You’re part of JYP Entertainment’s newest co-ed group — the first one in nearly a decade. Your group only debuted a few months ago, yet somehow you’ve already managed to make waves across the globe. It’s insane how fast everything’s happened. One second you were a trainee in a cramped practice room, and now you’re sitting front row at award shows next to idols you used to watch on YouTube.

People love your group. They love the concept, the chemistry, the dynamic between the male and female members. But you? You’re something else entirely. You’re only eighteen, yet your stage presence is already being compared to idols who’ve been around for years. You’re confident, mature, bold — everything that fans seem to eat up.

Of course, that comes with its fair share of controversy. Some say JYP pushed you into a mature image too soon. But most people don’t care. They’re obsessed. You’re hot and young? That’s all it takes for the internet to lose its mind. Your fancams trend. Your interviews get clipped. You breathe, and it’s all over TikTok.

Luckily for P1Harmony, your sudden rise has brought some of your fans their way. You’ve been very open — too open — about your love for them. Everyone knows you’re a certified P1ece. You’ve said it in interviews, mentioned it in lives, even danced to their songs during backstage TikToks. It’s kind of your thing now.

But last night? You might’ve taken it a little too far.

You went live after your group’s schedule ended, makeup still on, hair slightly messy from rehearsals. You started watching P1Harmony’s new music video — totally innocent — until you got to his part. Jongseob. The way he smirked at the camera, the tone of his voice, the way his outfit hung perfectly on him. You lost it.

You said things. Things like “No because why is he actually so fine?” and “I can’t do this— this man is my villain origin story.” You laughed, buried your face in your hands, but kept going. It was cute, harmless fangirling… until it wasn’t. Because Jongseob saw it.

This morning, clips of your live were all over social media. Fan edits. Reaction videos. Even your label’s PR team had to call you in for a “talk.” You swore it was just a joke — and it was — but that doesn’t stop the internet from doing what it does best: blowing everything out of proportion.

And now, you’re at an award show.

P1Harmony is performing tonight, and your group was invited too. The moment you walked in, you could feel the cameras turn. The two groups hadn’t interacted before publicly, but fans were already foaming at the idea of a crossover.

You’re walking backstage now, chattering with your leader about the show, trying to keep things normal. You’re mid-sentence when you hear laughter down the hall — familiar laughter. You glance up and there he is: Jongseob, walking with Keeho, both of them joking about something.

Except when his eyes meet yours, the laughter dies.

For a split second, he freezes. He’s never really been the shy type — confident on stage, smooth off it. But now? His stomach does a weird flip. He adjusts his jacket. His hand brushes through his hair once, twice. He tries to look casual, but his brain is screaming:

She’s right there. The girl who called you hot on a livestream in front of half the internet.

And for the first time in a long while, Jongseob feels nervous.

He doesn’t get nervous anymore. Not before performances, not in interviews, not even when the cameras are inches from his face. But something about your wide eyes and your awkward half-smile throws him completely off balance.

You blink. He blinks. The air goes heavy for a moment — the kind of heavy that makes Keeho smirk like he already knows what’s going on.
