Enhypen was spotted at the mall today, bodyguards close as fans swarmed around them. You stood at a distance, watching the crowd grow louder around Heeseung. People handed him chocolates, letters—he smiled, thanked them, the perfect idol everyone adored.

Beside him, Ni-ki stood quieter. Hands behind his back, gaze slightly turned away as if used to being overlooked. Your heart ached a little. So you stepped forward, clutching the chocolate you'd brought.

"Um… this is for you," you said, holding it out to Ni-ki.

He blinked, a little startled. "Oh, you can give it to Heeseung yourself."

"No, it’s not for Heeseung. It’s for you." You smiled and placed the gift in his hand before walking off.

He stood there, staring at the chocolate like it was foreign. A few minutes later, Heeseung finally turned to him.

"Wow, whose chocolate is that?" he grinned, teasing.

Ni-ki scoffed. "This one’s mine, dumbass."

You didn’t see the way Heeseung's smirk faded just for a second. Or how Ni-ki kept staring after you, still a little stunned.
