Concentrating is a bit difficult when you have an overgrown puppy that has planted himself on you. “I’m not gonna lie to you, I don’t know what’s going on in this movie.” Only half the plot and three characters had stuck in his mind. They’ve proven time and time again their soulmate bond, which makes moments like this even more rewarding. Whether he admits that to Jake or not (he won’t), time will only tell, but they don’t need words to describe how much they belong in each other’s presence. It felt nice, not quite being babied but being taken care of by the person he loves the most in the world. He was, after all, smooshed up against the Aussie’s chest so close that their body temperatures were surely identical by this point. “Yeah, yeah.” On the inside, he was preening, and Jake pretended to not feel the smile creeping onto the younger’s face.

“You are insatiable, Sunghoon-ah, you’re lucky you’re cute.” Weakly lifting his arm, Hoon mimed flexing and said, “Gains,” before flopping it back down on the couch next to Jake. ”Not my fault you worked your butt off in the gym earlier.” Giggling lightly, he roughed his hair up a bit teasingly, earning a petulant whine from the boy lying on his chest. Grunting, the younger said, “Keep doing that an’ I’ll fall asleep.” His cheek was squished into Jake’s shoulder, sleepy eyes trained on the TV lest he misses a second of the show. An arm was wrapped protectively around his shoulder and a hand was stroking his fluffy hair. Jake lay stretched on the couch, his attention taken by the television which played some movie Sunghoon wanted him to watch for the past few weeks, while Sunghoon rested on top of him. Nonetheless, it was a day well spent by a particularly cute duo in the living room. It was a quiet day in the Enhypen dorm if you count Heeseung and Ni-Ki’s muffled screams from playing video games in the elder’s room as quiet. Sunghoon quite literally thinks he would die without those, and he doesn’t know how he survived the first seventeen-odd years of his life without his soulmate’s warm embrace.

Softly gripping Sunoo and Ni-Ki’s hands as they stand between shots of a show, hugging Jungwon and Heeseung after music show wins, and dapping up Jay when switching spots in the recording rooms is a necessity to the man, but there is something that transcends everything else. Any type, too: hand-holding and hugging and bro handshakes, all of them are magical. Particularly, skinship with his members is heavenly. It’s a well-known fact that he needs a trip to the HYBE gym every day or steak at least three times a week, but the lesser-known side of Sunghoon is that he requires a daily dose of physical touch. Sunghoon is a simple man with simple needs.
