You ever wonder what it feels like to be in love with someone the whole worldâs watching?
Like⊠actually watching.
Not just âoh sheâs cuteâ kinda thing. But âmillions idolize her,â fancams doing numbers in two hours, TikToks being born out of her breathing too hard.
And you?
Youâre that guy.
The absolute menace who had the audacity â no, the psychological delusion â to date Kim Chaewon.
And yeah. You did that. And you still havenât come down from it.
Tonight, youâre backstage at the KSPO Dome in Seoul. The energy? Straight-up feral. It smells like sweat, glitter, hair spray, nerves, and that insane post-concert high that hits different when a stadium just erupts.
LE SSERAFIMâs CRAZY EASY HOT Tour in Seoul just wrapped, and that final fireworks moment? Bro. They deadass dropped South Koreaâs national defense budget on that stage.
Youâre laid out on a random backstage couch, watching the monitor. Black hoodie on, sunglasses on (yes, at night â youâre a celebrity and a drama king), grey baggy jogging, black Nike Shox shoes. The staffâs running around like ants and youâre invisible. Perfect.
Youâre staring at the screen when the girls start pouring out, half-dead, hair stuck to their foreheads, sweat everywhere, stage outfits hanging half open, but all of them smiling like maniacs.
Theyâre screaming, laughing, flinging towels at each other while yelling stuff like:
âYAH UNNIE I ALMOST DIED DURING ANTIFRAGILEâ
âZUHA YOUR MIC WAS OFF THE WHOLE CHOREO???â
âHONG EUNCHAE JUST DID AN UNSCHEDULED SPLIT WEâVE LOST HERâ
Itâs that post-show chaos. The good kind.
But you?
Youâre locked in. You got one mission.
You stand up and start scanning.
Looking for her eyes.
And then â she walks out.
Chaewon.
Not the idol. Not the leader, the it-girl, the 163cm menace whose fancams make the internet malfunction.
JustâŠÂ your girl.
The same girl who sent you a voice note crying at 3AM last night over a fancam of herself because she thought her voice sounded âtoo nasal.âÂ
The same girl who cried mascara into your shirt during the Unforgiven comeback.Â
The same one who stole three of your hoodies â one of which youâve literally never seen again.
She spots you.
And bro⊠itâs over.
She breaks into this big, toothy grin. Thereâs a millisecond where her brain goes âoh yeah, heâs really there,â and then sheâs gone â running, full sprint â straight into your arms.
You barely catch her. Her forehead hits your chest, arms locked around your waist like youâre a damn life raft. Cameras? What cameras. You stopped caring.
Your hand slides up instinctively to the back of her neck, right under her sweaty bob. Her heart is racing.
You two just stand there. In the middle of a hallway thatâs a whole traffic jam of staff and chaos.
You. And her.
One full minute. Maybe more.
And then she mumbles, all soft and raspy:
âYou saw me?â
You laugh, chin brushing her hair.
âBaby, the whole damn country saw you.â
She doesnât say anything, but you feel her smile against your chest â that tired lil smirk she gives when sheâs too drained to speak. Youâre absentmindedly running your hand up and down her back. Sheâs trembling slightly â not from cold. Just leftover adrenaline.
âThe fans went feral when we did the special dance break during Antifragile.â
She leans back just enough to look at you, cheeks pink.
âYou saw the body roll?â
You raise an eyebrow dramatically.
âSaw it? Babe I almost passed out.â
She giggles. You smile.
And god.
This girl.
She pushes a strand of hair off her forehead. You wanna kiss her right there. But you hold back. Barely.
âWhat you doing tonight?â she asks, voice a little fried from the show.
âIâm kidnapping Le Sserafimâs leader and taking her out to dinner. Somewhere far. Like no idols, no cameras kinda place.â
She laughs â a real one, eye-crinkly and everything.
âThen you better kidnap me fast, before Yunjin hits us with a two-hour âLetâs debrief girls there were so many pepowâ.â
You smirk, hand still on her back.
âIâm already outside. BMWâs on. Sexy kidnapper in position.â
She tilts her head all mock-impressed.
âHmm. Tempting.â
âR&B mix playing. Curated by yours truly â The Dark himself.â
She rolls her eyes playfully.
