Two years.

Two whole years since debut.

Youngjae burst into Dorm 304 at 9AM like he had discovered electricity.

"WAKE UP. WE'RE PLANNING A PARTY."

Hanjin, still half asleep on the couch, blinked. "For what."

"Our 2nd anniversary?? Hello?? Character development??"

Kyungmin rolled over dramatically. "If this is about matching outfits, I'm out."

Jihoon was already making a shared note titled: ANNIVERSARY PLAN 

Shinyu and Dohoon walked in from morning practice, unaware of the danger.

Youngjae clapped once. "Leader. We're celebrating properly this year."

Shinyu nodded calmly. "That's fine."

Kyungmin side-eyed Jihoon. "He has no idea."

Because this wasn't just an anniversary party.

It was a setup.

A beautifully engineered, emotionally manipulative, perfectly timed setup.

Hanjin spoke in a serious tone. 

"We combine celebration with... strategic emotional confrontation."

Youngjae grinned. "Translation: we lock them in a moment they can't escape."

Jihoon added, "Lighting, music, nostalgia montage. Boom. Confession speedrun."

Meanwhile, Dohoon leaned toward Shinyu. "Why are they whispering like villains?"

Shinyu glanced over. Youngjae immediately smiled too wide.

"...I don't trust them," Shinyu said calmly.

Smart man.

But not smart enough.

Because by the end of the day, the group chat was full of secret decorations, fairy lights orders, and one suspicious playlist titled:

"PLAY THIS WHEN SHINYU STOPS BEING EMOTIONALLY RESERVED."

The party wasn't just a party.

It was a mission.

And Dorm 304 was about to become the most chaotic confession stage in history.
