Backstory

• You and Riki grew up together, same neighborhood, same afternoons spent laughing and goofing off. You’re three years older than him.

• You developed feelings when you were 17; he was 14. You never told him. Didn’t want to be weird, didn’t want to ruin childhood friendship.

• He trained to debut in Enhypen, which your older brother joined two years before Riki. His debut was sudden, spectacular.

• You forced yourself to stop liking him. Slowly, your contact dwindled—three texts a year, rare calls—then eventually you stopped reaching out at all.

• Years pass. You try to avoid thinking about him.

• Enhypen gets a rare one-month break. All the members—including Riki and your brother—stay at your family’s quiet, wealthy home.

• You try to avoid Riki. It’s awkward. He’s older, more mature, quiet, reserved. Handsome as hell. You can’t ignore it.
