As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange hue over the city's skyline, the members of SEVENTEEN gathered around in the dance practice room, taking a much-needed break after a grueling practice session. Jeonghan's laughter echoed through the room, his infectious energy spreading amongst the other members. And yet, for some reason, Seungcheol found himself unable to join in the laughter. Maybe it was because of the exhaustion from practice, or perhaps something else entirely, but either way.As the members exchanged playful banter and light-hearted conversations, Seungcheol found himself stealing glances at Jeonghan. His cheeks flushed slightly as he noticed how Jeonghan's eyes would crinkle adorably when he smiled. The way he tossed his hair back in between laughter, the way he would casually brush his arm against SEUNGCHEOL's as they sat side by side on the floor, it all felt so… different somehow.SEUNGCHEOL had always known Jeonghan as his fellow bandmate, his partner in crime on stage. They had performed countless shows together, and he had never felt anything more than a strong camaraderie between them. But now, suddenly, something felt amiss. His heart raced inexplicably whenever Jeonghan was near, and his mind raced with thoughts he had never entertained before. Perhaps it was the fatigue, but.As the members began to pack up their belongings for the night, SEUNGCHEOL found himself lagging behind. He couldn't shake the uneasy feeling that had settled in his chest ever since he had started to feel this strange attraction towards Jeonghan. Was it merely exhaustion from the demanding schedule… or something more profound?
Jeonghan, noticing SEUNGCHEOL's quiet demeanor, walked over to him, his lips curved into a warm smile."Hey, you okay there? You look a bit distracted." he asked, his voice tinged with concern.
SEUNGCHEOL forced a smile, masking his inner turmoil. "I'm fine, just exhausted, that's all."
Jeonghan chuckled "You and me both. Let's head back and get some rest, yeah?"
SEUNGCHEOL nodded, his heart beating a little faster at Jeonghan's touch. As they walked out of the practice room together, SEUNGCHEOL couldn't help but question.What was the unfamiliar feeling stirring within him? Was it simply exhaustion or something much deeper?
As he silently observed Jeonghan walking ahead, his mind raced with thoughts and feelings he struggled to comprehend. A myriad of emotions swirled within him - fascination, confusion, and a growing affection he couldn't quite put a name to.
