Meet Jeong and Won, two talented idols who have always shared a special bond on and off stage. Little do their fans know, their friendship has blossomed into something more.
As they spend more time together, their feelings deepen, and they find them...
The festive lights twinkled outside the hotel windows, starkly contrasting the frantic energy inside. EN-, was smack dab in the middle of their another world tour. While the world celebrated with family and feasts, EN- was a whirlwind of rehearsals, soundchecks, and jet lag.
The group decided on a two-pronged attack to keep the fans from getting FOMO (fear of missing out). Group live streams became a nightly ritual, a chaotic mix of games, song covers (sung with varying degrees of accuracy), and heartwarming messages for their global fanbase.

But the real treat came from the individual live streams. Unannounced, any member could go live, talking about anything.
One quiet evening, Jeong, decided to surprise the fans with a late-night live. He fumbled with his phone, setting up the camera in his hotel room. He planned to chat, jam a few songs, and call it a night. Little did he know, Won, exhausted from a particularly long day, had fallen asleep with Jeong's live notification still active.

He answered fan questions about his favorite holiday memories (snow angels as a child) and his least favorite (fruitcake). Then, the unexpected happened. Won stirred awake, mumbled something unintelligible, and sleepily yelled, "Love, let's eat!"
Jeong's eyes widened. He hadn't even hinted at being in a relationship. His cheeks burned crimson. With lightning speed, before the chat could explode, his finger slammed the end button, his live stream abruptly cutting out.
The silence was deafening. Then, chaos erupted. Fans spammed "JEONGWON?!" and "DID WON JUST CONFIRM?!" across every social media platform. The hashtag #JeongWonIsReal trended worldwide. News outlets buzzed with speculation.
When they had another live stream, Jeong, visibly flustered, explained what happened and apologized for ending the live unannounced. Won, sporting a sheepish grin, explained his sleepy slip-up. Despite the clarification, the damage was done. The internet wouldn't let it go. Fan art depicting JeongWon Christmas dinners flooded the web. Edits of Won sleep-talking romantic confessions became viral.
EN- learned a valuable lesson: the internet never sleeps, especially during the holiday season. And while they might not have gotten the restful break they craved, they did get an unforgettable memory – and a permanent tease from their forever-shipping fans.
