mysterious man, you knew you needed to get some sleep.

You woke up early the next day, feeling a mix of excitement and a little bit of tiredness from staying up late texting with the mysterious man. Before heading out to college, you took a moment to send him a quick “Good Morning” text. As you settled into your classes for the day, you couldn’t help but steal glances at your phone, waiting for a response.

As you went through your classes, your mind kept wandering back to the late-night conversation with the mysterious man. You remembered how his personality seemed to come through in his texts, how he was so playful and shy all at once. You also recalled how he hesitated to give you his Korean name and instead offered his English name, Sam. It was definitely a bit suspicious, but you didn't want to pry too much since you both were just getting to know each other.

You spent the rest of the morning focusing on your classes, taking notes and participating when called upon. But when you had a break between classes, you couldn't help but check your phone again. There was no new text from him yet, but just seeing his name on your screen made your heart flutter a bit.

Once classes ended, you headed for your shift at the cafe, hoping to see him there.

You couldn't help but hope that the mysterious man would show up at the cafe during your shift. With each passing minute, your excitement grew, your eyes constantly scanning the room for his familiar masked figure.

Finally, just as your shift was about to end, the door of the cafe opened, and in walked the mysterious man. Your heart skipped a beat as you watched him approach the counter, his masked face as unreadable as ever.

"Hi," you greeted him with a warm smile, your heart racing. "The usual?"

He nodded, a small glint in his eyes betraying his shyness. "Yeah, the usual."

You got to work preparing his order, unable to tear your gaze away from him. He leaned against the counter, watching you intently.

As you focused on preparing his order, you felt his gaze on you. It was subtle, but you could sense his eyes on you, studying you under the mask he always wore. It made you both nervous and excited at the same time.

Finally, you handed him his order, your fingers brushing against his as he took it. The brief touch sent a jolt of electricity through you, and you couldn't help but wonder if he felt it too.

He thanked you quietly, his voice barely above a whisper. You could see his eyes crinkling slightly, indicating a smile beneath the mask. As he turned to leave, he paused for a moment, seeming to consider something.

He then turned back to you, his voice soft. "Thank you, Y/N. Bye!"

“No problem, bye Sam!” you said, using his english name in person for the first time.

His eyes widened slightly at the sound of his english name, but he quickly composed himself. You could see a hint of a smile on his face as he lifted a hand in a small wave. "Bye," he repeated softly before walking out of the cafe, his usual calm demeanor now a bit shaken.

After closing time, you checked your phone, just to see a text from him,

You chuckled at the unexpected question. After closing the cafe for the night, you grabbed your phone and saw a new text from the mysterious man. Your heart skipped a beat as you read the message:

-You're single, right?

You responded with a playful tone:

-Why do you ask?

-Just making sure I have no competition ;) was what he sent back before you guys fell into conversation again.

You chuckled at his response, enjoying the playful banter between you two. The conversation continued as you both exchanged texts, each message filled with the same lighthearted banter that had become a familiar routine now.

Before you knew it, hours had passed and you found yourself lying in bed, your phone clutched in your hand as you texted him late into the night. Your eyes were growing heavy, but you didn't want the conversation to end.

You checked the time and realized it was well past midnight. Your eyes were starting to droop, but the thought of ending the conversation with him was strangely disappointing.

After a while, you decided to get straight to the point and sent him a playful question:

-What is it with you being all shy and quiet in person, but all flirty and outgoing through text messages?

You waited for his response, feeling a mix of anticipation and nervousness.

He replied almost instantly, the tone of his message playful yet serious at the same time.

-What can I say? I guess I'm more comfortable expressing myself when I have a screen between us.

You chuckled softly at his response, appreciating his honesty.

-Well, I can't say I mind the flirty and outgoing version of you. It's kind of cute, actually.

-Just wish you would show it in person too

You continued, but he quickly replied,

-Your beauty is too distracting for me to be like this in person..

You blushed at his compliment, your heart fluttering in your chest. But you didn't want to let him off the hook that easily.

-But I like this side of you :(

You continue with a smirk.

-It's a shame you're too shy to show it in person. I wouldn't mind some of that confidence.

He typed out a response, his reply carrying a hint of vulnerability.

-I know, I know. I'm working on it, I swear. It's just... being around you in person makes my heart race, and I can't help but become all tongue-tied.

You smiled at the vulnerability in the message before you replied with:

-If you start being like this with me in person, I’ll let you have free Iced Americanos for the rest of the month, all on me. Pinky promise. You decide to send

His response came a moment later, a playful tone evident through the text.

