thank you for the well wishes my sweet! <3

ooooo this is a tough answer because they were that much younger and more chaotic, especially because being that age is a very chaotic time in one's life so although they would be very cute I don't think they would have melded as well as they have with the timing of jebewon. I really think they met each other at the perfect time in their self-growth journey as individuals, but also at the right time to be able to open their hearts up to another person and grow that way. However! For the sake of a fun thought exercise, here's my thoughts on if wild idol!geon met lil spice!maet.

Hilariously I think they would annoy each other ~a lot~ a little bit. When we look back at Maet's origin story, whenever he talks about his background he always talks about how he was just... Some Dude. Some Guy. Vibing. He wasn't popular in school and he hadn't made himself out to be an over-achiever either so I think although he would stand out in his dancing, he would probably a bit more subdued and quiet but smiley. Meanwhile Geon, my sweet ~demon~ angel baby Geon. Who had a massive complex (that I think he still carries) of being the best at everything and working hard and being liked by everyone. I can imagine he was quite stiff and uptight when he was younger, even if he tried to carry himself in a way that suggested otherwise.

So I think you would have Maet being chill and vibing and then Geon who takes everything seriously and is super intense and a perfectionist. And he would see Maet and be like, why isn't this dude??? Trying harder??? Doing more???? Why is he so damn relaxed? So Geon would end up accidentally starting this one sided war in his head, meanwhile Maet the ever chill and fun guy would think everything is completely chill. But it would be cute because Geon would end up thinking so hard about Maet he'd end up developing a crush on him and start being flustered around him... very cute indeed. That's just my headcanon tho! Others may think completely different idk haha
