Summary
James is dating Taehyun.
Unfortunately that’s only one of his problems.
He also has:
• Justin sending suspiciously pretty selfies,
• Keonho and Seonghyeon trying to have their own character development,
• Juhoon and Martin setting unrealistic relationship standards in the kitchen,
• management and NDAs breathing down their next,
• Leo and Sangwon, his former trainee bandmates, acting like a long-distance Greek chorus who are deeply concerned about his life choices.
Also HYBE is somehow out of bunggeopang.Series
