❝You say we are just friends,
And I pretend to play along,
This game of you and me right here,
It's been going on for so long❞

Being an idol is not easy; and the five boys knew that. Yeonjun knew that. Life wouldn't be the same again, they will have to make personal sacrifices to be a public figure, and they had been okay with that. They were okay because it was part of the dream. Because it was part of being who they are.

But perhaps the only time Yeonjun actually really hated that part of his life was when he met Soobin.

Shy, sweet yet caring Soobin. Calm, composed yet cool Soobin. Their perfect leader, who he knew even before he was chosen as the leader. The yin to his yang, the sun to his moon; the one who complimented Yeonjun so perfectly, who just fit him like a missing puzzle piece.

They were friends. They still are, but that's the word that is always said with an emphasis; the words that warned of anything less and anything more. The words that can either make you relieved or so so disappointed. And yet, that's what they always were. That's what they always will be.

And it was so easy to pretend that yes, that's it, that's all, there's nothing else in the game. To just smile and hide his feelings and play around to cover the trails left behind by his strong and intense feelings.

"Yah, Soobinie!" Yeonjun pouted at the younger boy, who just rolled his eyes at the older's antics but didn't pay attention to him otherwise. "Pay attention to me!"

"I am, hyung," Soobin answered, but the smile on his face was a dead giveaway of how much he was enjoying it too.

The practice room was empty save for the five boys; they had been given a small break in their practice and the staff had gone to get their lunch. While the other four were resting, Soobin had insisted on trying to perfect the dance move only he couldn't get and the others could.

But Yeonjun was tired and he could see that Soobin was too. He could see that Soobin just wanted to get this done with so that he won't have to worry about it later on. And that wouldn't do. Because Soobin was tired and then even if he tried, the move wouldn't look as it was supposed to.

"C'mere," Yeonjun made grabby hands at him to make him come to him instead of dancing. "Look, hyung promises to teach you the move if you come here and rest right now. I will personally see to it that you get it down to the t, okay?"

"Really?" Soobin paused in his movements to look at Yeonjun but the question wasn't really a question anyway. The mirth in Soobin's eyes just showed that he knew this was how it would end up. Yeonjun smiled and nodded.

He wanted it to end up like this too.

❝But do you know the truth of us?
The secrets beneath our smiles,
The hidden meanings behind our words,
And our lies that go on for miles❞
