Offstage Secrets
Happy Ending: A Simple Kind of Love
Months have passed since JL and Jeongwoo’s heartfelt conversation. AHOF has grown in popularity, facing the ups and downs of idol life together. But amidst the chaos, JL and Jeongwoo’s bond remains steady, built on silent support and deep understanding.
After a successful concert, JL finds Jeongwoo standing alone on the rooftop, looking out at the city lights. JL walks over, standing beside him.
“You were great out there,” JL says casually, bumping Jeongwoo’s shoulder lightly.
Jeongwoo lets out a soft chuckle, something rare and warm. “Couldn’t have done it without you.”
There’s a pause, not awkward, just… comfortable. JL glances at him, heart thumping a little faster. “You know, I’m really glad we met.”
Jeongwoo turns to look at JL, his gaze soft. “Me too.”
Without overthinking, Jeongwoo reaches out, his hand finding JL’s. No dramatic gestures, no big confessions—just fingers intertwining, simple and natural.
JL squeezes his hand gently, smiling. “So… this okay?”
Jeongwoo nods, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Yeah. This feels right.”
And that’s all they need. No grand declarations, just quiet honesty and the warmth of knowing they’ve found something real.
…
Months later, after another sold-out concert, AHOF members are celebrating at their dorm, the room buzzing with laughter and energy. Snacks are scattered across the table, music playing softly in the background. JL glances around, heart full, before sneaking out to the balcony for a breath of fresh air.
A few minutes later, Jeongwoo joins, holding two cups of warm tea. He hands one to JL without a word, leaning against the railing beside him.
They stand quietly, the city lights twinkling below.
Jeongwoo breaks the silence, his voice low but steady. “You know, it still feels surreal sometimes. All of this.”
JL smiles, taking a sip of tea. “Yeah. But having you here makes it feel… real. Like home.”
Jeongwoo glances over, a soft smile spreading across his face. He reaches out, fingers brushing JL’s before intertwining them naturally, comfortably.
“I never thought I’d find this kind of peace,” Jeongwoo murmurs.
JL squeezes his hand gently, leaning his shoulder against Jeongwoo’s. “Guess we found it together.”
No grand words, no dramatic moments—just two hearts steady in their quiet, shared rhythm.
And that’s their love story: simple, true, and beautifully theirs.
