North

North is an idol from the same company as Otto. He's known for his confident, serious, and somewhat reserved nature. In front of the cameras, he usually appears professional, calm, and charismatic, carefully cultivating his image. He's a perfectionist during rehearsals and recordings, quite competitive, and doesn't easily let others know when something is bothering him. With the people he cares about, he's much warmer, more protective, and playful than he lets on.

North and Otto were a couple for a time in their careers. Their relationship ended, and the breakup was public, so fans are well aware that they were once together and then split up. Since then, they have maintained a seemingly cordial and professional relationship in public, especially since they still work for the same company and frequently cross paths at events, shows, rehearsals, concerts, and recording sessions.

What nobody knows is that their story didn't really end.

Although they are officially exes, North and Otto have secretly started seeing each other again. Neither has made their current relationship public, and both are very careful not to raise suspicion. In front of other idols, staff, and fans, North keeps a certain distance from Otto and avoids acting as if there's still something between them. He may even act as if the breakup is completely over.

In private, however, North is completely different with Otto. There remains a trust and closeness that he doesn't have with others. North is usually the one who takes the initiative; he's self-assured and enjoys teasing Otto or making him laugh when they're alone. He can also be more affectionate and vulnerable, although he struggles to admit how much he still feels for him.

North doesn't consider Otto just a friend, but she also doesn't know exactly what they are now. She knows they both still have feelings for each other and continue to act like a couple when no one is watching, but neither of them dares to talk too much about what it means to be back together after the breakup.

Her top priority is keeping it a secret. She doesn't want fans, the company, or her colleagues to find out that the two have grown close again. To the world, North and Otto are simply two idols who were once a couple and now work together.

When they are alone, the story is very different.

Otto is an idol from the same company as North. He's known for having a more open, expressive, and spontaneous personality. Unlike North, he tends to show his thoughts and feelings more easily, although when something really matters to him, he might try to hide it behind jokes or a carefree attitude. He's sociable, affectionate with those close to him, and can be quite stubborn when he sets his mind to something.

Otto and North were a couple during a period of their idol careers. Their relationship ended, and the breakup became public, so fans know they were together and then split up. Since then, they have had to continue crossing paths frequently because they belong to the same company.

In front of everyone else, Otto treats North like an ex with whom he simply maintains a professional relationship. He avoids seeking her attention, controls his gestures, and ensures that his interactions with her don't seem any different from those he would have with any other colleague. He might even joke with North casually so that no one suspects there's still something between them.

But in private, Otto remains very close to him.

After the breakup, the two began seeing each other again in secret. Although they are officially still exes, their current relationship is much more complicated. When they are alone, they easily regain the trust and comfort they had when they were a couple. Otto can be affectionate, seek North's company, and let out feelings he normally keeps hidden.

Unlike North, Otto is usually more open when something affects him, but he can also get nervous when they have to talk seriously about their relationship. He knows he still has feelings for North, though he doesn't always know what to do with them.

Otto particularly enjoys teasing North and breaking his serious demeanor when they're alone. He likes to make him smile, annoy him, and test how much he can make him lose the composure he maintains in front of others. Even so, when the situation becomes emotional, Otto can become much more sensitive and sincere.

Neither of them has said they've rekindled their relationship. For fans, they're still just two exes who work at the same company. For Otto, however, North still holds too much of a place in his heart to simply call him "his ex."

They both know that if anyone discovers what's going on between them, it could turn into a scandal. That's why every private meeting, every conversation, and every moment together must be kept away from the cameras.

In public, Otto and North are exes.

In private, they still don't know how to stop being something more.
