 Jaehyun was glad to hear from his members that they thought Dante's Inferno was "talented", "well-mannered", and, in Jungwoo's case, "hot". That was Jungwoo's problem. Jaehyun himself had seen Taeyong in person for the second time. Despite being barefaced, the leader of Dante's Inferno was still as attractive as ever. Jaehyun hoped that it wasn't obvious that he was staring. Jaehyun was glad that Chenle had found a friend right away. On second thought, almost everyone had found a friend in Dante's Inferno. Jaehyun smiled to himself. Today was a success. Not only had they officially met their collaborators, but also kept Mark and Donghyuck a secret, made sure Chenle didn't go into full fanboy mode, and kept himself in check when Taeyong was around.

"Doyoung, who are you texting?" Kun asked, stacking the dished by the sink. Doyoung suddenly looked up.

"No one in particular," Doyoung replied. Chenle leaned over his shoulder.

"Ohhh, who's Taeil? Why does he have three hearts next to his name?" Chenle asked, none to quietly.

"H—He's just a friend," Doyoung stuttered. Ten raised an eyebrow.

"That is not the face one makes when he is texting 'just a friend'," Ten mocked. Doyoung turned red.

"He's no one, I swear!" Doyoung defended. Mark shook his head.

"You like this guy," Mark pointed out. Doyoung sputtered.

"Excuse me?!" Doyoung yelled. Donghyuck nodded along with Mark, feigning seriousness.

"Yes, that is the face one would make when he is talking with a beloved," Donghyuck said.

"Of course you would know," Ten jabbed at Donghyuck, who turned and stuck his tongue out at him.

"Who did you say this was?" Jeno asked.

"Taeil, with three hearts next to his name!" Chenle singsonged. Jaehyun finally realized who it was.

"Taeil, as in the main vocalist of Dante's Inferno. That Taeil?" Jaehyun asked. Sudden silence descended in the kitchen.

"Shoot, our Doyoung's got the hots for Dante's Inferno's oldest," Chenle whispered. Doyoung finally found his voice.

"As if you don't for their youngest," Doyoung snapped. Chenle's jaw hit the floor.

"Hey! You didn't need to call me out like that!"

"Johnny, who are you texting," Yuta asked. Johnny suddenly looked up.

"Um," Johnny said, turning his hand to hide his phone screen. Yukhei reached over the table to snatch his phone.

"Hey!" Johnny yelled out indignantly and made a half-hearted swipe for it, which failed.

"Who's 'Tennie'?" Yukhei asked.

"Main dancer of Elemental," Taeyong replied automatically. Jisung looked up.

"The guy with the dance solo?" Jisung asked. Taeyong nodded. Suddenly, something clicked together for Taeyong.

"Johnny, when we left this morning, you mentioned a crush?" Taeyong asked. Johnny's eyes widened comically.