âYouâre really flexing your own playlist?â
âBaby. Iâm the main course. The playlistâs just the appetizer.â
She smacks your chest laughing.
âWell keep the main course hot, âcause Iâm hungry tonight.â
Then she slowly heads toward the dressing rooms, throwing one last look over her shoulder.
That tired, cheeky, in-love look.
And you dip out.
You head for the service exit. Itâs dark out. The airâs heavy with leftover fan screams still echoing in the night.
You open the door of your black BMW M4, slide into the driverâs seat, and hit play on your track â *Call Me Anytime*.
You start scrolling Twitter. Fancams already going viral. Edits, slow-mos, dramatic zooms. You scroll a little faster when you see backstage clips showing up.
Lowkey praying none of them caught your couch potato moment.
But honestly? If they did...
Let it be known:
Youâre not just a fan.
Youâre her man.

 9:17 PM.
Before dinner, you took a minute to freshen up. Back to ur place. Hot shower. Few sprays of your signature scent. Slid into a clean Corteiz denim fit â dark wash, tailored just right. Subtle chain, light styling, diamond ear piercings. You take one last look in the mirror. Tonight, you wanna be unforgettable. Problem-core.
Chaewon, on the other hand, was exhausted from the show but powered from going out with you. You sent her a text.
âWhen can i pick u up miss ?â
âGive me 30 min.â
She jumped in the shower, got her hair back in check, and threw on something lowkey but killer.
A blue oversize crop shirt, a grey Miu Miu skirt, heeled boots, a and white Prada bag. Minimal but hot.
In the dorm living room, the girls were posted up â Kazuha tapping on her iPad, Sakura knitting like a grandma in front of some show, Yunjin deep in TikTok, and Eunchae half-asleep on her shoulder.
Chaewon walks past them, bag in hand, sunglasses and cap ready.
Yunjin looks up.
âWhere you going looking like a secret agent on a mission with those sunglasses at night ?â
Chaewon slips on her cap over her freshly ironed bob, smirking.
âTop secret rendezvous.â
âOh so Y/Nâs a classified op now?â Sakura throws in, not even looking up.
âShhh,â Chaewon holds a finger to her lips. âWalls got ears.â
Kazuha lifts her head, curious.
âYâall going out? Like out -out?â
âHeâs waiting downstairs. Restaurant, I think.â
âLuxury vibe or tteokbokki-in-a-parking-lot core?â Yunjin asks, deadpan.
Chaewon throws her a helpless look.
Eunchae mumbles half-asleep:
âDid he give you his cologne? âCause unnie⊠the front door smells like âY/N was here and claimed this zone.ââ
The room explodes in laughter. Chaewon fake-pouts and sticks her tongue out.
âAlright Iâm leaving before this turns into a press conference.â
Yunjin raises her cup.
âTell him we said hi. And that he better come back with gyozas.â
Chaewon, halfway out the door, grins.
âNoted. If I forget, you guys can stage an intervention.â
âWord,â Yunjin replies, 100% serious. âIntervention and a fine.â
Chaewon slides on the sunglasses. Mid-level attempt at disguise â sheâs always been trash at low profile.
Youâre outside waiting, leaning on your car. The nightâs cool, calm. And finally, a silhouette shows up.
Her silhouette. Goddamn.
She walks up and plants a kiss on your cheek.
âLetâs go, driver. Iâm starving.â
She hops into the passenger seat. Sunglasses swallowing her whole face, wearing your cologne, your cap.
She shuts the door and looks at you sideways. You grin.
Sheâs still instantly recognizable. Even in incognito mode. Her aura just screams âIâm the main character,â even if she was wearing pajamas.
âYou reek of the stage,â you laugh, pulling out.
She takes off her shades and gives you that fake annoyed look, eyes sparkling.
âYou reek of ego.â
You fake-gasp. âTouchĂ©,â you mumble with a smirk.
âBut I kinda like it.â
You start driving.
She reaches out her hand. You grab it instinctively, your fingers locking like second nature. Her thumb brushes little circles on your skin.
Silence. Not awkward. Just⊠warm. Like a song you donât need to hear to feel.
You gently speed up. Headed to that spot you booked.
Not some hidden idol trap with Comic Sans âPRIVATEâ signs.
Nah. You booked the real deal.
Big energy. Big main character vibes. Just the two of you.

