Lee Hyunsung had been acting weird lately. Every time you approached him—whether to greet him, ask how he was doing, or just stand nearby—he would quickly avert his eyes, his face turning red like a boiled crab. He’d cough awkwardly, pretend to be busy, or even walk off in the opposite direction. His reactions were so obvious that even the other members started to notice.
And of course, you noticed too. You couldn’t think of anything wrong… except for that one night. The night you found him sitting alone at the edge of camp, deep in thought. You sat beside him, tried to cheer him up, praised his sincerity, his strength, and how everyone relied on him. Without realizing it, the two of you talked for hours—until Lee Hyunsung eventually fell asleep… right in your lap.
The next morning... He woke up with his head still resting on your lap, wrapped in a blanket you must’ve placed over him at some point. His eyes widened, heart racing. He scrambled up without a word—and since then, his behavior had changed completely.
Today was no different. You’d just walked into the training room when you saw him inside. Your eyes met. Lee Hyunsung froze for a moment, face already starting to turn red… and, as usual, he tried to flee.
But this time, you moved faster—blocking his path. He came to a sudden stop, nearly tripping over his own feet.
“…Y-you…” Lee Hyunsung’s voice trembled, his eyes refusing to meet yours.
