Somewhere Between Then and Now Jay's life has always been planned. Every goal mapped out. Every decision carefully calculated. Every day following the same routine. Then, on a whim he still doesn't understand, he signs up for a college trekking trip. Three days. One mountain. And six strangers who are about to turn his world upside down. Among them is Heeseung-the adventurous, free-spirited boy who lives for the moment and never stays in one place for too long. Where Jay sees certainty, Heeseung sees possibilities. Where Jay follows plans, Heeseung follows the horizon. What begins as a simple trip soon becomes the start of unforgettable friendships, reckless adventures, late-night conversations, and feelings neither of them expected. But growing up means choosing different paths. Years later, after time, distance, and unsaid goodbyes pull them apart, an unexpected reunion forces them to face the memories they left behindand the people they never truly forgot. A story about friendship, first love, growing up, and discovering that sometimes the people who change your life the most are the ones you never planned to meet. heejay jakewon

It all starts when Jake accidentally creates a random Instagram gc after mixing up his contacts. The problem? Nobody knows each other. Now seven completely different strangers are trapped in one chaotic group chat: Jay argues with people like it's his full-time job, Heeseung flirts for fun and causes emotional damage daily, Sunoo exposes everyone within 0.2 seconds, Ni-ki exists only to make situations worse, Sunghoon pretends he's normal while being equally chaotic, and Jungwon watches everything unfold like he's in a reality show. What starts as awkward introductions quickly turns into: midnight arguments, cursed memes, accidental oversharing, fake blocking threats, random voice calls, relationship allegations, and everyone slowly becoming weirdly attached to the gc they all claimed to hate. No one remembers why the gc was made anymore. But leaving it? That somehow feels illegal now.

After transferring from the United States to a new high school in Korea, Jay wants only one thing: to survive quietly. No attention. No rumors. No getting close to people again. But that becomes impossible when six boys slowly force their way into his life. There's Heeseung, the calm top student who notices everything Jay tries to hide. Jake and Jungwon, whose constant chaos somehow feels comforting. And Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki-three disasters who refuse to leave him alone no matter how hard he tries to push people away. As old rumors follow Jay into his new school, he struggles with bullying, loneliness, and the fear of trusting people again. But between late-night tutoring sessions, stolen hoodies, shared umbrellas, movie nights, and quiet moments that start feeling dangerously safe... Jay slowly begins to realize something terrifying: Maybe not everyone leaves. Maybe some people stay. ships: heejay jakewon Sunsun Lil bit sunki *entertainment purpose only*

Being an ENHYPEN fan was supposed to be simple. For @jayieee, @imjace, and @Soorreenn, life revolved around edits, livestreams, fan posts, and screaming over every update their favorite group uploaded. As long-time fanboys, they never expected anything more than a like on their postsif they were lucky. But everything changes when a few random interactions turn into daily conversations. A reply becomes a follow. A follow becomes a friendship. And friendship slowly becomes something neither side can ignore. The only problem? The people behind @imasherrr, @nonchalant.riki @iceprincee and @ilovelayla aren't ordinary users. They're ENHYPEN. Without knowing each other's real identities, the six boys grow closer through latenight messages, inside jokes, and conversations they find themselves looking forward to every day. But secrets can't stay hidden forever, and when the truth finally comes out, they'll have to decide whether what they built online can survive in the real world. Because sometimes, the person you've been searching for is only a username away.....
