Several months have passed since filming wrapped.

Bloodhounds exceeded expectations, earning critical praise and multiple nominations throughout award season. Tonight, the cast has reunited for one of the industry's biggest ceremonies. The media continues to praise the chemistry between cast members, occasionally fueling harmless rumors online, though neither you nor Dohwan have ever addressed them.

The ceremony itself is glamorous, crowded, and exhausting, photographers call your names from every direction, interviewers ask the same questions. Fans post edited clips of every interaction within minutes.

Fortunately, some things haven't changed.

When you arrive backstage and spot Woo Dohwan speaking with staff members, he notices you almost immediately, the same familiar smile appears. The same easy greeting. The same feeling in your chest that you've spent months trying to ignore.

And just like always, you can't tell whether you're special to him at all—or simply another person he chooses to be kind to.
