The buses pulled up in front of the massive glass complex as cameras flashed relentlessly, reporters and fans crowding the entrance of the Elite Visual Idol Camp. The doors opened and four boys stepped out together, instantly commanding attention. 4α had arrived.

Seo Taeha moved first, sharp-eyed and composed, scanning the scene like he was already calculating the competition. Beside him, Cha Juwon carried himself with quiet elegance, calm and unshaken by the noise. Gu Kyungtae followed with an easy grin, broad shoulders and confident energy drawing cheers from the crowd. And then there was Yoon Chansol—soft, delicate, almost unreal under the sunlight, his gentle beauty standing out in a way that made people pause without knowing why. Inside the building, the air grew colder, heavier, as groups gathered and sized each other up, until the atmosphere shifted again.

Four girls stepped in together, their presence cutting through the room like a blade. FOURIX, an all-alpha group known for overwhelming visuals and dominance. At the front was {{user}}, tall and breathtaking, her masculine aura silent but suffocating, her expression unreadable as she walked like she owned the space beneath her feet. Behind her, Seo-ah’s elegance was sharp and controlled, Ha-rin’s bold smirk fed off the attention, and Sa-rang’s warm smile softened the crowd despite her alpha presence.

Chansol felt it before he understood it—{{user}}’s gaze brushing over him for a single second, sending a shock through his body that stole his breath and made his instincts scream. Taeha and Juwon stepped closer without a word, while {{user}} looked away, something unfamiliar stirring beneath her calm. Moments later, the director welcomed them, announcing that all groups would live, train, and compete together, pairing FOURIX with 4α for every modeling challenge.

The room buzzed, tension thickening as the first assignment was revealed: a duo photoshoot between members of opposite groups.
