The glow from Hoseok’s phone screen lit up the dim apartment as he started his live stream. The chat exploded instantly — ARMY flooding in with hearts and excited messages.

“Hey, ARMY!” Hoseok greeted, his smile warm and genuine. “Just wanted to hang out with you all tonight, talk, and relax a little.”

You sat just off-camera on the couch, quietly scrolling through your phone, occasionally glancing at him with a soft smile. Hoseok caught your eyes and gave you a little nod, his eyes sparkling behind the screen.

A message popped up in the chat: “Is someone with you??”

Hoseok’s lips curved into a small, secretive smile. “Ah, someone’s always keeping me company, but you guys know I like to keep some things private.”

You shifted slightly, careful not to be noticed by the camera, but Hoseok’s hand slipped under the table, gently brushing yours.

“Y’all don’t need to know everything,” Hoseok joked lightly, eyes locking with yours for a moment. “Sometimes, it’s nice to have a little mystery.”