-You're going to bribe me with free Iced Americanos? That's a tough offer to resist. But I'll try my best to be more outgoing around you in person. Pinky promise.

You texted for a while, before you got sleepy. He, however, went to sleep first with the claim of

-I have so much to do at my job tomorrow 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

with a plethora of crying emojis, You guys shared some sweet “Goodnight ❤️” texts and you went to sleep all giddy and happy, your heart beating out of your chest as you felt your relationship advance.

RAHHH THIS FEELS KINDA LONG, IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF…

~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, Sam didn't text you in the morning, so you just assumed he was busy with his job, you didn't have any classes today so you decided to take a shift for the whole day in the cafe, given that you had nothing to do.

You arrived at your shift, eagerly anticipating his arrival, hoping he would come to the cafe today. As you waited, you scrolled through Instagram, noticing Hyunjin had dyed his hair blonde and shared the news. You set your phone down to attend to a customer that walked in, but as you looked up, your heart skipped a beat.

There he was, the "mysterious" man, Sam, walking into the cafe with a friend. He was now sporting a newly dyed blonde head and... wait a second…

Your brain went into overdrive as you suddenly realized why his friend looked so familiar. It was Bang Chan himself! Standing right there in front of you and Sam..was Hyunjin.

Your hands trembled as you took their order, trying your hardest to maintain your composure.

When you were done preparing their orders, you brought them to their table, heart beating anxiously. You managed to slide a small note to “Sam”, praying Bang Chan didn’t notice.

As you set down the orders, you pointed to the note, silently signaling you needed to talk.

You waited for a moment as they both picked up their orders and took sips, pretending to be occupied by wiping down the counter as you secretly observed them.

Finally, he picked up the note and read it quietly, his expression betraying his shock. He turned to Bang Chan and whispered something we couldn’t hear.

Bang Chan looked at you curiously, but he seemed to understand what was going on.

The mysterious man got up from the table and walked over to you, his friend watching both of you intently.

Your heartbeat was ringing in your ears as you waited for him to speak, unsure of what he was going to say.

"Can we talk? In private?" He asked you, his voice low and serious.

You nodded, signaling to your manager that you were taking a break. He gave you a nod, understanding the situation.

You led him to the small back office, closing the door gently behind you

The room was cramped and quiet, the only sound was the faint noise of the cafe coming from outside.

He took a deep breath before speaking, his eyes locked on yours.

"I have to explain something to you."

“I know, Hyunjin. I had an idea but i didn’t want to assume or pressure you into telling me anything, I'll let you speak now..” You spoke, letting him know that the secret was out.

He let out a shaky breath, the tension in the room palpable.

"You knew?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

"I mean, I had my suspicions," you replied, "But I didn't want to jump to conclusions."

He nodded, a mix of relief and nervousness visible on his face.

"I wanted to tell you, I really did. But it's complicated..." he trailed off, the weight of his secret weighing on him.

You looked at him, your expression gentle and understanding. "You can tell me anything," you reassured him, "I promise I won't judge."

He took another deep breath, steadying himself before beginning his story.

"Remember when I said I had a job that kept me busy?.." he started, his voice wavering.

“Yes..and now I know, that that job, was you doing your K-pop idol duties,” you giggled at your wording.

He chuckled softly at your wording, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

"Yeah, pretty much. But it's not just that."

He ran a hand through his hair, sighing heavily.

"It's this life I lead... the constant schedules, the performances, the pressure... it's all consuming."

He paused, searching for the right words. "And then there's..." he trailed off, hesitating for a moment.

You stayed silent, sensing that he was struggling with something. You reached out and gently touched his arm, offering a reassuring gesture.

"And then there's the secrecy, the constant hiding, the lies we have to tell."

He met your gaze, his eyes filled with a mix of vulnerability and resolve.

"We have to keep this lifestyle under wraps, especially when interacting with non-idols."

He paused, looking down at his hands. "It's like leading two lives..."

"One here, one in the spotlight. It's exhausting."

He looked up at you, searching your face for any signs of judgment or disgust.

"And then there's you," he continued, his voice softer now. "I met you that day, and it was like a breath of fresh air. You didn't know me as an idol, you just saw me as a regular person."

"It was different... exciting, even. Being able to act like a normal person again."

He chuckled slightly, a hint of bitterness in his tone. "And I wanted to keep that, I really did..."

"But I also knew I couldn't keep hiding it from you forever..."

