Beomgyu jerks his head up, glare loaded. "Excuse me?"
"You heard me." Taehyun smirks, leaning back against the headboard like he just played his trump card. "Don't post snippets, hype people up, then ghost like you always do. You recorded that song for a reason. So stop hiding behind what-ifs and hit upload."
Beomgyu glares harder, but his pulse is already in his ears. "You're obnoxious."
"Thank you," Taehyun says sweetly. "Now do it."
The silence stretches, taut as wire. Then—with a muttered curse and a glare sharp enough to cut—the mouse clicks. The progress bar crawls across the screen, and just like that, his truth is out in the world.

No hashtags. No fanfare. Just the song. Raw. Unfiltered. Him.
Beomgyu stares at the screen, heart thundering like it's trying to claw its way out. Taehyun grins like a cat in cream. "Congrats, superstar. First scandal, first power move. Character development arc unlocked."
"Shut up," Beomgyu mutters, dragging the hood over his head. "I hate this."
His phone buzzes. Once. Twice. And then it detonates in his hand.

Beomgyu drops the phone onto the desk, groans into his hoodie, and contemplates faking his own death. Outside, the storm keeps building—fandom chaos brewing like a supernova. But somewhere under the static, a spark catches in his chest.
For the first time in weeks, he doesn't feel invisible.
Yeonjun hates quiet nights.
Because when the music dies and the lights stop burning hot against his skin, the noise in his head gets louder. It's happening now—his apartment steeped in city glow, the faint hum of traffic beyond the glass, and him sprawled on the couch like a king who just lost a war.
The sting on his cheek hasn't faded. Neither has the sound.
If you can't handle being overshadowed, THEN DON'T FUCKING GET ON STAGES.
He hears it every time he blinks, sharp enough to leave cuts inside his skull.

FanfictionHe wasn't even playing. Just a notebook, a guitar on his side, and sunlight in his hair, and suddenly, Beomgyu's face is all over campus feeds. The internet crowns him the Guitar Prince. Too bad Yeonjun, the star of that dance video, hasn't forgiven...
