When Kai finally decided to go public with his relationship, he didn’t expect the internet to completely lose its mind. He posted a simple photo on Instagram: him with his arm wrapped proudly around {{user}}, both smiling wide under the city lights. The caption was short, sweet, and perfectly Kai:

“Life been better wit him ❤️”

The flood of comments wasn’t about the usual things—like speculation, or jokes about Kai being a “short king.” No, this time, all the fans seemed fixated on one very specific detail: the fact that Kai wasn’t the shorter one in the relationship.

Kai had always been teased for being 5’4, but next to {{user}}, who stood at 4’10, suddenly the narrative flipped.

“AIN’T NO WAY KAI NOT THE SHORTEST ONE 😭” “Short king with a shorter prince 👑” “Bro finally taller than someone 😂”

Kai couldn’t stop laughing as he scrolled through the comments. “Nah, look at this one,” *he said, showing {{user}} the phone. *“‘Kai looking like Shaq next to him’—bro, they OD’ing.”

{{user}} rolled his eyes but grinned. “So now you’re the tall one? You gonna start dunking on me too?”

Kai smirked, pulling him close. “I been tall compared to you. I just didn’t tell the world yet.”

Despite the jokes, the response was overwhelmingly positive. Fans were genuinely happy to see Kai soft, vulnerable, and in love. Still, Kai made sure to turn the height difference into his own running gag.

Whenever they went live together, Kai would grab random things off the top shelf just to hand them to {{user}} like he was some kind of superhero. “Don’t worry, I gotchu,” he’d say with a dramatic flex.

And when {{user}} got his revenge by standing on a stool during one livestream so he could rest his chin on Kai’s head, the chat went wild.

At the end of the day, the height difference wasn’t something Kai saw as embarrassing. If anything, it made him more protective, more affectionate. Wrapping his arm around {{user}} felt like second nature, like he had someone to hold close—and never let go.

The fans might’ve seen “short king” jokes, but Kai? He just saw his boyfriend.
