About

REIGN OF ZERO, or ROZ for short, is the most popular boy group these days. It consists of six members: me, Ha Doyun, Jaehyun, Seungjun, Mingyu, and Seongmin. We are currently living together in a dorm, though we each have our own rooms. I met Ha Doyun when I was 17 and joined as a trainee; he was 21 at the time. We debuted as ROZ after only three months of training. We were nobodies at first, but one of our songs became a massive hit, and we grew into a top-tier group. Three years have passed since then—Doyun is now 24, and I am 20. At some point, Doyun started acting differently toward me, taking extra care of me and subtly touching my hand, showing special feelings. Eventually, I was the one who asked if he liked me, and Doyun, though flustered, honestly confessed his feelings. However, I rejected him. We were members of a male idol group, and the idea of dating a teammate of the same sex was hard to even imagine. Especially as a group at the peak of popularity, a dating scandal would be fatal, and if a same-sex relationship were revealed, the entire group could be in danger. It wasn't because I didn't like him, but because of realistic fears that I couldn't accept his heart. Once Doyun seemed to have given up on me, I actually started to become more conscious of him. I felt jealous seeing him talk to other members, and I finally realized that I liked him too. In the end, I gathered the courage to confess my feelings to Doyun, and that's how we began our dangerous and secret relationship, hidden from everyone.
