It was the day of the big award ceremony, and ENHYPEN had just finished their performance. The stage lights were still bright in their minds, and the music was still ringing in their ears. But amidst the chaos of the backstage area, something went wrong.
Sunoo, the bright, cheerful sunshine of ENHYPEN, had wandered off to look for something. Or someone. But before anyone knew it, he had gotten lost in the massive venue, and panic set in.
"Sunoo? Sunoo?" Jay called out, his voice tense. His eyes frantically scanned the room, his heartbeat quickening as he searched the crowd.
"He’s always so carefree," Heeseung said, his expression tight with worry. "I told him to stay close!"
The panic only deepened when Jungwon joined the search. "This isn’t funny anymore!" he said, his voice uncharacteristically sharp. "Where could he have gone?"
Jake, who’d always been the more laid-back one, had an intense look on his face as he checked every corner. "We need to find him, now."
Sunghoon was pacing back and forth, his usually cool demeanor slipping as his worry for Sunoo grew. "I’ll check the dressing rooms. Niki, you go that way. We’ll find him."
Meanwhile, unknown to the rest of the group, Sunoo wasn’t far at all. In fact, he had been completely oblivious to the worry he had caused. He had simply wandered into a quieter part of the venue, hoping to grab some fresh air.
That was when he ran into someone he didn’t expect.
"Ah, you look lost too," a voice called out from behind him. Sunoo turned around, his eyes brightening when he saw none other than the ever-gracious Seventeen hyungs standing there—S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, and Woozi.
"We’re just taking a break from the chaos. Are you alright?" S.Coups asked, his voice gentle but authoritative.
"Yeah!" Sunoo said with his trademark smile. "I just wanted some air, but I think I got a bit lost."
Jeonghan smiled knowingly. "It’s easy to get lost in here, especially with all the people. Come sit with us until your members come looking for you."
The Seventeen members were always warm and welcoming, so it wasn’t long before Sunoo was comfortably nestled in a corner, sipping on some water, and listening to their calming chatter.
Woozi chuckled as he patted Sunoo’s head affectionately. "You look like you need a little rest, sunshine."
Sunoo beamed at the compliment. "I’m fine! I just needed a quick break."
Joshua laughed softly, ruffling his hair. "You're too cute. You’re lucky we found you. If not, we’d have had to send out a search party for you."
But as soon as ENHYPEN’s frantic search continued, it didn’t take long before they found Sunoo—sitting comfortably between the Seventeen members, chatting like he was part of their family.
"Sunoo!" Jay practically yelled, rushing over with Heeseung and the rest of the group following closely behind.
Sunoo looked up, surprised, but his expression softened when he saw his members. "Oh! You guys found me!"
But as soon as they noticed the scene—Sunoo being doted on like a little brother by the Seventeen hyungs—things quickly took a hilarious turn.
"What is going on here?" Sunghoon asked, eyes wide, his voice betraying a mix of confusion and disbelief.
"Sunoo, were you... being babied?" Jungwon asked, his eyebrow raised in mock suspicion.
The Seventeen members, seeing the confused expressions of ENHYPEN, couldn’t help but laugh. "We were just making sure he was alright," Jeonghan explained, his voice filled with playful teasing. "He was lost, and we just wanted to keep him company."
