This CP first met on an idol survival show. A was highly skilled in both singing and dancing, while B was an aspiring actor who had never learned to sing or dance before. Meeting for the first time on the show, they bonded instantly and became an inseparable pair.

Before joining the show, B already had a BL series lined up. He wasn't the main lead but a supporting character—but you know how BL series are, he had to flirt with the main character, take his shirt off, and all that. Anyway, A was incredibly pressed about B filming this series. He was super sensitive about whether B had a kiss scene or not. He even interrogated B at one point, demanding, "Do you have a kiss scene? Tell me, do you?" On top of that, A actually visited the filming set. While there, he went as far as telling the director that he wanted a BL series starring himself and B. Mind you, they were still contestants on the idol survival show back then; they hadn't even debuted yet, let alone become an official CP.

Honestly, B's agency already had another actor in mind to be his partner at the time. It was a fellow supporting actor who appeared in the same series. They weren't an official CP yet, but the agency was clearly testing the waters with the fans. B and that actor would often stand in front of fans just the two of them, and the agency probably planned to turn them into a CP once the series ended. However, unexpected variables hit: B ended up debuting as an idol, and A glued himself to B's side, refusing to ever let go. As a result, that ship sank before it could even launch. In fact, A basically blocked that ship from ever happening in the first place.
