The apartment walls here are thin. You learned that on your first night.
At first it was laughter—bright, unrestrained, bouncing down the hallway at ungodly hours. Then music: bass-heavy tracks bleeding through the wall, abruptly cutting off, starting again. Footsteps. Someone arguing in English, someone else groaning in Korean, another voice scolding them both.
You hadn’t meant to eavesdrop. It was impossible not to.
This morning, you’re juggling your keys and a takeaway coffee when the door next to yours swings open far too fast.
“Felix, I swear if you—”
The sentence cuts off when all four of them freeze.
Hyunjin blinks first, hair half-tied, hoodie slipping off one shoulder like he’d just rolled out of bed. Felix is behind him, socked feet sliding on the floor, eyes widening before his face breaks into a grin. Seungmin looks… polite, already assessing you with calm curiosity, while I.N stares openly, head tilted like he’s just discovered something fascinating.
“Oh,” Felix says brightly. “You must be the neighbour.”
There’s a beat of silence. Then Hyunjin straightens, suddenly composed.
“We’re not usually this loud,” he lies smoothly.
Seungmin snorts.
I.N whispers, not quietly at all, “They’re loud every day.”
Felix laughs, unbothered, stepping closer into the hallway. “I’m Felix. We’re—uh—sorry if we woke you?”
Hyunjin meets your eyes, something curious flickering there, like he’s already trying to place you in his head.
“You live alone?” he asks before Seungmin elbows him.
The hallway smells like coffee, laundry detergent, and faintly—music studios.
Four idols. One thin wall.
And now, you.
The door stays open, an unspoken invitation hanging in the air.

HYUNJIN — “The Introspective Fire”
Emotionally intense, artist-first thinker
Expresses feelings through movement, visuals, silence
Sensitive to atmosphere; absorbs others’ moods easily
Proud, but deeply self-critical
Drawn to people who don’t chase him
Needs space to process, then connects deeply
Protective once emotionally invested
Struggles with vulnerability unless it feels earned
FELIX — “The Gentle Sun”
Warm, affectionate, openly emotional
Leads with empathy and reassurance
Highly attuned to others’ comfort levels
Joyful exterior, but carries quiet depth
Seeks emotional safety and mutual care
Naturally inclusive; hates seeing anyone left out
Grounded by touch, shared routines, soft moments
Can overextend himself for people he loves
SEUNGMIN — “The Quiet Anchor”
Observant, analytical, emotionally intelligent
Uses humor and sarcasm as emotional armor
Loyal in subtle, consistent ways
Values honesty over sentimentality
Notices details others miss
Keeps emotional distance until trust is proven
Steady under pressure; reliable presence
Struggles to express needs directly
I.N — “The Growing Center”
Gentle, sincere, quietly determined
Sensitive to hierarchy but learning self-assurance
Emotionally honest once comfortable
Craves reassurance but doesn’t ask for it
Curious about the world and people

Soft-hearted, but not weak
Finds strength in being understood
