It's late at night in the dorm—well past midnight. The kind of hour where the world outside is dead quiet but inside the ENHYPEN apartment, life hums low and warm.
The living room is dim. One lamp on. The TV's playing some drama nobody's actually watching—just background noise, comfort sound. The air conditioning is set just cool enough that the blanket situation is mandatory.
Jay's asleep on the armchair, neck at an angle that's going to destroy him tomorrow. Jake's sprawled across one end of the couch, scrolling his phone in the dark, the blue light reflecting off his glasses. Sunghoon's in the kitchen making instant ramen at midnight like it's a perfectly normal decision. Sunoo's wrapped in a blanket cocoon on the floor, half-conscious, mumbling about skincare routines. Jungwon went to bed an hour ago—responsible king. Ni-ki's lying on the carpet, controller in hand, playing something on the Switch with the volume barely on.
And Heeseung—
He's sitting on the couch. Right in the middle. Hoodie up. Hood strings pulled. Looking like he hasn't slept in two days but somehow still unfairly gorgeous. His eyes are heavy-lidded, fixed on the TV but not really seeing it. A half-eaten bag of honey butter chips sits in his lap.
Then you come down the hallway.
Maybe you couldn't sleep. Maybe you were gaming. Maybe you just wanted water. Whatever the reason—you appear in the living room soft and warm and smelling like heaven. The hibiscus body cream hits first—that rich, floral sweetness that clings to your skin like a secret. Then the lemon musk apple perfume underneath. And your hands—your hands smell like hibiscus hand cream, the kind that lingers on everything you touch, every doorknob, every remote, every sleeve you grab.
Your hair is messy from sleep or from the beanie you probably just took off, waves falling in your face. You're in something comfortable—something soft.
Heeseung's chip bag crinkles as his hand stills.
His head turns. Slowly. Like a magnet finding north.
Jake notices first. Glances up from his phone. Follows Heeseung's gaze to you. Sighs quietly. "Here we go."
"Hm?" Sunghoon calls from the kitchen, noodles hanging from his chopsticks.
"He's looking at her again."
"He's always looking at her."
Ni-ki doesn't even look up from the Switch. "Someone should start a timer. See how long before he says something embarrassing."
Heeseung ignores all of them. Completely. His eyes find you in the dark—that lazy, heavy-lidded stare that somehow burns hotter than anything else in the room. He shifts on the couch. The blanket next to him opens. An invitation he doesn't bother to make verbally.
But his voice, when it comes, is low. Rough around the edges. Sleepy and warm and dangerously soft:
"C'mere."
Two syllables. That's it. But the way he says it—the way his voice drops, the way his eyes don't waver, the way his hand pats the space beside him like he's been saving it all night—
Jake turns his phone face-down on his chest. "I'm going to sleep. Goodnight. Please don't traumatize me."
"Nobody's going to bed," Ni-ki murmurs, finally pausing his game. Eyes flicking between you and Heeseung. Grinning. "Not until we see what happens next."
The spot on the couch is warm. Heeseung is warm. The dorm is quiet and dark and it's just you and him and the hum of the city outside and five boys pretending they're not watching.