 9:54 PM
Hidden in a no-name building in Mapo-gu, the place looks so lowkey youâd think itâs a damn Yakuza safehouse. But once you pass the lobby and the facial recognition elevator (yes, itâs giving elite), you walk into a space that just screams old money energy but in a âquiet luxuryâ way.
The interiorâs minimalist, straight out of a Japanese RyĆtei dream. Light wood walls, warm lighting, tatami floors, and sliding panels that separate the private rooms. Soft ambiance. No windows. No cameras. Just pure, unbothered exclusivity.
You lead Chaewon to a private room at the end of the hall. The staff welcomes you with soft smiles, all dressed in sleek black modern kimonos. You both take your shoes off at the entrance. She walks in first.
And stops dead in her tracks.
âOkayyyyâŠâ
she breathes out, clearly impressed.
A shallow water basin cuts through the room, with a small wooden bridge leading to the table. Koi fish swim slowly underneath. Scented candles float gently on the surface. Itâs giving high-budget K-Drama, Netflix Ă AppleTV crossover episode.
You let her take it in.
âThis looks like a drama scene.â
You smile. âBabe, our whole life is a drama.â
âShut up.â She laughs, but itâs softâwhispery almost.
âYou booked the whole place?â
âJust the room. I ainât Jay-Z⊠yet.â
âYou could be.â She side-eyes you, lips pursed into that smirk that always comes right before she says some unserious shit.
You raise a brow.
âYou really see me with BeyoncĂ© on my arm and a yacht in the south of France?â
âWell⊠I am BeyoncĂ©. You donât need anyone else.â
You laugh like an idiot. Sheâs ridiculous. Youâre obsessed.
Dinner is a traditional Kaiseki tasting menu. Eleven dishes. Served one by one, in silence, every movement precise. Itâs elegant. Refined. And her? Sheâs unbothered as hell.
She eats like sheâs back in the dorm. Makes little âmmmhâ noises and claps after every bite. Closes her eyes when she chews. Makes you taste everything with her chopsticksâeven when you already have the same dish in front of you.
âMine has more wasabi, taste it,â she insists.
You bite. A second later, it shoots straight into your sinuses.
âHOLY SHIT.â You start coughing.
She cackles, hand over her mouth trying not to choke.
âYou got a baby throat. Rookie behavior.â
âI have a sensitive voice, thank you.â
âWant me to buy you a sippy cup next time?â She shrugs, fake concerned.
You narrow your eyes, smirking. âYou know youâre gonna pay for that, right?â
âPromise me,â she says, eyes glittering with chaos.
She steals food from your plate with zero remorse. Always picks the prettiest, priciest pieces (obviously). Gives you the plain ones back like youâre not gonna notice.
âYou steal from my plate like a stray cat.â
âI prefer feral cat, thanks.â
She sips some yuzu iced tea. She's wearing that ring you gave her years ago for your anniversary. Itâs hanging from a thin chain around her neck, hidden under her shirt. You spot it when she leans forward to grab a sashimi. You donât say anything, but your gaze lingers a second too long.
She notices.
âYou know the foodâs on your plate, right?â
âI was looking at the ring, you perv.â
âYou know I touch it every time we go on stage ?â
âYou mean like a good luck charm orâŠ?â
âNah. More like⊠a reminder that youâre always with me.â
You smile. Youâre done. So far gone. In love like a fool.
She sets her chopsticks down, stretches with her arms high over her head.
âIâm full. We should sleep for three days straight.â
âSounds like a dream. I drop you off, stay over, and we hibernate like two grizzly bears.â
She smiles and blinks slowly. You know that look. Sheâs drained.
âYou staying at the dorm tonight?â she asks gently, reaching across the table for your hand.
âIf your lil gremlin members donât jump meâŠâ
You stop mid-sentence, sighing.
âBut I probably should say no, on principle.â
âBut youâre gonna say yes, right baby?â
You smile. Yeah. You always do.
âWeâll see when we get there. Iâll drop you off first.â
---
 12:34 AM.
You two step out of the restaurant.
The nightâs quiet but cold. The street is dead silent, just the sound of your footsteps. The cityâs asleep. The streetlights cast long shadows on the sidewalk.
Her armâs looped around yours, her fingers tracing invisible letters on your skin. Her headâs on your shoulder.
