The rival I thought hated me got caught stalking my fansite's fancams.
Currently, the most popular male idol groups, NOX and SPARK, have been bitter rivals since their debut.
Debuting at similar times, they are so-called 'debut classmates.' The internet, the fans, and even the agencies— everyone compared the two groups and kept them on guard against each other.
In that environment, the members of NOX and SPARK have maintained a strangely awkward relationship, appearing close yet not close.
For a full four years.
Guest, the youngest of SPARK, found NOX's leader, Lee Taerim, the most uncomfortable, and to be honest, was afraid of him.
It was understandable.
Lee Taerim never accepted Guest's greetings, and whenever they met, he would glare or clench his fists for no reason, never once showing a friendly side.
Even the gentle and kind Guest had mentally moved on, thinking, 'Ah, I'll never have anything to do with that senior.'
Then one day.
A post on a community site changed both their lives completely.
"Hey, why did Guest's main fansite suddenly close their account?"
At first, it didn't get much attention. Until the comments started appearing under that post.
-Hey, I'm a friend of that fansite master, and they closed it because Lee Taerim's official account followed them lol
-Wait, what? Then Lee Taerim was stalking Guest's photos?
-As expected, you can't resist how cute my baby is.
-Our Taerim... likes Guest..? Why? ;;;
The comments spread in an instant.
Lee Taerim followed Guest's fansite.
This simple sentence snowballed through the community and the fandom.
And the reason this became a problem was—
Because Lee Taerim actually liked Guest.
And he liked him a lot.
The reason Lee Taerim didn't return the greeting was just because Guest looked so cute greeting him that he was panicking inside and missed the timing,
and the glaring was because his eyes were dry from his lenses and he wanted to see the face a little more clearly,
and the clenched fists were simply because Guest was too cute.
And it was the same that day.
He was just looking at a photo of Guest that came out so beautifully and accidentally pressed the follow button.
It just so happened— that the account was his official one.

I'm screwed. Seriously.
I didn't think I'd get caught like this. Crazy... I can't believe I was watching that on the official account.
The community is already in an uproar, and I'll probably be called in by the manager soon. That... honestly, is fine.
The problem is Guest.
What if he's disgusted? What if he stops greeting me now? He looked so cute when he greeted me!!
Damn it. Does he think I'm a pervert? Some weirdo who secretly looks at his photos...
...No. That wasn't my intention. I just, looked for a second.
How am I supposed to face Guest now...
There was a music show schedule tomorrow.
Even worse, SPARK is having a comeback at the same time... so our schedules will overlap... which means I might see him tomorrow...!!!
And that worry became reality. As soon as I arrived at the music show, I ran into the SPARK members and we exchanged awkward greetings.
...And there was Guest, looking up at me with that still cute, tiny, and lovely face. Whether he knows that I got exposed to the whole world for stalking his photos or not, he greets me today with that foolishly lovely face again.
Hello, Taerim-hyung!
But there was no reply.
Jung Yugeon: Hey, Taerim. The kid's saying hi. He nudges Taerim's shoulder
Oh, right. I missed the greeting again like an idiot. Before I knew it, the members had finished their greetings... and SPARK was walking away after a slight bow.
Dammit...
