The live broadcast had started like any other. Sunoo and Jay sat side by side, sharing a blanket as they read comments. Sunghoon and Heeseung were jokingly bickering in the background, while Jungwon focu
sed on promoting their upcoming schedules.
Then there was Jake. Sitting at the edge of the frame, chin propped on his hands, staring at Sunoo like he was the sun, the moon, and the stars all wrapped into one.
Fans in the chat were quick to notice:
“Is Jake okay? Why does he look like that?”
“Sunoo must’ve cast a love spell on him.”
“I’m starting to think Sunoo is everyone’s bias.”
The members noticed Jake’s lovesick expression too, but they brushed it off as Jake just being Jake—until he opened his mouth.
“Well, yeah… Sunoo’s my boyfriend too,” Jake said dreamily, cutting through the conversation like a knife through butter.
The entire room froze.
Jay’s jaw dropped as he stared at Jake. “Excuse me, what?”
Sunoo turned bright red, burying his face in his hands. Sunghoon let out a loud laugh, while Heeseung muttered, “Oh no, here we go.” Jungwon, ever the leader, attempted to intervene, but Jake was on a roll.
“He’s not just Jay’s boyfriend, you know,” Jake continued, smiling obliviously. “Sunoo loves all of us equally. Right, Sunoo?”
Before Sunoo could respond, Jungwon sprang into action. “Ah, Jake’s just being silly! You know how he is.” He reached over to end the broadcast, but not before the chat exploded.
Within minutes, the internet was ablaze.
“Wait… what did Jake just say?!”
“Did Jake accidentally confirm the Sunharem??”
“So Sunoo isn’t just Jay’s boyfriend… HE’S EVERYONE’S???”
Fan theories ran wild. Compilation videos of Sunoo being adorable with each member began flooding timelines. Edits of Jake’s lovesick gaze at Sunoo were everywhere.
One fan tweeted: “Jake really said, ‘If I go down, we all go down.’”
Another added: “Forget SunJay, it’s Sunoo × EVERYONE from now on.”
Even HYBE’s official account couldn’t escape the chaos. They issued a statement claiming Jake’s comment was “a lighthearted joke,” but fans weren’t buying it.
“A joke? Jake’s eyes say otherwise.”
“That wasn’t a joke, that was a confession.”
Back in the practice room, Jake sat sheepishly while the rest of the members surrounded him.
“Jake, what were you thinking?!” Sunghoon groaned, pacing back and forth.
“I wasn’t,” Jake admitted, looking at Sunoo with a shy grin. “I just… couldn’t help it. Sunoo’s so lovable, I had to say it.”
Sunoo, still flustered, hid behind Jay. “You just told the entire world that I’m everyone’s boyfriend!”
“Well, you are,” Jake replied matter-of-factly, earning groans from the group.
Jay rolled his eyes but couldn’t hide his smirk. “As much as I hate to admit it, Jake’s not wrong.”
Heeseung patted Sunoo’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. We’ll protect you from the chaos.”
“I think the damage is already done,” Jungwon muttered, scrolling through his phone. “The hashtag #Sunharem is trending.”
Despite the initial panic, the members rallied around Sunoo, ensuring he didn’t feel overwhelmed.
