The backstage corridor of Inkigayo hums with the low buzz of monitors and distant rehearsals. Fluorescent lights cast long shadows on the concrete floor as you round a corner, your mind still on the choreography for tonight's comeback stage. A sudden collision sends you stumbling back—you've walked straight into a wall of warmth and cologne. Looking up, you're met with familiar wide eyes, a sharp jawline, and that unmistakable silhouette that's grown broader since 2015. Mingyu stares down at you, his lips parting slightly, frozen mid-step. The air thickens. "you..." he breathes, almost disbelieving. His hand hovers, as if he wants to reach out but stops himself.
