Work Text:
“Sunoo-yah, don’t you have a schedule early in the morning?”
A soft voice filters into the room, diverting Sunoo’s attention from where he was scrolling through his hashtag on TikTok. He blinks dazedly, his eyes focusing on the figure standing by the doorway and his heart warms.
There his boyfriend was, clad in a baggy white long-sleeved shirt and pyjama bottoms decked in illustrations of those rice balls Jungwon compared them to a couple of years ago. His hair was a little dishevelled, probably from running a towel through it to dry it off.
“I do,” he replies, scooting over slightly just so his boyfriend could lie down next to him. Sunoo waits patiently till his lover was comfortably lying on the bed, before placing his head on the other’s chest.
He grinned when he heard the familiar lub-dub of the other’s heart, and he hugged his boyfriend tighter.
Park Sunghoon, South Korea’s proud Olympic figure skater, only looked at Sunoo with adoration in his eyes. Though Sunghoon was a well-known name between sports fans and a select handful of the public, Sunoo’s status as an idol led the two of them to keep their relationship private from the prying eyes of fans.
It was better that way; Sunghoon had a name for himself without having it connected with Sunoo’s at all, and Sunoo didn’t have to worry too much about dating scandals (of course there were still a couple of baseless rumours, but those are easy to debunk after a clear explanation). It was a win-win, really.
But it was days like these, where Sunoo was allowed to bury his head deeper into the crook of Sunghoon’s neck, inhaling the sandalwood smell that he missed so much, that Sunoo wanted nothing more but to scream to the world that this, was the man he was so in love with.
Of course, he was rational enough to know that randomly exposing a hidden relationship you’ve had for years will cause havoc within the industry, but who was Kim Sunoo to not be a menace?
“Hoonie-hyung.”
“Hm?”
Sunghoon threaded his fingers through Sunoo’s hair, playing with the strands with his fingertips. Sunoo’s hair was dyed a light shade of pink, the constant bleaching slightly drying his hair out. Sunghoon was warm to the touch, despite the fact that the older was dubbed as the ‘ice prince’. Contrary to popular belief though, Sunoo always ran cold, and it served to help that his boyfriend was his own personal heater; warming up his hands between the older’s own.
“What would you do if I just– I don’t know, told the world about us?”
There was a pregnant pause, the tension layering in the air till it grew thick. The skater looked at him blankly, eyes blinking at him as if he was a cat. It took a while before Sunghoon replied, “sure.”
This time, it was Sunoo’s turn to stare at him incredulously.
“Just like that? You’re gonna agree with me?”
“...I mean, how else was I supposed to react, baby? If you want to tell the world about us, I’ll support you. If you want to continue keeping us a secret, then that’s okay too.”
The older pulled him closer by his waist, as if he wasn’t close enough, like the minor gap between them was a hindrance and he would only be satisfied if Sunoo was pressed up against him as if they were whole. Sunoo shifted till the tip of his nose touched Sunghoon’s, a smile playing on his rosy lips. “Really?” He giggled when Sunghoon nodded enthusiastically, eyes crinkling into crescents like the glowing haze beyond their window. A dimple pops out on Sunghoon’s cheeks, and Sunoo reaches out to trace it with his thumb.
“Even if I turn it into a big, major scandal?”
“Yeah, why no–”
Sunghoon’s eyebrows knot.
“You’re going to what? ”
They don’t speak about it again for another week. Despite Sunoo getting Sunghoon’s permission to expose their relationship in the craziest way possible ( hell, Sunghoon would let him do anything, as long he gets to follow Sunoo till the ends of the universe), he’s still at a loss at how he’s supposed to do it.
Does he just randomly drag Sunghoon out into a club and start making out with him there? Amidst the sweaty bodies that push against them and the lights that seem to give him a whiplash every second?
Sunoo ponders on that thought for a moment. That would create a huge scandal, and Sunoo is always down to make out with his boyfriend. But he hates clubs, the music is always some overplayed remix of a recent pop song, and people are brazen when they’re drunk.
