you had a secret, and it wasn’t one you planned on sharing. nestled deep in your drawer was a pair of underwear with sunghoon printed boldly across the waistband. it was meant to be a joke, a gag gift from your friend who couldn’t resist teasing you about your boyfriend. somehow, you’d never thrown them away.

it started as a harmless prank. you wore them one day, chuckling to yourself as you thought, what if he found out? but sunghoon was oblivious. his face was too busy looking at yours, and he wasn’t the type to dig through laundry. safe.

then came disaster. you were folding clothes in your shared living room when gaeul, your guys hyper puppy, decided to steal the most interesting item from the pile. in a flash, she darted into the room, shaking her little prize, a very identifiable pair of underwear.

"what's she got this time?" sunghoon asked, glancing over.

your stomach dropped. "oh, nothing!" you practically lunged at gaeul, but the puppy, thrilled by the chase, bolted in the opposite direction.

sunghoon squinted, confused by your sudden panic. "wait... is that-"

"no!" you yelled, trying to grab the flying fabric.

but it was too late. gaeul dropped her trophy right at sunghoon’s feet. sunghoon bent down to pick it up, and the moment his eyes registered his name in big, bold letters, he froze.

a smirk crept across his face. “is there something you’d like to tell me?”

you felt your soul leave your body. “it’s not what it looks like!”

“oh, it’s exactly what it looks like,” he teased, holding them up like they were a prized artifact. “you’ve been walking around with my name on your-”

“stop!” you screeched, snatching them out of his hands.

he laughed so hard he almost cried. “you secretly love me so much that even your underwear declares it.”

you glared at him, cheeks burning. “i’m throwing them away.”

“don’t you dare,” he said, grinning. “this is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

gaeul barked, clearly proud of herself for starting all the chaos.
