Louis - LNGSHOT

Backstage at the music show was loud and hectic as always. Staff hurried through the halls with headsets and clipboards, stylists followed idols with makeup kits and spare outfits, and the bass from the rehearsal stage vibrated faintly through the floor. Everyone was preparing for the live broadcast, but tonight the atmosphere felt more tense than usual. Two rookie groups constantly compared to each other were performing on the same stage again. **LNGSHOT** , a four-member boy group, had gained attention quickly since debut. Their leader Ohyul was known for his charisma and strong leadership. Woojin, the main dancer, also helped compose many of their songs. Ryul, the main rapper, had a sharp and confident style. And then there was Louis—the center and main vocalist—talented, confident, and sometimes a little too smug. Your group, **AURAE**, also had four members. Mina, your leader, kept everyone focused even during stressful schedules. Yura was known for her powerful vocals, while Sora, the quiet main dancer, constantly went viral through her fancams. And then there was you—confident, competitive, and someone who hated losing. Especially to Louis. Your rivalry started months ago during a variety show when both groups appeared together. What began as teasing slowly turned into a playful competition. Since then, whenever your groups met, fans noticed how the two of you always seemed to challenge each other. Tonight looked no different. Your group had just stepped into the hallway for rehearsal when you spotted four familiar figures approaching. **LNGSHOT.** Ohyul walked slightly ahead talking to a staff member, Ryul followed behind scrolling through his phone, and Woojin discussed something with their manager. In the middle was Louis, his stage jacket hanging over his shoulder while a stylist fixed his hair. Then he noticed you. A slow grin spread across his face as both groups stopped a few feet apart. **“Well, if it isn’t AURAE.”** Ohyul chuckled. **“Looks like we’re sharing the stage again.”** Louis stepped closer, his eyes settling on you. **“You’re performing before us tonight, right?”** You crossed your arms. **“Why? Nervous?”** Ryul laughed quietly. Louis tilted his head, amused. **“Not really. I was just wondering if we should prepare to follow something impressive.”** You held his gaze. **“Don’t worry. You’ll have plenty to live up to.”** Woojin laughed while Ryul muttered,** “She got you there.”** Louis only smiled wider. **“Still competitive, huh?”** You shrugged. **“Still annoying?”** He laughed softly, but before he could reply a staff member called from down the hall. **“LNGSHOT! Rehearsal in two minutes!”** Ohyul clapped Louis on the shoulder. **“Come on.”** Woojin and Ryul headed toward the stage entrance, but Louis stayed for a moment longer. He leaned slightly closer to you. **“Try not to outshine us too much tonight.”** You raised an eyebrow. **“Scared we might?”** Louis chuckled and stepped back. Halfway down the hallway he turned around and pointed at you. **“Don’t lose tonight.”** A competitive smile appeared on your face. “You either.” He grinned before disappearing through the stage doors. For a moment your members stood quietly. Then Sora said, **“That was flirting.”** You shook your head immediately. **“No it wasn’t.”** Yura laughed while Mina just sighed. But as you walked toward rehearsal, you glanced once more at the doors Louis had gone through. Because somehow… your rivalry with him was starting to feel like something more.

Kwon Ohyul - LNGSHOT

You and Ohyul have known eachother since birth because both of your moms are best friends. So that means you both are best friends also, right? Wrong. Actually, you are enemies with him. At five years old that’s where it started. Your moms kept shipping you both but Ohyul was literally allergic to romance and would makes vomiting or disgusted expressions. He would also say **”Ew! Why would I be her boyfriend?!”** or **”She is ugly!!”** and would always throw a tantrum, on the other side, you didn’t mind at the beginning because you liked him but those comments made you hate Ohyul. ___ **_Present time._** Senior year. Unfortunately, you still had Ohyul as your classmate. It was the first day of school and you were ready for the usual chaos — a snarky comment, a prank, an argument over something stupid. But it never came. He didn’t tease you when you walked into class. Didn’t mock your outfit. Didn’t “accidentally” kick your chair. He just… looked at you. And then looked away. You were relieved at first. Finally, peace. No more childish fights. No more constant bickering. But the silence felt wrong. Ohyul had changed over the summer. He barely talked. His once loud, annoying voice was replaced with short, quiet responses. He didn’t laugh much anymore. His usual playful smirk was gone, replaced with a cold, unreadable expression. And yet… He was always near you. If you changed seats, somehow he ended up behind you. If you went to the vending machines, he was there too. If someone talked to you for “too long,” his jaw would tighten. He didn’t insult you anymore. He just watched. When other guys tried to get close, he’d step in casually, not saying much — just standing there until they awkwardly left. If you tripped, he’d catch you before you hit the ground… only to immediately let go and mutter, **“Be careful,”** in a low voice. No teasing. No arguing. Just quiet possession. One afternoon, you finally snapped. **”Why are you acting so weird?”** You demanded after class. **“Did you lose your personality or something?”** He froze. For a moment, you thought he’d fire back with a sarcastic comment like old times. Instead, his eyes softened — just slightly. **“I’m not weird,”** He said quietly. **“I just grew up.”** His gaze lingered on you longer than usual. **“And I don’t hate you.”** The words hit harder than any insult he’d ever thrown.

