1. The unexpected encounter

Let gerrit👇

"It only took one second, one look, for both's hearts to betray them."

(Both male leads are biggest idols from a different biggest boys band in Seoul city, Korea.)

The backstage area of award shows was always chaos,stylists rushing with last minute touch ups, managers whispering reminders, idols trying to stay calm while waiting for their turn under the blinding stage lights.

Felix had grown used to it. With Stray Kids rising higher each year, he knew the routine well, smile, bow, perform, and keep his voice steady in interviews. Still, a part of him always feltt small in these big arenas like he was surrounded by stars he wasn't sure he could ever reach.

Tonight, the stadium was filled with idols he admired from afar, but there was one name that made his heart beat a little faster whenever he heard it. Park Jimin.

Felix had been a trainee when BTS was at their peak, and Jimin had always been his inspiration. Not just because of the flawless dancing and angelic voice, but because of that warmth Jimin seemed to carry wherever he went. Even through a screen, Felix had felt it like Jimin's presence alone could lift the weight of a bad day.

And now... they were under the same roof.

"Felix, let's move," his manager nudged him. The group lined up, ready to be escorted to their seats near the front row. Felix adjusted his blazer nervously, his freckles barely hidden by makeup. He inhaled deeply. Just another award show.

But fate had other plans.

As Stray Kids group were guided past BTS's row, Felix's gaze accidentally lifted and landed right on jimin

Felix said "Damn,..he's more beautiful in person than I've ever imagined. His skin glowed under the soft lights, his eyes kind yet sharp, his smile gentle but powerful enough to disarm anyone who looked too long, fuck why does it feels like I've never seen him before, he looks so different tonight" .

And in that exact moment, Jimin looked up also.

Their eyes met.

It wasn't supposed to mean anything. Just a quick glance. But Felix felt it like a jolt of electricity ran through his body. He froze, his lips parting slightly, his chest tightening as though the air had suddenly grown too thin.

Jimin tilted his head the slightest bit, curiosity sparking in his gaze. And then, to Felix's utter shock, Jimin smiled. Not the polished stage smile, but something softer. Personal. Directed only at him.

Felix's ears turned red instantly. He bowed quickly, almost too deep, before moving along with his members, heart pounding so loudly he could barely hear the cheers from the audience anymore.

Sitting down, he tried to calm himself, but the image of Jimin's eyes lingered stubbornly.

"Hyung(Big brother)," I.N whispered beside him, "why are you so red? You okay?"

Felix gave a weak laugh. "Yeah... just hot in here." But inside, he knew the truth.

That single look, that smile, it felt like the beginning of something he couldn't explain.

Maybe love really could happen at first sight.

The performance ended, but Felix's heart hadn't calmed down. He bowed with his group, waved at the fans, and sat back down, but his mind kept drifting to one thing,..one person.

Jimin.

Every time he closed his eyes, Felix saw the way Jimin's gaze had pinned him in place. It wasn't just kind. It wasn't just soft. There had been something else hiding beneath it, something that made Felix's skin prickle with both fear and desire.

Later, backstage, Stray Kids and BTS crossed paths again. The hallways were tight, crowded with staff, yet somehow Felix felt the air grow heavy as soon as Jimin appeared at the other end.

Jimin's presence was different up close calmer than the noise around him, but unnervingly magnetic. He wasnt smiling now. His expression was unreadable, his sharp eyes scanning the hallway until they landed on Felix.

Felix's breath hitched. He looked away too quickly, pretending to check his phone, but he felt it, and Jimin's gaze burning into him watching.

"Hyung," Han nudged him. "Spacing out again?"

Felix shook his head, forcing a small smile, but his hands trembled slightly.

When they turned the corner, Felix thought it was over. But then he heard it. A voice, low and smooth, calling his name.

"Felix."

He froze. Slowly, he turned.

Jimin stood there alone, just a few feet away, separated from the others as if the world had parted for the two of them. His expression was calm, but his eyes carried a darkness Felix couldn't quite name.

"You're... Felix, right?" Jimin asked, stepping closer.

Felix nodded quickly, bowing. "Y-yes, sunbaenim(sir)." His voice cracked slightly, betraying his nerves.

jimin said "Why am I even asking, of course I know you so well"

Jimin's lips curled into the faintest smirk. "The boy with the deep voice and the freckles."

Felix's cheeks heated. He hadn't expected someone like Jimin to notice details like that.

But before he could respond, Jimin leaned in so slightly, his voice dropping to a whisper only Felix could hear.

"You shouldn't look at people the way you looked at me earlier."

Felix blinked, stunned. "I—I didn't—🥺.”

Jimin's eyes glimmered with something dangerous, something Felix couldn't place between warning and invitation. He reached out, brushing his fingers lightly against Felix's wrist just a ghost of a touch, enough to leave Felix shivering.

Then Jimin straightened, smile returning like nothing had happened.

"See you around, Felix." Jimin walked away

Felix said "Omg what just happened" with goosebumps all over his body.

And just like that, jimin was gone, leaving Felix frozen in the hallway, pulse racing, his body caught between fear and an undeniable pull.

For the first time in his life, Felix felt like he was standing at the edge of something he didn't fully understand. Something beautiful. Something dangerous.
