JAKEHOON ONESHOTS MOSTLY FLUFF

6)Between teasing and jealousy

It was a bright autumn afternoon, and ENHYPEN had gathered for a relaxed day out after weeks of intense rehearsal for their upcoming album release. They'd managed to find a quiet spot by a lakeside park, complete with picnic tables, gentle waves, and a few scattered fans who respectfully gave them space. It was a perfect setting for a break, and everyone was in high spirits, catching up and joking around as they set up their picnic.

After a few hours of eating, talking, and joking around, Sunoo sat up, stretching his arms. "How about we play some games?" he suggested, his mischievous eyes already scanning the group for potential fun.

Everyone murmured in agreement, and Heeseung quickly came up with the idea of playing "Who's Most Likely To." They were each supposed to make a case for who in the group was most likely to fit certain scenarios, and with all of them in high spirits, the game was bound to be funny.

They all gathered in a circle, eagerly awaiting each new scenario. After a few innocent rounds, Heeseung smirked and announced, "Who's most likely to have a secret crush on someone we know?"

Everyone laughed, and almost instantly, all eyes turned to Jake, who immediately felt his cheeks redden under the group's knowing glances.

"Oh, come on! Not this again!" Jake protested, already feeling a familiar embarrassment creeping in.

Sunghoon, who'd been seated next to Jake, raised an eyebrow with a small smile, acting oblivious. "Jake, do you have something you need to share with the group?" he teased, nudging him playfully. He kept his voice light, but inside, Sunghoon couldn't deny that there was a flicker of annoyance at the way everyone was focused on Jake's "supposed crush."

Jake huffed, crossing his arms. "There's nothing to tell," he insisted. But his reaction only fueled his friends' teasing.

"Sure, sure," Niki chimed in, waggling his eyebrows. "You just turn red every time we talk about it!"

Sunoo leaned forward, narrowing his eyes in a mock-serious way. "Jake, your face says one thing, but your words say another. Should we dig deeper?"

Jake's face flushed further, and Sunghoon found himself frowning slightly. He was happy when Jake got attention, of course, but lately, he'd felt a rising jealousy whenever the group teased him like this. He knew it wasn't exactly rational—Jake was his closest friend, after all—but he couldn't help it. The idea of Jake possibly liking someone else, someone the group might know, twisted his stomach in a way he didn't fully understand.

The conversation continued, with the members tossing around jokes and hints. "Fine, fine!" Jake finally laughed, holding up his hands in surrender. "I'm sure you guys already have an idea anyway, so let's drop it, please?"

Heeseung grinned. "Oh, we know exactly who it is. But we're not saying anything... yet." He leaned back, casting a knowing glance at Sunghoon.

Sunghoon shifted uncomfortably under Heeseung's gaze. He hoped his face didn't betray him, but from the look on Heeseung's face, he had a feeling that his friend knew more than he was letting on.

"Alright, alright, let's move on," Sunghoon said, clearing his throat, eager to change the subject. He suggested they play a different game, one where they'd challenge each other to physical dares.

The first few dares were light-hearted and harmless, but then Niki, ever the instigator, challenged Sunghoon and Jake to a race down the nearby path by the lake. "Whoever loses has to tell us their biggest crush!" Niki shouted, already laughing.

Jake shot Sunghoon a look, knowing he wasn't the fastest runner. "You're setting me up to lose, aren't you?"

Sunghoon shrugged, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Guess you'll have to try extra hard, Jake." The subtle competitiveness between them was on full display as they lined up, their friends cheering as Niki counted them down.
