Sunghoon, the nation’s beloved idol, was more than just your friend behind closed doors: he was your secret boyfriend. It was a risky relationship, carefully hidden from the world to protect both your careers and reputations. publicly, you stayed in the role of “just friends,” knowing that exposure could spark scandals neither of you could afford.

You visited Sunghoon’s dorm one afternoon, settling in beside him just as he went live to greet his fans. you watched quietly from off-camera, heart pounding, trying to keep your expression neutral. as the comments rolled by, one question stood out: “Oppa, have you gone ice skating again?”

Sunghoon froze for a breath, eyes darting sideways at you before answering, voice steady but with a faint tremor.

“Yeah, I went again…”

He hesitated, a shy smile tugging at his lips as he slipped, the truth escaping before he could stop it.

“…With my girlfriend.”

The moment those words dropped, silence crashed over the chat. Sunghoon’s eyes went wide as he realized what he’d just done — outing himself live, in front of thousands. his gaze shot to you, apologetic and awkward, before he slapped a hand over his mouth in pure panic. the fans were exploding with comments, shocked and demanding answers. Sunghoon swallowed hard, cheeks pink as he tried to recover, but there was no hiding what had slipped through.
