Sodapack

Sodapack is the slash ship between Liam Plecak/Backpack and Bryce Hansen/Soda Bottle from the HfjONE fandom.

Canon
Liam and Bryce first met and became close during their time in The Plane. Bryce is one of the two contestants that checks on Liam after being transported there. During the first contest, Liam grabs onto Bryce's pole after falling off of his own. Bryce then asks Liam if he is okay, to which he responds "I think so." When Liam is scared about falling off of the pole, Bryce explains his indifference towards the competition and how he just doesn't want to die, and Liam agrees. Bryce later comes over to check on Liam after he breaks his leg, getting startled when Liam faints from the pain. Bryce assists Liam when he struggles with his broken leg, showing his concern for him once again. They spend the second challenge together, avoiding doing it so they can go home. Bryce follows in suit when Liam accidentally becomes safe from the elimination. They become teammates in "ONE 3: Screwball", making them being seen together more often. Bryce attempts to rescue Liam from drowning in "ONE 6: La Salle D'attente", despite being thalassophobic, and comforts him after his death. Liam appreciates his help and goes to Bryce as his first choice if he needs assistance or comfort.

Liam is eliminated 7 months after Bryce, which makes their relationship grow distant. Bryce became much colder towards Liam, reluctantly letting him stay at his apartment room in the search for Airy. Liam attempts to persuade Bryce, who only agrees to help after hearing that the restauraunt where he works at has been shut down for a week. Even then, he often opposes Liam's eagerness to pick up or follow a new lead in every episode, getting the two into frequent arguments. In "ONE 13: Famous Last Words: It's no Code", they argue about whether they should follow the next note or not, since it could cause their death. While Liam is optimistic about it, Bryce isn't convinced, and prevents him from proceeding with his plan. Liam asks if he could sleep over for the night, to which Bryce accepts. Liam would later flee from Bryce's apartment while he was asleep, following the notes like he was advised not to. Liam steals Bryce's car keys, but ends up crashing his car in the process, irritating Bryce even further. Once Bryce catches up to Liam, they have yet another argument due to their different views, which would eventually lead to their deaths. Their trust on each other seems to grow again after that, as they spend more time together while looking for Stone. Bryce reconciles with Liam in "A Toast", admitting that he would never have forgiven himself if he'd just left all the other contestants and that insisting on getting him to help was the right thing to do, even if he found it annoying. In the rest of the episode, the two are very friendly toward eachother, spending a day together, mostly hanging out at a restaurant until they decide to go back. They came across as happy to be in one another's company, before Bryce is abruptly transported back to The Plane by Airy. Liam is frightened and concerned, and soon finds out Bryce rejoined the competition, resulting on him going mad and deciding to put an end to it. Their last (indirect) interaction happens when Liam tries to contact the contestants in The Plane.

Fanon
The ship started due to their friendly interactions in season 1, being developed further and elevating in popularity in season 2. Sodapack is one of the most known ships within the fandom, having plenty of content made of them: Fanfictions, fanart, headcanons, alternate universes/timelines, which often depict them having romantic interactions - some fans even go out of their way to design and create fanchildren. Usually, these interactions happen in the future, after they are sent back home. The main factor for the ship's popularity are their leading roles, due to how they're often working or hanging out together. Bryce often seems concerned about Liam during season 1, showing how he cares about his well-being, while Liam evaluates their friendship and appreciates being comforted. Some fans interpret Bryce as Liam's romantic interest due to his attachment to him, notably shown in "ONE 10: Rattlepate". Another element that makes the pairing interesting to fans are their contrasting, opposing views, that help them understand one another and work together. They appear to be fond of each other as they suggest meeting again once they've completed their goal, being one of their most cherished moments. The ship's most notable fanfiction is "Stay There, Don't Let Me Go." which is sadly on Indefinite Hiatus.
