at heeseung's house

"cool everyone's here except for soft cheeks and the ice prince," heeseung said as he was opening all the cup ramen.

"weird nicknames don't you think ?" sunghoon said, panting at the door with his hand on sunoo's shoulder.

"great the gang's altogether !" jungwon exclaimed.

everyone sat at heeseung's dining table waiting for the hot cup ramen to finish its magic. while doing so, they talked a bit. talked about how their day was going, what their expectations were for this cup ramen, how riki purchased that dodgy ps5. a few minutes later their ramen was to their liking, and they all dug in. "hey, this doesn't taste half bad !" jake said. "yeah, it tastes more than half bad," riki said, gagging in disgust. "we have preferences riki, some people like it, some don't, and plus, you're getting another one," jay stated. "you want it ? i don't want it anymore," riki stood up from his seat and walked to heeseung's living room. "i'll take it !," jake snatched the product from riki's hands and frantically put it in his bag. no one really knew why jake did that, it's not like there was rush or anything.

eventually, everyone would finish eating their ramen, go to the kitchen and throw their cup away, and join riki in the living room. obviously, sunghoon and sunoo went together to the kitchen, and discussed their thoughts on how the noodles tasted. "those noodles were okay at best," "i wouldn't find myself eating them again though,". sunoo wasn't much of a picky person when it comes to food, he will most likely eat anything you give him. "really babe ? i quite liked the noodles, i might actually buy some for myself,". and there it goes, babe. though they thought they were the only ones to hear sunghoon say it, they most definitely were not. the last one to finish came to the kitchen not too long after sunoo and sunghoon did.

FIRST WITNESS : FOUND

WITNESS : YANG JUNGWON

jungwon is a naturally quiet person, sometimes you don't even sense his presence. the same applied in this situation. when jungwon arrived at the kitchen, he saw sunghoon and sunoo talk and just instinctively hid and eavesdropped. while hiding, he was questioning himself 'why are you hiding ?' until he heard the word "babe" come from sunghoon's mouth, obviously directed to sunoo. he looked closer at the two and saw them look at each other fondly. if the previous word hadn't been said, this would look like a normal, friendly talk but who the fuck calls their good friend 'babe' unironically ?? jungwon thought that there was definitely something more going on between them. to test if his current suspicions were correct, he decided to walk in the kitchen as normal, and analyse their body language and reaction.

like planned, jungwon just walked in the kitchen. if his suspicions were wrong, they should only either look at me and continue their conversation, say hi to me, talk to me or go "oh em gee you scared me,". anything, otherwise, or just unusual, his suspicions should be safe to deem correct. jungwon did his best to not laugh or smile walking in, the only thing in his mind was : 'i'm throwing away my rubbish, i'm throwing away my rubbish'. jungwon wasn't expecting much, only a flinch or something. not much more than that.

jungwon walked into the kitchen, using his peripheral vision to look at sunghoon and sunoo's reaction. sunoo's smile quickly went away once he realised jungwon was in the room. sunghoon saw that and his smile disappeared too. the two stopped talking and quickly went to the living room to join the others. jungwon let out a small chuckle and followed them not long after.

everyone left heeseung's house – 1 hr later
