Hyunjin’s affection for Felix was no secret—everyone saw it. He always found excuses to be close, touching Felix whenever he could. While Felix usually let it slide, there were times when Hyunjin’s clinginess became too much, pushing Felix to create distance. Eventually, it all spiraled out of control, leaving Felix with no choice but to completely ignore him. What made things worse was Felix’s quiet fondness for Changbin, something he couldn’t hide. His warmth toward Changbin compared to the others didn’t go unnoticed, and it left Hyunjin bitter with jealousy he knew he shouldn’t feel.

Recently, the staff had gone as far as separating Hyunjin and Felix to avoid fueling online shipping rumors. Felix felt relieved by the space, though Hyunjin’s spirits dropped. Now, as they prepared for an awards show, Hyunjin looked striking in his tailored outfit, effortlessly commanding attention. Felix noticed, but his irritation overshadowed any admiration. The scorching heat was giving him a headache, and his mood was sour. Unfortunately, the seating arrangements placed him right beside Hyunjin, his name glaring from the card on the table next to him. This was bound to end badly.
