Day 2 of the concert weekend was already buzzing with excitement. Fans swarmed the venue early, eagerly anticipating the performances. Inside, chaos was brewing—but this time, not on stage.
The ENHYPEN members were strolling around backstage and the venue grounds, each carrying plushies from the Sunoo merchandise stall they had raided the previous day. These weren’t just any plushies—each one featured Sunoo’s face and the member’s name embroidered beside it.
Jake clutched a small plush of Sunoo in a sailor outfit with “Sunoo & Jake” stitched on the back. “This is adorable,” he said for the hundredth time, cradling it protectively.
Heeseung wasn’t any better, holding a Heesun plush like a prized possession. “I don’t think I’m ever putting this down,” he announced proudly, much to Sunoo’s embarrassment.
“Why are you all obsessed with my merch today?” Sunoo groaned, though his soft smile betrayed his amusement.
“It’s not just the merch, hyung,” Niki said, twirling a plush of Sunoo and Niki on a keychain. “It’s you. We’re your biggest fans!”
“Speak for yourself,” Jay interjected, resting his Sunjay plush on his shoulder. “I’m just holding this so the fans can see how much better our ship is.”
Jungwon, clutching a Sunwon plush in his arms like a baby, chimed in. “At this point, Sunoo could open his own store, and we’d buy out the inventory.”
Sunghoon, ever the calm one, simply patted the Sunsun plush on his lap. “I think the fans already know that Sunoo’s the favorite,” he said with a teasing smirk.
Sunoo covered his face with his hands, his ears burning. “You guys are impossible!”
Meanwhile, in the venue...
Fans were roaming the grounds when a small group noticed the members near one of the staff tents. It started with a few whispers.
“Wait… is that Sunoo?”
“Oh my god, that’s Sunoo! And… are those Sunoo plushies?!”
Before long, a small crowd formed, their eyes wide as they realized that not only was Sunoo there, but all the members had his merchandise in their hands.
One brave fan called out, “You’re all carrying Sunoo plushies?! That’s so cute!”
Another added, “Sunoo, can we get a closer look at the plushies?!”
Sunoo tried to wave them off modestly. “Ah, it’s nothing special. They’re just—”
“Special,” Heeseung interrupted, holding up his plush for the fans to see. “Look at this! Isn’t it the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?”
The crowd erupted into cheers, their admiration growing by the second. Cameras flashed as fans captured the members proudly showing off their plushies.
“What’s going on here?” Sunoo whispered to Jungwon, who was now taking selfies with fans while holding the plush.
“Congratulations, Sunoo,” Jungwon said with a grin. “You’ve just gained a whole new fanbase.”
Sure enough, the whispers in the crowd had shifted.
“I wasn’t even a Sunoo stan before, but look at him up close—he’s so gorgeous!”
“Same! And the way the members adore him? He’s irresistible!”
Sunoo’s cheeks flushed at the compliments. “This is so overwhelming,” he muttered, trying to hide behind Sunghoon.
Sunghoon chuckled, pulling Sunoo forward instead. “No hiding, Sunoo. This is your moment!”
