It was another typical day at the Enhypen dorm, with everyone scattered around, doing their usual activities. Jay was on the couch, scrolling through his phone, while Heeseung and Sunghoon were having a competitive game of chess on the floor. Niki and Sunghoon were busy with their own things, and Jungwon had just gotten back from a schedule.
The front door creaked open, and in walked Sunoo, sweat glistening on his forehead, his gym bag slung over his shoulder. The second he stepped in, the atmosphere shifted. A quiet stillness followed, then an unmistakable tension filled the room.
The boys had noticed the change in Sunoo after he had been spending more time at the gym. His muscles, especially around his shoulders and arms, had become more defined. His shoulders were broader, his biceps more pronounced, and it didn't go unnoticed.
It started with little touches here and there—when they all sat around the living room, or when they passed by him in the hallway. They'd find an excuse to gently tap, brush against, or simply rest their hand on his shoulder. But now, it was more than that.
Sunghoon was the first to greet him, casually slinging an arm over his broad shoulders as Sunoo walked in. “Hey, Sunoo, good workout?” he asked, his hand lingering a little longer than necessary.
"Yeah, it was intense today," Sunoo replied, adjusting the strap of his gym bag, clearly unaware of the shift happening around him.
Niki, who had been lounging on the couch, sat up and stared at Sunoo's shoulders, then smirked. "Hey, you mind if I see those muscles? You've been working hard, huh?"
Sunoo laughed, a little embarrassed. "You're not going to touch them, are you?"
"I might," Niki teased, stepping closer and poking Sunoo's arm. "I don't know how you keep getting stronger, but you’re like a wall now."
Sunoo could barely react before Heeseung, who was now leaning in from the kitchen, joined the conversation. "No kidding," he said, walking over with a grin. "Sunghoon's right—your shoulders are getting broader, man. You've been holding out on us."
Without hesitation, Heeseung reached over and rested his hand on Sunoo’s shoulder, giving it a firm squeeze.
"Guys," Sunoo groaned, his face turning pink, but his words were drowned out by the attention he was receiving. The next thing he knew, Jay was there, too, and everyone had found an excuse to give his muscles a little admiration.
“Maybe I should start hitting the gym with you, Sunoo,” Jay said, placing both hands on his shoulders and giving them a gentle rub. “These things are getting out of hand.”
Sunoo was caught off guard by the overwhelming attention, his face now flushing redder than his usual embarrassment could handle. "This is getting ridiculous," he muttered, but a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He couldn't deny that he enjoyed the attention, despite the teasing.
Jungwon came out of his room, catching the scene with a raised brow. “What’s going on here?” he asked, his eyes flicking to the circle of members surrounding Sunoo.
Sunghoon laughed, not hiding the mischief in his voice. “Oh, we’re just admiring Sunoo’s newfound muscles. You should join in.”
Without missing a beat, Jungwon stepped forward, reaching over to feel Sunoo’s shoulder. “Wow, I wasn’t expecting that. You really are getting bigger.”
“See?” Sunghoon said, grinning. “We weren’t exaggerating.”
Sunoo felt like he was drowning in the attention, each member trying to sneak in their own moment with him. "I... I don't know what to say," he managed to get out, trying to shrug off their touch.
