Chapter Text
There is an unspoken rule in ENHYPEN's dorm—a rule no one has ever said out loud, yet everyone follows with military precision:
Don't let Jay find out.
To the media and the fans, Park Jongseong is the group's rock: the tough guy, the effortlessly stylish one, the talented cook who feeds everyone and looks after the younger members with the patience of a saint. But behind closed doors, within the four walls they all share, Jay is the center of gravity around which six dangerously fast-moving orbits revolve.
It all started subtly.
An extra cup of coffee Heeseung would leave in the studio "by accident." One of Sunghoon's hoodies that somehow always ended up in Jay's closet. Jake's hugs that lingered just a little too long after a rough day. The knowing, almost possessive glances Jungwon would steal during interviews. Sunoo's strategically timed affection whenever he wanted Jay to cook his favorite meal. And the way Ni-ki could always find the flimsiest excuse to stand just a little closer to him during rehearsals.
For months, the atmosphere remained tense but surprisingly stable. A silent non-aggression pact where everyone tried to earn points without exposing themselves—or each other. None of them wanted to ruin the group's chemistry, but neither was willing to surrender any ground.
Until today.
Because someone has played dirty.
Someone has broken the gentlemen's agreement by leaving a gift on Jay's bed.
And now diplomacy is no longer an option.
In war and in love, anything goes. And when the prize is the heart of the sweetest, most oblivious, and most sought-after boy in the group, none of the other six have any intention of standing on the sidelines.
Let the games begin.