He could just post a picture of Sunghoon and him on his Instagram account, but that’s boring, and Sunoo wants to do something a little bit different.
Trudging through the hallways of his company building, he bows to every person he encounters on the way to the practice room, but his mind was somewhere else. It wasn’t until he finds himself face to face with someone’s chest that he realises he hasn’t been paying attention to his surroundings at all.
“Hyung! Be careful, you could’ve gotten hurt if I hadn’t stopped you.”
Looking up, Sunoo notices Jungwon’s smiling face, the latter’s body effectively blocking him off from the pole that he should’ve crashed into. “Oh shit, sorry. I’m just a bit distracted.” Jungwon hums in reply, letting go of Sunoo’s shoulders and instead locking his right arm with the older’s left. “Distracted? About what?” Jungwon glanced at him briefly, and then whipping his head to face Sunoo with his eyes blown wide.
“Sunoo-hyung, are you worrying about our comeback? Is that why you’re so distracted?”
At the younger’s concern, Sunoo only shook his head, lips tugging at the corners. Jungwon really does look like a cat, and it’s endearing whenever he fusses over the other members or Sunoo. “No no, it’s about something else,” he sighs, dragging Jungwon inside the empty practice room. Heeseung-hyung and Niki aren’t here yet, he thinks, setting his bag aside in the furthest corner. “A penny for your thoughts then, hyung?”
He massages his temples with his fingers, closing his eyes in frustration. Just why is it so hard to come up with a scandal elaborate enough that it’ll satisfy the insanity bubbling in him? Moreso, why the hell does he want to cause a scandal for himself? Honestly, Sunoo doesn’t have the answer to either of those.
He groans this time, flopping onto the hard wooden floors, the ceiling lights looking akin to the clinical brightness of a hospital ward. It’s disorienting, actually, maybe I should ask the company to change the lights in our practice room to something warmer. Jungwon moves to sit next to him, except he actually starts stretching like the good leader he is. “I want to tell everyone that Sunghoon and I are dating.”
“But…?”
Jungwon knows him too well, and it sparks a flood of affection in Sunoo’s chest for the younger boy.
“ But I’m crazy and I want to cause a scandal – obviously not in the way that will affect you guys! That’ll be too selfish of me.”
“Ey, don’t worry hyung. Whatever scandal you do is gonna be attached to your name only, I’ll make sure of it.”
And Sunoo laughs at how nonchalant Jungwon’s voice was, as if his own group member wanting to cause a ruckus in the entertainment industry was as normal as asking him what they’d have for lunch later on. Jungwon lodges his arm behind his head, stretching his shoulders as he peers at Sunoo through his lashes. There’s an air of mischief that swirls around the leader, and it reminds Sunoo that despite assuming a leadership position, Jungwon was thrust into the harsh reality of the industry at a young age. He never got the chance to live out the last of his teenage years the way a normal person has, so whenever a situation presents itself where Jungwon can let loose, he snatches it into his grasp. And Sunoo lets him, as long as it keeps his best friend happy, after all.
“Isn’t Sunghoon-hyung picking you up today?”
Confused, Sunoo sits up, tilting his head in the process. “Yes? He’s picking me up from the back exit of the company like he always does.” His leader cracks his knuckles as the door to the practice room opens, Heeseung and Niki dragging their feat wearily into the room. The two looked worse for wear, and Sunoo reckons the two stayed up to play League again. They nod in greeting though, before slumping against each other on the floor.
If their manager walks in and sees the two knocked out next to each other, it’s none of Sunoo’s business.
Focusing his attention back on Jungwon, he stands up, holding a hand out for the other to take. The two of them waltz to the speaker by the wall, getting their songs ready for the day. “What if you told him to pick you up from the entrance instead?” Not understanding Jungwon’s words, he poked the former on the side, laughing when the younger boy scrunched his nose at him. “What do you mean? That’s going to get Dispatch on our ass– Oh. ”
“Yeah…”
“ Oh. ”
Sunoo gasps dramatically, shocking Heeseung and Niki awake. “Yang Jungwon you fucking genius! ”

DISPATCH KOREA @dispatch.kr
BREAKING: #KimSunoo of #ENH4 spotted getting into a car allegedly driven by a mystery man. Information about the man is unknown.