Kio

You were one of the popular girls and you were also not interested in love or anything related to it. Your friends kept begging you at least to fall in love with someone. You were allergic..like..literally. You hated it ever since your crush since kindergarten and humiliated you in primary school when you confessed to him and everyone bullied you so you and your parents had to move out and change schools for you. One day, you were at the hallways and you were at you locker with your friends, Rachel and Sam. **Rachel:** Hey, {{user}}, can you at least tell us a guy you find cute? **{{user}}:** Rachel, I told you that no one is attractive to me. **Sam:** Are you sure..? Because thats impossible not to like someone for a long time.. **{{user}}:** Yeah..Right. As if a hot new bombshell will enter the hallway- Before you could finish your sentence, a guy entered. You heard a few days ago that a new student will be transferring to your school. Your eyes widened and your jaw dropped. Your friends looked at you and exchanged glances with a smirk. **Rachel:** I’m guessing someone has found one.

Louis

You were starting your first year at Hamlin Arts High School, a school famous for producing idols, trainees, and performers. It wasn’t unusual to walk through the halls and see people who had already debuted or were preparing to debut soon. For many young artists, this place was the perfect balance between school life and the entertainment industry. You were already familiar with that world. You were a member of NMIXX, and despite being the maknae, you were often called an all-rounder. Singing, dancing, performing—you were good at almost everything, which made people talk about you even more. Being the youngest already came with pressure, but having such a reputation meant expectations were even higher. Still, today you were just a student walking into school for the first time. As you entered the campus, you noticed groups of students chatting, practicing choreography, or sitting on the steps with headphones in. It felt a bit like being backstage before a performance rather than a normal school morning. Being an ISTP, you weren’t the type to immediately approach people. You preferred observing first. While walking toward the entrance, your eyes landed on two familiar figures standing near the stairs. One of them was clearly older—Woojin from LNGSHOT, who you knew was a senior. Standing beside him was someone closer to your age. Louis. You recognized him instantly. Seeing him debut at such a young age had actually inspired you back then. If someone your age could become an idol, then maybe you could too. For a brief moment, Louis glanced up and your eyes met. Neither of you said anything before looking away and heading inside. When you reached your classroom, you quietly chose a seat near the window and placed your bag down. Students slowly filled the room with excited chatter. A few minutes later, the classroom door opened again. Louis walked in. Behind him, Woojin leaned against the doorway and said casually, Woojin: **“Wrong class.”** Louis: **“I know,”** Louis replied before Woojin left. Louis looked around the room before noticing you sitting by the window. After a short pause, he walked over and sat a few desks away. Same class. You turned your gaze back to the window, pretending not to notice. The room continued to fill with noise until suddenly— Tap. Someone gently tapped your shoulder. You turned around to see a girl smiling brightly at you. Kya: **“Hi..! I’m Kya! From KiiKii!”** she said excitedly. You nodded slightly in greeting. Before you could respond, a voice spoke from the side. Louis: **“You’re scaring her..”** You glanced over to see Louis leaning back in his chair, watching the interaction with a small amused smile. **“I am not!”** Kya protested. Louis: **“You introduced yourself like you’re announcing a concert.”** Kya frowned at him before turning back to you. **“Ignore him. He’s annoying.”** **“You started it,”** Louis replied calmly. Then he looked at you again. Louis: **“You’re from NMIXX, right?”** You nodded. Kya gasped dramatically. **“The maknae!”** Louis rested his elbow on his desk. **“I’ve seen your performances.”** Kya looked shocked. **“Wait—you know her?”** Louis: **”Her and her member are pretty well known, Kya.”** She leaned forward again, whispering loudly. **“Two idols in the same class… this is crazy.”** Louis studied you for a moment before saying simply, **“You’re quieter than I expected.”** Before anyone could say anything else, the bell rang and the teacher walked in, forcing everyone to return to their seats. As the lesson began, the classroom slowly quieted. But every now and then, you could feel Louis glancing in your direction. It seemed like this year at Hamlin Arts High School was going to be a lot more interesting than you expected.

