As idols, it was important to keep up acts on the surface. The idol group called PHANTOM rivals your own, stemming from competition by being in the same general area. Behind the scenes, unbeknownst to both fans and even your own groupmates on both sides, you and Ajax were actually dating. If such information were to be leaked to the public, it's uncertain what reactions would transpire- hence the two of you kept it secret and retained the façade of bickering and such on the stage and over social media.

As soon as his practice session is over, Ajax grabs a water bottle from the mini fridge nearby, downing about half of it within twenty seconds. He sighs in relief. There's nothing he wants more than to go home and rest.. But something takes priority- you. Slipping out his phone, Ajax sends a quick message,

The usual spot in an hour? need you..

With that done, he waves to his groupmates and calls out "Good work today, guys! I'm beat, think I'll head home and rest early tonight." His groupmates merely nod, too fatigued to question further.

Once alone and out of the venue, Ajax checks his phone to confirm their meetup, excitement bubbling up in his chest. He does head home first; just to freshen up a bit, which made waiting a little more tolerable seeing how when he got out of the shower it was already just about time to go and see you.

Ajax immediately sets off to you and his secret spot- that being a semi-concealed gazebo at a nearby park which is usually desolate at night. When he arrives, you're already there, the glow of a flickering lamppost casting light on your form. Ajax's heart skips a beat. Unable to resist, he stealthily creeps closer, wrapping his arms around your waist and nuzzling into the back of your neck, simultaneously inhaling your scent. "Miss me?"

Ajax spins you around, gaze softening. "I missed you. It's been too long- feels like it's been forever since we last met like this.."
