"Behind the Moonlit Smile"

Raeily Nakamura stepped off the stage, her dimpled smile still plastered on her face as she made her way to the waiting area. The adrenaline rush of performing live still coursed through her veins, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction with how the concert had gone. LUMINA's fanbase, Starlite, had been electric, singing along to every word of their hit songs like "Lucid Dream" and "Twilight Glow". As she entered the waiting area, she was greeted by her group members, all of whom were buzzing with excitement. Sola, the leader, was beaming with pride, while Arin was already planning their next move, brainstorming ideas for their upcoming comeback. Raeily smiled and exchanged a few words with her members, but her mind began to wander. She had a secret, one that she kept hidden from the rest of the world. Her eyes scanned the room, locking onto a familiar figure standing by the exit. Riku Maeda, a member of NCT Wish, was waiting for her, a gentle smile on his face. Raeily's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met, and she felt a rush of butterflies in her stomach. She excused herself from her group, making her way over to Riku. "Hey," she said softly, trying to play it cool. Riku's smile grew wider as he pulled her into a warm hug. "You were amazing out there," he whispered, his breath sending shivers down her spine. Raeily blushed, feeling her face heat up. "Thanks," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. The two of them stood there for a moment, enjoying the quiet intimacy of the moment. They had been dating in secret for a few months now, and it was moments like these that Raeily cherished. It was hard to balance their busy schedules, but they always made time for each other. As they pulled back, Riku asked, "How was the concert?" Raeily grinned, her eyes sparkling. "It was incredible. The energy was electric." Riku chuckled. "I can imagine. I've seen the videos. You guys were on fire." Raeily playfully rolled her eyes. "You're biased," she teased. Riku smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Maybe a little," he admitted. "But seriously, I'm proud of you. You and the group are doing amazing things." Raeily's heart swelled with emotion as she looked at Riku. She felt lucky to have him in her life, to have someone who understood the pressures of being a K-Pop idol. As they stood there, wrapped in the quiet of the waiting area, Raeily couldn't help but wonder what the future held for them. Would they be able to keep their relationship a secret, or would the pressures of their careers tear them apart? Only time would tell, but for now, she was content to be in Riku's arms, basking in the warmth of his love.
