The clock ticked closer to midnight on December 31, and the world was abuzz with anticipation—not just for the new year, but for the special surprise promised by Sunoo. For weeks, Sunoo had teased his fans and husbands alike, dropping subtle hints about his new project. They all knew it was a cover of Everytime from Descendants of the Sun, but the exact details were kept under wraps.
His six husbands—Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Jungwon, and Niki—weren’t used to being left in the dark when it came to their sunshine, and the wait was slowly driving them mad.
December 31, 11:50 PM
The Enhypen family home was warm and lively, filled with the aroma of freshly baked cookies and the faint hum of a countdown program playing on TV. The husbands had gathered in the living room, each of them impatiently glancing at the clock.
Sunoo sat curled up on the couch, sipping hot chocolate, his eyes twinkling with amusement as he watched them try to guess what the surprise could be.
"Just a tiny spoiler?" Jake pleaded, resting his head on Sunoo's lap.
"Not even a syllable," Sunoo replied, running his fingers through Jake’s hair.
Heeseung, sitting beside them, reached over to caress Sunoo’s cheek. "You’ve been working so hard on this, love. Whatever it is, I know it’s going to be amazing."
Jay, who was standing by the window, turned to them with a teasing smirk. "Amazing is an understatement. Knowing our Sunoo, it’s going to break the internet."
"It already is," Jungwon added, scrolling through his phone. "The fans are losing it over the countdown. #SunooEverytime is trending, and it hasn’t even premiered yet."
Sunghoon chuckled, sitting cross-legged on the floor. "Can you blame them? Sunoo’s voice is like a gift from the heavens."
"Stop it, you guys," Sunoo said, blushing but smiling nonetheless. "You’re making me nervous!"
Niki, the youngest, leaned over the back of the couch to kiss Sunoo’s temple. "You don’t need to be nervous, love. We’re always proud of you, no matter what."

The clock struck midnight, and Sunoo’s surprise video went live. The husbands crowded around the TV as the screen transitioned to an elegant stage bathed in soft moonlight.
Sunoo appeared, dressed in a flowing white suit adorned with subtle silver accents. The moment the opening notes of Everytime played, his angelic voice filled the room, carrying emotion and tenderness in every word.
The husbands were captivated.
"Look at him," Heeseung whispered, his voice filled with awe. "He’s glowing."
Jay’s eyes softened as he watched Sunoo on the screen. "It’s like he’s singing directly to us."
"Who else could pull off something this breathtaking?" Jake murmured, his hand instinctively reaching for Sunoo’s.
Sunghoon’s gaze never left the screen. "It’s perfect. You’re perfect."
Even Jungwon, usually the most composed, had a glimmer of tears in his eyes. "Sunoo, you’re incredible."
Niki, who had been quietly taking in the performance, suddenly stood up and pulled Sunoo into a tight embrace. "How did we get so lucky to have you?"
As the final note faded, the husbands erupted into applause, their love and pride evident in their expressions. Online, fans were going wild. Comments flooded the video, praising Sunoo’s ethereal voice and heartfelt delivery.
