Episode 7
Noah had never acted like this toward Sion before, which left him confused. He stood frozen as Noah’s gaze lingered on him.
Noah Gray (A)
Why were you in Zane’s room?
Sion Kim (B/RO)
I… I was just talking to him about the new album.
Noah didn’t say anything for a moment. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if analyzing Sion’s words. Then, suddenly, his expression softened, and he smiled.
Noah Gray (A)
Oh, alright. Make sure you get to bed early. We have to wake up early for the fansign event tomorrow.
Sion let out a silent breath of relief. Noah didn’t seem to suspect anything… for now.
Sion Kim (B/RO)
Got it, hyung. Goodnight.
Noah ruffled Sion’s hair in a rare display of affection before walking away. Sion quickly entered his room, shutting the door behind him. He leaned against the door, exhaling deeply.
Sion Kim (B/RO)
( That was close… )
The next morning, the smell of something sweet filled the dorm. In the kitchen, Riven stood by the stove, flipping pancakes with a bright smile.
Noah Gray (A)
[shouts] Wake up, everyone! Breakfast is ready! And get ready for the fansign event after eating!
One by one, the members emerged from their rooms, groggy but drawn in by the scent of food. Zane walked in last, running a hand through his hair as he observed the scene.
Sion Kim (B/RO)
You’re in a good mood, Riven.
Riven grinned, setting a plate of pancakes in front of Sion before leaning in slightly.
Riven Cole (A)
Of course! I have to take care of my pretty hyung.
Sion blinked, surprised by the sudden compliment. He chuckled awkwardly before taking a bite of his pancakes. Zane, who had just entered the kitchen, raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed.
Zane Park (DA)
Tch. That’s a lot of sugar early in the morning.
Riven Cole (A)
Unlike you, some of us like starting our day with something sweet.
Riven playfully stuck his tongue out before returning to the stove. Sion laughed, but Zane only scoffed, watching the younger member a little too closely.
After breakfast, the members got ready for the fansign event. Their outfits were perfectly styled, and the makeup artists made sure they looked flawless.
Sion stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his jacket when he noticed someone behind him. Turning slightly, he saw Zane standing close too close.
Zane Park (DA)
You look good.
Sion swallowed, his fingers gripping the fabric of his sleeve.
Sion Kim (B/RO)
Uh, thanks…?
Zane smirked, reaching out to fix Sion’s shirt, his fingertips grazing Sion’s skin slightly.
Zane Park (DA)
[ Whispers] Don’t get too flustered, baby. We’re supposed to be dating now, remember?
Sion rolled his eyes, trying to ignore the way his face felt warm. Before he could respond, Riven suddenly appeared between them, draping his arms around Sion’s shoulders.
Riven Cole (A)
Hyung! Let’s gooo! We’re gonna be late!
Zane’s smirk faded slightly as his eyes flicked to Riven’s arm around Sion. His jaw tightened, but he remained silent.
Sion, oblivious to the tension, simply nodded and followed Riven toward the door. As they left, Zane clenched his jaw, muttering under his breath.
Zane Park (DA)
( That little kid really always doesn’t know how to read the room… )
The members were now on their way to the fansign event...
