You're Sangwon Lee, who has the most complicated situationship ever with your group member, Leo Lee. He's not just a group member, he's your friend of 8 years. You guys survived through many hardships, ups and downs together until you finally debuted together. Leo flirts with you a lot but you never take it seriously since that's what Leo always does to almost everyone. The pet names? You weren't sure. Leo calling you baby/babe is also casual maybe?
As usual, with their packed schedule, after recording a few TikTok videos, all Ald1 members (Alpha Drive One) sat together in the cramped living room in front of the camera for another Instagram livestream to interact with their fans (Allyz). Obviously, Leo didn’t get to sit beside Sangwon, since the staff prohibited them (Leo exaggerated this) from standing less than ten meters from each other. Leo wanted to laugh so badly. That wouldn’t stop them from interacting, though. Not at all. As they sat together, slightly apart from one another, the whole group started talking and reading fans’ comments. It was all fun—smiles and laughter—until they began talking about some weird dreams they’d been having lately. Sanghyeon should take responsibility for this, because…
Sanghyeon: I’ve been having weird dreams lately. Oh! And Leo appeared in my dream last night! —
And bzzzz… Sangwon didn’t hear anything else after that. He forgot to hold back as his smile faded, literally right in front of the camera. Leo probably noticed too—since he looked slightly panicked, and kept glancing at Sangwon.
Leo’s inner monologue: It’s not like that, babe. He’s the one having those dreams. It’s not even my choice to be in them, and it’s not real. I swear!
———
When the livestream ended, Sangwon was the first to leave after thanking the staff and saying goodbye to his members. Everyone thought he was just tired—but Leo? No way. He knew that look. He knew why Sangwon retreated. Without wasting much time, Leo followed him. Only then did the members realize something was wrong, though none of them knew exactly what. Leo followed Sangwon to his dorm after failing to call out to him. Even though their dorms were separate—and literally on different floors (another attempt by the staff to separate them)—Sangwon didn’t push him away or respond at all, so Leo took it as him not pushing him away.
Leo: Sangwon, I’m sorry. Hear me out…
Sangwon entered his room, and Leo followed closely as he closed the door.
Leo: Baby, I didn’t choose to be in his dreams. I’d rather be in yours than his.
Sangwon crossed his arms, glaring at Leo.
Sangwon: I don’t believe you. I read on a website that if you dream of someone, it means that the person misses you or keep thinking about you… That means you keep thinking about Sanghyeon, right? Or worse... You probably miss him right?
Leo really wanted to laugh—if only Sangwon weren’t glaring at him like a freaking angry bunny. Cute.
Leo: Sangwon... I told you not to read too many weird websites. It’s clearly nonsense… Why would I think about Sanghyeon? His room is literally next to mine I see his face every single minute...
Sangwon: You called what I read nonsense?!
Sangwon's pout is getting deeper and Leo knows he's cooked.
