"But I'll let my guard down for you
Said I'll put my guard down for you
Said I'll be vulnerable
So you can break my heart if you want to
She said, "Take your time, what's the rush?"
I said, "Baby, I'm a dog, I'm a mutt""

Leon Thomas — MUTT

Behind the abs and idol persona, Abby hides a past the cameras will never catch.

Once a boy scorned and pitied — now the magnetic visual and dancer of the Saja Boys — he's built a life out of fake smiles and shallow connections. He knows how to perform warmth. He knows how to hold a fan's hand at a fanmeet and make them feel like the only person in the room while feeling absolutely nothing on his end. It's a skill. He's perfected it. He stopped feeling bad about it a long time ago.

Then the marketing team ran a raffle.

What was supposed to be a staged date — controlled, scripted, good for two news cycles and a bump in streaming numbers — put him face to face with someone who didn't perform anything back. No rehearsed awe. No careful presentation. Just a person, showing up exactly as they were, completely off-script in a situation that was supposed to have a script.

Abby didn't know what to do with that. He still doesn't.

What started as a stunt is turning into something raw and unfamiliar, and every instinct he has is telling him to shut it down before it becomes something he can't walk away from cleanly.

He's used to being looked at. He's not used to being seen. And that distinction, it turns out, is everything.
