third person pov.
after a week of resting and weeks of intense preparation for their new album, the day finally arrived — enhypen's latest album was out on spotify, and the internet was buzzing.
the comeback was highly anticipated, and enhypen had only grown more famous, reaching even more fans worldwide. with each release, they raised the bar, and this time was no different.
back at the dorm, harin and the girls had gathered in their shared living room. haneul pulled up the album on her phone, plugging it into a speaker, her excitement barely contained.
"oh my god, it's out!" she squealed.
jiyeon added, "i've been waiting for this all day. let's listen to it from the top!"
as the first few songs played, harin sat quietly, her heart pounding in her chest. the excitement of the album release was not just because she was dating an idol — no, this was personal.
her eyes drifted to the playlist, the titles of each track scrolling by until she saw the one.
jake’s song.
the one he wrote for her.
the track started to play, and as the soft melody filled the room, harin's breath hitched. her hands rested on her lap, fingers trembling slightly. this was jake’s song — her song — and now the whole world was listening to it.
he had put it out there for millions of people to hear, and with every note, with every lyric, his love for her was now out in the open.
"hmmm... this one’s so good," haneul said, nodding to the beat. but then her eyes narrowed playfully at harin.
"wait a minute, this song sounds like it's for someone."
harin felt her cheeks heat up, her lips curving into a small smile. her cheeks flushed as she avoided their gazes.
the girls exchanged teasing glances, and jiah nudged her.
jiyeon laughed softly. "i’d die if someone wrote a song about me. seriously, that’s like a dream come true."
harin could only smile. her mind was racing, heart fluttering in a mix of happiness and nervousness.
her fingers fiddled with the hem of her shirt as she listened to jake’s voice pouring through the speakers, telling the world how much he loved her. it was beautiful, yes, but it was also terrifying.
the privacy she had clung to so tightly was slowly slipping away, and now, jake had opened a door that couldn’t be closed. the whole world now knew there was someone in his life, someone he cared deeply about.
her heart swelled, but the anxiety was there too — the uncertainty of how fans would react, the questions they’d have to face, and how their relationship would shift in the public eye.
i'm so happy, but at the same time... it’s a lot. knowing everyone’s going to hear this, harin thought to herself, biting her lip.
i love him, but what will they think? will they be happy for him? for us?
meanwhile, on enhypen's side, the album release had sent waves across the internet. the moment the tracklist hit spotify, twitter blew up, the reactions pouring in from every corner of the globe.
fans were ecstatic, sharing their favorite moments, analyzing lyrics, and celebrating the new music.
but amidst all the excitement, there was a specific thread of conversation that began to dominate — jake's song.
