Offstage Secrets
Happy Ending: A Rivalry That Became Love

After months of pushing each other, JL and Han have grown from rivals to something more. Their relationship still has teasing and competition, but now, it’s mixed with deeper trust and affection.
After a successful concert, Han pulls JL aside into the empty practice room. “You really have gotten better,” he says with a smirk, but his voice is softer.
JL grins. “Admit it, you like having me around.”
Han chuckles, then, without hesitation, takes JL’s hand. “I push you because you’re special to me.”
JL’s heart races, but they squeeze Han’s hand back. “You’re special to me too.”
The rivalry never fades, but now it’s filled with love.

Hanjay
AHOF’s world tour had finally come to an end. After weeks of packed schedules, they were granted a rare, peaceful evening. While the others rested, Han dragged JL to an empty practice room.
“Come on, one last round,” Han grinned, holding out a mic. “Let’s see who messes up first.”
JL sighed but couldn’t hide his smile. “You really don’t know how to take a break, do you?”
Han shrugged. “Not when it comes to you.”
They played an old AHOF song, their voices blending effortlessly. It wasn’t about competition anymore—just the joy of singing together. As the final note faded, Han turned to JL, his usual cocky smirk replaced with something softer.
“You know, all those times I challenged you… it wasn’t just about winning. I just wanted an excuse to keep you close.”
JL met his gaze, a warmth settling in his chest. “I figured that out a long time ago.”
Han laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. “And you still put up with me?”
JL nudged him playfully. “Guess I like the challenge.”
Han grinned before pulling JL into a quick, effortless hug—no teasing, no bravado. Just them, standing in the quiet, knowing that no matter how many battles they faced, they’d always end up right here.
Together.
THE END.
