Sunoo had always been the center of attention wherever ENHYPEN went. Whether it was the way fans adored his angelic visuals or how his bubbly personality made even the gloomiest days brighter, it seemed like the entire world was head over heels for him—and Heeseung was no exception.
But lately, something about it was getting under Heeseung’s skin.
It started innocently enough during their free day at the dorm. Sunoo was perched on the couch, giggling as Jungwon and Jake flanked him, begging for attention. Jungwon was trying to impress him with his aegyo, while Jake playfully draped an arm around Sunoo, whispering jokes that made Sunoo laugh so hard he leaned into Jake’s shoulder.
Heeseung, sitting on the other end of the couch, clenched his jaw.
“Sunoo, can you stop being so cute? You're killing me,” Jake teased, earning a soft shove from Sunoo.
“Jake-hyung, stop it!” Sunoo whined, though his laughter betrayed any seriousness in his words.
Heeseung exhaled sharply, the faintest pout tugging at his lips. His eyes darted to Jungwon, who had pulled out his phone and was snapping selfies with Sunoo.
“Yah, Jungwon,” Heeseung said, his tone sharper than intended. “Don’t hog him.”
Jungwon blinked innocently. “What? We’re just taking pictures, hyung.”
“Yeah, hyung. What’s the problem?” Jake added with a teasing smirk.
Heeseung waved it off, his ears turning red. “Nothing. Just… don’t break his personal space.”
Sunoo tilted his head, confused but amused. “What’s wrong, Heeseung-hyung? You’ve been acting weird.”
Before Heeseung could respond, the dorm door flew open, and in came Ni-ki and Sunghoon, each holding snacks.
“Sunoo-hyung!” Ni-ki called, grinning ear to ear. He dropped onto the floor next to Sunoo, offering him a drink. Sunghoon followed suit, plopping onto the armrest with a hand ruffling Sunoo’s hair.
Heeseung’s patience was thinning. His jaw tightened even further as he watched the scene unfold. Sunoo was surrounded, glowing under the attention of everyone.
Then there were the fans.
During their next live broadcast, Sunoo read a comment aloud: “Sunoo, marry me!”
Heeseung, seated beside him, snorted audibly.
Sunoo blinked at him. “What’s so funny, hyung?”
“Nothing,” Heeseung replied, his voice almost curt. But anyone watching could see how his hand tightened into a fist on his lap.
As the live continued, fans spammed the chat with declarations of love for Sunoo, and the members joined in, each one pretending to be a Sunoo fanboy.
“He’s the visual of ENHYPEN!” Jake proclaimed dramatically.
“Sunoo’s my bias!” Ni-ki added with a playful grin.
Heeseung’s mood hit its limit when Jungwon casually wrapped an arm around Sunoo during a group selfie moment on the live. He cleared his throat loudly.
“Jungwon,” Heeseung said, his smile strained. “Why don’t you sit on the other side?”
The younger members exchanged glances, hiding their smirks. They weren’t stupid—they could see Heeseung’s jealousy plain as day.
“Heeseung-hyung,” Sunoo finally said after the broadcast ended, pulling him aside. “You’ve been acting strange. Are you mad at me or something?”
