EVERYBODY LOVES SUNOO! 🦊

Sunoo's doting seniors. (Feat TXT)

Sunoo was on his way back from a solo practice, wanting some quiet time to clear his head. He had worked hard all day and thought he'd enjoy the peaceful stroll down the hall. However, fate had other plans.

As he rounded the corner, TXT members were walking his way, chatting and laughing. Before Sunoo could slip past unnoticed, Beomgyu spotted him. "Sunoo!" he called out enthusiastically.

Sunoo, caught off guard, gave a small wave. He didn't mind TXT; in fact, he liked them a lot, maybe even more than he would ever admit. They were fun, easy to talk to, but they made him feel a little out of his element. They always treated him like a kid, cooing and teasing whenever they had the chance. He wasn't exactly nervous around them—it wasn't that—but the way they doted on him made him feel like the center of attention in a way that wasn't entirely comfortable.

Before he could make an excuse and leave, Soobin came up, smiling brightly. "What are you doing all alone? Come on, join us!" His tone left no room for argument, and soon, Sunoo found himself swept up into their group.

"I was actually—"

But Taehyun cut him off, already steering him toward their practice room. "You've been practicing too hard, haven't you? Time for a break."

Within minutes, Sunoo was seated on the couch in TXT's practice room, surrounded by the five members, snacks shoved into his hands. Despite his initial resistance, he took a chip, trying to ease into the situation. It wasn't that he didn't like their company; it was just that they acted like he was some fragile thing, and he wasn't used to that kind of treatment.

"Eat more, Sunoo. You're too thin!" Soobin insisted, pushing more snacks toward him.

"I'm fine, really," Sunoo tried, his voice calm but clearly losing the battle against TXT's doting. Whenever he spoke, they cooed at him like he was the most adorable thing they'd ever seen.

"He's so soft-spoken," Yeonjun grinned, grabbing another bag of snacks to hand over. "I feel like we have to protect him."

Sunoo sighed internally. He appreciated their kindness, but this was getting a little out of hand. He wasn't some delicate flower, and despite their affectionate gestures, he was getting a bit flustered by how much they were babying him.

Before he could make another attempt to escape, the door to the practice room swung open, revealing the ENHYPEN members, all looking equally relieved and amused.

"Finally found you," Jay said with an exaggerated sigh.

Jungwon crossed his arms, trying to look stern but failing to hide the smirk tugging at his lips. "You've been missing for way too long."

"We were just borrowing him," Huening Kai said innocently, though he and Beomgyu were practically shielding Sunoo with their bodies, making it clear they had no intention of letting him go easily.

"Yeah, Sunoo likes being with us, right?" Beomgyu teased, poking at him playfully.

Sunoo, caught between both groups, finally spoke up. "Uh... yeah, but—"

Before he could say more, Ni-ki stepped forward. "Sunoo, we've got schedules. They're not taking 'but' for an answer."

"You guys can have him later," Sunghoon added, his calm tone hiding a small smirk.

Taehyun leaned back in his seat. "Come on, just a few more minutes."

But Heeseung stepped forward, pulling Sunoo up from the couch with ease. "We're taking him now."

TXT members pouted but didn't resist too much as Sunoo was gently but firmly guided out of the room by his members. As they walked down the hall, Sunoo could still hear Beomgyu calling after him, "Don't forget, Sunoo! We still have snacks for you!"

Sunoo chuckled under his breath, finally feeling a bit of relief. Being dragged into TXT's snack sessions was a lot, but he couldn't deny that he enjoyed their attention—just maybe in smaller doses.

"You good?" Jungwon asked, glancing at him.

Sunoo smiled, shaking his head. "Yeah, I'm good. Thanks for the rescue, though."

Jay laughed. "We knew they'd try to keep you. They've been talking about you all week."

Sunoo felt his face heat up but played it off. "Well, maybe next time, I'll bring my own snacks."
