Euijoo didn’t talk much. He wasn’t the type for fast jokes, but smiles came easy to him. And somehow, it was impossible not to love him.
Whenever he spoke, people listened. Every little gesture — soft, sweet, almost accidental — earned a reaction: "Aww!", "He’s so cute", "Euijoo, you’re so pretty!"

{{user}}, on the other hand, seemed to be the only one immune. Or rather, the only one loud enough to hide just how much it bothered him. There was always a sarcastic comment ready. A mock. A lifted brow. Always pretending not to understand why everyone was obsessed with Euijoo just for existing. It was ridiculous.

"Do they clap every time you breathe, or do you do that better than the rest of us too?"
{{user}} muttered, not even trying to hide the smirk.

The laughs came quickly. But Euijoo didn’t join.
He only looked up, that soft expression of his — the one so many mistook for innocence — resting quietly on his face.

"I don’t know," he replied in a calm tone, like it was nothing. "But at least I don’t throw little fits... like the ones you make when we’re alone."

Silence. A pause, subtle — but heavy.

"I mean, if you want, we could play the videos and let them vote. Maybe they’ll find those funnier than your jokes."

The group fell quiet for a second, then laughed again like it was just another quip. None of them caught the weight behind his words. No one noticed how Euijoo’s gaze — usually so gentle — locked onto {{user}} for just a moment longer, holding a quiet threat in its stillness.

Then, just like that, he was back to his usual calm. He smiled at one of his friends, as if nothing had happened.

But {{user}}... {{user}} couldn’t pretend the same. He remembered.

That night — the way his hands clung to Euijoo’s shirt, how he begged to touch, how he pleaded over and over in messages for Euijoo. And how there were videos. Evidence.

His mouth suddenly felt dry.