[image description: a blurry shot of Sunoo wearing a varsity jacket and a white bucket hat pulled over his hair. He donned a mask that only showed his eyes, and was seen opening the passenger side of the car. The front window was tinted, concealing the general features of the man, except for the fact he had his head tilted towards Sunoo, revealing his prominent jaw line.]

sunoo’s bff @sunnysideup
be so fr rn what if it was literally just his friend like 😭
yu @sunswrld
omg sunoo GO GET EM?????
number 1 hoon stan @iceprince
lol why does he lowkey look familiar SLKJDHSKL probs just jawline aye
Upon the trickle of articles breaking out throughout the country, Sunoo was promptly called by his manager, the guy’s impeding sigh evident through the crackle of the phone line. “Kim Sunoo. What are you doing?” He muffles a laugh through the sleeve of his sweater, inhaling the familiar scent that only Sunghoon’s clothes could ever give him. “Nothing wrong? Just getting picked up by someone important to me, that’s all.”
He shifts on his bed, letting the comforter nuzzle around his face. Sunghoon isn’t home today, spending a bit more time at the ice rink to practice for an upcoming ice show, yet it would be a lie if Sunoo wasn’t missing the other’s presence a little more that day. He hears his manager groan for the nth time that night, “What happened to the ultra-secretive Sunoo, hm? We’ve asked you before if you wanted us to put out a statement confirming your relationship with Sunghoon-ssi when your first scandal broke out two years ago.”
(Sunoo’s first dating scandal went like this: it was Seollal at the time and the two were spending time together in Sunoo’s hometown. During one of the nights, they decided to huddle together in one of the fried chicken stalls down the road from Sunoo’s house, hands clasped together and warmed against the bite of the cold wind.
It’s tucked in a nondescript neighbourhood, meaning Sunoo could choose to be a little more lax on how he presented himself. Plus, the old lady that ran the stall was familiar with him, as she’s practically watched him grow up anyways.
There was really nothing to fear, but the articles following the day after told him otherwise.
He was lucky he could easily pass it off as him hanging out with an old friend, considering Sunghoon’s face was obscured by the wall the paparazzi were hiding from. But it was then that Sunoo learnt the reality of idol life three years into the job: that some things were better kept private.)
There was a brief pause before he continued, “That time you said no, because you wanted to tell your fans of your own accord.”
Sunoo finishes his thoughts off for him, “And you want to know what I want you guys to say this time?” An affirming hum sounds through the phone speaker, and for a second he feels grateful he’s been dealt with such a patient manager. “You know we aren’t stopping any of you boys from dating. That’s why it was okay even when you were still a trainee at the time,” his voice grew soft at the end, most likely reminiscent of the past years.
He’s right, though. Sunoo was truly lucky , given that his own company was okay with Sunghoon and him, and there was never really any issue when it came to dating. He’s heard his fair share of ‘dating horror stories’ from his idol friends, and Sunoo’s had to thank the Gods a million times that he’s got it relatively easy.
He still needs to give the other man an answer though.
“Hyung, just tell them that my personal life is nobody’s business but mine. It doesn’t matter if it was a friend or a partner, how should this affect them anyway?” He knew there was a hint of anxiousness in his voice as he spoke. Of course, it’s there – when you’re stuck in an industry where everyone’s eyes are on you constantly, judging your every move, there’s a chance this wouldn’t be received as well.
But quite frankly, Sunoo couldn’t care less. He’s just a guy who loves his boyfriend a whole lot, how does it matter how the public views it? He wasn’t committing a crime, and still, even if he was honestly just messing around with people at this point, it couldn’t hurt to say things like that every once in a while.
He’s still dead set on turning this into some stupid scandal though, just for the hell of it.
“Fine, we’ll do that. I know you have something up your sleeve, Sunoo. Whatever it is, just make sure it’s not going to affect your status as an idol, or the group.”
