"FLASHBULB OF ROMANCE ♡"

"The new growing interests "

THE NEXT DAY

As the other members of ENHYPEN arrived at the photoshoot location, they immediately noticed Sunghoon's restless demeanor. He was pacing back and forth, checking his watch every few minutes. 
Heeseung, being the ever playful member, decided to tease him. "Looks like someone's excited for the photographer to arrive, huh?" 
The other members chuckled, knowing well that Sunghoon's crush on Hyeri was no secret.

But Sunghoon was in no mood for jokes. He shot Heeseung a glare, trying to hide his eagerness. "Shut up. I'm just waiting for the photoshoot to start." 
Jungwon, never one to pass up an opportunity to jab at his friend, chimed in. "Come on, Sunghoon. We all know you're just here to see Hyeri."

Sunghoon's cheeks reddened slightly, and he tried to deny it. "That's not it. I'm just... interested in her photography skills." 
Jake, who was standing nearby, let out a scoff. "Yeah, right. We've all seen how you look at her. You're crushing hard, bro."

Sunghoon felt his embarrassment grow as the other members started to pile on, all taunting him about his obvious crush on the photographer. 
Sunoo chuckled and added, "Yeah, I don't think it's just her photography skills you're interested in." 
Sunghoon groaned, wishing desperately for the ground to open up and swallow him whole. "You guys are ridiculous."

Heeseung, being the most shameless member, decided to add more fuel to the fire. "You know, Hyeri is older than you, right? You sure you can handle a mature woman like her?" 
Sunghoon's heart dropped at the comment. He hadn't even thought about the age difference between him and Hyeri.

Sunoo, noticing the sudden drop in Sunghoon's face, decided to add one last comment. 
"Don't forget,  Someone like her won't be impressed by a young guy like you." 
The other members snickered, enjoying the reaction they were getting out of Sunghoon.

Sunghoon felt a mix of embarrassment and hurt wash over him. He knew they were just teasing him, but their words hit home and he couldn't shake the feeling of inadequacy compared to Hyeri's potential romantic history. 
He clenched his jaw and tried to act nonchalant. "Whatever. I don't care."

As Hyeri entered the room, she didn't expect what she walked into. The members of ENHYPEN were all huddled together, clearly in the middle of a conversation. 
Suddenly, they all noticed her and immediately quietened down, trying to look casual. Sunghoon, who was standing nearby, felt his heart rate increase as he made eye contact with her. Sunoo hugged her and greeted her and went back to the members. 
He quickly regained his composure and walked up to her, holding out a cup of iced Americano. 
"Hi, noona ," he greeted, his cheeks slightly pink.

Hyeri accepted the drink, slightly taken aback by his sudden appearance and the fact that he had brought her coffee. 
"Oh, thanks, Sunghoonshi," she said, trying to maintain her cool. 
The other members of ENHYPEN watched the interaction with amusement, seeing how nervous Sunghoon was around Hyeri. 
Sunoo, unable to hold back his curiosity, chimed in quietly in a low voice . "Looks like someone's got a crush."

Sunghoon shot Sunoo a glare, silently begging him to shut up. But Sunoo and the other members just laughed, clearly enjoying watching him squirm. 
He turned back to Hyeri, who seemed amused by the entire situation. He cleared his throat, trying to stay focused. 
"I, um... I hope you're doing okay noona ," he said, finally remembering the reason he approached her.

Hyeri looked at Sunghoon for a long moment, trying to hide her embarrassment. She hadn't wanted him to know about her past relationship with Yeonjun. 
She took a deep breath and tried to appear calm.
Sunghoon searched her face, trying to read her expression. He could tell she was uncomfortable discussing her past relationship, especially in front of his members."Yeah I am fine. " she claimed .
