Enhypen when... (one shots)

☠︎ Sunghoon ☠︎

"So, is it like an escape room?" Sunghoon asked.

"It depends on what you mean. Technically, no it's not, but it can be" you answered cheekily.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You don't need to solve things to escape, you just need to survive."

Sunghoon's eyes widened at your statement. You said it so casually, but it was a very concerning sentence. Sometimes he wondered if you were mentally okay.

"Survive?"

"Yeah, survive to escape."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me."

"I really hope it's not like that horror escape room you made me do last time. I think I almost died."

"First of all, I did not make you do anything. Don't be dramatic."

"It's not an exaggeration. I saw my life flash before my very own eyes."

"But you also didn't die. That's what's important."

"The point is- wait. Are you wanting me to die of a heart attack?"

You shrugged jokingly.

"What would you even do without my pretty face around?"

"Yeah, okay pretty boy, no more questions let's just hurry up and get there before I die waiting."

"Beauty takes time."

You rolled your eyes in response to his pettiness.

"You wouldn't know" he added on quietly.

Your jaw dropped and you actually looked slightly hurt by that. Sunghoon immediately felt guilty and pulled you into a hug.

"I'm just messing with you. But seriously, if I die tonight, you're responsible."

After Sunghoon had finished up getting ready, you took a taxi to the entertainment strip not too far away from where you lived. It was the best place to go for fun events, especially as they had new things to do with each passing season.

"There it is" you pointed to a very tall, mysterious looking building. Many people were gathered around it waiting for their turn. Sunghoon felt himself gulp a little. As petty as he could be, and although he didn't look like it, he was very easily scared by things. He was one to constantly be on edge.

You left the taxi, a chill finding its way down Sunghoon's spine. He wasn't sure if it was the vibe or the temperature at this point. He instantly knew this was worse than the escape room by the very first glimpse at it. You really were trying to kill him, he thought to himself.

Both of you waited in line for about twenty minutes and during that time Sunghoon's nerves were working themselves up. You noticed and patted his head in reassurance.

"It's going to be okay Hoon." You smiled, and he smiled a little back at you. He held out his hand, implying he wanted to hold yours before you went in. You stuck to each other like glue.

You looked around the place eagerly. Sunghoon, not so much. He trotted a little behind you, still holding your hand. He was very cautious and aware. Eyes sprinting everywhere to be prepared and on the lookout.

The first couple scares were light and Sunghoon had squeezed your hand and yelled a lot, but he was also laughing. He was enjoying it really.

However, one specific scare pushed him over the line a bit. He sprinted at full speed away, screaming, completely leaving you behind. You watched absolutely baffled.

"NAHHHHHHHHHHH" his voice trailed off.

"SUNGHOON WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" you yelled after him.

He was gone-gone. You could still hear him screaming distantly. At least he was alive.

You laughed and shook it off, carrying on exploring by yourself.

The scares here were surprisingly really good. You were genuinely terrified by the next few jump scares, screaming like a little girl. You didn't hate it though. It was a fun adrenaline rush, and you were definitely an adrenaline junkie. You loved this stuff.

Sunghoon finally appeared again, sprinting back towards you. You flinched at first, mistaking him for a haunted house member for a slight moment. The way he ran at you with his arms swinging was terrifying enough.

"IM SORRY, IM SORRY" he yelled in panic, grabbing the life out of your wrist and dragging you like a big dog on a leash, getting way ahead of its owner almost tripping them up.

"HUH? SLOW DOWN!" you yelled back, focusing on not falling flat on your face trying to keep up with his pace.

"IM SORRY I LEFT YOU BEHIND,"

He tried to catch his breath as he continued running.

"BUT I CAME BACK FOR YOU."

You smiled and felt yourself even slightly blush at his panic.

Even though Sunghoon had ran off in fear and completely abandoned you to be scared on your own for a little while, he eventually came back through the house to collect you- despite being terrified to the core.

When you finally got out, Sunghoon started laughing, which wasn't what you were originally expecting if you were being honest. You thought you were pretty much going to be scolded and nagged at for the next few months.

"We made it" he said through a breathless laugh, patting your head just like you had patted his earlier.

You giggled with a big smile; Sunghoon returned the smile.

"Yes, we did."
