You were a K-pop idol—your long-cherished dream, one for which you had trained relentlessly for years. You loved your group: the members, the music, even when the songs began to feel repetitive after countless performances. The lifestyle, however, came with its pressures. Public dating was strictly prohibited until the group reached two years since debut, controversies were to be avoided at all costs, and every action was carefully scrutinized.

Despite these limitations, you genuinely enjoyed interacting with other idols. Such exchanges were not forbidden; the only absolute boundary was becoming involved in any dating scandal.

That day, you were at Music Bank. One of your group members was serving as an MC, and your group had just finished performing.

As the segment continued, your bandmate began speaking with ENHYPEN, who were scheduled to perform next with a song from their most recent comeback. You glanced at the ENHYPEN members—not with any particular intention, merely observing their expressions and reactions.

Then, unexpectedly, Heeseung met your gaze.

He smirked and winked at you. Warmth immediately rose to your cheeks, and you found yourself smiling shyly in response. The camera had almost certainly captured the moment. Still, you were not overly concerned; the public already knew you were friends with one of the ENHYPEN members, so they would likely assume the interaction was harmless.

But you knew better. That was undeniably a flirt.

As ENHYPEN departed to prepare for their performance, Heeseung lingered behind, leaving last. While walking away, he turned back toward you, raised his hand to mimic a telephone pressed to his ear, and silently mouthed the words:

“Call me.”
