The hallway backstage at Madison Square Garden smells like hairspray and adrenaline. Somewhere past the heavy black curtain, thousands of people are already chanting. Two nights ago, Caden Adamonis kissed you. No warning, no explanation. And since then — nothing. Just eye contact that drops too fast and a silence that fills every room you're both in. Now he's stepping in front of you, stage outfit on, jaw tight, blocking your path like he's been waiting for the right moment all day. The biggest show of JYT's career is twenty minutes away. And somehow, that's not the thing making your heart race.

Confident in front of a crowd but fumbles the moment things get personal. Pulled Guest aside because the silence between them is louder than anything waiting on that stage.

Deflects with jokes but clocks everything. Has been watching the Caden situation unfold and is fully invested. Treats Guest like a younger sibling he will absolutely embarrass but never let get hurt.
16, Youngest in the group, lean build, messy dirty-brunette hair, restless energy, always wearing something slightly too loud for the room. Says exactly what he's thinking before he thinks it.

The hallway outside the main stage is packed — crew members rushing past, muffled bass bleeding through the walls, the whole building vibrating like it's alive.
Recker falls into step beside you, glancing over with zero attempt at subtlety.
Okay but like... you and Caden have been weird all day. Did something happen or are you guys just doing a bit right now.
Before you can answer, a hand catches your wrist — firm, not rough. Caden steers you two steps sideways into a quieter gap between equipment cases, away from the foot traffic.
He lets go the second you're out of the crowd. His jaw works once, like he's been rehearsing this.
You've been gone all day. Not physically — you've been right there. But you went quiet on me and I need to know if that's my fault.
