Sunoo adjusted his hoodie as he stood at the dorm's entrance, shifting on his feet while waiting for the door to open. Behind him, his alpha twin brother, William, towered in quiet confidence, exuding a natural charisma that seemed to draw attention effortlessly.
"Why do I feel like I'm about to walk into a trap?" William teased, leaning closer to his twin.
Sunoo giggled, nudging him playfully. "Relax. The guys are excited to meet you, especially Jay."
At the mention of Jay, William raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Oh? Is he special?"
Sunoo gave him a mysterious grin but said nothing as the door swung open.
"Sunoo!" came the chorus of voices as his members greeted him warmly. Each member stepped forward to greet him, their smiles growing wider when their eyes landed on William.
"Wow, you're William? You really do look like Sunoo," Jake said, eyes flitting between the twins.
" You really do look like Sunoo but buff and cold" Heeseung added with a smirk
"Only taller," Niki added with a sly grin, earning a light smack from Sunoo.
Jay lingered near the back, his usual confidence seeming to falter. His eyes were glued to William, his cheeks faintly red as if he couldn’t believe the person he had heard so much about was standing before him.
"Jay, aren't you going to say hi?" Jungwon teased, nudging the older boy forward.
Jay cleared his throat, trying to regain composure. "Uh, hi, William. It's nice to finally meet you."
William’s smirk softened into a kind smile. "Likewise, Jay. Sunoo’s told me a lot about you."
At that, Jay’s blush deepened, and the others snickered behind their hands.
As the evening unfolded, the group settled into the living room, chatting and laughing as Sunoo sat at the center of attention. William, on the other hand, had comfortably taken a seat beside Jay, their conversation flowing with surprising ease.
Meanwhile, the rest of the members exchanged knowing glances. One by one, they excused themselves until only Sunoo remained on the couch. The group huddled in the hallway, each trying to outdo the other in hushed tones.
"I’m just going to say it," Heeseung announced. "I like Sunoo."
Jake rolled his eyes. "We all like Sunoo. That’s the problem!"
"But we’re not going to let this get weird, right?" Jungwon reasoned, though his tone wavered slightly.
"Speak for yourself," Sunghoon muttered, crossing his arms. "I’m not losing to anyone."
Niki sighed dramatically. "You guys are embarrassing. Just confess already."
Their argument was interrupted by Sunoo poking his head around the corner. "What are you all whispering about?"
Caught off guard, Heeseung took the plunge. "We were talking about… you."
Sunoo tilted his head curiously. "Me?"
Jungwon stepped forward nervously. "Sunoo, I—"
"No, we," Jake corrected, stepping in. "We like you. A lot."
Sunoo blinked, stunned as the confessions tumbled out in a chaotic flurry.
"I like you too," Sunghoon declared, his tone resolute.
"You’re my favorite person, Sunoo," Heeseung added softly.
"You’re adorable, and I can't help it," Niki admitted, rubbing the back of his neck.