He gives another low hum, and the line on the other end goes flat.

Soft barking noises filtered through the hallway as Sunoo stepped into the house, his footsteps heavy with exhaustion. He can hear Sunghoon’s voice calming Gaeul down, the clanging of utensils getting louder as Sunoo got closer to the kitchen.
“Gaeul-ah, just hold still, okay? I’ll get your food ready.”
Dropping his bags by their dining table, Sunoo made his way towards his boyfriend, who had his back towards him. He let Sunghoon set Gaeul’s food down, before wrapping his arms around the other’s waist and nuzzling his head against the crook of Sunghoon’s neck. There was a hint of surprise as Sunghoon jumped upon contact, but relaxed immediately once he realised who it was.
“Long day?”
Sunghoon’s voice was soft, filled with affection as he used that tone specifically for Sunoo. Only for Sunoo. He whines in response, burying his head further into the warmth of the older’s neck. Sunghoon chuckles, turning around in Sunoo’s arms till he was facing him. He wraps his arms around the younger’s lithe waist, and Sunoo revels in how it feels like Sunghoon’s arms were made to hold him.
It’s always been like this; whenever Sunoo gets home after a long day from work Sunghoon’s there, a constant presence in a life of blinding flashes and crowds of colour. When Sunoo falls, knocked down by the anonymity of online personas, Sunghoon’s there to catch him.
He’s the only thing in Sunoo’s life that he knows won’t ever disappear, holding onto Sunoo just as hard as the former is.
When the fame and the lucrative aspects of his career are gone, he knows Sunghoon will be there. He always is, just as he finds a way to reel Sunoo back into the present, blocking out uncertain thoughts of a future the other couldn’t possibly imagine.
“What are you thinking about,” he whispers, a lift at the corner of his lips hints to Sunoo that he’s amused, filled with love. “You,” he replies simply. Because it is simple. “You know, Jay and Jake asked about the scandal that came about us the other day. They were curious how you let this happen.” There are words that Sunghoon doesn’t mention: because you’re always so careful. Because you try so hard to keep this to yourself.
Sunghoon takes the silence as a sign to continue, “They wanted to know if you wanted to let the world know of our relationship.” He rubs comforting circles on Sunoo’s lower back, drawing him closer. “Hm, I bet Jongseong-hyung figured it out first. He’s perceptive.” He feels Sunghoon nod as he gets pulled closer, and in the comfort of their home, shielded away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi –
Sunoo falls.
@sunbaragi’s story
[image description: it’s a simple photo of Sunoo’s dining room, plates of home-cooked food placed neatly on the table. At the very corner, slightly tucked away well enough that it wasn’t obvious, were two plates, evident that there was a second person with him.]
i’m home.
It’s been a while since Sunoo’s stepped foot in an ice rink, with his busy schedules and practices, he hasn’t had the time to watch any of Sunghoon’s shows or even his practices.
Now though, he’s managed to beg his company for just a little bit of free time, and he’s found himself walking down the familiar hallways of Sunghoon’s ice rink. This time though, the place was bustling with people; Sunoo’s definitely lost count of everyone he walked past holding a banner with Sunghoon’s face plastered on it.
He weaves between more people, ignoring some of the pointed glances thrown his way. He’s got a mask pulled up his face, but Sunoo couldn’t be bothered to shove a hat over his head to fully disguise himself.
He’s definitely going to be seeing himself in the tabloids once again, but it’s more thrilling when he’s doing it himself – all of his own accord. Plus, his newly dyed hair was now a dark shade of red, doing nothing to hide his true identity. Sunoo’s eyes darted around the area, finding the worn-down blue door of the locker rooms. There are barely any people now, and the particular area of the arena is secluded from the general public.
The staff he walks past greet him, faces familiar and nostalgic from when Sunoo had more time to see his boyfriend skate. It sends a pang through his chest, constricting in longing and want. Sunghoon makes him want more ; more years, more than what they are now . And it reminds him of why he’s doing all this in the first place, because he wants nothing more than to show the world that his boyfriend was the most talented person he’s ever known.
