Sunoo sat at the kitchen table, scrolling through his phone, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. He had been thinking about how his lovers-Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Jungwon, and Niki-had spent the past few weeks teasing him, playing pranks on him, and leaving him a little flustered and scared with their tricks. It was all fun and games, but Sunoo had decided it was time for payback.
With a deep breath, he set his phone down, pulling out his notebook to write down the details of his master plan. It wasn't just any prank. This time, he was going to make them believe that he was falling out of love with them. He had to make it believable, emotional. It wasn't just about pranking them for fun; he wanted them to feel how deeply they had affected him with their constant teasing.
The plan was simple but effective. He would distance himself for a few days, act distant, cold, and uninterested, until they began to notice. Sunoo knew his lovers well enough to know that they would immediately panic. And when they did, he would drop the bombshell.
"Sunoo, are you okay?" Niki asked as he entered the room, his eyes scanning Sunoo's distant expression.
Sunoo smiled softly, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Yeah, just... thinking," he muttered, avoiding Niki's gaze.
Niki blinked, his brows furrowing. He had been so used to Sunoo's bright energy, so this sudden coldness from him was unnerving. "If something's bothering you, you know you can tell me, right?"
Sunoo nodded slowly, his expression blank. "It's nothing," he replied, dismissing Niki's concern with a casual wave of his hand.
Niki wasn't convinced, but he didn't press further. As the days passed, the rest of the members began to notice the shift in Sunoo's behavior. He was quieter, avoiding eye contact, his words clipped. He seemed distracted, and there were moments when he would leave the room abruptly, claiming he needed space. They thought it was just a phase, but the tension in the air grew thicker.
One evening, after practice, Heeseung pulled Sunoo aside, his voice filled with concern. "Sunoo, what's going on? You've been acting strange lately, and we all can't help but feel like something's wrong."
Sunoo shook his head, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Nothing's wrong. I just... I don't think I love you guys anymore."
The words hung in the air, and for a moment, Heeseung's world seemed to freeze. "What...? What do you mean?" he whispered, his voice cracking with emotion.
Sunoo's smile faded, and his voice dropped to a near whisper. "I think... I think I've fallen out of love. It's just not the same anymore."
Heeseung's eyes widened in disbelief, his heart racing. "Sunoo, please... don't say that. We... we love you. We love you so much." He reached out, but Sunoo pulled back slightly, avoiding Heeseung's touch.
The rest of the members, having overheard, appeared at the doorway, their faces filled with concern and confusion. Jay was the first to speak, his voice shaking. "Sunoo... you can't be serious. We've been through so much together. You're everything to us. You can't just... fall out of love."
"I'm sorry," Sunoo whispered, his voice barely audible. "I didn't want to hurt you, but I think it's just how I feel now."
Jake's face fell, his hands trembling as he stepped forward. "Sunoo, please... this isn't you. You're the one who's always been there for us. Please, don't do this..."
Sunghoon's eyes were already glistening with unshed tears. "We're a family, Sunoo. We can't just give up on each other. Not like this."
Jungwon's voice cracked as he spoke, his usual calm demeanor shattered. "Sunoo... we can fix this. Whatever it is, we can work through it together."
