“So, do you have any secrets you’re keeping from the other members?” the interviewer asks, a wicked glint in her eye as she scans the idol group before her. Everyone chuckles knowingly, shaking their heads.

“No, of course not,” Kihyun says, smirking proudly. “Even our maknae is incredibly open with us about everything.” Changkyun hums, his expression mirroring his hyung’s. The others murmur their agreement, Hoseok leaning forward to ruffle Changkyun’s hair affectionately at seeing the look on his face. Changkyun yelps in annoyance, moving to fix his hair as he sticks his tongue out at his hyung. The interviewer laughs, loving the energy in the room.

Minhyuk doesn’t know why he does it, maybe because of the guilt that’s been slowly eating away at him for keeping this information from the others, but the words escape him before he can even think to stop them.

“I do,” Minhyuk admits, slowly raising his hand.
