It was a quiet evening at the dorm, the moon hanging high in the sky, casting its gentle light over the group. The members of ENHYPEN had invited Sunoo’s close friends over for a casual get-together. Laughter filled the air as they all sat together, eating snacks and chatting.
However, amidst the fun and camaraderie, there was an underlying tension that none of them could quite shake off. The members of ENHYPEN, for a while now, had shared a secret. They each harbored feelings for Sunoo, not just as a fellow member, but as someone special. It was time to confess.
Heeseung cleared his throat first, his usual calm demeanor shifting to something more vulnerable. His eyes flickered to Sunoo, who was happily talking to one of the guests.
“Guys, there's something I need to say…” Heeseung’s voice was low but firm. The room fell silent, all eyes on him. "I… I don't love Sunoo just as a member. I love him as something more. I've been keeping these feelings to myself, but every time I see him smile, my heart races. It’s not just brotherly love… it’s something deeper."
Sunoo’s eyes widened for a moment, but he was too surprised to react immediately. His friends and the members exchanged nervous glances.
Next, Jay leaned forward, his expression serious yet soft. “I’ve felt the same way for a long time, Heeseung. Sunoo is someone who’s so full of life, and I can’t help but want to be there for him, not just as a fellow member but as someone who wants to be by his side in a different way.”
There was a brief pause, and then Jake spoke, his usual laid-back vibe replaced with sincerity. “I guess I’ve been avoiding saying it because I didn't know how, but yeah… I’ve developed feelings for him, too. More than just as a bandmate. I care for him in a way that’s beyond friendship.”
As each member confessed, Jungwon nodded quietly, his gaze unwavering. “I’ve never been good at expressing myself, but I can’t keep pretending that I don’t feel something for Sunoo. I care about him deeply, in a way that goes beyond what a team member should feel. I think we all do.”
Even Sunghoon, who had always been reserved, couldn’t keep his emotions hidden any longer. “I… I’ve been wanting to say this for a while, too,” he murmured, voice soft. “I don’t think I can look at him and just see a friend anymore. Sunoo means so much more to me.”
And finally, Niki, the youngest, spoke with a maturity beyond his years. “Sunoo is someone I admire a lot. But it’s more than admiration. It’s love. I want him to know that, and I want him to understand how much he means to me.”
The room fell into a heavy silence. Sunoo looked at each of them in shock, his heart racing. His members had just bared their hearts to him, and it felt like the world had stopped turning for a moment.
His members , the people he trusted most, the people he shared his dreams with, were confessing to him. Not as teammates, but as someone they loved in a way that went beyond what he had ever expected.
He blinked, gathering his thoughts, and took a deep breath. “I… I had no idea,” he whispered, a small smile creeping onto his face despite the confusion in his eyes. “I never thought any of you felt that way. But, I need time to think. It’s a lot to process.”
There was a nervous tension in the air, and for a moment, no one dared to speak, fearing that their confession might have pushed Sunoo away. But then, he turned to them, his smile widening just a little.
“I’m glad you all care about me so much," he said, his voice soft. "Let me take some time to understand my own feelings, too. I don’t want to rush anything.”
The members nodded in understanding, each of them knowing that Sunoo’s honesty was just as important as their own confessions.
The evening continued with light-hearted chatter, but this time, there was an unspoken bond that was even stronger than before. Whatever the future held for them, this was a step they had taken together, and that in itself felt like a victory.
