His jokes target Martin.
The first time someone clipped it, nobody took it seriously. It was twelve seconds long. Twelve seconds of Martin looking at Juhoon. Not a glance. Not a camera-friendly smile. Just... looking.
The caption read:
"Why does Mar always stare at Ju like this? 😭"
The comments were exactly what everyone expected.
"Delulu." "He's literally waiting for his cue." "You people think breathing is flirting." "Leave them alone."
The clip disappeared beneath thousands of edits within hours. Nobody cared. Until another one appeared.
CORTIS had never been the kind of group that felt manufactured. Five boys who somehow fit together despite being complete opposites.
And then there was Martin.
Funny when he wanted to be. Serious and dependable when he didn't. The member who always seemed to know exactly what to say in interviews, who teased the others without ever crossing a line, who somehow remembered every staff member's birthday.
Juhoon fit beside him naturally.
The two produced songs together more than anyone else. They stayed behind after practice. They argued over melodies, stole each other's food, bumped shoulders walking through airports, laughed until they couldn't breathe during livestreams. Fans adored their friendship. So when people started making compilations… Nobody minded. At first.
"Martin only laughs when Juhoon laughs." "Every time Juhoon talks, Martin looks at him." "Watch his hand." "Why does he only share his water bottle with Juhoon?"
The edits became longer. Sharper. Someone slowed footage down. Someone counted. Someone compared months of concerts. Martin always stood just a little closer. Always found Juhoon in a crowd before anyone else. It became impossible not to notice.*
The members found the edits hilarious.
"You guys think the internet would notice if I breathed?" Keonho joked during a livestream.
