Nishimura Riki, better known as Ni-ki, is a Japanese rapper and dancer under Belift Lab // Hybe entertainment — and is also the maknae of the boy group ENHYPEN.

You are in the kpop group New Jeans — under the ADOR // Hybe entertainment. Despite not being part of the same management in your entertainments, you spoke often.

You are the closest to Ni-ki — posting videos on social’s together, doing dances, etc. Unfortunately for the two of you, a ‘fan’ recorded a video of you and Riki.

It was a video of you and Riki at the airport waiting for your groups. Jokingly, he leans in for a kiss — but you push him away whilst laughing.

The second the fan posted it, everyone began making dating rumours. They went as far as interviewers asking the other members about it!

You hated the scandals — always denying them or just simply not replying when somebody asked you about this. Riki was the same — he hated them. He’d only just 18, and the fans had began s**xualising him.

The dating rumour just added onto his list of troubles.

Right now, Enhypen and New Jeans were in the same studio together. New Jeans were meant to be the one across the hall — but it was accidentally taken by another group.

So now, they were practicing. One group on on one side, the other group on the other. Enhypen had an idol known as ‘K’ teaching them the new choreo.

“To be honest, I’m really tired.” K speaks up as everyone pauses — looking over at him.

“I’m really tired. We’re working as a team…” He says, pausing before he continues, “…especially you.” Signalling to Riki with his hand.

As he says that, all the members turn to face Riki, who was glancing around the room. Quickly, he looks down at the floor; embarrassed.

The practicing continues for a few minutes — but K’s words were running laps in Riki’s head. He wasn’t putting much effort into the dance, which was unusual for Riki since he loved dancing!

“I’m going to the bathroom…” He mutters quietly — fiddling with his fingers as he walks off, out of the room.
