= gym =

One thing about Lily, she absolutely hates going to the gym. She likes working out to an extent but going to the gym is just too much, in her opinion. She hates the smell of sweats in the gym, especially during the evening but that is exactly when the members usually love to go to the gym and they usually brings Lily along.

She hates it obviously, so she does nothing except for watching them work out. This time, it's Sunghoon who had asked her to accompany him to the gym. She didn't want to go and even tried making lots of excuses just to get out of it but upon being promised on a dinner paid by Sunghoon, she couldn't help but to accept his proposal. She's rich but you can't blame a girl for wanting to save a bit of money, right?

As they arrive at the HYBE's Gym, Lily had already has the thought of leaving but Sunghoon's grip on her wrist is too tight for her to even make a run for it. "Here. Sit here. I should be done in an hour or two. If you ever get bored, you can always join me to work out, princess." He winked at her playfully which gained a disgusted look from Lily. "No, thank you. I will be a good girl and sit here patiently, scrolling through my phone. Now go and work out. And make it quick."

Sunghoon chuckled and ruffled Lily's hair before walking away to start warming up. Lily sighed and went on her phone to play some games. It went really well for the first 15 minutes but she started getting bored afterwards. Why did she even agree with him in the first place? Now that she thinks of it, it isn't even worth it. Sighing once again, she stood up to study all the different equipment the gym has to offer.

It seems scary for some weird reason. For someone who hates going to the gym, this place is surely a nightmare. And because it was evening, the smell of sweats from people that used the gym from before lingers in the gym, hitting her nose hard. "Oh?"

She looked up to see Taehyun and Yeonjun from TXT. "It's been a while, Lily. Are you here alone?" Yeonjun greeted her with a smile. "Yes. It's been a while. And no. I'm here with Sunghoon oppa." Taehyun hums as he too, starts warming up before his workout. Yeonjun chuckled as he could see how bored Lily looked. "I thought you hate going to the gym. Did Sunghoon force you here?"

"Kinda? He bribed me with dinner but I'm kinda regretting it right now. It's not worth it, I think." She watched as the eldest member of TXT made his way to the push up bar thingy and started doing some push up. So, he's strong. Sunghoon could see the way Lily oggles at Yeonjun from afar and at that moment, he just wanted to leave and bring Lily along with him. He didn't take himself to be the jealous type so this is something.

Lily watched attentively as Taehyun began punching the sandbag. There's just something so attractive about it. I mean, could you really blame her though? It's Kang Taehyun we're talking about here. Taehyun could feel Lily literally burning holes into his biceps so he turned to look at her, which had the girl flustered. He laughed heartily at the reaction. "You're so cute, Lily."

"Me? Cute? Nah. I don't think so." She shook her head. "But I'll take that compliment. Thank you." With that, she made her way towards Sunghoon who had a frown on. Her cheeks are slowly turning into a shade of red. He shook his head in disbelief, "I can't believe you're blushing over something like that."

Lily scoffed, "just say that you're jealous no one ever calls you cute and go. I'm cute and so people will see it too and they just need to let me know. Is that so wrong?" Sunghoon placed the dumbbell down and sighed, "I'm starting to think that it's a wrong move to bring you here with me. We're leaving soon."

"Aww. But we just got here~" she whined cutely, trying to tease the jealous man even more. Sunghoon rolled his eyes as he went back to using the dumbbell  to workout. Lily's eyes are trained on how his biceps flexed with every moves he did and she's truly in awe as to how someone could work out so much that their biceps started becoming so huge, in a good way of course.

Sunghoon could feel Lily staring and he can't help but to chuckle. She's so easy to read. "Like what you see, princess?"

Shamelessly, Lily nodded her head. "Can't say I don't. How do you do it, oppa? You make it look so easy. (Stream easy by Lesserafim guys~) And you make it look so good too." Sunghoon shrugged his shoulders, "you kinda get used to it? Everyone had to start somewhere, princess. I wasn't born like this."

Her eyes are stuck on his bicep as she is shamelessly checking him out. This made Sunghoon feels kinda proud to have a nice physique. "Why are you so strong? What is the purpose?"

"To protect the people I love? You, most importantly." Lily awed at Sunghoon's answer and was about to rush to hug him but after seeing how he is glistening with sweats, she just forgo the intention but Sunghoon is not having it. "Come on. You always give Heeseung hyung a hug after his workout. He's just as sweaty as me." He stood up and opened his arms, ready to engulf Lily in a hug but the girl stepped back. "Nuh-uh. It's not the same. He never hugged me when he's drenched in sweat. That would be horrible."

Still, wanting to tease the girl even more, Sunghoon rushed forward and engulfed Lily in a hug when she had her guard down. "Eww! Park Sunghoon! Let me go! You stink!"

"I love you too, princess!"
