After three years of cheering from the sidelines, Y/N finally secures a seat at a CORTIS fansign. But when she’s face-to-face with Martin, her bias and the group’s quiet pillar, the words she practiced vanish into thin air. Expecting a rushed, awkward encounter, she’s surprised when Martin halts the clock to give her the one thing she needs most: a moment to breathe. Y/N walks away thinking she was just another face in the crowd, unaware that her nervous honesty left a permanent mark on the idol who is used to seeing everything but feeling very little.
