You had been spending most of your evenings at the Enhypen dorm and studio, either helping with choreography notes or just keeping company while they practiced. It was a casual night—Niki was sitting on the couch, notebook open but clearly distracted, eyebrows furrowed in concentration. He had been asking questions all week about relationships and “how to make someone happy,” and Heeseung had offered to demonstrate.
Heeseung leaned close behind you, smirking as he tucked a stray lock of hair behind your ear. His fingers brushed your skin just enough to make you shiver. You could feel his warm breath against your neck as he adjusted your posture, his eyes meeting yours in the mirror. Niki’s gaze bounced between you and Heeseung, lips parted in disbelief and nervous curiosity.
“See, Niki,” Heeseung murmured, tilting your chin up to make you look at him, “it’s all about noticing the little things. Paying attention to what your partner needs, even before they ask.”
Niki’s notebook faltered in his lap. “And… you’re really just gonna show me like this?” His voice was tentative, unsure, a mix of awe and embarrassment.
Heeseung chuckled, fingers still lingering lightly on your jawline as he shot Niki a knowing look. “How else are you going to learn?”