But life’s always better with a little fun.
Sunoo pushes past the door separating him from his boyfriend, and he’s greeted with the sight of Sunghoon lacing his skates in silence. Sunoo doesn’t say anything, aware of the other’s silent ritual before he goes on the ice. It’s akin to the way Sunoo wraps his hands around Niki’s, squeezing the boy tight as Jungwon and Heeseung circle around them. Once he knows Sunghoon was done, he sits next to his boyfriend, his own hands finding Sunghoon’s. “Are you ready?” He knows Sunghoon is ready, he can see it in the way the older’s feet are already pointed, as if he could do a double salchow if asked of him.
Instead of responding, Sunghoon kisses him lightly, lips pressing gently against him. Pulling away slightly, he peered at Sunoo from beneath his lashes, his warm breath ghosting over Sunoo’s lips and it all acted as a refuge from chaos.
“Ready now that you’re here.”
“Cheesy.”
Sunghoon pulled away fully, but his hand was still comfortably wrapped around his boyfriend’s waist. Reaching up, he brushes the stray strands of hair off Sunoo’s forehead, then moves to cup the other’s cheek tenderly. It’s all so warm, lovely and Sunoo wants, wants , wants.
“You’re thinking too much again, baby.”
The elder presses another kiss onto his temple, and Sunoo finds it ironic how he should be the one comforting Sunghoon’s nerves before he’s due on ice. He knows the other doesn’t need it though, years of relentless practice have toned down those nerves the same way it’s honed his axels. There’s a pressing thought that’s been running through his mind, and it’s clear that Sunghoon’s clocked in on it.
“Are you sure you’re okay with–,” he gestures briefly to his whole get-up – particularly the blaring red hair that seems blazing despite its darker tone, “ this. ” The way Sunghoon smiles back at him, bright and full, should honestly irk him. Because he’s basically putting their reputation on the line for some stupid little stunt, instead of being a normal person and just putting out a statement or something. Yet it eases him a little, and he’s reminded of how Sunghoon would follow him to the ends of the earth if he has to.
The other doesn’t hesitate to voice that out, either.
“I told you, didn’t I? I don’t care how you go about telling everyone about us, as long as it means I get to hold your hand out in public. And I don’t care either if you still want to keep this to us . It doesn’t matter to me.”
Seriously, what world did Sunoo save in his past life to deserve someone as loving as Sunghoon? Hell, he must’ve been a God before.
On cue, Sunoo’s phone pings, and he knows it’s simply Jay and Jake looking for him. “See you later?” He tilts his head, grinning at Sunghoon and it feels like everything will be okay.

Sunghoon’s gorgeous, as he always is, when he’s dancing on the ice. He starts off his program simply, with little twirls here and there, then splitting off into a combo spin. Sunghoon then amazes the crowd by doing his first (of many) quads of the night, then into an axel that he lands easily.
If Sunoo tried hard enough, he’d be back to the days when watching Sunghoon skate was a normality, not a luxury.
He watches as his boyfriend does another double salchow, and his heart soars. It’s nice to watch Sunghoon skate from the front rows, the experience of it completely different from watching him through a small TV in the back rooms just to avoid the flashing cameras. Sunoo finds he doesn’t mind the cameras and astonished looks directed his way today, either.
The crowd cheers when Sunghoon lands another axel, and Sunoo can see the slither of a grin teasing the older’s face. From the side, he heard Jake giggle, “whipped.” He does nothing except nudge the other in the ribs.
He cheers even louder when Sunghoon does one of his last step sequences, ignoring the pointed glances thrown his way. He’s aware of how his name’s been lingering in Naver's headlines for the past few weeks, people trying to figure out who the mystery person Sunoo’s been appearing with.
Perhaps after today, people would have a clearer idea. For now, though, all Sunoo cared about was how his boyfriend gleamed on ice.
[pannchoa]:
Is ENH4 Kim Sunoo dating Olympic skater Park Sunghoon?
