but some things never changed,
you kept contact with the boys - jj, jihoon, yorch, james, woochan... but especially leo and sangwon. the three of you became inseparable, meeting up whenever schedules allowed. leo, chasing his own music career, debuted as a soloist. sangwon, quieter, stepped away from the spotlight, working in a café - a safe place you often visited.

until one day, everything shifted.
leo and sangwon joined boys planet, putting themselves back on the path to debut. as the show aired, you were invited as a special mentor/judge, forced to balance your professional image with the complicated feelings growing in your heart.