He looked at you, his expression a mix of guilt and hope.

"I was scared of how you would react... if you would see me differently."

“I don’t see you differently, not at all. It makes sense that you kept this a secret. I don't want what we have to end, I haven't had anyone talk to me like you have for the past few weeks, not even my parents, it feels like they just forgot about me after I moved here. But this isn't about me. I would never see you differently” You confessed.

He let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding, his shoulders visibly relaxing.

"You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that..."

He took a step closer to you, his gaze locked on yours.

"I was so scared of losing you... of losing this."

He reached out and gently took your hand in his, his touch sending a jolt of electricity through you.

"You've become really important to me, more important than you could ever know..."

He looked down at your intertwined hands, his thumb gently rubbing circles on your skin.

"I didn't realize how lonely I was, how much I missed just... being around someone who saw me for me, not for who I am on stage."

He looked back up, his eyes searching yours.

"You have no idea how much you've changed my life, just by being here for me."

You were taken aback by his words, the vulnerability in his eyes making your heart ache with empathy.

"I'm here for you," you replied, squeezing his hand gently. "That hasn't changed, and it won't."

Hyunjin squeezed your hand a little bit before his face broke out in a smile, “You don't realize how many times the guys have argued with me over me leaving them to come here. The sense of normalcy you gave me was just so…addictive. I don't know, I really like being around you..”

You chuckled softly, imagining the playful banter between him and the other members.

"So you're saying I'm your escape from the K-pop life?" you teased jokingly.

He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Something like that, yeah."

He paused, his expression softening as he looked at you.

"You're like a breath of fresh air amidst all the chaos."

You blushed slightly at his words, not used to such direct compliments.

"I'm glad I can provide some normalcy for you," you said with a small smile.

"More than some, trust me," he replied, a hint of playful banter sneaking back into his tone.

He took another step closer, his hand still holding yours.

"You're a distraction I didn't know I needed."

“And I'm glad to be that. But now, I won't be paying for your little iced americanos, and you know why.”

You giggled, teasing him.

He feigned a pout, a smirk on his face.

"Oh come on, not fair. I thought I was special," he playfully whined.

You stuck your tongue out at him, unable to resist joining in on the playful banter.

"Special privileges only go so far, mister K-pop star," you teased.

He chuckled, his smirk widening.

"Mister K-pop star, huh? I like that."

He inched closer, his proximity making your heart race.

"And what would it take to keep those special privileges?"

You feigned contemplation, pretending to think.

"Hmm, let's see...go out with me?"

You gave him a smile, knowing full well you had the upper hand now.

He raised an eyebrow, a mixture of surprise and amusement on his face.

"Oh really? You're getting demanding now."

He closed the remaining gap between you, standing mere inches away.

"And if I say no?"

“I’ll keep you locked in here until you say yes.” You say playfully.

He chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

"Is that a threat or a promise?"

He tilted his head slightly, a smirk playing on his lips.

“Take it as you want to take it. I, however, want an answer.” You say.

He chuckled again, enjoying your playful banter.

"Alright, alright. You drive a hard bargain."

He pretended to mull over the decision, his hand still holding onto yours.

"How about... yes. I'll go out with you."

You feigned surprise, pretending like you didn't expect him to agree so quickly.

"Oh, really? Just like that?"

You smiled, unable to hide your satisfaction.

He laughed, seeing through your act.

"Hey, you left me no room to say no, remember?"

He squeezed your hand, his gaze shifting to your intertwined fingers.

You chuckled, enjoying the way his touch made your heart skip a beat.

"That was the plan."

You looked up at him, a playful glint in your eye.

"You should know better than to challenge me."

“Also, I think we left your friend alone, that's not very nice..” You say.

Hyunjin's expression shifted to realization as you reminded him of Chan waiting for him outside.

"Oh shoot, I totally forgot about him," he said with a sheepish grin.

He looked at you apologetically. "I got a little distracted..."

He began to back away, still holding your hand in his.

"I should probably go back out there, before he starts asking questions."

You gave his hand a playful tug, pulling him back towards you.

"And just abandon me here, alone in this cramped office? How cruel."

You pouted dramatically, feigning sadness.

He chuckled, unable to resist your playful act.

"Cruel, huh? I'm pretty sure I'm the one who's just been ambushed."

He took a step closer again, the proximity between you causing your heart to race once more.

“Im joking, I'm joking! Go!”

He sighed dramatically, playing along.

"Fine, fine. You win this time."