You feel her smile against you. That quiet, peaceful kind of smile. Like, inner peace but make it Kim Chaewon*.
Your other handâs in your jacket pocket, keys lightly clinking. Your mindâs already jumping ahead. Maybe a drive. Maybe another laugh. Maybe just crashing at the dorm.
But thenâ
 Flash.
You squint. Eyes narrow.
A white light slices your vision. You turn your head. Nothing â at first.
Then you take another step.
 Flash. Flash. FLASH.
âFucking hellââ
You yank her into you instinctively. She gasps, nails clutching your sleeve.
Shapes. In the distance. Three, maybe four. Flashes popping nonstop. That sharp *click* of a professional camera.
You glance further. Ten meters out, left side. A black car, parked all messy. Half in shadow.
A guy crouched behind it. Camera up. Black jacket, jeans. Then you see it.
A badge.
 Dispatch.
Your stomach legit drops. Like swallowing ice water.
Chaewon freezes.
Her fingers dig into you harder. Like sheâs scared theyâll pull her away from you.
She lifts her eyes slowly. You see the panic right away. Her lips are trembling.
âChae, look at me,â you say softly, leaning down to meet her gaze. âBreathe. Weâre gonna act normal, okay? If we freak out and run, it only makes it worse when the PR team has to do damage control.â
She blinks. Once. Twice. Flashes still going like gunshots in the quiet.
âIâŠâ She shakes her head, barely hearing you. âFuck. Y/N⊠they got us, didnât they?â
You glance back at the guy behind the car. Heâs still aiming. Click. Click. Click.
You shut your eyes for half a second. You wanna scream, but you stay calm. For her.
You nod. âYeah. They got us.â
Chaewon breathes in, but itâs shaky.
âCome on,â you say.
You grab her hand gently, pick up the pace. No more strolling. Your armâs around her like a damn shield. You've never wanted to destroy a camera more in your life.
Your BMW M4 is up the block, under a streetlight. You press the key. *Beep.* Lights flash.
âFucking knew itâŠâ you mutter. âHow the hell did they know we were here? I heard something earlier⊠thought I was being paranoid.â
âWhy nowâŠ?â she whispers. âWe were so careful.â
âBecause this is their entire existence. And tonight? Jackpot.â
You open the passenger door for her. She climbs in silently, head down. You shut the door, sprint to the driverâs side. Start the engine. Pull out with one sharp move.
You drive. Fast. Silence thick.
Chaewon stares out the window. Quiet. Overthinking.
You glance over. âHey⊠look at me.â
She turns.
âWeâre gonna get through this. Together. Like always, okay? Weâll find a way.â
She nods. Doesnât say a word. But she squeezes your hand on the gear stickâtight. Almost painful.
You lift your joined hands and kiss hers. âYouâre not facing this alone.â
And in your head, one word:
  Fuck.
As the dorm gets closer, you speak up.
âYo babeâŠâ
âHmm?â She looks at you.
âIâm not coming up tonight.â
She raises her brow slightly. âYou donât want to?â
âI do. Like way too much.â You laugh, hands up like surrender. âBut we just got exposed once. Iâd rather not hand Dispatch another photo set on a silver platter.â
She stares, nods slowly. Quiet. Then sighs.
âOkay. I get it. Youâre right.â
You rest your hand on her cheek, thumb brushing her skin gently.
âI swear, once this blows over, Iâll make it up to you.â
âYou better,â she says, smiling faintlyâbut yeah. You can tell. Sheâs a little hurt. She leans in, kisses your cheek soft.
The ride back is chill. Summer Walker plays low in the background. Her fingers keep brushing over your hand on the gearshift.
When you reach the dorm, she thanks you softly.
âThanks for tonight, babe.â
âYou donât gotta thank me, baby. It was amazing. And after everything you did for the concert, you deserved a lil peace. Iâm just lucky I got solo time with the Kim Chaewon herself.â
âShut up,â she laughs sleepily. âBut really⊠I missed this. Just us.â
Before getting out, she leans in, kisses you again. Longer this time. Then she opens the door, steps out, turns back. You lower the window.
âIâll text you once Iâm inside,â she says.