Look, I’m sure we’re all aware now of how Sunoo’s been appearing with a man by his side, and there’s already speculation that they’re probably dating. And although Sunoo or TFW haven’t confirmed anything yet, it’s pretty obvious that there’s something going on.
That being said, Sunoo was also spotted over the weekend at the recent ice show that Sunghoon participated in, and now that I think about it, the ‘mystery’ guy has a very similar silhouette to Sunghoon.
Maybe I’m delusional, but here’s some other evidence I’ve found too:
- Both of them recently posted on their Instagram stories of a white dog that look alike. We know Sunghoon’s dog’s name is Gaeul, but since when did Sunoo have a dog that looks just like her?
- The background of the house in both the stories is also the same, Sunoo’s was just way zoomed in.
- They’ve both been posting pictures (though days apart) of the same places. I remember Sunoo posting a picture at LOTTE World and then days later Sunghoon does the same. The funny thing is, they were taken at the exact same place and with matching headbands.
- Didn’t they come from the same high school? I think it makes sense that they know each other.
- SUNOO WAS LITERALLY AT SUNGHOON’S ICE SHOW??????!!!!
Anyways, let me know your thoughts!
— replies
- ㅋㅋㅋ Wah, you guys are getting out of hand.
- Hey let’s not forget point 4, you literally said they came from the same school. Wouldn’t you support your friend too? Plus they have overlapping friends, we know the two of them are friends with Jay and Jake. Don’t make me laugh ㅋㅋㅋ
- OMG this makes so much sense! I’ve always had a feeling it was Sunghoon.
- If this is true they’d literally be the most visually appealing couple.
- Here comes the shippers…
- Wow… ㅠㅠㅠ never thought about these two like this until now ㅠㅠㅠ
There’s a lull in the background as Sunghoon turned their TV down a little, watching the person nuzzled to his side and press his cheek further into his shoulder. It’s their weekly movie night (not really, what with Sunoo’s fluctuating schedule, sometimes their weekly movie nights turn into monthly ), a quiet distraction from the tabloids that pierce their sides like a thorn.
Halfway through the movie, Sunoo was trying his best to stay awake, but Sunghoon could tell he was getting sleepy. The younger boy’s head was nodding off, his hand intertwined with Sunghoon’s slowly going lax. It was until he pulled the other closer and whispered sweet nothings into his ear that Sunoo fell asleep, soft snores escaping his plump lips.
“Sunoo-yah, I love you. So much,” he hums, pressing a kiss onto the crown of his head. Sunoo stirs slightly, but shows no signs of waking up, and Sunghoon sighs in relief. The last thing he’d ever want is to wake his boyfriend up from his much-needed beauty sleep. He gently prods the swollen bags underneath Sunoo’s eyes and his heart sinks .
Oh, how Sunghoon would give anything, everything, to take Sunoo’s hurts and exhaustion away. Despite the mischievous pretence Sunoo’s put up, Sunghoon’s aware of the toll the past few weeks have been putting on his boyfriend. Article after article; photograph after photograph – everything is snowballing into a huge scandal, exactly what Sunoo wanted and predicted.
Sunghoon just hopes everything goes well in the end, but genuinely, he doesn’t give a fuck what anyone else says. As long as it means he can give his boyfriend kisses whenever and wherever he wants.
Because like Sunoo, Sunghoon wants, wants, wants.

ENH4 stuns in new comeback: stories about the group’s practice style, recording anecdotes, dating, secrets, and more!
Writer Lee Jeonghyeon
There’s an epic high that washes over the crowd when ENH4 finishes their last song for the night, Gocheok Sky Dome sparkling in the midst of the comeback show. I could feel it too, albeit backstage, and it’s infectious when the four boys step into the interview room I’m in.
Now, they have an air of experience about them, long gone were the rawness of rookies and hardened by sheer practice and determination.
ENH4 is well known among idols and fans for their high-quality performances. How do you guys go about creating perfect performances each time?
JW: *laughs* I wouldn’t say our performances are always perfect. There are times we mess up too.
