Sunoo had always been sunshine personified: warm, bright, and welcoming. But that didn't mean he was immune to shadows. For weeks, he had been hiding his troubles behind his radiant smile, brushing off concerns from his boyfriends. He didn't want to worry them. However, that decision led to today-a day they'd all remember for a long time.
Sunoo finally broke during dinner when Heeseung playfully teased him about being quiet. His tears spilled over as he confessed the bullying he'd been enduring in one of his classes. The entire table went silent, and a storm began to brew in the eyes of six very protective boyfriends.
The calmest among them, but the one everyone knew not to mess with when angered, Heeseung clenched his fists under the table. "Who are they, Sunoo? Names. All of them," he demanded, his voice low but deadly. His usual soft gaze was replaced with a sharp, determined look.
Jay shot up from his seat, pacing the room. "They've been doing this to you?" he asked, his voice rising. "How dare they think they can get away with it?" His protective instincts flared as he grabbed his phone, already looking up their campus security office. "They're going to regret this, Sunoo."
Jake leaned closer to Sunoo, rubbing soothing circles on his back even though his mind was racing with anger. "They must've thought no one would protect you, huh?" he said, his tone dangerously calm. "Let's prove them wrong." He sent a look to Heeseung and Jay, a silent agreement forming between the three.
The second youngest and the leader but scarily calculating, Jungwon sat silently for a moment, processing every word Sunoo said. "This isn't something we could slide," he finally said. "You don't deserve this, Sunoo hyung. Not even for a second." His eyes sharpened as he added, "We need a plan. A solid one."
Sunghoon's usually cool demeanor was replaced with visible anger. He stood up, gripping the edge of the table so hard his knuckles turned white. "They messed with the wrong person," he growled. "You're ours, Sunoo. They're not going to walk away from this like it's nothing."
Niki, who was usually the one cracking jokes, was dead silent. He stared at Sunoo, his heart aching at the sight of his usually cheerful boyfriend looking so broken. "Tell me what you want us to do," he finally said. "We'll do whatever it takes to make this stop. Anything."
That night, a meeting of vengeance was held in the living room of their shared apartment. They didn't just want to confront the bullies-they wanted to make a statement. Each of them brought their own methods to the table:
Heeseung handled the official complaints to the school, drafting a report that left no room for excuses.
Jay and Jake made discreet inquiries around campus, gathering dirt on the bullies to ensure they wouldn't slip through the cracks.
Jungwon coordinated with school authorities, persuading them with his sharp wit and undeniable charm.
Sunghoon and Niki? They were the ones who delivered subtle, unspoken warnings to the bullies, ensuring they knew just how big of a mistake they had made.
The next day, Sunoo was met with whispered apologies and fearful glances from the very people who had tormented him. It wasn't long before word spread around campus: messing with Sunoo meant messing with all of Enhypen. And that was a line no one dared to cross.
As for Sunoo, he felt a warmth in his chest that even the harshest words couldn't diminish anymore. He had six boyfriends who'd go to war for him without hesitation. And that? That was more than enough.
That evening, Sunoo returned to the apartment after his last class. His boyfriends were waiting, their anxious expressions softening into relief the moment they saw him step inside.
