Epilogue Part 2: Friendly Fire
The Omega X dorm was unusually lively that evening. The members sprawled across the living room, some scrolling through their phones, others engaged in a lively conversation. Seungwoo was flipping through channels absentmindedly when Jungho's voice broke through.
"Hey, isn't that our Hangyeom on Instagram Live with... 'Ju Ha-hyung'?" Jungho's lips curled into a smirk as he gave Hangyeom a sly glance.
Hangyeom looked up from his phone, already sensing the impending wave of teasing. "Oh, come on, it was just fan service!" he protested, but his cheeks betrayed him, growing pinker by the second.
Xen, ever the playful instigator, scooted closer, nudging Hangyeom with a grin. "Fan service? So that's what you call it now? You were practically clinging to him, Do Yoon-ah."
Hangyeom rolled his eyes, trying to keep his cool. "You guys are reading too much into it! It's just part of the Jazz for Two hype."
"So, calling him 'hyung' was just acting, then?" Yechan teased, leaning in with a mischievous smile. "You looked pretty cozy for it to be just acting."
Jungho, the composed leader, chimed in with a chuckle. "It was nice to see you 'bonding' with your 'hyung,' but you didn't mention us once. Are we being replaced?"
Hangyeom held up his hands in defense. "I didn't mention you guys because I knew you'd make it weird! Besides, Jungha-hyung and I wanted to focus on the fans and the characters."
Seungwoo, who'd been watching silently, couldn't resist joining in. "Admit it, Hangyeom. You had fun acting all close with him."
Hangyeom glanced around at his grinning bandmates, realizing he was completely outnumbered. "Fine, I admit it. Jungha-hyung and I are close. We get along well on and off-screen. Happy?"
"Very," Hwichan grinned, clapping Hangyeom on the back. "Just make sure you let us know before your next 'fan service' live so we can bring popcorn."
Hangyeom sighed, shaking his head as he stood up. "You guys are impossible. But next time, I'll bring Jungha-hyung here and let you tease him too."
The group burst into laughter, their playful teasing shifting to a new conversation topic. As Hangyeom settled back down, he couldn't help but smile. Being around his members was just as fun as being on set, and he was grateful to have both worlds.