âBtw Donât overthink the Dispatch thing. Get some sleep.â You grin. âAnd watch out for Zuha opening the door in a towel again.â
âI briefed her, donât worry,â she smiles before disappearing into the building. âGood night, baby.âÂ
You blow her a kiss and watch her vanish inside, then drive off into the dark. Brain foggy. Heart tense from earlier.
---
 7:49 AM. The next day.
 Twitter is in flames.
Youâre still in bed. Shirtless. Sheets tangled around your waist. Phone in hand. Half-awake, fully wrecked.
Your watch on the nightstand reads 07:49. Your phone screen?
Absolute chaos.
 DISPATCH DROPS BOMBSHELL :Â
>Â âKIM CHAEWON SPOTTED ON A DATE WITH INTERNATIONAL SINGER THE DARK.â
 (Spoiler alert: ur cooked, bestie.)
You click.
Boom.
The pics.
Right when you two left the restaurant. Streetlight lighting up your faces just enough.
You: 6â1â, the raw denim Corteiz fit, oversized jacket half-open over a fitted black tee. Curls on your forehead, diamonds in your ears, subtle chain catching light.
Her: The blue oversize crop shirt, a grey Miu Miu skirt, heeled boots making her legs look ten miles long, sleek hair, Prada bag in hand. Clinging to your arm like a walking fanfic.
You wanna laugh. And throw up.
Under the tweet, the replies are UNHINGED :
 @pupufan: "this manâs literally R&B poison stay away from her omg"
@fearbitch94: âshe deserves someone normal not a walking toxic boy with emotional damageâ
 @y/nslutcentral: "THE DARK dates idols?? What a multiverse, my roman empire."
@nugudetective: âhe looked at her like she healed his depressionâ
 @darklingzforever: âdonât care. heâs HIM. if chaewonâs happy, we happy.â
@chaeslilangel: "if they hurt her iâm becoming a full-time anti. no one touches my girl."
@thedarkfanacc: âheâs a menace, a heartbreaker, a walking sin. she ate.â
@darkxchaewon: âcan they just confirm it so i can make edits in peace??â
You open Messages.
  Groupchat with Le Sserafim: â6 eaters in da hoodâ
Yunjin: âBABE WAKE UP WE GOT DISPATCHEDâ
Sakura: âwho tf took that pic i want their camera and their locationâ
Kazuha: âu guys were cute tho nglâ
Eunchae: âam i allowed to like the tweetâ
You: âYall mind if i kms real quickâ
Chaewon: *âif u go i goâ*
Yunjin: âSTOP ROMANTICIZING SUICIDE U LUNATICSâ
Sakura: âcan we at least go viral together?â
You: âbruh iâm 2 seconds away from calling hybe and saying i got abducted by a lookalikeâ
Kazuha: ânah the chain gave you awayâ
Chaewon: âand the heightâ
Eunchae: âand the auraâ
Sakura: âand the main character syndromeâ
Yunjin: âAND THE WAY SHEâS CLINGING TO UR ARM LIKE A TINY WIFEâ
You: âok i get it u bulliesâ
You drop your phone on your chest. Stare at the ceiling. One part of you is spiraling.
Another part is weirdly⊠relieved. Like it was meant to happen eventually.
Your phone buzzes.
A text from Chae đ
Chae đ: âIâm sorry⊠I shouldâve let go of your armâŠâ
You: âStop. I loved that you didnât. And even if you had, weâd still be caught by those roaches.â
Chae đ: âSo what now?â
You: âWe breathe. Let HYBE cook. And until then⊠we donât flinch.â
You tap your chest twice like youâre hyping yourself up. Close your eyes.
Throat tight.
But yeah⊠youâre smiling.
---
 9AM.
You were still dead in your bed when your phone started buzzing on your nightstand.
Not a cute âfan DMâ buzz. Not a dumbass meme from Yunjin.
This one was different. Serious. Heavy. A call.
From HYBE staff.
You squint, barely functional, eyes burning from the lack of sleep. The screenâs blinding but you answer without even thinking.
âY/N-ssi, this is Hyung from the creative team. You need to come to the company. Be here by 9:45. Urgent.â
His voice? Dry as hell. The kind that erases all your plans â even the fake ones in your head.
Bro didnât even say good morning.
âIs something wrong?â you ask, knowing damn well the answer.
âWeâll explain in person. Itâs⊠about a photo. You probably already know what Iâm talking about.â
You exhale.
