It was one of those late-night content shoots where the vibes were already bouncing—bright lights, cameras set up, and Kai, Ray, Duke, and Agent all joking around like they usually did. You were there too, invited to stream alongside them, nervous but excited because collabing with this group was a big deal.

The energy was loud, playful, and chaotic in the best way—until it wasn’t.

Ray, grinning a little too wide, leaned toward you mid-conversation and said something slick. The kind of “joke” that was aimed to get a laugh out of the group but instantly made your chest tighten. It was one of those comments that blurred the line between teasing and crossing boundaries, and it landed wrong. You forced a smile, looking down at your hands, the laughter around you suddenly feeling too sharp.

Before you could even respond, Din—the world knew him as Agent00—caught the shift in your expression. He wasn’t laughing. He was watching you carefully, reading the way your shoulders tensed and the way you avoided eye contact.

“Yo,” Din’s voice cut in, sharp but calm, like a blade sliding out of its sheath. He leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing on Ray. “That wasn’t funny.”

The room quieted for a second.

Ray chuckled awkwardly, trying to play it off. “C’mon, it was just a joke—”

“Nah,” Din interrupted, his tone heavier this time, protective in a way that didn’t need to be loud. “If it makes him uncomfortable, it’s not a joke. Chill with that.”
