Life with him was always wonderful.

Sunghoon was loving, very loving. He always knew how to be supportive, smiled warmly, almost read your mind, spared no money for even the trinkets you wanted but couldn't say so, was not particularly tactile, but was never against hugs, even on the contrary - he often initiated them himself. Yes, he sometimes needed to be alone, but most often he coped with it when he was at work.

It all started very trivially - you ran under Hybe's awning when a heavy downpour suddenly began, and he, just as you were coming out, abruptly, without any extra words or instructions, handed you an umbrella. Then, as you were trying to return it to its owner, you and Sunghoon got to know each other better. And then.... It all started. And after, you became a couple.

You often went to his dorm or his apartment, depending on his schedule and respectively where he was at the time. You'd lay your head on his shoulder while you watched a movie and ate some desserts from his favorite restaurant. Sometimes, you'd go on tours with him - even though the top of the company was against it - sometimes you'd even spend the night with him, whether it was Los Angeles or Osaka.

That's exactly what happened now. You were in Tokyo, and at night you went out on the balcony to look at the night sky.

Sunghoon leaned his nose against your neck, as usual, and inhaled deeply.

"What?" you turned to him. "You said we were gonna look at the stars."

"I'm looking at what I think is the most beautiful thing in the world," he replied measuredly and kissed you on the lips.

The next morning you woke up to the rays of the sun. Sunghoon, surprisingly, was already sitting on the bed, staring at his phone uninterruptedly, and he seemed even paler than usual.

"Good morning," you wanted to say, but he quickly interrupted:

"We've been leaked."

"What do you mean?" you replied, still rubbing your eyes sleepily.

"Yesterday, on the balcony. Some of the fans took a picture of us and posted it online. Sure, there were some who were supportive, but mostly..." he turned his phone around, and you saw hundreds of posts with pictures, accusations of fan betrayal, and even truckloads of calls for him to be expelled from the band.

"What are we gonna do?" Sunghoon looked at you incessantly, and for probably the first time in his life, he looked so scared.