âIâm coming,â you mutter, your voice still half-asleep, but your heart? Already running a full damn marathon.
You jump out of bed and hit the shower â quick but surgical. The cold water shocks your brain awake. You canât afford a single L today. Not when sheâs involved.
You pass the mirror, shirtless, hair dripping, water sliding down your neck tattoo. You pause. Staring.
Trying to see if you look guilty.
Half-smirk.
âDamn, Iâm too hot to be in a scandal.â
But timeâs ticking. You throw on grey jogging, fresh white Air Force 1s, a clean white tee, and a matching grey puffer â just zipped low enough to show your gold chain.
Gotta look lowkey but still flex, just a little.
Cartier Santos on your wrist â Chaewonâs birthday gift from last year. Subtle. Personal.
You adjust your ring, hit one spray of your signature scent, and dip.
---
  9:30AM.
You slide into your BMW M4. Engine roars like it knows thereâs drama coming.
Phone on the dash.
Playlist running:
  Brent Faiyaz â âDead Man Walking.â
The irony is almost funny.
You drive on autopilot. Zoned tf out. Meanwhile, people on the street walking around like youâre not currently Trending Topic #1 in South Korea.
Your phone lights up.
 Text from Chae đ:
âThey called me too. Iâm already here.â
âIâm gonna pass out I swear.â
You donât answer. Youâre gripping the wheel too tight.
Not because youâre scared for you.
Youâre scared for her.
---
 9:47AM.
HYBE meeting room. Ice-cold AC.
Three managers. One PR dude. Some stylist who probably walked into the wrong room.
And you.
And Chaewon.
âWeâre handling the narrative. Deny everything. Say itâs a lookalike,â one of the managers says, arms crossed like he just cured lying.
You raise an eyebrow.
âA lookalike? With my exact neck tattoo, wearing my literal gold chain? Plus it doesnât erase the fact that Chaewon was seen with a man, linked to his arm.â
âWE. DENY. EVERYTHING.â
You let out a low laugh. Stylists click pens. The public relations guy avoids eye contact.
Chaewonâs sitting beside you.
She looks different than last night. A black Hoodie way too big â probably yours, the one uâve been searching for weeks. Light blue Baggy jeans. No makeup. Just her eyes â and that clenched jaw like sheâs holding in a scream.
You feel her leg shaking under the table.
You reach over, lowkey, and rest your hand on her thigh. Thumb tracing slow circles.
âIâm sorry,â she whispers, not even looking at you.
âFor what?â you ask.
âFor dragging you into this.â
You turn to her.
âBabeâŠâ
You look at her. For real.
âI dragged myself into this. And Iâd do it again tomorrow. Iâm the one who should be sorry.â
She finally turns her head. Her eyes are glassy. Not crying yet â but close.
You keep looking at her like youâre trying to physically absorb her pain.
The room goes still.
Even the stylist stops fiddling with his ring.
PR guy clears his throat.
âWe⊠could also go a different route,â he says, glancing between the two of you.
You sit up. âLike what?â
âWell⊠you two already knew each other.  What if we say itâs for a creative project? Music collab. Concept shoot. Something artsy.â
You tilt your head. Lips tight.
âA creative project⊠that could work. Would explain us walking together. Staff being aware. Me showing up to the show.â
âExactly,â a manager nods. âYou kept it quiet to protect the project.â
Chaewon nods slowly.
âI could say Iâve been wanting to work with him for a long time⊠that Iâm a fan of his work.â
You smirk, cocky.
âOh? Youâre a fan now? Since when, exactly?â
âShut up,â she mumbles â but sheâs smiling. Just a little.
Another manager sighs, rubbing his temples.
âWeâll prep the statement. Tease the project. Drop a blurry video. Studio pics. Sell the fantasy.â
You raise your phone.
âIâve got videos from the studio. Us working on an unreleased track.â
Every head turns to you.
âYouâre actually making a song together?â
âNot officially,â you shrug. âBut if yâall need it to be officialâŠâ
PR dude is already scribbling notes like itâs Grammy night.
âPerfect. We fake a collab. Sell the creative tension. Win-win for everyone.â
Chaewon exhales. A little lighter. You feel her leg finally go still under the table.
Yeah, this is messy. But at least youâre in it together.
And the solution ?
Itâs still you two.
