Besfriend's Boyfriend | sunsun

Sunoo didn't even know Sunghoon had been listening, that he had stopped his conversation with the rest of the guys to join theirs. The others were still talking about something else, Sunoo too distracted with the way Sunghoon was looking at him to know what. For how long exactly had he been listening?

"Yeah, but..." Dae turned to her boyfriend, pouting as she let the end of that sentence hang in the air, not really having a valid excuse.

"We would really step up our routine if we added a couple more in the last half." Jake argued, his own voice growing sweeter as he looked at Sunoo with expectant eyes.

"My arms are gonna fall off if I have to lift people for any longer." Sunoo laughed, more to himself than anything, he felt incredibly awkward with Sunghoon's eyes still on him.

"Come on, we've all seen your arms, you're like a Greek god." Dae reasoned like it was nothing. To Sunoo it was nothing, a compliment he would usually just playfully roll his eyes at. But Sunghoon... well, his jaw clenched with the words.

"I think you may be exaggerating a little bit." Sunoo continued shyly, having the urge to squirm in his seat with the way Sunghoon's eyes fell to his body.

"Not at all!" She declared. "And you can just work out more if not." She said that even sweeter, eyelashes batting and everything.

"I-"

"Hey, you can come to the gym with us if you want, Sunoo?"

At the new voice, they all turned to the culprit. Apparently the guys had slowly begun to listen as well, leaving Ni-ki to make the generous offer.

"If you wanna work out more, I mean." He looked around at his friends before he added, "We all try and work out together at the gym a few times a week. Maybe you could join us sometime? Jake, you wanna come too?"

"Absolutely not." Jake laughed before Sunoo could even register what was happening. "I already work out too much, there is no way I'm moving more than I have to."

That made Ni-ki laugh, Dae and the others joining in as well. Heeseung grumbled out his own complaint, suggesting that Jake should go just so they can talk and leave the others to sweat.

"Now that I am not opposed to." Jake smiled, pointing at the older, leaving the others to chuckle at them both.

"So, what do you say, Sunoo?" Ni-ki asked again, Sunoo still entirely frozen in place.

"Umm-"

"He's probably busy." Sunghoon interrupted, shrugging like it was obvious.

"How would you know that?" Dae challenged, playfully raising an eyebrow and leaning closer to him.

Sunghoon lifted his hand, fingers beneath her chin and stilling her movements. He smiled as well as he replied, "I'm just assuming you overwork your teammates."

The girl tried to look offended as she hit Sunghoon's arm, but her smile gave her away as they both laughed, bodies so close together. Sunghoon had stars in his eyes as he looked at her. Sunoo had never seen his eyes like that.

Sunghoon never looked at him like that.

"I'll do it." Sunoo said before his mind even made a decision. Suddenly he was looking at Ni-ki, nodding and repeating, "I'll come."

"Great! How about Monday?"

"I-"

"He's busy on Mondays."