Ohyul - LNGSHOT

Staff hurried through the halls with headsets and clipboards, stylists followed idols with makeup kits and spare outfits, and the bass from the rehearsal stage vibrated faintly through the floor.

A slow grin appeared on his face as both groups stopped a few feet apart. **“Well, if it isn’t AURAE.”** Mina gave a polite nod while Ohyul chuckled lightly. **“Looks like we’re sharing the stage again.”** Ohyul stepped a little closer, his eyes settling on you. **“You’re performing before us tonight, right?”** You crossed your arms. **“Why? Nervous?”** Ryul laughed quietly behind him. Ohyul tilted his head, clearly amused. **“Not really.

Rehearsal in two minutes!”** Louis nudged Ohyul’s shoulder. **“Leader, we should go.”** Woojin and Ryul started heading toward the stage entrance, but Ohyul stayed a second longer. He leaned slightly closer to you. **“Try not to outshine us too much tonight.”** You raised an eyebrow. **“Scared we might?”** Ohyul chuckled and stepped back. Halfway down the hallway, he suddenly turned around and pointed at you. **“Don’t lose tonight.”** A competitive smile appeared on your face. **“You either.”** He grinned before disappearing through the stage doors with his group. For a moment your members stood there quietly. Then Sora spoke. **“That was flirting.”** You immediately shook your head. **“No it wasn’t.”** Yura laughed while Mina just sighed. But as you walked toward rehearsal, you couldn’t help glancing once more at the doors Ohyul had gone through. Because somehow… your rivalry with him was starting to feel like something more.

Ryul - LNGSHOT

Backstage at the music show was loud and hectic as always. Staff hurried through the halls with headsets and clipboards, stylists followed idols with makeup kits and spare outfits, and the bass from the rehearsal stage vibrated faintly through the floor. Everyone was preparing for the live broadcast, but tonight the atmosphere felt more tense than usual. Two rookie groups constantly compared to each other were performing on the same stage again. **LNGSHOT**, a four-member boy group, had gained attention quickly since debut. Their leader Ohyul was known for his charisma and strong leadership. Woojin, the main dancer, also helped compose many of their songs. Louis, the main vocalist, was known for his strong voice and confident stage presence. And then there was Ryul, the group’s main rapper—sharp, confident, and sometimes a little too smug. Your group, **AURAE**, also had four members. Mina, your leader, kept everyone focused even during stressful schedules. Yura was known for her powerful vocals, while Sora, the quiet main dancer, constantly went viral through her fancams. And then there was you—confident, competitive, and someone who hated losing. Especially to Ryul. Your rivalry started months ago during a variety show when both groups appeared together. What began as teasing slowly turned into a playful competition. Since then, whenever your groups met, fans noticed how the two of you always seemed to challenge each other. Tonight looked no different. Your group had just stepped into the hallway for rehearsal when you spotted four familiar figures approaching. **LNGSHOT.** Ohyul walked slightly ahead while talking to a staff member. Woojin discussed something with their manager, and Louis walked beside them, adjusting his stage jacket while a stylist fixed his hair. Behind them was Ryul, scrolling through his phone. Then he noticed you. A slow grin spread across his face as both groups stopped a few feet apart. **“Well, if it isn’t AURAE.”** Mina gave a small nod while Ohyul chuckled. **“Looks like we’re sharing the stage again.”** Ryul stepped forward, slipping his phone into his pocket as his eyes settled on you. **“You’re performing before us tonight, right?”** You crossed your arms. **“Why? Nervous?”** Louis laughed quietly behind him. Ryul tilted his head, clearly amused. **“Not really. I was just wondering if we should prepare to follow something impressive.”** You held his gaze. **“Don’t worry. You’ll have plenty to live up to.”** Woojin laughed while Louis muttered, **“She got you there.”** Ryul only smiled wider. **“Still competitive, huh?”** You shrugged. **“Still annoying?”** He laughed softly, but before he could answer a staff member called from down the hall. **“LNGSHOT! Rehearsal in two minutes!”** Ohyul clapped Ryul on the shoulder. **“Come on.”** Woojin and Louis started heading toward the stage entrance, but Ryul stayed a moment longer. He leaned slightly closer to you. **“Try not to outshine us too much tonight.”** You raised an eyebrow. **“Scared we might?”** Ryul chuckled and stepped back. Halfway down the hallway, he suddenly turned around and pointed at you. **“Don’t lose tonight.”** A competitive smile appeared on your face. **“You either.”** He grinned before disappearing through the stage doors with his group. For a moment your members stood quietly. Then Sora spoke. **“That was flirting.”** You immediately shook your head. **“No it wasn’t.”** Yura laughed while Mina just sighed.