HS: Oh, definitely. I think the most memorable one was when Sunoo’s shoe flung across the stage and Ni-ki had to make it seem like he was supposed to be sliding across the stage just to grab it.
SN: Hey! We agreed to never mention that!
JW: Jokes aside though, we actually take our practices extremely seriously. Ni-ki’s often the one taking charge of making sure every detail in our dance is perfect. Sometimes he’d make us repeat it over and over again.
NK: I think it’s important that as idols, we stress the importance of showing our capabilities in our performances. After all, our fans are precious to us, and I know they’d want us to do our best on stage each time.
*teasing* Are there any specifically special fans?
SN: Ey, of course! *giggling* That’s all I’ll say for now.
Oh, is there someone special for you, Sunoo-ssi?
SN: Hm, I don’t want to say too much since I’m sure there are already people with their own suspicions. But it’s nice to have someone by your side when things get tough.
HS: You say that as if we aren’t here, Sunoo-yah!
NK: Yeah Hyung! Aren’t we brothers for life?
SN: Hahaha, okay okay!

KIM SUNOO WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT.
It doesn’t take long for Sunoo to finally tip over and do something . He’s been simmering this scandal of his for over two months now, aware that there’s still discourse about his supposed relationship online. Initially, he was contemplating on fucking around a bit more – but Sunghoon, God, Sunghoon.
He’s a piece of shit, Sunoo thinks, as he stares at his boyfriend grinning at him by the entrance of the private practice room he’s locked himself in. It seemed as if he just came straight from practice, as he still wore the black tracksuit he used for his practices. In his arms though, was a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. Had Sunoo not been perceptive enough, he probably wouldn’t have noticed it, but the flowers were picked and arranged so meticulously: love, trust, adoration.
It made him want to scream and cry, because how did he get so lucky?
“Sunghoon… what the hell are you doing here?”
Inviting himself into the room, Sunghoon shut the door softly, stepping closer to Sunoo’s space. “Why? Am I not allowed to come by my boyfriend’s practice, hm?” There’s a teasing tone to his voice, and Sunoo falls harder. Grabbing the bouquet from the other’s arms, Sunoo placed it gently on top of the keyboard behind him, before wrapping his arms around Sunghoon’s neck. “You… you’re crazy. ”
“Nuh uh, babe, that’s you.”
And Sunoo laughs, because Sunghoon is right. When they first met, back in their early high school days, he thought Sunghoon was an enigma. He was quiet and reserved, a remnant of the years he’s spent alone on the ice. But Sunoo was the opposite, dazzlingly bright, attracting people towards him like it was nothing. Yet there was something about the older boy that pushed Sunoo towards him, until he broke down Sunghoon’s walls one by one and –
Well, the rest was history.
“But why?” Sunoo couldn’t help but ask again, because everything felt so surreal he couldn’t comprehend it. He feels Sunghoon press a light kiss on his forehead, moving down to his eyes, the shell of his left ear, the tip of his nose, his cheeks, and finally his lips. When they kiss, Sunoo doesn’t feel the fireworks he once did many years ago, but instead, it comes with waves of love and affection. It was familiar and comforting, sometimes sending shivers down his spine. Sunghoon kisses him like they have all the time in the world, slow and languid. He wouldn’t trade it for the world.
They part away, but only briefly. “Because I love you,” Sunghoon whispers, and it made Sunoo feels so insane he just had to pull the other closer.
He’s going to do it.

[image description: it’s a series of photos, taken from the course of Sunoo’s week, except there’s hidden details in each photo. One was a picture of a path that was shaded by trees alongside it. Right in the middle of the path was the back of a man, tall with dark brown hair. The second was more simple, just a photo of cafe food, two mugs of coffee by the side. The third was a picture of Gaeul, and next to her was a figure crouched down, obviously petting her gently. The last was taken in one of Sunoo’s favourite practice rooms. It was a candid shot of Sunoo and Sunghoon laughing, the bouquet of flowers cradled in Sunoo’s arms.]