He took a step back, reluctantly releasing your hand.

"I'll go back out there, but only because I don't want Chan getting suspicious."

He paused for a moment, looking back at you with a smirk.

"But this isn't over."

He turned and walked back out of the office, leaving you alone with your racing heart and a smile on your face.

You stayed in the office for a moment, leaning against a nearby wall as you tried to calm your racing heart. You couldn't help but feel giddy at the way the conversation had turned out.

After a few deep breaths, you composed yourself and walked back out into the main area of the cafe.

Your gaze immediately landed on Hyunjin, who was playfully arguing with Chan about something you couldn't quite catch. You chuckled to yourself as you watched them banter back and forth.

As if sensing your gaze, Hyunjin glanced over at you, his expression changing to a sheepish smile.

Chan, noticing Hyunjin's glance, followed his gaze and spotted you.

He looked at you for a moment, his expression unreadable, before turning back to Hyunjin and smirking.

You could see Hyunjin's face flush with embarrassment as Chan said something to him, and you couldn't help but feel a pang of curiousity. What was he saying?

Hyunjin muttered something back, his expression defensive, and Chan chuckled.

You continued with your tasks, trying to subtly listen in on their banter while pretending to work.

Their conversation was hushed, so you couldn't catch every word, but you could tell they were talking about you from the way they would occasionally look over in your direction.

Hyunjin seemed to be getting progressively more flustered as Chan continued to tease him, and you wondered what exactly he was saying to make him so red in the face.

Eventually, Chan patted Hyunjin on the shoulder to signal an end to the conversation, and Hyunjin let out a sigh of relief. He looked over at you, his expression a mix of embarrassment and amusement.

You shot him a playful smirk, your eyebrow raised in a silent question.

He chuckled and rolled his eyes, his expression conveying the message of "Don't ask" very clearly.

Hyunjin approached you, looking a bit flushed from the conversation with Bang Chan. As Chan headed towards the door, Hyunjin paused in front of you, a playful twinkle in his eye. He looked at you for a moment before gently lifting his mask, revealing his face. Leaning in, he planted a soft kiss on your flushed cheek, his lips lingering for a moment before he pulled back with a flustered grin.

He walked outside where Chan was standing and Chan chuckled at the sight giving Hyunjin a playful nudge, which caused Hyunjin to fluster even more as they walked away from the cafe.

You stood there, your heart racing and a stunned expression on your face. Your hand slowly came up to touch your cheek where Hyunjin had kissed you, the lingering warmth of his lips sending shivers down your spine.

- My story on how I got into K-pop is long, but let me cut it short for you! ↓↓

: 2019 - Randomly found an ATEEZHello82 interview during their ‘Wonderland’ promotions, became obsessed with the song, and added it to my playlist. Couple days later, I found a Kard Interview from their ‘Bomb Bomb’ promotions from a couple months earlier, became obsessed with the song, and also added it to my playlist. Couple days later, found ‘Boy With Luv’ by BTS, and while I didn’t like the song much, I enjoyed the video and was interested, leading me to look into them. BTS was the first group I stanned.

: 2020 - Introduced my older cousin to BTS and she became obsessed, obsessed to the point where she claimed biases and told me i couldn’t favorite the same songs as her or even bias the same members, this put me off and I slowly drifted from them.

: 2021 - Forgot that the BTS songs, ‘Wonderland’ and ‘Bomb Bomb’ were Kpop and I listened to them as if it was the like the rest of the music in my playlist, (except it wasn’t, i used to not separate my playlists so it was a jumbled mess of 80’s, Childish Gambino, Nu-Metal, Skindred, SOAD, Rock, Arctic Monkeys (literally their whole discography) and Måneskin. (so many more artists but im too lazy, basically, i listen to everything)

: 2022 : Early 2022 - Removed the Kpop songs from my playlist, leading me to forget about them. Late 2022 (Around October) - Asked my best friend who was very much into Kpop to recommend me some music, and I looked into it.

: 2023 (April) - Had a bunch of Kpop songs in a separate playlist, and came across a Kpop in public video, the song in it was ‘Maniac’ by SKZ which I then became obsessed with, that song led me to ‘Case 143’ which i listened to for months, and it intriguedme to the point where I thought “I HAVE to stan this group” and I looked into a guide. Then, 2023 (May) I fully considered myself both a Stay and a Kpop stan.

Later in the month: Started stanning other groups.

There's my story of how I got into K-pop, it's the shortest I could make it 😔.

