The ENHYPEN dorm was unusually quiet, except for the soft hum of music coming from the living room. The members of Enhypen stood in a circle, exchanging uncertain glances. They were gathered for a reason that had weighed heavily on their hearts in recent days.
Sunoo, their dear Sunoo, was out today—hanging out with Lisa from Blackpink. The warmth of the sun shining down on his bright smile was enough to make all of them think about one thing: their feelings for him. Each member had been carrying an emotion they didn’t quite understand. They could feel it, but weren’t sure how to express it or what it meant.
Heeseung, as the eldest of their group, took a deep breath, breaking the silence. "I’m not sure how to say this, but I think I’m falling for Sunoo. I just don’t know what to do about it." He fiddled with his fingers, avoiding eye contact.
Jay nodded, rubbing the back of his neck. "I feel the same way. Ever since that one time we all hung out together, I’ve been thinking about him more and more. It’s like a pull I can’t ignore, but I don’t want to ruin our friendship."
Jake, ever the calm one, stepped forward. "I’ve been struggling with this too. Sunoo’s energy, his smile... it's like he has this light that draws me in. But I don’t know if he feels the same way."
Sunghoon leaned against the doorframe, looking thoughtful. "He’s always been someone I can confide in, but lately... it feels different. More intense. I don’t want to complicate things, but I can’t help it."
Jungwon sighed, rubbing his forehead. "What if he doesn't feel the same way? I can’t risk losing him, but at the same time, I don’t want to hide this forever. I want to be honest with him."
Niki, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke up. "We all know Sunoo is special. But what if he’s not ready for all of this? What if he doesn’t want us to feel this way?"
The tension in the room grew thick, and the silence that followed felt heavy. Just then, the door creaked open, and their manager stepped in. "Are you guys ready for the advice you asked for?" she said with a smile. "It’s a good thing Sunoo’s out today with Lisa, or this could have been awkward."
"Advice?" Jungwon repeated, raising an eyebrow.
Their manager nodded. "Yes. I know a few things about love and relationships, and I think it’s time you all figure out how to approach Sunoo with honesty."
Heeseung looked hopeful. "You think we can figure this out?"
She smiled softly. "The first step is always communication. You need to be open with Sunoo about how you feel. It’s important to let him know without pressure or fear. If he cares for you, he’ll understand. If not, you’ll have clarity. But trust me, it’s always better to know than to wonder."
The group fell silent, considering the manager’s words. The weight of their unspoken feelings seemed lighter now, but the uncertainty remained.
"We’ll have to be patient," Sunghoon said after a long pause. "But we can’t keep hiding this. We owe it to ourselves—and to Sunoo—to be honest."
Jay nodded, a small smile tugging at his lips. "Then let’s do this. Together."
The members shared a look of resolve. They didn’t know what the future held, but one thing was certain—they would no longer keep their feelings hidden. When Sunoo returned, they would tell him. Whatever happened after that, they would face it together.
But for now, they would wait, knowing that patience and honesty would be their guiding lights.
The evening rolled around, and the members of Enhypen found themselves gathered in the living room once more. They had spent the day reflecting on the advice they'd received, and now they were preparing for the moment that could change everything.
