Sunoo was sitting comfortably on a park bench, swinging his legs and humming a tune, a soft smile on his lips. The gentle winter breeze made his cheeks rosy, and his oversized scarf made him look even more like the precious bean everyone adored.
Nearby, his six lovers— Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Jungwon, and Niki — watched him closely, their eyes narrowing at every stranger who even glanced in his direction. They knew all too well how innocent their precious Sunoo could be, especially when it came to his love for sweet treats.
"Hyung, why did we let him sit alone again?" Jungwon whispered anxiously, his gaze flickering between Sunoo and the people passing by.
"Because he begged us," Jay muttered, his arms crossed. "And we can't say no to that face."
"But what if—" Jake’s voice was cut off as a stranger approached Sunoo, holding a small cone of mint chocolate ice cream.
The lovers tensed.
"Hey there, cutie. You look cold. Want some ice cream?" the stranger offered with a friendly smile.
Sunoo’s eyes lit up like a child on Christmas morning. "Mint chocolate?! My favorite!" He reached out, completely oblivious to the stranger’s intentions.
"Sunoo!" Heeseung's voice boomed as he sprinted toward the bench, followed by the rest of the group. The stranger froze, eyes wide, as six imposing figures surrounded them.
"Touch our lover, and you'll regret it," Sunghoon said coldly, his tone like ice.
"We’re not letting you get away with this," Niki added, cracking his knuckles for emphasis.
The stranger stammered an apology, dropping the ice cream and bolting, clearly terrified.
Sunoo blinked up at his husbands, confused. "What just happened? They were being nice!"
Jake crouched in front of him, cupping Sunoo’s cheeks gently. "Baby, you can’t just accept things from strangers. What if they’re trying to hurt you?"
"But it was mint chocolate ice cream…" Sunoo pouted, his eyes glistening with unshed tears.
Jungwon sighed, his resolve weakening. "Hyung, we’ll buy you all the mint chocolate ice cream you want, okay? Just promise us you’ll never go with strangers."
"Really?" Sunoo’s face brightened instantly.
"Promise us first," Heeseung insisted, kneeling to hold Sunoo’s hands.
Sunoo nodded enthusiastically. "I promise!"
The husbands all exchanged relieved glances, though they knew they’d have to keep an extra close watch on their innocent little lover.
The fans weren’t exaggerating when they said Sunoo’s innocence could be dangerous. But to his six protective husbands, it was also what made him their adorable little bean.
Later that evening, Sunoo was happily devouring a mountain of mint chocolate ice cream at home, blissfully unaware of how much effort it had taken to secure his safety — and his favorite treat.
As Sunoo enjoyed his towering bowl of mint chocolate ice cream, the living room was filled with the soft hum of conversation. The six boyfriends sat scattered around, still visibly tense from the earlier incident at the park.
"Seriously, how can he be so pure?" Jay muttered under his breath, leaning against the armrest of the couch. "He doesn’t even question people’s intentions!"
"That’s exactly why we have to protect him," Jungwon said, his brows furrowed. "If we weren’t there today…"
Jake groaned, running a hand through his hair. "We can’t keep having mini heart attacks every time he’s out of our sight."
