Different stories for different chapters! The aim of this book is to show Enhypen's bond whether in fiction or in reality! (*psst! Sunoo is the main focus to show ppl his members adore him!) Some other groups may make an appearance!
The interview had started off perfectly. The seven ENHYPEN members sat comfortably in their chairs, the bright studio lights casting a warm glow over their faces. The energy was relaxed, a playful banter flowing between them as they answered lighthearted questions about their recent comeback, their music, and what fans could look forward to. Sunghoon and Jake joked about their recent dance practice mishaps, and Ni-ki chimed in with his usual dry humor, causing a ripple of laughter among the group.
Sunoo, sitting on the edge of the couch, smiled softly, his eyes shining with their characteristic warmth as he listened to his members speak. He was used to this—talking about their music, their journey, their bond as a group. It was always about the work, about their shared experience.
But then, something shifted.
The interviewer, who had been all smiles and gentle humor, suddenly leaned forward, their voice dropping to a more personal tone. "So, Sunoo," they began, their eyes glinting with curiosity, "fans have been speculating about your sexuality for quite some time now. Do you care to comment on that?"
The room fell silent, the playful atmosphere evaporating in an instant. The other members stiffened, subtle shifts in their posture signaling their discomfort. Sunoo blinked, caught off guard, though his expression remained composed.
He took a breath, lifting his chin slightly as he met the interviewer's gaze. "I appreciate that people are interested in my personal life," Sunoo said, his voice steady but firm, "but my sexuality is a private matter and has nothing to do with my career. I'd rather people focus on the music and what we bring to the stage than my personal life."
There was a brief pause, as though the interviewer was weighing Sunoo's response, deciding whether to back off or press further. The tension in the room was palpable now, every member of ENHYPEN subtly on edge.
But the interviewer wasn't ready to let it go. "I understand that," they said, though their tone suggested otherwise, "but with so many fans curious, don't you think they deserve some transparency? It could clear up a lot of speculation."
Sunoo's smile faltered, the discomfort now clear in his eyes. He shifted slightly in his seat, his fingers tightening around the armrest. Heeseung, who had been quiet up until now, leaned forward, his brows knitting together in concern.
"Look," Heeseung began, his voice calm but with a sharp edge, "Sunoo already answered your question. His personal life is his business, and it doesn't affect his work or who he is as an artist. We're here to talk about our music, not to entertain invasive questions."
The interviewer's smile wavered, but they didn't back down. "But the fans—"
"—have no right to know about something that's personal," Jay cut in, his tone more direct than Heeseung's. His gaze locked on the interviewer, unwavering. "Everyone's entitled to their privacy. Just because we're public figures doesn't mean we owe anyone answers about our personal lives."
The tension in the room was building, and Sunoo was visibly uncomfortable now, his shoulders drawn in as if he was trying to make himself smaller. Ni-ki, who had been watching quietly, crossed his arms and leaned forward.
"Why does it even matter?" Ni-ki's voice was quiet, but there was an underlying challenge in it. "His sexuality has nothing to do with the work we're doing. It's not your business, and it's definitely not something that needs to be asked on air."
Sunghoon, always protective of his members, shifted closer to Sunoo, his voice firm. "You're crossing a line. We came here to talk about our music, not to be put in uncomfortable positions for views."
By now, the interviewer looked visibly flustered, but desperation was creeping into their voice. "I just think people would appreciate knowing more about who you really are."
Sunoo, feeling the eyes of both the interviewer and the cameras on him, exhaled shakily. He didn't want to make a scene, but the pressure was weighing on him. His lips parted to speak, but before he could, Jungwon stepped in, his voice surprisingly calm but resolute for someone so young.
"What Sunoo is really about," Jungwon said, "is his dedication to his craft, his love for our fans, and his work as a performer. That's what people should care about. Not prying into something that he's clearly said is private."
Jake, who had been holding back, couldn't stay quiet any longer. His usually lighthearted expression had darkened, his voice firm. "You're making this uncomfortable for all of us, and it's not fair to Sunoo. This interview was supposed to be about our work, not about forcing someone to answer personal questions. This needs to stop."
The interviewer, visibly rattled by the unified front the boys had formed, sat back in their chair, clearly unsure how to proceed. The tension in the room was thick, and the silence that followed was deafening.
The broadcast soon wrapped up, awkward and rushed, the interviewer now struggling to regain the initial lighthearted tone. But the damage had already been done. The moment the cameras stopped rolling, the ENHYPEN members huddled protectively around Sunoo, who gave them a small, grateful smile despite still looking visibly shaken.
The fallout came fast. Clips of the uncomfortable exchange spread across social media, with fans and the general public alike calling out both the interviewer and the broadcasting company for their invasive and inappropriate questions. Hashtags like #RespectSunoo and #ProtectENHYPEN trended worldwide within hours, with people condemning the interviewer's persistence and praising the members for standing up for one another.
The broadcasting company issued a public apology, but it was too late. The incident became a hot topic of discussion, with many fans expressing their disappointment that such a well-known platform had allowed such an invasive question to air. The focus, however, remained on how gracefully Sunoo had handled the situation and how fiercely the other members had come to his defense.
As the backlash against the interviewer continued to grow, ENHYPEN stood strong, their bond even more evident. They had always been a family, but now, the world had seen just how far they'd go to protect one another.