The next few days passed in a blur, filled with excitement and anticipation. You and Hyunjin texted non-stop, your conversations becoming more frequent and intimate. You shared stories, jokes, and even mundane details about your days. It felt like you were getting to know him on a deeper level, and each text made you smile wider.

Finally, payday arrived. You had been eagerly waiting for this moment, saving every penny to afford the upcoming Stray Kids concert. The moment you saw the notification that your salary had been deposited, you rushed to the ticketing website. Your heart raced as you entered your payment details, and a wave of relief washed over you when the confirmation email popped up on your screen. You had your ticket.

You couldn’t wait to tell Hyunjin the news. Grinning, you quickly typed out a message:

-Guess who got paid! Just bought a ticket for the upcoming concert. But tell your company to chill with these prices, it’s like they don’t want us poor people to be happy 😞😞

His reply came almost instantly.

-YOU BOUGHT TICKETS??? You could’ve easily got them for free. FROM ME😡😡

You chuckled at his dramatic reaction and responded just as quickly,

-No, I don’t want to abuse my powers of being close to you. That’s called ‘Using people’ and I don’t do that 😤

Hyunjin was persistent, as always.

-YOU WOULDN'T BE USING ME BECAUSE I’M THE ONE THAT WANTS TO GIVE IT TO YOU. Whatever, at least I’ll get to see your pretty face at the concert. ANSWER MY CALL!!

A video call notification popped up on your screen. With a flutter of excitement, you answered. Hyunjin’s face appeared, his expression warm and happy.

“Hey!” he greeted, his voice soft and full of affection. “I can’t believe you bought the ticket. You’re really something else, you know that?”

You laughed. “Well, I couldn’t miss the chance to see you guys perform live. Plus, I wanted to surprise you.”

The conversation flowed effortlessly. You talked about the concert, your excitement evident in every word. You discussed potential outfits, each trying to outdo the other with creative ideas. The hours flew by, and before you knew it, night had fallen.

Both of you had your phones plugged in, and you continued talking until your eyes grew heavy. The sound of Hyunjin’s voice was comforting, and you found yourself slowly drifting off to sleep. Your phones were propped up on your dressers, ensuring that if either of you woke up earlier than the other, you could see each other sleeping.

Morning came with a jolt. You woke to the sound of chaos from Hyunjin’s end. Han, Seungmin, and Felix had burst into his room, determined to wake him up in the most obnoxious way possible. Han was jumping on the bed, Felix was making bizarre noises with his mouth, and Seungmin was hitting Hyunjin’s face with a pillow.

You watched the scene unfold, unable to contain your laughter. You quickly screen recorded the hilarious wake-up call, wanting to keep the memory forever. Your amusement, however, was cut short when Han grabbed Hyunjin’s phone.

“Guys, look!” Han called out, waving the phone around.

Felix and Seungmin crowded around, their eyes widening when they saw you on the screen. Realizing what was happening, you quickly hung up, your heart racing.

Hyunjin, still half-asleep, groaned. “What the hell are Seungmin and Felix doing here? This isn’t their dorm.”

Seungmin and Felix ignored his question, their attention fixed on him. “Who was the girl on the phone?” Seungmin demanded, a mischievous glint in his eye.

Han, always the instigator, cheekily added, “Yeah, Hyunjin. Who’s the girl? You’ve brought her to the dorm before, right? And didn’t Chan say she’s the girl from the coffee shop you keep going to?”

Hyunjin rubbed his eyes, trying to wake up fully. “Yeah, that’s her,” he admitted, his voice groggy but affectionate. “We’ve been talking a lot lately.”

Felix grinned. “Talking, huh? Is that all?”

Hyunjin rolled his eyes but smiled. “Yes, talking. And maybe a bit more. But seriously, leave her alone, okay? She’s special to me.”

The trio continued to tease him throughout the day, following him around and bombarding him with questions. Despite the relentless ribbing, Hyunjin’s thoughts remained on you and the upcoming concert. He couldn’t wait to see you there, amidst the energy and excitement of the crowd.

As night fell, the boys finally relented. Hyunjin retreated to his room, exhausted but happy. He picked up his phone and sent you a quick text: “Can’t wait to see you at the concert. It’s going to be amazing.”

Your reply came moments later: “I can’t wait either. It’s going to be unforgettable.”

Hyunjin smiled to himself, feeling a warmth spread through his chest. The concert was just around the corner, and with you there, it was sure to be an experience he would cherish forever.
