Falling For You - ENHYPEN FF

52

Sunlight peeked through the gaps in the curtains, making Jeena blink groggily. Her head felt heavy after a long night of overthinking. Honestly, she didn't want to get up. She didn't want to deal with today. School was over, and she had no plans. It felt weird—like she was suddenly unemployed.

With zero motivation, Jeena dragged herself out of bed, her hair a complete mess, her face half-buried in her pillow. Without bothering to fix her hair or wash her face, she shuffled out of her room, making her way downstairs with half-closed eyes. The only thing on her mind: cold water.

But the moment she stepped into the living room—

"Morning, Jeena."

Her dad's cheerful voice made her pause mid-step. She turned lazily, only to—

"SURPRISE!!"

Seven voices rang out in unison, making Jeena jump in shock. Her half-closed eyes shot wide open.

Sitting comfortably on the couch, as if they owned the place, were the seven people who had made her life infinitely more chaotic—Sunghoon, Jay, Jungwon, Jake, Sunoo, Ni-ki, and Heeseung.

And as if the sudden ambush wasn't enough—

"Wow, look who just rolled out of bed looking all fresh," Ni-ki announced dramatically.

Sunoo burst out laughing. "You literally have pillow marks on your cheek."

Jake tried to hold back a grin, while Heeseung raised an eyebrow. "So, how does it feel waking up to seven handsome guys in your living room?"

Panic mode: activated.

Jeena's hands flew to her face, feeling the mess that was her bird's nest of hair. She immediately covered herself with both hands.

"W—what are you guys doing here?! And why didn't anyone tell me?! I haven't even washed my face!"

Jungwon chuckled, crossing his arms. "That's what makes it better. This is a rare sight."

Jay smirked, leaning forward slightly. "But honestly, Jeena, you're still cute—even half-asleep."

Jeena's face turned red as she whipped around to her dad, desperate for an explanation. "Dad, why are they here?!"

Her dad, completely unfazed, just smiled. "You should hurry up, take a shower, and pack your stuff before it gets too late."

Jeena frowned, confused. "Huh? Why? Where are we going?"

"Not 'we'. You and them." He nodded toward the seven boys, who were all grinning at her.

Her frown deepened. "Wait, wait. Where exactly are we going? No one told me anything!"

Sunghoon finally spoke up. "Today, we're kidnapping you."

Jeena's jaw dropped. "EXCUSE ME?!"

Ni-ki nodded enthusiastically. "Yup. No objections allowed. We're going on a trip—one night, just to have fun before we all get busy with university prep."

Heeseung added casually, "You have no reason to say no, Jeena. School's over, and you have zero plans today."

Jungwon patted her shoulder. "Think of it as a graduation gift from us."

Jeena was still struggling to process everything. "...and Dad is okay with this?"

Her dad chuckled. "Of course. I trust them."

She gave him a bewildered look. "You barely know them."

Jay grinned. "Not true. Sunghoon and I are already pretty familiar faces to Mr. Kim."
