The atmosphere was thick with anticipation. The members of Enhypen, lounging around in the living room, had grown used to Sunoo’s surprises. But this one felt different. Ever since Sunoo’s recent covers—Beautiful by Crush, Off My Face by Justin Bieber, and the heartfelt Moving Closer from their Philippines concert—his fans had been buzzing about what he would do next. No one had expected him to continue with a song so unexpected, especially after seeing the joy in their fans' faces during those previous covers.
Sunoo had kept them all in the dark. No hints, no clues, just that mischievous smile when asked about it. The members, now accustomed to the thrill of his surprises, were equally as curious and impatient.
“We’ve waited for this for so long, I swear,” Heeseung groaned, flopping dramatically on the couch, his head resting on Jungwon’s lap. “What could it be? A ballad? A pop song?”
“I’m not sure,” Jake said, leaning forward with his fingers interlaced, his usual cool demeanor replaced with a hint of excitement. “But knowing Sunoo, it’s going to be something special. Like always.”
“Should we start placing bets?” Niki teased from the other end of the room, his eyes glinting mischievously. Sunghoon gave him a side glance, his hands hovering over his phone, ready to check the time.
Before anyone could respond, the familiar sound of a live broadcast started, cutting through the room. Sunoo’s voice echoed softly before the beat of the song dropped, leaving the members to freeze in utter silence.
“I told you, you wouldn’t expect this one,” Sunoo’s playful voice broke through the tension, a mischievous grin tugging at the corners of his lips as he stared at the camera.
The screen revealed Sunoo, dressed casually but radiating charm. He held the microphone close as the music began, a confident smile lighting up his face.
“Bad Girls Like You by Tobii?” Jay’s voice was filled with awe. He glanced at Sunghoon, who had widened his eyes in surprise. The entire room was captivated by the unexpected choice.
The familiar mix of smooth electronic beats and Sunoo’s voice filled the room, transforming the entire atmosphere. The members stood in awe as Sunoo effortlessly hit every note, his voice laced with emotion and swagger. It was clear that he had worked hard on this cover. The song wasn’t just a random pick; it was a surprise for his fans, especially the one who had edited Sunoo’s voice through AI, making this moment even more special.
Heeseung’s grin widened, and he turned to the others, nudging Jungwon gently. “Remember when we first heard the AI version of this? They had it right. Sunoo’s voice is a perfect match.”
“It’s insane,” Jungwon agreed, his eyes fixed on Sunoo on the screen. “He’s really pulling this off. I didn’t expect this.”
As the chorus came in, Sunoo’s charisma took over, each note dripping with confidence, but there was something else—something softer beneath the edgy vibe. The layers of his voice perfectly blended with the beat, making it feel as if the cover was made just for him. His fans must have been thrilled, especially the ones who had created the AI rendition that made it all the more poignant.
Sunghoon shook his head, a smile spreading across his face as he whispered to the others. “He’s a tease. He knows exactly how to keep us hooked.”
“He knows exactly how to keep everyone hooked,” Jake added with a chuckle, his eyes shining with pride.
As the song wound down, Sunoo’s smile widened at the camera, clearly satisfied with his performance. He winked playfully and signed off with his signature sign-off, leaving the members in stunned silence.
