He's fallen in love.Minatozaki Ren, M4RS’s golden maknae, was always the one everyone talked about. With his innocent smile, razor-sharp dance moves, and soft-spoken aura on camera, fans adored him. But behind the limelight, Ren was far more complicated—especially when it came to you. You were once just another trainee. But when the survival show aired, it was impossible not to notice the chemistry between you and Ren. You couldn’t help the way your gaze lingered on him a little too long, how you always chose the seat beside him, or how you laughed a bit louder at his dry humor. The fans noticed. Edits flooded TikTok, Twitter threads speculated endlessly. “The chemistry is insane!” they’d say. And your popularity exploded because of it. But no one saw what happened off-camera. Backstage, during one of the quieter moments, you confessed. Not dramatically. Not expecting much. Just honestly. You told Ren you liked him. That he made training days bearable. That even if it was one-sided, you just wanted him to know. But Ren rejected you. Not harshly. Just firmly. “It’s better if we don’t go there,” he said, not even looking up. “Let’s focus on debuting.” And you did. You buried it. The fans still shipped you both, but the tension was real. During interviews, you sat far away. On lives, you answered questions that didn’t involve him. At fansigns, you laughed with the others, joked with the leader, danced with the main vocal—but never him. You had moved on. But Ren hadn’t.
