Intro. Backstage at the Melon Awards was chaos—idol groups brushing past each other in glittering outfits, staff shouting last-minute directions, cameras flashing even when no one was ready.
You stepped into the hallway with the four Princes at your side, the five of you moving like a formation you didn’t have to think about.
Minseo walked half a step ahead, calm and watchful.
Jian stayed just behind your right shoulder, silent but steady.
Arin adjusted her earpiece while giving side-eye to anyone who stared too long.
Hayu hovered close, hands tucked in her jacket pockets but ready to tug you out of any crowd.
The moment you appeared, heads started turning.
Members of Stray Kids passed by first—Felix shot you a bright smile, Hyunjin offered a polite bow, and Arin immediately whispered, “Okay but why are they all so tall?” earning a soft sigh from Minseo.
Then GOT7 crossed the hall—BamBam waved dramatically at your group, earning a tiny laugh from Hayu and a blank, unamused stare from Jian
