It's unusually quiet at the Enhypen dorm, save for an ambient tune from a bluetooth speaker. In the living room, an unusual scene. Two boys reclined side by side, legs elevated on the couch's adjustable footrests, chins trained upward, black hair fanned out on head rests. Today while most of the group is gone, cat and mouse peacefully coexist.

It bears mentioning that they both have on damp tea bags over their eyes and matching face mask sheets. Its a self-care thing.

"Ddeonu?" Sunghoon lazily pats the plush leather couch with an arm.

"Mm muh— what?"

"How.... long are do to keep these on for?" the words spill out of the older boys mouth like molasses,  "Wait. Don't answer. I hear you, mouthful of boba and it gives me the creeps."

"Wh— How dare you!" Sunoo lets out a dramatic gasp, throwing three rapid slaps on what he assumes to be a thigh. "Rude, hyung! So rude!"

Sunghoon bursts into a laugh, imagining the pout on his dongsaeng's face.

"Oh please," He takes a beat, presumably to swallow before resuming, "Its not like you don't already spend the first hour of your day sitting here in pause mode. Might as well do something luxurious for your skin while you're at it. God forbid you do something that makes you look less dead in the eyes."

Impatient, Sunghoon groans. He swears he can hear the younger boy roll his eyes.

"Here, have some boba." Sunoo scoffs, blindly passing their cold drink to his left. "I've got this timed on my phone, so chill."

"Fine. Gimme," he makes grabby hands into thin air, finally making contact with the cup. "ah— there it is."

Sunghoon fumbles a bit, trying to get his lips around the bendy boba straw. "Hm? Is this coffee?" a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Yeah, I got a cafe latte boba this morning."

"Nice." Sunghoon does a small celebratory shoulder wiggle in gratitude.

"I'm done with that by the way. Take the rest, I'm gonna switch to water in a bit."

The older boy raises an eyebrow, taking in a long sip of drink, taking his time to chew a few tapioca pearls.

"That sounds a bit sus," he breathes out a smirk. "but thanks all the same," he shakes his cup in Sunoo's general direction just enough to hear sloshing ice.

A guilty silence.

"Well... Maybe you're right." the younger boy sighs, "Maybe I'm trying to make up for something."

"I figured."

Since living together at I-LAND it was clear how into skincare Sunoo was, more so how possessive he could be about products he saved up for special occasions. Sunghoon knew this stash of premium tea comically splayed on their faces wasn't cheap (or for drinking).
